Delegates At Fifty-Fourth Annual- Convention See ﬂrgent Need For Help From Government

M relief was the leading sub-
ject of the annual conventional
the Michigan State Grunge at

South Haven, October 25-27, and
most of the speakers discussed 
certain plan with which they were
quite familiar. No particular form
of relief was endorsed but it was
readily «agreed that there most be
relief of some kind before long or
the farmer would go under.

Tuesday altarnoon, October 25,
State _Master George F. Roxbungh.
of Reed City, gave his report before
the 200 delegates, representing more
than 30,009 Michigan Grangers, and
this was followed by the reports of
other oifioers. ,

“We must assert ourselves in no
uncertain terms if the farmer ever is
to enjoy the privileges of equality,”
said the state master. “We are con-
corned with prosperity for all and
not for other groups only at the ex—

pense of agriculture. Farming must.

be made an organized industry on a
par with labor and manufacturers.

‘ “First, we must ﬁght for some
other system of taxation. One that
will relieve the burdensome levies
upon real estate.

“Secondly, our slogan should he

‘tariff for all or tariﬂ for none’.”

' Mr. Roxburgh urged the Grange
to oppose all proposed reductions in

federal income and inheritance taxes

u'ntil a few more billions have been
lopped off the national war debt. If
congress feels the surplus is exces-
sive the state master proposed pro-
vision be made to return part of the
federal tax to’the states for state ex-
penses and educational purposes.

' ’ ‘ Indorses No Plan

Endorsement of any one farm re-
lief plan was withheld by the mas~
tor, but he recommended the dele-
gates give thoughtful consideration
to the administration’s stabilization
corporation plank, the Grange‘s eer-
tiﬁeate debenture proposal, the
McNary—'Ilaugeu equalization foo
method and the (Lingo/plan for agri-
cultural equality.

-' “It In time for form organizations

to speak in unison if we really want
federal farm relief legislation," said
Mr. Roxburgh, indicating he per-
sonally was favorable to a movement
to bring the Grange, Farm Bureau
and Farmers’ Council into a pact to
dares agricultural legislation legis—
lstlon time-girth next union of
congress. . ,

Other state and national problems
listed in his message Included 9. de-
mand for .a substantial reduction in
freight rates on farm products, a
fairer apportionment o funds to aid
rural schools and the d velopment of
the St. Lawrence waterway.

. “We must oppose the organized
effort to do away with the primary
election,” the master said in express-
ing no little alarm over a movement
in state politics at present. “Like
the airplane and the automobile the
primary election law needs improve-
ment, but it has come to stay," Rox-
burgh asserted. _

‘ At the Tuesday evening meeting
Mrs. Dora Steekman, State Grange
lecturer and member of the? State
Board .of Agriculture. discussed
f‘Tariffas a Farm Relief measure.”
‘ With the aid of charts and statis-
tics furnished by Seecretsries Hoover
and Jerome, Mrs. Stockmsn at-
tempted to shew «that industry and
labor were enjoying a larger “moo,-

v sureof protection under the present
' “digits/Du;

a bushel mumps wheat, but Mrs.
Stockman said she had found Amer-
ican mills were importing 13,000,090
bushels of Canadian wheat “soot
free" each- ylesr. This wheat she ex.
plained, was being manufactured in
bond for expert. The cane sugar
trust, she alleged, is enjoying a re-
fund of 20 per cent of the duty it
pays on Gnhan sugar.

, “My talk must. not be considered
as a tirade against the min," ex-
plained Mrs. Stockman. “It is not a
tirade against capital. It is not no
attempt to tear down the wage ad-
vantage of labor. But I hope it may
prove ‘a spur, a. clarion call to the
“more to go out and units in an
eﬁort to obtain the same tariff ad-
vantage as industry.

Mrs. Stockman became ironical in
dicussing eﬁorts to induce the gov-
ernment to curb oil production to
save the "oil supply of the future.”
Nothing is mid, she asserted, about
this being class legislation, yet if the

farmers seek legislaton to regulate
their production, immediately a
howl of class legislation goes up.

The Tuesday evening-meeting was
a frec-for—all discussion of tariﬂ, tax-
ation and farm relief. Besides Mrs.
Stockman’s talk there was one on
the MeNary-Haugen bill by Prof. J.
E. Cox, of the Michigan State Col-
lege, another on the debenture plan
advocated by the National Grange
by State Master Roxburgh, while M.
B. McPherson. of Lowell, farm mem-
ber of the newly-formed State tax
commission, proposed adjustaient of
taxation. Others to join in the de-
bate were A. 3. Cook. former mas~
ter of the Grange, N. P. Hull and
C. H. Bramble of Lansing, State Sen-
ator Peter B. Lennon of Flint, and
W. F. Taylor of Shelby.
‘ Mr. McPherson also argued in
favor of an income tax for Michigan
and urged that the members work
for a. repeal of the 3 per cent sales
tax on automobiles. -

Another general business session
took up the forenoon Wednesday,

Potato Show Train For Southwest Michigan

OUTHWESTEBN Michigan e to
have a. potato show train this
M1 to be operated by the New

York Central lines in cooperation
with the Michigan State College.

Following practically the same

course as the seed potato train oper-
ated last spring, this train is sched-
uled to stop at one point in each of
the following counties: Jackson,
Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Allegan, Van
Buren, Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph,
Branch and Hillsdale. One day stops
will be made at one town in each
county. >

Last spring the seed potato train

spread the gospel of better seed and‘
left in its path over 3,000 bushels of
certiﬁed seed among .600 farmers of
southwest Michigan. Even though
this has been a bad year for pota-
toes, the certiﬁed seed told their

story and as -a result- many snore-
farmers are interested in the use of,

~certiﬁed seed in the production of
high quality potatoes. ’

A potato show will be held in each
county wherell‘ibera-l premiums will
he offered to the growers. Potato

‘* growers, Boys' and Girls‘ Club mem-
bers, and agricultural high. schools
have: indicated «their. "desire.   take

sible by the State Department of Ag.
riculture, the Michigan Crop Im—
movement Association, the Potato
Growers Exchange, and local agen—
cies. such as the farm bureau, the
board of supervisors, chambers of
commerce, banks, and other local
interests.

Over $109 in premium money will
be provided for each county. Class-
es in Russet Rurals, Irish Cobblers,
White Rurals, Green Mountains and
contests in various counties will be
provided.

Potato grading and marketing will
be emphasized and liberal prizes will
be offered-in grinding contests open
to all farmers and Boys’ and Girls’
Club members, as well as students
in agricultural high schools.

There will be exhibits arranged
by the Michigan State College and
a potato specialist will be along to
assist any grower in producing, grad-

l-ing,» or marketing better potatoes.

Those in charge of, the train want
it understood that the consumer in
town is invited to visit this train as
well as the producer.-«;\ Something of
special interest to the housewife is
being arranged by the Home Eco-
nomies Department of Michigan
State College. ' ‘

The train will. operate from Do-
cember 6 to 15. The date for each
county will “be announced within a
short tine—0. 1!. Price.

while in the afternoon master’s, sec-
retary’s and lecturer’s conferences
were held. An open session in the
evening with a banquet and State
Lecturer’s program rounded out‘ a.
full day.
Dry Question

Oﬁicials indicated Wednesday that
they were sharply divided on the best
method to keep the State lawmakers
working in the interests of prohibi—
tion while in session at Lansing.
Mrs. Stockman suggested the sending
of 10 or 15 sensible women to legio-
lature to cooperate with the men
who are on the side of the drys.
State Master Roxborough jokingly
remarked that he had read an article
some place recently that stated there
are new four eongresswomen at
Washington and three of them are
wet. Both Grange leaders, however,
agreed that conditions in the State
and nation are not as bad as the wet:

 
 
   
  
  

A

would have us believe and the liquor ‘

interests are doing everything they
can to weaken the public’s faith in
prohibtion without much success.
They cited the recent Detroit mayor-
alty primary in which Mayor Smith,
an ardent wet, ran a poor second, as
an example.

