l    Mayville Pdtato Show , Is Declared Big Success

‘ L There,Were 175 Entries Compared with Less Than 100 One Year Ago

HE Third Annual Thumb of Mich-

igan Potato Show, which was

’held at Mayville, November 8,

9 and 10 created considerable inter-

..est both to the growers that exhibit-

ed potatoes, and the growers that
attended. , .

Producers in Huron, Sanilac, Tus-
co‘la, Bay, Saginaw, Genesee, Lapeer
and St. Clair contributed to thesuc-
cess of the show. The entries were
limited to the above named counties
with the—exception of the certiﬁed
seed class, which was open to any
certiﬁed seed potato grower of the

' State. _

The quality of the show will com-
pare with other shows in the State.
Interest was shown by the Thumb
potato growers as indicated by the
fact that there were 175 entries as
compared to a few under 100 last
year. The exhibits were of good
quality due to the unusual care in
selection and the dry Weather dur—

. ing the summer which kept down the
' size, thus increasing the quality.
Educational Features

Michigan State College contributed
to the show by having exhibits that
1 demonstrated the diﬂerence between
. good and poor seed, also the use of
i the proper and right amounts of fer-
: tilizer. The State Department, of
i Agriculture exhibit featul'ed the
._proper grading of potatoes which
a will be a great help to the farmer.
2 Knowledged learned from the ex-
! hibit no doubt will aid in assuring
1’ the potatoes from the Thumb sec-
? tion to comply with the standard
3 grades of potatoes.

Tuesday afternoon started the po-
1 tato show program. The program
: included some interesting talks by
g extension specialists from the Col-
? lege, and a representative from the
9, State Department of Agriculture.
.‘ Facts were brought out to aid the
I grower in proper culture practices,
' such as planting of better seed, ap-
i plying 'commercial fertilizer and
f other ways to improvethe quality
' of the potato.

Speakers at Banquet

Commissioner Powell of the State
f Department of Agriculture made
' Several remarks at a banquet Wed—
nesday noon. At the conclusion of
.his talk Mr.
' secretary of the potato show with
: a check to help defray the expenses
' of the show.

Mr. A. C. Carton, director of the
; Bureau of Agricultural Industry,
: State Department of Agriculture.

. : HERE’S. HOW

Powell presented the ,

By ERNEST J. WHEELER

Extension Specialist in Farm Crops, Michigan State College

gave an address pointing \Out the

. beneﬁts that would come by moving

the ocean 2,000 miles inland. Mr.
Carton was in’ faVor of the deep

' waterway. His arguments were that

lower shipping rates would lower
shipping costs thus opening the mid-
dle west to the world markets. Also
the waterway would greatly assist
Michigan in her already developing
industrial and agricultural pursuits.

H. G. Moore, potato specialist,
Michigan State College, and chief of
potato inspection, also president of
the National Potato Association of
America, in his address, “The Potato
Situation” gave reasons why the
Thumb of Michigan is rapidly becom-
ing a. potato producing section.
Wayne and Oakland counties have
been large potato producing coun—
ties but owing to the rapidity of the
sub-dividing of the land in these
counties the potato section is being

'moved out into the Thumb of Mich-

igan. The soil and climate is fa.-

.vorable for potatoes, also the market

is at the door, were the reasons
given for the growing interest in
potato production in the Thumb dis-
trict.

Wednesday evening a reel of ﬁlm

was shown on “The How and Why
of Spuds” to a. good number of
farmers. Many growers remained
for discussions led by Mr. McCrary,
potato specialist, and Mr. Sims, soils
specialist of Michigan State College.
Many problems were discussed that
pertained to growing of better. pota-
toes in the Thumb section.

Prize “'inm-z‘s

Honors of the show were shared
by M. C. Mount, of Mayville, who
won the sweepstakes on late pota-
toes with his exhibit of Russet Rural
certiﬁed seed potatoes, and John
Lynch of Mayville who captured
sweepstakes on early potatoes with
his exhibit of Triumphs which were
grown from seed obtained from
Montana.

Dates For Potato Train Are Announced

OMPETITION in potato market-
ing is attracting more attention
every year. In order to meet
competition those districts that
are producing considerable quanti-
ties of potatoes are trying to im-
prove the quality of their product
by the introduction of potato shows.