Business sessions took up both the

forenoon and afternoon Thursday, '

the closing day and the conferring

of the ﬁfth and sixth degrees wound .

up the ﬁfty-fourth annual convention
of the State organization.

High lights of the ﬁnal day were
the resolutions presented and adopt—
ed by the delegates. They were unan-
imous in going on record as being
in favor of whatever farm relief
measure may be agreed on by leaders
of the Grange, Farm Bureau and
Farmers’ UniOn at their conference
to be held this month in Washington.
One delegate attempted to get an en-
dorsement of the McNary—Haugen
bill but others were reluctant to
state a preference on any of the re-
lief measures for fear of embaras-
sing the national organization. Rep.
John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, for-
mer master of the State Grange, de-
clared that he would vote for the
best bill which the agricultural com-
mittee, of which he is a member,
can frame.

He expects something ‘

like the MeNary-Haugen bill, modi- 
lied to meet the approval of Presi- .

dent Coolidge, will
result.

A molution favoring a 3-eent gas

be the ﬁnal ‘

tax was tabled ’jnst before lunch but '

later was taken up again and named
with the reservation there should he
a. corresponding reduction In the
weight tax if possible.

Ask Special Session

Other resolutions requested Gov.

Fred W. Green to call a special ses- v
sion of the Legislature to readjust ,

the inheritance tax; recommended a
State law requiring railroads to con-—
struct warning signals at crossings;
where they are declared necessary by
the, State Public Utilities Commis-
sion, and urged. driving a motorwa-
hicle while drunk be made a felony

S a large amount of peppermint
oil is produced in Michigan, it
might be interesting to those

not in the peppermint regions to
read about this crep, hOW~grown,
distilled, etc., and, as methods of
handling any crop vary, may put
some new thought in the minds of
the old or new mint grower in the
vregions where it is a part of the
year’s crop grown on the farm.

The peppermint plant belongs to
the mint family of plants, having a
stem and ﬂowers quite similar to the
catnip plant. It is grown for the oil
contained in the leaves, not in the
stem as would at ﬁrst be thought by
the uninitiated. The plant is propa-
gated through the planting of its
roots which are from a few inches to
three feet in length and about three-
sixteenths of an inch in diameter.
On these roots are small nodules or
join-tsfrom one to three inches apart
from which the dew plant grows.
Newvroots are growing on the plant
throughout the summer and fall on
and just underithe surface of the
soil and. late in the fall are plowed
doWn to aldepth of from three to
ﬁve inches for protection from the
freezing and thawing of late fall and
early spring. Roots intended solely
for planting purposes are sometimes

  
  
   
  
 
   
   
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
 
 
   
       
   
     
   
  
   
  
   
  
   
 
  
   
   
 
 
  
    
   
  
    

and are not plowed under, these

. the planting season opens.
Flows in Fall

We have made it our practice to
.plow land intended for the new mint
beds in the fall rather than early in
the spring, as we ﬁnd that we can
get. away to an earlier start in the
A spring and the soil works up in bet-
 t'er shape with a small amount of
work than when spring plowed. A
Well-pulverized seed—bed is a great
aid in the planting, permitting the
planter to work faster and to cover
the roots more evenly.

‘ Roots intended for the new seed
bed are dug from those plowed down
in the fall and placed in small piles
near the ﬁeld to be planted. These

legislature during its last ses-

Representative Hall. This bill is,

"An act to regulate the buying and

selling of poultry; to aid in the de-

tection and prevention of crime in

and, to provide a penalty therefor."

Section '1 of the bill reads, “Any

keep a record of the date of such
purchase, the name and residence of
the seller, kind of poultry purchased

plants are covered by" a thin layer of
dirt so as to exclude the air, as they
dry out very easily and make a poor
growth unless kept moist and fresh.
We sometimes dig an ordinary Wag-‘
on box full‘of the roots and plant
direct from the wagon, keeping the
roots well covered with a canvass or
blankets. This is a satisfactory plan
when the ﬁeld is not too long.

Our method of marking out the
furrows in which the roots are to be
planted vary somewhat. We used a_
one—horse two shovel marker for
several years. This marker had
shafts and handles and the shovels
were placed thirty-two inches apart.
A"‘three-by—eight inch plank was
used as the runners of an eight foot
dray, the runners being left blunt
and this was used at different times
to furrow out for the planting of
the roots. When it is desired to
make the furrows deeper, the driver
stands near the front end of the
dray which is being drawn by one
horse, and to make them shallower
he steps back nearer the rear end.
Either of these markers can be made
to mark the width» the farmer de-
sires to plant the mint.

These furrows should be about
four or ﬁve inches in depth. The
shallow plantings will permit the
new plants to get a quicker'start

to ﬁve inches.

Planting

We next take an ordinary grain

«or gunny sack and ﬁll it full With,

the roots, tie two earners together
with a strap of strings and hang it
on our shoulders, in this way leav-

ing both hands free fer planting. The

roots are drawn out ,of the sack with
one hand and the other helps to sep-

arate the roOts and then'drops them‘

in the furrow one at a time, ends
touching. As was stated above, we
use all fours in the planting of pep-

permint. As we walk along we-shove'

the loose dirt into the‘furrows with
covering the roots to a
depth of three to four inches. ,
ordinary man will plant about one-
half an acre of mint in a day.
unusual man, of which there are but
a few, will plant an acre, but many

men seem unable to, as we say, get-

the hang of it, and can plant perhaps
a“ quarter as much.

It takes about two weeks for the
new plants to rget through the
ground and get- their ﬁrst leaves
started. We drag the new mint bed
with a spring—tooth drag,'_teeth set
at a slant of about forty degrees
from the level of the ﬁeld, tWice'be-I

mint is cultivated reach; Week until
new roots which begin to form in the
middle of the summer havewgrown
out from the plant to where the cul-
tivator shovels injure them. If the'

- mint has been hoed a couple of times-

in'addition to the weekly cultivating
there is small chance for the weeds
to grow as the foliage will shade
the ground by this time. Our experi-
ence has taught us that the early
planted mint, like the early sown
oats, brings home the bacon, also
the more the mint is cultivated and
the ground is stirred, the more oil
we can expect when the crop is har-
vested.
p Harvest Time

About the time the mint begins to
reach full-bloom, the leaves will
show: a golden glow, looking at them
towards the sun. To us this is an
indication that the harvest time is
ready ‘and we at once start to cutting
and bunching the mint. If left long
after these indications show up, the
leaves begin to fall to the ground
and with" each leaf goes a drop of
oil. To do a clean job of cutting,
an ordinary scythe cannot be beaten,
but unless the price of oil is very
high, an old _mowing machine with
the cutting bar shortened to a two
foot length is very satisfactory.
There are two'v—shaped irons fas-
tened to the cutting bar which shove
the plants to a near upright position
and in this manner not much is'left
on the ground. The mint hay is al-
lowed to dry in bunches and when
dry is drawn to the mint distillery.
Oil can be distilled from the green‘
mint but it takes longer to get the

' oil out, and after it is loaded on a

wagon must be taken ed in a short
time as it will heat very quickly and
in some manner cause'loss of much
of the'oil. ' '
' Distilling

We do not own a, distillery but
haul it to a neighbor’s still who does
custom work, charging us from four
to ten dollars a tub, depending on
the amount the tub yields. In the
ordinary still there are two tubs
about seven feet in diameter and
about as deep. While the oil is
being distilled in one of these tubs
the other tub is being ﬁlled so that
there is no waste of time during the
rush season. After the mint is in
the tub and an airtight cover has
been placed over it, steam is forced
from an_ ordinary steam boiler
through a pipe in the bottom of the
tub. The hot steam forces the oil

yield is normal and the acreage 13
per cent above that or last year it
makes the farmers rush their pota-
toes to market and causes the large
buyers to hold or! for cheap prices.
Even if there Were as many potatoes
grown this year as the people could
consume the farmer should have a
fair price because a gpod price for
potatoes only means better roads,
new machinery and a few old debts
paid off.

Potatoes are the cheapest food the

Last year Buick said: "Change your "
oil only four times a. year.”

Buick tests at the great Proving
Ground of General Motors at that
time had shown that oil changes would
929091“ be necessary, with the Oil Filter
to remove impurities, and with the
Crankcase Ventilator, Thermostatic
Circulation Control and Automatic
Heat Control to prevent oil dilution.

_ Now more than a year has passed, and
Buick owners in every section of the
worldwunder every climatic condi-
tion—«have also proved that you never

need change your oil if you own a.
Buick—just add enough to maintain
the proper level.

The trouble and expense of frequent
oil changes are now things of the past
with, Buick owners——replenishment
and inspection of the Buick Oil Filter
only are required.

This is but another of Buick’s many
contributions to the I economy and
eﬂiciency of motor car operation .v . .
another instance of Buick’s progres-
siveness . . . another indication of
Buick’s greater value.

(Continued from October 22 issue)

E spent the night in the \timber near
H her cabin. No one came near her.
Duncan heard her sobbing to herself
in the middle of the night, but did not

dare to go near her least someone see him.‘

In the morning, he 'did chores of all
sorts. Sleepy from the brbken rest of
several nights, he was able to act the
chuckle-head without much effort. He
contrived to make mistakes amusing rath-
er than irritating. The men seemed to
accept him as they would a new dog;
moreover, he was a handy butt for jokes.

Half a. dozen men hustled around vig-
orously, rolling packs, cleaning riﬂes and
pistols, grooming and saddling horses.
Captain Locke was to start off for the
settlements to the east soon. The lucky
ones of the lot would go with him, wind
up the sale of the stolen stock and spend
a happy night or two in the taverns' along
the route.

The man with the crooked nose was sit-
ting on a log near the creek when Locke
came up to him. Duncan saw the meet—
ing and came cldsér to listen.

"Coming?" asked the captain.

The man pointed to his arm, still in a
sling.

“You don’t need an arm to ride." Locke
was scornful. .

“Spencer gave me ten shillings to take
my place." the fellow explained. “Any-
way, I ain’t ﬁt to ride." . '

Locke turned away without comment.
He noted Duncan, and beckoned to him.
The boy slipped after him into ,the woods.

“Keep your 'eyes open after I am gone,"
directed the captain briskly. “Say nothing
to anybody, but tell me everything that
happens. If they bother that girl—"

“I’ll. ﬁnd out everything, sir," Duncan
assured him. "At a pinch, I could do
more. I can shoot." x

Locke looked at him thoughtfully.

“No harm, maybe,” he said as if to him-
self; "probably not much good, either.
Well, hide this, and if anyone forgets who
is captain here or that my cabin is to be
left alone, use it on him—’41! your nerve
holds." .

He pulled from his belt one of the pist-
ols that Duncan admired, a long, slim

’barreled weapon with its grip inlaid with

siiver. Duncan put it- inside his shirt.

The troop formed. Locke mounted. He

waved the men around him. ‘
' “Homer is in command while I am
gone," he commanded. “I’ll be back be-
fore you expect me. Keep the outposts
on the trails. Don't fool with what does-
n’t concern you."

They rode off. Homer, an elderly
man with a thick black beard and small
pig eyes, sent off two pickets to watch
the trails to east and west. The rest
swore at their luck and. went to sleep. So
did Duncan, with his right hand inside
his shirt and gripping tightly the handle
of the captain’s pistol.

When later he took the girl'something
to eat, she pressed him harder with ques-
tions than she had done before.

“How did you get here?” she asked.

He explained brieﬂy.

She opened her eyes wide. .

“That was brave !" she cried; and then
spoiled it by adding, “And you are such
a little fellow, too.” -

He ﬂushed darkly. “I can takeoare of
myself," he said, “and I am older than I
look. I'm sixteen, nearly seventeen.”

She was surprised. but still bent, it :

seemed, on teasing him.
“That’s not so very old, tho, is it?" she

asked. ‘
“it’s as old as you are, Miss," he
snapped; “and sixteen's grown for the

back country." - ,
She took that in silence, and when she
did speak again, it was‘ln a'ver'y small
and differential voice. She asked about
their chanCe of getting away.
» Duncan heard that in gloomy silence.
Escape? He had pondered over that word
as he slept and as he woke. He felt tied
to this girl, whom he hardly knew, by
bands too strong to break. » The very
thought of another man touching her

'made him wince as if he had beep struck

himself. He had been drawn to her ﬁrst
by that obscure alchemy that" works in
the blood at his age. and perhaps earlier

in times and places where men are made ’
. from boys in shorter time than regula-
' tion.

His hasty resolution, when the

camp was attacked, had made «her the

' subject of a vow din which hlshwhole be-
.ing wasnwrappﬂ ‘   ad

a, fine buck before he swent back to the
cabin, and to win that fanciful wager he
had gone for miles thru brush and hills,
on short rations, and sleeping on a single
blanket on the ground. In such a way,
but even more strongly, he had'commit-
ted himself to getting this girl away from
the gang. It was to be for him sort of a

supreme, test of his skill and courage. '

The ﬁnal proof of his absorption’in the
girl had come-when he admitted his age.
For her he had, been willing to abandon
the pose that had earned him amusement,
and 'in this case safety. So far as his
inner life was concerned, he had done
more. He had made her, by that act of
confession, ﬂesh of his ﬂesh,’ and bone of
his bone. She was part of him, and there
could be no secrets between them.

He had gone into the matter lightly
enough; now it seemed different. His new
consciousness of the girl made him some-
how more vulnerable. He saw clearly the
dangers of the proximity of a. dozen idle
men of uncertain virtue. Homer might
be loyal to the captain. He was certain
that Romkey, the man with the bandaged
arm and battered nose, was not.

"Soon," he declared, and tried hard to

[make his voice cheerful. "I’ll warn you
in time. Keep up your courage."
. Three _ days passed slowly. Duncan
picked up a. good deal of information
about the habits of the gang. The brand-
~ed ‘man and. one or two others worked
up north on the road and brought news
of trains worth robbing. They left the
‘iittle towns on the road alone, and did
not bother even lonely farms. People
in the valley might disregard the reports
of robberies on passing trains, but they
Zwould be up in arms if the residents were
attacked. Some day, Duncan was told,
when the gang decided to move to new
ﬁelds, they would make a clean sweep of
the hamlets and farms and then be-gone‘
for good before the settlers could re—
taliate. _ -

Nothing seemed to offer a chance of
escape. He could only watch and hope.
He did notice that Romkey was forever
passing among the men, his tongue going
steadily. He stopped when the boy was
near, and Duncan dared not show too
much curiosity. Homer paid no attention
to him. He sat on a stump, smoked a
pipe, and stroked his beard with heavy
ﬁngers on which black hair bristled. He
changed sentries on the trail every four
hours: for the rest he hardly moved.

Thenextnl‘ght. as. before, Duncan lay
on the edge of the woods. Nothing stirred.
He got up drowslly in the morning, helped
with the breakfast and the chores, and
went to sleep again. As he dished out
the rations at noon, he noticed that Hor-
ner was missing.

"Out skirmishing for acme meat," one
man explained.

Along about two o’clock, several of the
men showed uneasiness. They began to
look up the trail with a. worried air. Two
went over to Romkey and spoke to him.
, "George, you run up the trail and tell
those boys to come in," Romkey ordered.
“No sense in posting guards oi! there
anyway." -

A' man-started up the trail. The others
seemed uncertain. ' v - '

‘WVhat’ll Homer say? someone asked.

"What’ll the captain say?” This in a.
tone more anxious. _. ,.

Romkey swelled; like , e. turkey-cock.
"What do we care?" he _roared. “Wé’ve
took ‘too many orders." Them two ain't
any better than us." . ~

Some apparently were not so sure. Rom-
key convinced them. by dragging out a.
keg of whisky from the captain’s cabin
and serving it out. He grew steadily
more, popular as the whisky took effect.
Finally one man mounted the keg.

,"Let’s' elect a new captain," he ereid.
"The old one's as bad as n. confounded
naval officer. Romkey's the man for us.”