In keeping with this program to
make Michigan potatoes the best on
any market, the New York Central
Lines have planned to operate the
potato show train in cooperation
with the Michigan State College,

has been guaranteed fer the ten
counties through which the train will

i had and with it go memories
thegreatest show ever held. Four
thousand farmers from the eight
northernmost counties of Michigan
Wars in Gaylord on November 2, 3
.and 4 to take part in the numerous

pactivities of the ﬁfth annual show.

The show room was crowded to
capacity with over three hundred and
“ﬁfty of the best exhibits of potatoes
“and apples in Northern Michigan.

The number of apple exhibits
"greatly, exceeded any previous year.
*This was due to the large exhibits of
' the: Eveline Orchards of East Jor—
den, and the Orchard Beach Farm of
,_-Cheboygan, who exhibited for the
ﬁrst time this year. ’
When‘the show ﬁrst began back in
1922 only potatoes were exhibited,
v but, in 1925 apples were added to the
_premium’list and it has continued to
grow along with the potatoes.

Over $1600 was paid to exhibitors
and contest winners. This is the
largest amount ever paid out at a
Top 0’ Michigan Potato and Apple
Show.

M. B. F. Oﬂ’ors Cup

-. Competition was keen in most
every class. In the peck exhibit of
'Russet Rurals there were over
seventy-ﬁve entries, and John Allis,
last year’s sweepstakes winner, was
.on hand early to repeat, but, as in
all previous years, a new man was
'heralded as the potato king. This
year J. Fred Brudy, of Wolverine, a
yearly Qchibitor and ex-president of
the show carried off ﬁrst honors.
This gives Mr. Brudy the advantage
toward the silver loving cup awarded
.by THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS FARMER
for anyone winning ﬁrst in this class
twice in succession.
‘ In the apple exhibits, H. G. War-
j‘ng, of Kewadin, proved his superior—
ity by taking sweepstakes in all class—
f'es» ,even though his brother—in-law,
 C. W. Oatley, also of Kewadin, Won
more \ﬁrst than he did.

Annual Banquet

On Wednesday night, Dr. E. L.
Nixon,
College, told the one hundred ﬁfty
farmers attending the certiﬁed seed
growers banquet that four things
made high yields in ,Pennsylvania.
These he said are “Michigan's certi—
ﬁed seed potatoes, proper spraying,

humus in the soil, and a vision of the

future.”

Dr. Nixon again appeared on the»

annual banquet program with Dean
R. S. Shaw, of the Michigan State
College, and Honorable Herbert E.
'Powell, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture.

Dean Sha‘w stressed‘the impor-
tance of farmers studying agencies
interrelated to agriculture, such as
commerce, industry, and transporta-
tion. “Railroads and immigration
have been the two major inﬂuences
in the development of agriculture,”
he said, “and we should be consider-
ate of these inﬂuences.” -

Commissioner Powell praised the
farmers for the cooperation given in
the marketing of standard grades 0
potatoes. '

On Friday the Boys’ and Girls’
Clubs were guests of the Association
at a luncheon where awards Were
made to the winners.

HOW SUBSCRIBER MADE BUN DOWN FARM PAY OUT
Charles M. Burkett, of St. Joseph county, bought a farm that was so badly run down

that it was a failure.

He saw he couldn’t make a go of it on farming alone so he

started a roadside stand, using the sideboards to his hay rack for a. counter and a

couple of tubs for an icebox.

-Living along M-13 there were quite a. few customers

every day and at the end of the ﬁrst week he found they had made several dollars.
Business continued good and he saved so by the end of that year, 1925, he was able to

build the place shown in the picture.

In 1926 a $2,000 building was added making it

a barbecue and soft drink stand, dance hall, tourist camp, playgrounds and roads 0

stand combined.

He calls his place the Midway and believes the idea a good one for

any farmer who lives along a main highway on a poor farm to try out.

'WITHIN QUABANTINED AREA

I am writing to inquire if the
government regulations in regard to
the corn borer have been placed on
Clinton caunty; I understand that it
has been quarantined. The inspec-
tor was here and said my corn was
0. K., not a sign of the borer. I
have a chance to sell both my corn
and my stalks, but I want to know
if it’s all right.—E. L. M., Pewamo,
Michigan.