They cheered him and voted aye for
Romkey. Duncan noted that the man’s
arm was out of the sling and apparently
as well as ever. \

Supper time came. The cook was active
in the convival circle around Romkey and
the keg. Duncan busied himself with the
cooking, and came presently to bid them
help themselves from’the kettle.

Some came over a bit unsteadily. Some
stayed by‘the keg. ' For Romkey, ‘ Duncan
scooped the choicest, meat out of the. stew
and handedvit to him on a clean trencher.

Explain absolution from sin\as -

found in John 20:23. ‘

HE Gospel absolves from sin
upon its own: terms. The John
context relates how Jesus vis-

its His disciples after His resurrec—
tion and empowers them for their
apostolic work through the Holy
Spirit. He then commits them to
the serviée of declaring to the world
the Gospel that belief in Jesus Christ
is salvation from sin. See also Mat-
thew 16:18-19. The church’s power
in relation to the forgiveness of sin
is.declarative rather than absolute.
The individual is assured that con-
fesson of and loyalty to Christ will
- remit sins and give spiritual power.
Acts 2:38. Absolution from sin
comes from God and not from any
minister or priest. Church laws or
creeds have no. remitting power.
This is a solemn transaction be-
tween the forgiven and the Forgiver.
The individual confesses faith in God
through Christ, and God trusts the
individual. This covenant brings
soul harmony. “Being therefore
justiﬁed by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ.” Romans 5:1.

t i

What is the state of the dead? By
that I mean, when we lose some very
near and very dear relatives, should
we think of them as soul and body
sleeping until the judgment day or
the spirit departing for the better
land?

These questions take us to the
realm of the unseen from which
comes no answer in terms of sense
orof scientiﬁc proof. Any satisfac-
tory opinion must be of a faith-
charscter. “Faith is assurance of
things hoped for, a conviction of
things not seen." The reverent bur-
ial that this Christian age gives the
dead involves faith in a completer
life beyond the grave. The essence-
of this belief is found in the teaching
of Jesus. Faith loves to base opin-
ion upon this evidence.

1. The dead live on and in a per-
fectly conscious state, as in the cases
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Mark
12:26-27. The real personality, or
the soul, which is separated from
the material body at death, lives
eternally because all essential life is
in the soul, which is sustained alone
by its Giver. Luke 12:4.

2. The teaching of Luke 16:19-31
and 23:43 indicates a direct transi-
tion at death' into .the ﬁnal state.
Comparing this with what Paul says
in 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Philippians
1:23, we may reasonably believe
there is no intermediate state during
which a soul‘sleeps or is delayed in
reaching its highest hopes or its
deepest miseries. This is borne out
by the whole Gospel of John. Here,
divine life is a present possession
but continues on notwithstanding
physical death. Death, to John, is
only a passing incident in the life-
cycle. It is just'a natural event to
indicate one has taken one’s place in
another realm. “He who believes in
Me will live, even if he dies." John

11:26. Paul, in his argumentVin I
First Corinthians and ﬁfteenth
chapter, calls ,this a .resurrection

from the natural body which is cor-
“wt. to the spiritual body which is
incorrupt. After death, the soul
Will take 011 a bOdY which is adapted
to the conditions of the higher realm.
_It will not be ﬂesh and blood, 1 Cor-
inthians 15:50; but its new fashion
7 is hinted at in Philippians 3:20-21.
3. It is important to know that
the way We live before death deter-

mines the portion of the soul after,
.‘death. In thissense, a Judgment
takes place at death, which assigns

the soul to a state of bliss or one of _
remorse. Luke 16:19-31 and 12:

« 16—21.” H A , ,.
» 4.; Therefore, such c o n s o l in g.

apply to.-'all good spirits, who at

Christ which is a state described in
Philippians 1:23 as being “very far

What if a Christian falls into sin?

This phase of the sin question is
plainly handled by St. John in his
ﬁrst epistle. 3:9 declares that it is
impossible for a Christian to live in
sin. See also Romans 6:2.‘ This
means that the child of God does not

:8

want to, does not intend to, and does _

not willfully sin. But sin inclina-
tions lead to unintentional mistakes

and temporary deﬁlements. This is
unconscious sinning, and when
,known must he confessed. 1 John

1:8-9.
t O .
Was Jesus baptized by immersion
and was this mode continued by ear-

ly church?

Regarding the mode which John
used in baptizing Jesus, there is no

- literal “‘thus saith? the‘ ﬂora." How-
ever there are inferences so strong
in favor of immersion that they are
reasonably tantamount to direct evi-
dence. Let. us put them down some-
thing like the following:

1. The proselyte baptism of the
Jews is generally believed to be im-
mersion.

2. One would naturally conclude
that immersion was used by John
since he chose the Jordan river “be-
cause there was much water there.”
John 3:23.

3. That immersion was continued
as the form of baptism of the early
church, seems fairly indicated by the
symbolism of the New Testament.
Compare the following: A birth,
John 3:8;a burial, Romans 6:4; a
resurrection as in Romans 6:5.

# . t

. Is water baptism a saving] or-
dinance?

Water baptism is one’s pledge of
faith, Mark 16:16; of repentance
and confession, Mark 1:4-5; and in
general, of Christian discipleship,
Matt. 28:19. But, like all sacra-
ments or religious rites, it has no
inherent power to save. It cannot
beget life. It lacks regenerative
energy. Let us not forget that which
is vital. Water baptism but sym-
bolizes that which is real in spiritual
cleasing, in a rebirth of the soul
into the new realm of Christian/as-
pirations and service. This. spiritual

,well as the Old.

  

._  

   

‘1

baptism‘is the thing that matters.
John 3:5-6: Acts'1:8; Mark 1:8. .
In the attempt of the early Jewish
Christians to tack the old to the new
by insisting that circumcision was
necessary to Godliness,
an eternal law as follows: “ or.
neither is circumcision anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creature.”
This principle declares that all ex-
ternal rites are nothing as compared
with the essential of a new nature.
And rites of the New Testament as
Ordinances may
have a place as sense helps to spirit-
ual reality, but in saving essence,
they are nothing. Salvation depends
upon quite another class of circum-
stances, which may or may not be
present at baptism. Baptism in
water is no substitute for nor guar-
antee of a spiritual baptism. It is

I the latter baptism which makes one

a Christian, and is therefore indis-
pensable. To remember this posi-
tive principle is to keep all forms or
lack of forms in proper relation in
the Christian system. Baptism or
no baptism, both alike are ineffec-
tual. Spiritual union with Christ is
essential salvation.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD: I
shall not want. Surely gocdness and
mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for even—Psalm
23:1, 6.

AGRICUDI‘URE AT M. S. O.

HE Bay City Times—Tribune takes us to task
editorially for suggesting that agriculture is
apparently passing at the Michigan State

College. We are worrying over a small matter.
in their estimation,~sort of makingm mountain
out of a mole hill, so to speak. Taking the view-
point of the uninformed man, born and bred in
the city, they seem to feel that agriculture is re-
ceiving all the attention it deserves at the Col-
lege that was originally founded for the good of
the farming industry of our fair State.

They can not see why M. S. 0. should be purely
an agricultural institution, “as it offered other
courses such as forestry, home economics and
engineering." We would ask them if they do not
think these subjects are affiliated with the busi-
ness of farming and can be included under the
head of agriculture. Their picture of a. farmer
appears to be one that was discarded many years
ago. Perhaps it would do their 'editorial- writer
a world of good if he would take a trip into the
country some day and get acquainted with at
least a few of the business farmers and see how
they carry on their farming operations. After
that, no doubt, they would see their way clear
to give a little space to something that would
encourage a better relationship between the city
man and the farmer so they will understand each
others’ problems.

They state that we point to the "crowded con-
dition of the campus as evidence of discrimination
against agriculture,” and suggest that this con-

:dition should show just the opposite sentiment.

We ask them to again read our editorial. We.
said nothing about a “crowded campus” but did
suggest that the space devoted to departments
directly concerning agriculture was cramped.
Visit the agricultural building and judge for your-

self. In our estimation the campus is not'crowd-'

ed, it is the strictly agricultural departments.

Agriculture is the backbone of the nation and”

we feel sure that even our city newspaper friends

 will‘huve to admitdt if they investigate a little.

Could :we get along without our backbone? Some

peopleeupparont’ly‘ do not have" any but if nature _

failed to proxido them with one we think they

 

ould experience considerable difficulty in  "

has been a hard fall on-jho We. in
Michigan. For several weeks we have been

receiving letters about the bird; most 0: then '

condemning it as a destroyer of the turmeric
crops but a few claiming that the insects and
weed seeds he eats pays for the damage he does.
and we have published as many as we could
spars space for. Now, as this is written, the,
open season is on and hunters are doing their best
to reduce the pheasant population of our State.

Sportsmen defend the bird by quoting its value ‘

as an insect and pest destroyer while farmers
attempt to show through actual experiences the
losses caused to them. Most statements given
out by scientists have favored the sportsmen but
now the farmers seem to have a friend in M. D.
Pirnie, of the New York State College of Agricul-
ture. who has made a study of the eating habits
of the pheasant and found that it is a source'ot
real loss to farmers as it eats ripe tomatoes, corn
on the ear, grain and other crops. As awresult.
of his study the legislature in that state will be
asked to increase the number of pheasants which
any one hunter can bag during one season.

We think our own lawmakers in their next

- session at Lansing could use some time to a very

good advantage by working out some legislation
along this line for Michigan. In addition to 'sub—
stantially increasing the number that can be
killed in a. season it might be a good idea to

make the season longer.

Let’s have your ideas on this.

CORN BORER FOR FISH BAIT

ONE of us are so bad that there isn’t some
good in us. Even the European COrn Borer
about which we have heard and said so much

within recent years can be included, thanks to

the discovery of Prof. C. W. Dibble of the expert. ‘

ment station near Monroe. Recently Prof. Dibble
and some friends were on a ﬁshing trip and ran
out of bait. To be ﬁshing and run out of bait, is
an extremely unpleasant thing to do and most of
,us would have reeled in our line and returned
home disgusted with the world in general, but
not Prof. Dibble. He tookthe bait box, climbed
a fence and invaded a corn ﬁeld were he began to
look for corn borers. He found plenty of them
which he placed in the bait box and in a short
time he had it full. Returning to the river he
put a nice fat borer on his book and casting
it into the water he sat back to await results.
Not long did he have to wait before there was a
tug on his line—he had a bite—and within a few
seconds a nice perch laid on the bank beside him.
And, we are told, this was the first of a nice
string of perch which Prof. Dibble curried home
that day, all of them caught with corn borer bait.
Now when the wife criticizes you for taking
time off to go ﬁshing you can assume an injured
attitude and inform her that you were merely
helping the government with its corn borer eradio
cation campaign, and if you catch anything, you
can add you were also providing the family with
a change of diet.
PROTECTING BEARS
IL 1925 it was lawful to hunt black bear
l ] at any time in Michigan but that year our
legislature adopted a measure protecting it
except during ﬁfteen days in November each
year. Farmers began to report damage and loss
of sheep from the raids of hours so our 1927
legislature passed a law providing for compensa-
tion for damage to property. During the ﬁrst
three months this law was in force the State
paid out 32,297. By the end of twelve months
the total paid out will be more than four times
this amount.
Is the preservation of the black bear worth
what it is costing us? We do not think so.

Bayonne, New Jersey, must “be

- sider the inquiries we are receiving

as , an indicatiom t Ali are asking

"what we think oi the company. ‘ _‘

We are sorry but we‘ can not speak '
very highly of them, although We
have had only one complaint and
they settled that promptly, stating
“we do‘not care to have diesatisi‘led
customers." a“ -

They' goiter an apron sewing
scheme, suggesting that women can
make big money during their. spare
time—from $6.50- to $17.00 a dozen,
accbrding v to their literature. They
advise they 'fnrnish all materials,
buttons, trimmings, and instructions
on how to do. the required work on
the aprons which: are already cut out.
Also they advise they show the work-
er how to get started in the money-
making business. Just send $1.50,
no more, and the ﬁrst apron with
all the necessary trimmings and in-
structions will come in the next
mail. Then you are on the high road
to success. ‘ '

A ‘Lapeer county subscriber sent
the dollar and a half and ‘got an
apron made of common percale,

. which she says usually sells ready

made for about 75¢. If she wanted
to do the highly proﬁtable work they
told about she was to purchase more
material from them at wholesale
prices, make the aprons and then go
from house to house in" nearby towns
selling them. After the worker
made three dozen apron-s they would
refund the $1.50 paid, according to

were. “taken in" with this proposi-

Where property has been stolen
from your farm you should at once
communicate with your sheriil', tell-
ing him about THE Busnvnss Fauna
and its rewards, then you should
write" us complete details within
three days oi the time the theft
takes place. The reward tor chicken
thieves is $50 and for thieves taking
other property, as speciﬁed 0n the
card supplied to our subscribers, we
pay $25. One reward is paid in each
case to the person who supplies the
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of persons guilty of steel-

plied with. After thieves have been
apprehended we must be notiﬁed be-

As an incentive to get out and get
the thieves our oﬁer of rewards has
done considerable. Oﬁicers are more
alive to the situation, not because
of the reward they may receive but
because they have come to more
fully appreciate how serious the
rural thievery problem is, due to our .
active campaign. _ With rare excep»-

cooperate and some of them have
been instrumental in having rewards
offered by their own counties.

In a few counties protective asso-
ciations have been organized. So
far their inﬂuence has not been
very great but these associations are
well worth while and as the number
increases in the State so will their

just as important to know that there is
only one genuine Bayer Aspirin. The
name Bayer is on every tablet, and on
the box. If it says Bayer, it’s genuine;
and if it doesn’t, it is not! Headaches
are dispelled by Bayer Aspirin. So are
colds, and the pain that goes with
them; even neuralgia, neuritis, and
rheumatism promptly relieved. Get
Bayer—at any drugstorcL—with provcn

lVIY RA GETS SOME THANKSGIV-
ING DINNER IDEAS

“ 00D morning, Myra! Come

right in! Sit down in that rock—

er. You won’t mind if I keep
on ironing these curtains, will you?
You see, it’s only a. couple more
weeks ’til Thanksgiving, and Larry
and his new wife and Mildred and
her beau are going to be here, and I
want everything to be spic and span.

“Have I planned my dinner? Well,
I should say! Ever since I knew
they were goin' to come, I haven’t
been doin’ anything but lookin’
through all my cook books and mag-
azines tryin’ to ﬁnd new and tasty
ways to serve the old Thanksgiving
standbys, and I’ve hit on a few that
I think’ll be good. Want to hear
about ’em?

“Well, of course, the table will
have to be stretched to the very
limit, and I thought I’d lay long
strips of orange crepe paper cross-
wise and lengthwise in a sort of
checkerboard pattern over my best
white cloth. Then I’m going to hol-
low out a big pumpkin and full it
full of apples, oranges, and bananas,
and so on for the center, and I’m
goin’ to put some candles in those
glass candle holders I got at the ten-
cent store this summer for both ends
of the table. Won’t that be pretty?
It sort of gives folks an appetite,
I’ve noticed, when the table looks
nice. '

“As for the dinner itself, you’d be
surprised how swell I’m aiming to
be. I’m even goin’ so far as to
serve canteloupe to begin with. Did
you ever notice that ordinary melons
cut in quarters look like little boats?
Well, they look more like it when
you stick spoons in the middle of
’em for masts and put the handles
through squares of white paper for
sales. I thought I’d go the limit and
write everyone’s name on the sail
where they're supposed to sit. Land
0’ Love, I never sposed I’d be guilty
of usin' place cards! But it’ll give
the folks a treat. Then after we’re
done eatin"the melons, Ruth can

ner. And Pa’ll have to serve no mat-
ter how bad he hates it. However,
I think I’ll cut7up the turkey out in
the kitchen before bringin’ it on,
’cause if we waited till he got done
carvin’ it everything’d be cold and
we’d die of starvation. ‘