LINTON county has been placed

‘ under the quarantine for corn

borer. State reports do not

show that Lebanon township is in—

fested, but the whole county *come
under this ruling.

However, you have a perfect right
to sell your corn and the stalks to
anyone in (‘Fn‘on county or in any
other county included in the quaran-
tine, but you cannot transport your
corn to Ionia or any other county
outside of the quarantine.

We hope that this will not incon—
venience you or prevent the sale of
your corn—Editor.

TO DIVIDE COST OF FERTILIZER

I have let my farm out on shares.
I have half and the renter has half
and each pays for half of the seed,
threshing, etc. Now what is the rule
if we put fertilizer on, would the
renter have to pay for half of the
price of the fertilizer or would the
owner have to pay for it all?—L. C.
R, Jackson, Mich.

AM quoting from circular bulletin
I number 102 of the Michi an Ex-

periment Station, the to lowing
paragraphs which were prepared by
the soil section of this College. 0n
the basis of the recommendations in
these paragraphs, each party should
pay his share of the fertilizer ex-
pense.

“In case readily available fertil-
izer other than nitrogen is applied at
the rate of from 160 to 250 pounds
per acre, the tenant shall be recom-
pensed at the rate of 40 per cent of
his share of the purchase price after
the ﬁrst crop year, 20 per cent after
the second crop year and 10 per cent
after the third crop year. In case
larger applications are used, recom-
pense should be made at the rate of
50 per cent, 25 per cent and 15 per
per cent, or more, of his share of
the purchase price after the ﬁrst,
second, and third crop year respect-
ively.

“Mixed fertilizers containing nitro-
gen in addition to other plant food
element shall have 89.00 per ton de-
ducted from the purchase price for
each two units of ammonia. Recom-
pense for the remaining plant food
shall be based on the remainder of
the purchase price at the rates spec-
iﬁed in the preceding paragraph.

"If a nitrogen fertilizer alone, such
as sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of
soda is used no recompense shall be
given after the ﬁrst crop year."

This is a method of recompensing
tenant in case he does not continue to
rent the land—F. T. Riddell, Re-
search Assistant, M. S. C.

I would like to know which kind
of millet is best for hay and its feed—
ing value for milk cows. I have
heard that millet hay drys milk cows.
Is this true? Which kind of soy-
beans are best for hay?—L. P., Eato
Rapids, Mich. ’

HE Golden variety of millet is
considered the best for upland
soils while the.Hungarian is to

be preferred on muck land.

It is not advisable to feed millet
hay as a sole roughage. Better re-,
sults are secured when it is fed along
with some other hay such as clover,
mixed hay, or alfalfa. .

Soybean hay has much the same
feeding value as alfalfa hay and is
much to be preferred to millet. The

SEVERAL QUESTIONS

Can ﬁshermen pass through your
ﬁelds to ﬁsh on a small river without
permission from owner? Can a bus-
band divorce his wife when she is
willing to live with him any place
he provides a home? Can the hus-
band force by law his wife to give
back property he has given her?
Can any court in the U. S. A. give a
husband a divorce from his wife if
she is willing to live with him and he
fails and refuses to provide a home
for his wife? When a divorce case
is pending has the husband or wife
any more right to keep company
with another man or women than if
they were living together‘i—B. V..
Barryton, Mich.

ISHERMAN could not travel

through ﬁelds to the stream

without permission of the owner.
A husband could not obtain a divorce
from his wife who is willing‘to live
with him, unless her conduct is such
as to give him grounds for a divorce.
A husband could not force his wife
to return property he has given her
as a gift. Neither a husband nor a
wife would have any more right to
keep company with another man or
woman of the opposite sex while di-
vorce is pending than they would
have while living together.~—-Legal

Can you tell us approximately

HE amount will vary with the di-
ameter of the logs and also
with the size of the sticks into
which they are out. For average

probably run about 6 cords of 16-.

SECURING PATENT

There is a certain milk strainer on
the market and I feel I can improve
it. Now what must I do to secure a
patent, to whom apply, etc? Do I
have to see the company that puts
them out before I can get a patent?
J. F. H., Galien, Mich.

PPLICATION for a patent on

your invention should be made

to the U. S. Patent Ofﬁce, at
Washington, D. C. You would not
have to see the company making the
strainer, if your invention is an im’—
provement or distinctly different
from the one they manufacture. You
would need the services of a patent
attorney in making application for
your patent.—Lega1 Editor.