*‘I’ve got a gobbler out in the
barnyard that I’ve been fat-toning to
roast? this'l‘ong time. Instead qf
havin' just plain, dressin’ though, I
think I’ll put in a. few raisins and
nuts for variety. Mashed potatoes

1’ go better with turkey gravy than any

other kind, ,don’tyou think? . Yes,
and for. salad Ruth’s goin’ to stuff
some celery-stalks with cream cheese
moistened with a little, cream (1

 

: enimkled with; paprika,   

 

help me carry out the plates and,
bring in the main part of the din--

all?!“  ‘

 

cranberries, of course, but in place
of makin’ sauce of ’em, I thought I’d
make jelly this time. And I’m goin’
to mash the baked squash, ’cause if
I leave it in the shell it’ll be too
awkward. I want to get a’hold of
some sweet cider somewhere to serve
with the meal in those tall glasses
you gave me last Christmas, and no—
body’s going to get any coffee ’til
after Ruth and I takeaway the din-
ner plates and bring in the pumpkin
pie and cheese. - '
“And, right at the very end, Ruth
wants to serve mints and- nuts, even

if they aren’t any more than these '

big Jumbo peanuts, so I guess, if
we can get some mints at the drug-
store next time we’re in town, we’ll
do that, too—Adele M. DeGraw.

Table Service.—Menu making. There
are certain outstanding principles of food
combination that should be considered in
meal planning. Food has three obliga-
tions to meet—ﬁrst, it must satisfy the
bodily needs; second, it must appeal to
the taste; third it must attract the eye.
The first requisite is the most important
one but the second and the third requisites
often determine to a. very large. degree
whether or not the ﬁrst requisite is met.
The following are a. few points to be con-
sidered in determining which foods should
be combined in the menu: Two foods of
the same composition should not be used
in the same meal.’ Example, two starchy
foods as potato and macaroni or two pro-
tein foods "as beef and cheese. It is better
not to repeat a ﬂavor in- the same meal,
as tomato soup served at the beginning
of the meal and then tomato sauce served
with the meat. Highly seasoned food

should be used cautiously as they tend to v
. encourage over. eating. .

Use pickles and
relishes in moderation, serving only one
kind at the same meal» Balance the main
part of themeal and the dessert. ' When
the main part of the meal is hea.vy,_use
a, light dessert "as fruit; or if the main

part of the ,meal is. light. balance it with '
a heavy dessert as a, steamed pudding. -

“the most satisfactory. When several dishes
are served at one meal it, is more difﬁcult
to obtain a variety over a. month of meals.
If the meals are planned for three days
ahead, it is easier to obtain the needed
.variety and to serve the foods which are
most essential to health.“ ' '

SILVER THREADS: AMONG THE GOLD

Darling, I amj’growing old,
Silver threads among the gold
Shine upon 'my brow today.
Life is fading fast away.

But, my darling, you will be
Always young and fair, to me, '
Yes, mydarling, you will be
Always young and fair to me.

Chorus:

Darling, I am growing old,
Silveruthreads among the gold.
Shine upon my brow,today. >-
Life is fading fast away.

When your .hair is silver white
And your cheeks no longer bright,
With the roses of the May,

I will kiss your lips and say

Oh, my darling,.mine alone, alone,
You have never older grown“

Yes, my darling, mine alone,

You have never older grown.

Love can never more grow old,

Locks may lose their brown and gold,
Cheeks may pale and hollow grow,

But the hearts that love will know
Never, never winter’s frost and chill,
Summer warmth is in them still,

Never, never winter’s ’frost and chill,
Summer warmth is in them still. .

Love is alw’ays young rind fair;
What to us is silver air,

Faded cheeks or step grown slow
To the hearts that beat below?
Since I kissed you, mine alone.
You have never older grown.

Since I kissed you, mine alone,
You have never older grown.

School yards. 1 . ~ ' .

Personally. .I  there is no
season like the fall of the year when
it [comes to downright fun. In the
ﬁrst place. it’s not too hot-end not
tease“. and In the second place
there’s something in the ail-ye. brisk
sort of something, that makes you
wont to “do.” than. . I think. it
makes you 1te especially that way.
When you look around and see how
much Mother Nature has dens.» sl-
‘though she doesn’t some: to be very
busy at all. Look how lavishly she’s
painted all the leaves: Where do
you suppose she got all those lovely
colors? She must have an awfully
big paint box. And think how hard
she's Worked getting everything ripe
and ready to put in thé cellar tor
this winter's use! No wonder they
say that nature's grand!

Come on, boys and girls, let’s you
and I take a tramp through the
woods together on this lovely red-
and—gold day. What woods? 0h,
any that's big enough and. where
there's a chance 01 ﬁnding some
nuts. Maybe we’ll get‘somo beech
nuts, do you suppose? Isn't it ltun
to sent your feet through the leaves
and make as much noise as you can?
Say, I’ll race you down to that hol—
low! Of course, I knew you'd beat
one—my legs are longer but your’s
are younger. Look at those wild
grapes! They look better than they
taste, don’t they? Let’s ﬁll our hats
full, though, and Mother can make
them into jelly.

Have you found any nuts yet?
Wow, my stomach says it’s pretty
near supper time! This air certain-
ly makes you feel like eating. Don’t
you suppose we’d better be getting
back?

Well, good-bye, gang} I've surely
enjoyed my afternoon. Let’s go
again sometime.-—UNCLE NED.

than one teacher for me. Ha-Ha! They
are certainly wonderful though. Nicest
teachers I’ve hod In a. long time. We have
taken the M. B. F. tor nearly a. your and
like it real well. Every time a. paper
comes in the bomb I get it and hunt up
the Children’s Hour ﬁrst. I have lntmded
to write before but it Just didn’t seem as
though I could ever get at it,

May I join your many circle? Do We
have to send a. self addressed envelope
for a pin and card! I think 1 have en-
joyed the Ghﬂdren'l Hour as much as
any of the readers but you would never

creatures.

First there was a grand march for the
judging of the costumes.‘ There was a.
tall girl dressed like a little girl about
two years old, with half sock, eunbonnet
and a. lollypop in her mouth. So, she got
a prize. for being the most comical. which
was a toy skeleton. Another. girl was I.
Beau Brummel 0:! 1900. and she got the
prize for beinrthe most unique. when
there were all sorts of games and con-
tests, such as bobbing for apples and I.“
other things. that one must do on Hallow-
e’en. Then We starting dancing which
took up the greater part of the evening.

Retreshments were served in baskets
which were apples and lollypopl. The
party was a. huge success and I think the
girls who assisted may well be proud 0! it.

In other words, out of every 100 bushels of whole corn

MOUSE ENTERS HORE’S NOSTRIL
 AM sending you some unusual
news._ A few days,ag0 my son,

, Otto, hitched up our team and-as
he took the horses from the barn We

. noticed one of them kept shaking its

head. Also its nose seemed to be
bleeding slightly. As the horse al-
ways shook- his head some we did
not pay ‘very much attention, but he

   
 
 
   
   

 

The horse on the left is the one that
had a mouse up its nostril.‘ The young
folks are Otto. Laura. and Freida Buck-

hage, of Bay county.

kept shaking it harder and harder
until about 11 o’clock he began to
blow his nose real hard. Finally
Otto and one of my daughters, Lau-
ra, walked around in front of the
team to watch this horse, and just
then he blew it extra hard blowing
out a large clot of blood followed by
a mouse. As the mouse fell to the
ground Otto killed it. After that the
horse stopped blowing his nose and
there was no more blood that came
from it.——Carl Burckhage, Bay GO.

TO HAVE “BETTER BULLS”
CAMPAIGN
NEW way of calling the atten-
tion of dairymen to the need for
better herd sires is to be tried
out in Macomb and St. Clair coun-
ties. Extension forces in these coun—
ties, headed by the agricultural
agents, with the cooperation of dairy
specialists from the Michigan State
College will stage a series of “barn—
yard meets” during the week of No-
vember 14th. Schedule of these
gatherings will be published locally.
At each meet the subject will be
“Selection of a Herd Sire.”
Following the campaign a few
good bulls approved by the extension
specialists will be offered at public
auction. The Armada Fair Grounds,
in Macomb county, just south of the
St. Clair county line, has-been se-
cured for the sale place. The date
set is Tuesday, November 22nd. Bulls
of the major breeds will be offered.
—J. G. Hayes.