’ FRUIT TREES BLOOMING:
IN OCTOBER

HE abnormally warm fall Weath-
er has caused some fruit trees
in Michigan to bloom late in

the fall, this year, and is causing
many others to enter the winter in

‘ a oondition‘which
will undoubtedly
render them very
subject to winter
injury. In many
orchards the pre-
carious condition
of‘ the trees has
been aggravated
by early defolia-
tion caused by
drouth, scab, and
aphis i n j u r y
.Two things that
we have to be

 

Herbert Nafziger-

that the trees
have, in most cases, not been further
weakened by a heavy; crop; and,
that the fall has not been a wet one
as well as a. hot one. Nevertheless
we believe it behooves the fruit
growers of Michigan to pray for a
mild winter.

HORTICUL’I‘URAL MARY

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How did your cover-crop grow?

Up to my knees, to protect my trees,

When bare orchards are knocked for
’a row. —H. Nafziger.

 

STARTING GRAPES

I want to start a new vineyard and
would like your advice on how to
do it. Will be very much obliged.—
Subscriber, Saginaw County.

HE proper way to propagate your
grapes would be by cuttings
early in the winter from canes

of the past season’s growth, with
about three buds to each cutting. Tie
the cuttings into small bundles with
all buds turned the same way, bury
the bundles in the ground, butts up,
and cover with about four inches of
soil. Early in the spring, take up
the bundles and line the cuttings out
in nursery rows, setting them]. deep
enough so that only the top bud is
above the ground. Keep the rows
thoroughly cultivated for one season,
after which the young plants can be
planted in the vineyard.

 

BLIGHT ON PEARS

I have a few pear trees that get
blight struck nearly every year about
July or August. Would spraying do
any good, and what would you use
for spraying? We. also have a large
sweet cherry tree that is full of blos-
soms every year and produces only
a few ripe cherries. I have ’ been
spraying every year.——L. W., Ster-
ling, Michigan.

EAR blight cannot be controlled
by spraying. Blight is usually
much worse in pear trees which

are making a fast growth. In your
home orchard it might be advisable
to leave the pear trees in sod and
do no pruning. Next spring it would
be a good thing to cut out all blight—
ed limbs and blight cankers. The
cankers are often found on large
limbs at the base of blighted twigs.
Cut out the cankers with a knife or
gouge them, out with a. chisel and
disinfect the wounds with a solution
of Lysol or some other good disin—
fectant. During the summer it will
be necessary to cut off blighted twigs
considerably below the blighted part
as soon as the disease appears.

Herbert W. Colling'wood
T is a beautiful evening and the
young people and their mother
are attending a rehearsal for an
Epworth League play in the nearby
village. It seems quiet here and a
glance at the date on my daily paper
tells me it time I got buy and wrote
something i o r
the next issue of
the M. B. F. ,

I have in mind
several things I
would like to
write about, but
somehow

to come exactly
clear—they seem
to get sort of
sidetracked, f o r
there is a very
sad thought up-
permost in my
m in (1 tonight.
Just yesterday I learned of the pass—
ing on of a friend—one I have known
for ﬁfteen years, and heard from ev-
ery week, yet never have seen per-
sonally. Here was a man possessing
the quality they call Sterling in sil-
ver. No man had higher purposes in
life, nor stood more steadfast for
what he believed was right. His dis-
position was genial, his sympathy
could not be measured—in fact em—
bodied all the Graces which Paul
mentioned in his apostle to the Cdr-
inthians: “Faith, Hope and Charity,
and the greatest of these is Charity."
So it was with my friend, but I
should say our friend, for if ever
farmers had a friend it was Herbert
W. Collingwood. With your permis-
sion I would like to tell just a little
of his life and work.