 

ONE PROVEN SIRE OUT OF 25
ACTIVE
NFORMATION returned by the

Bureau of Dairying, Washington,
0., indicates that only one
proven sire out of twenty-ﬁve is ac-
tively in service in Michigan dairy
herds. Further information from
this same source states that “there
are 468 sires which has ﬁve or more
daughters that have “records which
exceed those made by the dams.
These 468 bulls have from one to
four daughters which have been com-
pared with the dams but have not
the required number to be listed as
proven bulls.-——A. C. 'B.

 

VALUE OF PASTURE

HE value of pasture varies great-

ly in diﬁerent localities depend-

ing upon whether there is a
shortage or plenty of it to be had.
The average price runs near ﬁve
cents per head per week for sheep
and thirty—ﬁve cents per head per
week for beef cattle. This, of course
will ,‘fvary somewhat depending upon
the number of lambs in proportion
to. old sheep.

. "MOULTING I

I have a nice ﬂock of White Rock
.hens and, pullets and many of them
moulted in August. Is that a good
sign of winter layers or not? I have
some cockerels that moulted during
that month also.—J. 8., Battle
Creek, Mich.

IRDS moulting in August are
usually considered early moult-
ers and are not as desirable
from a. production standpoint as
birds moulting in October and’No-
vember. An early moult may be
caused by a change in feeding prac‘
tice, improper management or be-
cause of poor production—C. G.
Card, Professor of Poultry Hus-
bandry, M. S. C. . _
STRAW LOFTS HELP KEEP
CHICKENS WARM

STRAW loft in the poultry
house is a great aid in .keeping

, the chickens warm in winter.
This feature is especially desirable
in the high poultry house, for it re-
duces the room above the heads of.
the birds that they must try to heat.
In the gable-roof house, boards
may be placed across the plates and

from eighteen inches to two feet
deep. In the shed-roof house the
straw loft may be made in two dif-
ferent ways. If the poultry house is
six feet to the rear plates, there is
too much head room in the house.
The straw loft is made level with the
rear plates. Corn stalks or hay
may be used in place of straw if the
straw is not on hand.

The straw loft may be left in from
one season to the next. It acts as an
insulating material and makes the
building material warmer in winter
and cooler in summer.

GROWING PEPPERMINT
(Continued from Page 4)

and moisture contained in the leaves
to the top of the tank and out,
through another pipe into a set of.
coiled pipes over which cold water
is dripping. This cools the mint—
moisture laden steam and by the
time it reaches the mouth of the coil
of pipe it is a liquid. This runs into
a receptacle, and the water being
heavier settles to the bottom leav-
ing the oil on top. This is drawn OE
and run into cans and is ready for
sale to the dealer. This oil is again
reﬁned before being put on the mar-
ket. The mint straw is dried out
and placed in the barn or in stack
and used for feed during the winter
months.

The average yield of mint oil in
Michigan is less than ﬁfteen pounds,
but thirty pounds is a common yield
from a new bed of mint. Some have
obtained a yield above ﬁfty pounds
on the most productive mint soil.
With care a mint bed may be re-
tained for three or four years with
proﬁt, but the yield the second and
third years gets gradually less. It
has been estimated that about ten—
thousand acres of mint is grown in
Michigan. Indiana exceeds Michi-
gan in amount produced annually,
but the Michigan oil is thought by
some to be of a superior grade. The
price has been rather high the past
three years and the acreage is much
larger now than it was ﬁve years
ago, and in all likelihood the price
will continue downward rather than
upward. Mint oil, unlike potatoes,
beans, and most other farm crops,
can be set away and held for many,
years without a loss in quantity or
quality. '- \ l

Here’s a New Way to Get Eggs in Winter.
Costs Nothing to Try

A letter from Miss Dama .Wright,
Veroma, 0re., has a real idea for
chicken ralsers who are not getting
plenty of eggs. She says:

“Late in October, our 15 hens were not
laying at all. I started giving them Don
Sung, and for ten days they still didn’t
lay. But on the eleventh day they laid 13
eggs, and it is wonderful what Don Sung
has done for our egg basket.” . ' ‘

Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tab-
lets which Miss Wright used' are opening
the eyes of chicken raisers all over Ameri-
ca. The tablets can be obtained from the
Burrell-Dugger Co., 255 Postal Station
B1dg., Indianapolis, Ind. Poult raisers
whose hens are not laying wel should
send 50 cents for a trial package (or $1
for the extra large size, holding three
times as much). Don Sung is positively
guaranteed to do the work or money
promptly refunded, so it costs nothing to
try. Right now is the time to start giv-
ing Don Sung to your hens, so you will
have a good supply of fresh eggs all;
w1nter.—(Adv.)

GRAFTING

I have a pear tree about ﬁfteen to
twenty years old but its fruit does
not amount to anything. I would
like to know if it could be grafted
with the Bartlett pear? If so shall

' ‘ I prune it? How
many on e a c h
limb?

Have an apple
orchard , of ﬁve
kinds of apples.
The trees are
about t w e l v e
years old. Would
it be advisable to
SOW to alfalfa
. (this . land is
 mostly h e a v y)
' -.  and . take the
 ﬁrst cutting and

Herbert Natziger ‘ let the S e c 0 n d

' ‘ cutting go back?
Would it help the trees or hurt
them? ,,

Have about ﬁfty Wealthies in the
orchard. Would it .be advisable to
graft these trees to some more mar-
ketable kind or not?—-—F. M., Custer,
Michigan. .

F your pear tree is an undesirable
I variety then it will undoubtedly
pay to graft it. Graft the more
important branches. Two scions to
a branch. Graft about half of the
tree one year-and the other half next
year. Do not be in a hurry to cut off
the old branches below the grafts.
These are. needed to bring up the
sap and keep the tree in condition,
but as the scions grow larger and
make a new top the old branches
can gradually be removed.

If your apple trees are extremely
far apart and do not occupy the
ground fully enough to utilize the
ground, \then your alfalfa treatment
will be 0. K. Otherwise it is not
good policy to make hay in a bearing
apple orchards .

'If you ﬁnd that over alterm 0
years the W'ealthies have been un—
proﬁtable under your conditions, and
that other varities‘have been proﬁt-
able, then by all means graft the
Wealthies now while they are young.

Roup Epidemic
Killing Poultry

Birds sneeze, wheeze and choke. Throat
rattles. Nose runs. Spreads rapidly.
Act at once!

 

Readers who ﬁnd colds or roup
starting in their ﬂocks will be inter-
ested in a letter written by Thomas
Pulliam, Shiveley, Ky. He says:

"I have had birds with their eyes closed
and every form of roup, and saved every
one of them. Last winter I had a Barred
Rock oockerel- that was nearly dead. He
had dropped from 71,43 to 2% pounds. I
gave him
magic. In two weeks, he was back on the
ﬁring line and ﬁghting every rooster on
the place. I can’t understand why people
let their birds die with roup, when Roup-
Over will save them." i

It is amazing how quickly and easily
colds and roup can be ended by this meth-
od. It the trouble is already started, a
few drops of Roup-Over, applied -to the
nostrils, will usually banish every symp-
tom in one day. Better still, a few drops
used in the drinking water guards the
whole ﬂock against roup, colds, and other
epidemics. A liberal supply of Roup-Over
can be obtained by sending ﬁfty cents (or
$1 for large size holding 3 times as much)
to The Burrell-Dugger Co., 543 Postal
Station Bldg, Indianapolis, Ind. As Roup-
Over is guaranteed to do the work or
money refunded, it costs nothing to try

Readers will ﬁnd it entirely different and

er in action
than anything else ever
tried for roup and sim-
llar infections.

Fine Fall Weather Causes Corn Crop To Exceed Early Expectations
By. w'. w. mammal-am. 

VERAGE proﬁtslof middle west-
ernfarmers this year are turn-

ing out better than wast: ﬁrst I

expected. and far western farmers
will set down 1927 as a highly pros-'
perous year, with a large crop of
corn and unexpectably high prices
for cattle on farm and range, while
both in the middle and far west the
sheep industry ﬂourished despite the
prevailing tendency, of overloading
the markets and thereby allowing
the packers to hold prices down too,
frequently. Hogs unlike cattle, had
a great many ups and downs, and
while on the whole stockmen made
the industry pay, many at times of
declining prices dumped their pigs
on the market. As for the future of
cattle, hogs and sheep, it may be
said that popular sentiment favors
carrying normal numbers the coming
winter, there being quite a shortage.
but it should be remembered that if
beef or other meats sell extremely
high, their consumption is checked.
The farmers have grown large crops
of grain, with an especially ﬁne
crop of wheat, while the corn harvest
is going to greatly exceed early ex-
pectations, due to plenty of warm
weather late in the season when most
essential for ripening. The unpleas-
ant feature to grain farmers is, of
course, the great fall in prices for
grains from the summer peaks, and
farmers can hardly fail to see the
need of converting corn into beef,
pork, lard and mutton to obtain fair
proﬁts. Within a short time the
several grains have sold at the low-
est point since July, 1924. It is im-
possible to forecast at this time the
future, but large marketing of grain
tends to put prices lower. This is
a good year for gardens, and farm-
ers are largely feeding their fami-
lies with vegetables, fruits and ber-
ries of their oWn growing.

The Grain Markets

Farmers of this country appear
to have raised almost too much
wheat and other grains this year,
and as foreign countries report good
crops of wheat, our exports of wheat
and ﬂour may not be sufﬁcient to
absorb our surplus supply. It seems
to be clear that the best policy is to
curtail the future wheat acreage
moderately, but» we are unable to
forecast the future, and the best
policy is to divide up the land be-
tween wheat and other farm crops.
Late prices show a great decline in
prices for wheat since the high time
in the summer. and all the grains
have sold at the lowast prices of the
season, owing to large selling by
holders. A short time ago Decem-
ber wheat sold at $1.23, against
$1.43 a year ago. while December
corn sold at 83 cents, only a few
cents higher than last year. Decem-
ber oats at 47 cents stood slightly
higher than a year ago, and De-
cember rye at 98 cents was a triﬂe
lower. Favorable weather has help-
ed ﬁeld work in the corn belt, and
cutting and hacking are going on.
A short time ago Chicago received
the ﬁrst car of new corn shipped
from Oklahoma.

The Room in Cattle

The late‘ boom landed prime beef
steers at $17.75, the highest price
paid in the Chicago stock yards since
1920. All kinds of cattle are unus-
ually high, with a market shortage
in feeding districts, but the range of
prices has been narrowing, with late
sales of ordinary and medium kinds
at lower values. Butcher and can-
ner cattle have gone oﬂ sharply, but
all kinds of cattle remain far higher
than in other years. Steers have
been selling at $9.75 to $17.75. very
largely at $11.50 to $16.25, with the
best yearlings at $17.50. Steers
sold a week earlier at $9.50 to
$17.35, a year ago, at $7.25 to
$12.40 and two years ago at $6.50
to $16. Stockers and feeders are in
active demand at $6 to $11.50, the
_ call being chieﬂy for well bred-lots

asked  “

seven western packing 1 against

Hogs Marketed Freely

Farmers have been marketing
their hogs in a reckless way, evi-
dently having little faith in the fu-
ture, and prices have suffered so»
verely,. late sales in Chicago taking
place. at a' range of“ $7135" to
$10.23, comparing «with $9 to 311.75
a week earlier; $10 to $13.50 a
year ago and $8.85 to $11.30 two
years. ago. For the year to late date
the receipts in seven western packing
pomts aggregate 18,514,000 hogs,
comparing with 18,204,000 a year
ago; 20,027,000 two years ago and
25,540,000 four years ago, sums of
great abundance. Heavy hogs sell
much the highest, the best light go-
ing at $9.75.

 

A omen AT THE MARKETS

(Market News Service, U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics.)

RUIT and vegetable shipments
have passed the crest for the
year. with market dull and few

price changes during the past week.
The wheat market'was sharply low-

cents "above a year ago. Light re-
ceipts add to the ﬁrmness of the
markets. ' '

. Declines of 5 to 15 cents per 100
pounds occurred at various potato
shipping pointslast’ week. Terminal
markets were unsettled. Chicago and
Kansas City priCes were decidedly
lower. Digging is about completed
in Idaho and other northern states.
The Michigan crop is turning cut
lighter than in any of the last ten

years.
Eggs and Poultry

Egg markets are steady to ﬁrm,
with storage holdings being reduced
rapidly. There has been some in-
crease in production, as indicated
by heavier receipts at the larger
markets. Dressed _ poultry receipts
are fairly heavy, but about the same
as in 1926. A recent survey indi-
cates a turkey crop about 5 per cent
below a year ago, with the general
condition of birds reported as fair to
good.

Hay

There was a slight ﬁrmness in the
hay markets, and prices made a frac-
tional advance at many markets eaSt
of the Rockies. Rain had restricted
country offerings and with farmers
busy with fall work, dealers expect-
ed a rather light movement in the
immediate future. Good pastures,

 

 

MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO DAILY
HE Michigan Business Farmer was ﬁrst to broadcast farm market
reports in Michigan (January 4, 1926). Market reports and farm
news are now available as follows: WGHP (819.3 meters), 3:05

er, and corn prices also weakened.
Butter markets were somewhat un-
settled, but cheese prices were well
maintained, and egg markets steady
to ﬁrm. Dressed poultry «prices are
a little below those of a year ago.
Spectacular advances were reported
in fed cattle values, and sharp de-
clines in the hog market. The Bos-
ton wool market showed a stronger
tendency.
Butter and Cheese

Butter markets have been a. little
nervous and unsettled. Prices have
ﬂuctuated in both directions, al-
though the net result has been no
material change. Fresh receipts
were light, and this turned away
buyers to storage goods. Cheese
prices at the Wisconsin 'cheese mar-
kets have shown little change during
the last week or two, but are several

however, are restricting demand'in
many areas.
Wheat

The wheat market tended sharply
downward, inﬂuenced principally by
large receipts of spring wheat in the
Canadian markets, and a continued
heavy movement in the American
Northwest. Generally“ favorable
weather in the 'United States and
canada brought out heavy shipments
of spring wheat, receipts at Canadian
points being much the largest for
the season.

Other Grains

Weather favorable for maturing
the late corn crop brought out larger
receipts of old crop corn. Prices
weakened. Oats declined inﬂuenced
by the weakness in corn, but rye and
barley were independently ﬁrm with

knowing that food production and transportation are the two
fundamental industries of the nation.

Even good cooks 

have v' little mishaps -

ONE of those telephone conversations that. last forever—While
the cinnamon rolls that should have been in the oven ten

minutes before are still rising,‘rising,'rising . . . .

This might have meant a baking failure; 1 ﬁber ﬂour had been of
the sort that must be timed with a stop-watch,-her rolls might have
been rather sad+lacking in ﬂavor, coarse in texture.

But not with Pillsbury’s Best Flour. Here is a ﬂour milled to a
higher quality than is required by the ideal conditions of a labora-»
tory test kitchen. , It is milled togmeet the demands of the everyday
home kitchen, Where minor accidents willf happen to the best of
cooks. It is a ﬂour of generous quality—triﬂing aCCidents, such as
might upset a ﬂour less perfectly- milled, ?have no eﬁect on the
things you bake with Pillsbury’s Best. ' ’

Pillsbury’s Best Flourlis tested every hour as it is milled. It is made
from wheat bought by men who ransack'the country for just the
proper grade. It will [bake anything you want—good bread and
biscuits, or deliCious pastry—with absolute'certainty. And it will
rise to an emergency because it has more strength and a higher
quality than you usually need. I '