He was born on the coast of Mass—
achusetts a few years before the Civil
War. His father, as I remember he
told it, was killed in that conﬂict.
He was “bound out” and knocked
around more or less, yet succeeded in
getting a country school education.
As a you-11g boy he was personally ac-
quainted with Alexander Graham
Bell, when Bell was trying to make a
wire carry a message or a short line
between Boston and Cambridge. He
was an errand boy for one of our fa—
mous authors, and went out and
bought a bag of peanuts for a group
of these serious minded men when
they all chanced to be in his employ-
er’s ofﬁce. There were Longfellow,
Lowell, Emerson, Holmes, Whittier
and Aldrich present at the meeting.
He loved books and the men who
could write them. About this time.
however, there was a great exodus of
these New England men to the great
west, and we ﬁnd H. . 0'. working
as a cattle border in, Colorado. It
was while herding cattle one day that
he‘made a sad discovery. This same
discovery has been made by many
others, and I, myself, can all too
plainly remember when this discovery
came to rue—he found his hearing
was leaving him and, like the rest of
us, he put forth every effort to re-
gain it, all to no avail.

That winter he was out with his
horse after some cattle when one of
those awful blizzards dropped down
upon him, from a seemingly pleasant
sky. His horse stumbled in a prairie
dog hole and in the mixup got away
from him and ran away. The snow
was getting deep and darkness had
dropped down, seemingly in a minute.
Stumbling along the man was sur-
prised to ﬁnd himself up against a
sod but. He, and two other men were
given shelter and taken in for the
night. He had often heard of these
men. They were both well along in
years and from vastly different walks
of life, who had just chanced to meet
that night in that hut. One. was
known as the richest man in all the.
country about. He «said go and come
to more men than any one else.“ .He
was also known. for his lack of edu-
cation. The other one, a man of very
little Means but-possessing a line Eda

bl decided then and there to get an
education which he might enjoynin

his latter years if he never had a cent-

He had learned to love the great out
of doors, and farming appealed to
himstrongly. He wished to ﬁnd some
place of learning where among other
things he could study Agriculture.
Hearing of a college “up in Michi-
gan” the only college of it’s kind in
the United States which had just been
established a few, years before, and
whose aim was to teach the “art of
Agriculture," he passed through the
gates of the Michigan Agricultural
College as a student. A discourag-
ing prospect for a student to face——
very little money and hearing nearly
gone. But he had determination,
and a personality that won him many
friends, and by working vacations,
giving entertainments, etc., he suc-

ceeded in graduating from that insti- '

tution in the class of 1883. Realiz-
ing that money was his first need he
spent some time in the "North
Woods” where {he gained much
knowledge of human nature. He soon
found that his calling was to be an
editor and after a year or two on
other journals, he went to New York
where for the past forty—two years he
has been Editor and Manager of the
“Rural New Yorker." I became as-
quainted- with him‘ in the ﬁrst issue
of the paper I received,~ﬂfteen years
ago. You see he had a regular de-
partment of his own which he called
“Hope Farm Notes" and to read one
of these articles made one feel one
knew him, and that he was your
friend. However I have 'been fav-
ored with several‘ personal letters
from him. Many years ago he pur-
chased a farm in northern New
Jersey, where he could live and still
go back and forth to his office. It had
several orchards on it but he began
planting several others and one of his

greatest pleasures was to wander

about his farm among the orchards
and garden truck. Perhaps his great-
est pleasure was in doing something
for a child. Besides rearing a family
of his own, he and his good wife have
made a‘home for over a score of
children whom they have taken and
educated. I have often wondered how
he could spend so much time at home
at Hope Farm and yet be at his allies

so much. His paper being national in

scope, afforded him many opportuni-
ties to become acquainted with about

every business enterprise, and how he

did love to ferret out one whose

principles were not square. The

number of such concerns he has put

out of commission is more than one

would believe. His work was far

from ﬁnished and in his passing we,

as farmers, whether we have heard

of him or not, have lost a friend. He .
was the author of several books.

Quitarecently he issued what is per-

haps his masterpiece—at least the

mqst personal, for it was on the sub-

ject of hearing, and which he called

“Adventures in Silence." The read—

ing of this book and being able to ex-

actly understand his position and

purpose, has only added another tie

to my friendship for him, and in his

passing I feel lonesome.

 

STOP IJAWLFESNESS

EAR EDITOR: I am very much
pleased to see that you take so
much interest for those who

raise poultry. It is surely time'that
something should be done'to sto
lawlessness in more ways than one
by those who ought to know better.
If the Bible in our schools will help.
let’s have it. I think that parents

  too bad, for any living:

' game or song bird must eat to live,
same as the ~farmer himself no ‘mate
tel-where it comes from.- Our in-

- sect and worm-eatingsong and game

birds shOuld be fed in short pert--

ads when the vermin they live on are

' not available, and they should be
fed plentifully instead of wanting to
kill them off.

Not long ago the Canadian govern?

ment demonstrated that pheasants

are worm destroyers and are not of _ ‘

the. grain eating habit when worms
and bugs are to be had.

. Regarding the “tax single folks"

‘pclontemplating founding a home and

family to consider the situation and

circumstances ﬁrst, instead of ex-
pre‘cti’ng others to pay their family
burdens. For “One Who Wonders

Why,” this is “Why Not.”

LIKES MB. SLOCUM'S ARTICLES

EAR EDITOR: I have been a

subscriber to M. B. F. for many

years and hope our friendship
will continue for many years in the
future. I am always anxious to 're-
ceive my paper. I have read all of
the articles for many years but Mr.
Slocum’s articles on his trip through
Mexico especially appealed to me for
I have studied the Mexican problem
for years. I notice in one article
where he said he. might have been
hood‘Winked. President Calles and
his bunch are nothing more or less
than a bunch of tyrants. Jackson
prison contains liters that could be
called gentlemen and truthfully; so
too when compared to that gang of
wolves in sheep’s clothing, as the
good book says.

I would like to, see the day soon
iarrive when ,we will be receiving
{the M. B. F. weekly, as it doesn’t
{come often enough.——John Jourdan,
| Isabella County.

THREE-CENT GAS TAX

E EAR EDITOR: I have talked
‘ with farmers about the 30 gas

tax and this is what they invari—
‘ ably said: “It is a graft. We farm-

5_ers who run tractors and cars are hit
3 the hardest. We are 'just clear gain
g for the whole administration any-
f way. The farmer pays. We pay the
E assessments to help the rich people

lsail around in swell cars over ex—

, [ pensive roads. Somebody has to foot

the bill. This extra tax should be
lexempted with us farmers, but no,
j we have to come under it all as well
i as folks who can afford it and don't
I work for it as we do. We hope the
l

petitions will Win out, but don’t}

know yet.”
So there you are from these folks,
the gist 02 their tdeas summed up
I at least.

I have a little car and winter is"

coming. That means more‘ expenses
all around, and now the car included
in that extra, which we can ill afﬁord.
We use the car in our business and
it is not a luxurye—C. H., Sturgis,
Michigan.

} CONDEMNS PHEASANTS

EAR EDITOR: As I am a true

lover of wild life, there is noth-
I ing I can get more enjoyment
i out 0: than to sit in the woods and
I watch the birds and other wild
{ things. But what makes me sore, is
l

says “protect the game" and still

.t makes laws that protect the farm—

ers worst pest, the ring neck pheas—
[ ant. I have seen them kill fox squir—

I well as young turkeys and chickens.

Duncan nodded and added, “Yes, sir.”
when he saw the frown gathering.

“I’ll take her meals now, he added
ﬁrmly. "No dirty faced little runt can—-
here, ﬁx up a. good meal and let me have
it. Go tell her she’s got a treat coming."

Duncan obeyed him. He walked slow-
ly across the grass toward the cabin. It
was hidden by another from the cook
shack, where the men were gathered. As
soon as he passed out of their sight, it
occurred to him that a dash for the
woods might be possible. Yet after a sec-
ond he dimissed it as impossible. The
girl could not endure the long race on
foot.

She saw him coming and had the door
open. He thought she. *' guessed his
news, for her eyes wer ghtened. Yet
she only said:

“Is Horner back?”

He shook his head.

“He’s killed him." she breathed.

When Duncan asked what she meant,
the girl explained that she had seen Rom-
key follow Horner into the woods. Later
she had heard a faint shot. Romkey had
come back alone. She doubted if the men
knew he had left camp. She was fright—
ened. That man was bad; he might do
anything. They had thought they had' a
few days’ breathing spell before Locke
came back. Now—~

“In a minute,” Duncan
“Romkey will be here."

“No,” she moaned. “No—no!"

“To give you your dinner,” Duncan
went on coldly. “Keep that door locked.
Let him hand the food thru the window."

“If he wants to, he can break in,” she
said, as if weighing chances to herself. “If
I had a knife, now—"

“He will not break in,"

“She gave him a glance of alarm.
would only kill you,” she murmured.
not vex him. Save yourself.”

He could have slapped her face at that
moment with great joy. For a second he
glared at her; then he heard someone
moving behind the next cabin. He made
a. warning gesture.

“Quick!” he whispered.
at hand.”

He glided around the corner of the cab-
in. The slam of the door came to his
ears. The bar fell. .

Duncan put his hand inside his shirt
andpulled out the captain’s pistol. Its
butt lay nicely in his hand. He shook
more powder in the pan, held it ready,
and steadied his shoulder against the
cabin wall.

“Open the door!" ordered a. voice be-
yond, suddenly.

There was no answer.
made the door rattle.

“If it’s dinner, hand it in at the win-
dow, please,” came the girl's voice—very
thin, very high.

“Open that door !"

Silence.

"An axe will do it if you won’t, my pret-
ty.” It was Romkey’s voice again. “No?
Well, then."

There was a crash. The'girl screamed.
Duncan, gliding softly around the cor-
ner, came face to face with Romkey, red-
faced, sweating, an ax swung over his
shoulder in position for another swing at
the door. His grip relaxed for an in-
stant, his jaw dropped as he saw Duncan
and got the significance of the pistol
muzzle that was a. foot from his chest.

“What the devil !" he cried. He clenched
the handle again and swung his weight
into a blow that aimed for Duncan’s head.

The pistol spat ﬂame and lead at his
chest. He choked and staggered. The
ax, released, plowed into the dirt at Dun-
can’s side. Romkey turned half—way
around, fell against the side of the cabin
and slid slowly to the ground. His eyes
rolled at Duncan. He tried to speak. A
ﬁnal spasm shook him and he lay still.

Duncan stared at him—and at the pistol
from whose muzzle blue smoke still trail-
ed. Then he tossed the pistol down by
the body and turned away. He thrust his
face up to the window as he went past.

“Say nothing," he warned. “Don’t let
them know." > .

In a. second he was around the corner
of the cabin. He doubled back among

side of the cook shack. The men around
the keg were just moving slowly away
from it. Agroup of the others had al-
ready turned the corner toward the pris-
oner’s cabin.

A shout came back:

“Dead!”

The men broke into a run. Duncan
joined them. Breathing hard, they came
up to the circle around Romkey’s body.

“Pistoled,” commented someone. “Now
who done it." *

One man gave a cry, leaped forward
and threw uphis hand with the pistol in
it. The men stared at it; one or two
swore and stepped back.

“It's the captain’s pistol. The captain,
he warned Romkey to mind his own busi-
ness. He told Romkey to keep his nose
out of this."

“The captain came back an' got him,”
added another hoarsely.

Fred Frey, reports that he

average of close to two and a
half pounds each.

 

 

They shrank from the man who lay on
the ground. ,The men on the outside of
the circle began to cast uneasy glances
around them.

“Served him right," avowed one man
loudly, as if an unseen listener were
weighing their words. The others mum-
bled among themselves. They backed
slowly away. The man on the gronud
faced with his painful grin nothing but
the wavering green of a. branch high above
him. Captain Romkey had come to the
end of his hour’s command.

V.—THE PIECE OF SNAKE

They buried Romkey in a hurry, and
took the silver mounted pistol to lay on
the shelf in the captain’s cabin. Once
more the men were on their good behavior.
Two went scurrying up the trails to keep
guard again. The rest , sat in a circle,
looked at each other, and said hardly
anything.

Langdon, a tall, lanky fellow, with a
face the color of dirty paper, took it up-
on himself to assume command. He was
one who had cried: “Served him right !"
when they had found Romkey dead. Ap-
parently the belief was strong that the
captain was just around the corner
checking up on every word.

‘Take something more to the young
lady,” he ordered Duncan. “Tell her she’ll
not be bothered again.” .

Duncan shivered, and his jaw dropped.

“There's blood on the ground by the
door," he quavered. ‘I’m afraid—ha’nts—

He got a. cuff that sent him sprawling.
“Get along 1" growled Langdon.

dreams. ' -

There was, as he feared, a dark spot
on the hard-packed ground before the
cabin door. Duncan, with a. stony face,
walked right over it, but something twist-
ed inside of him as he did, it. He had .to
wait a. minute before he could make his
voice sound bold enough to speak to her.

To that breathless silence within he
said:

The next
second she had tWO frantic arms around
him and was sobbing against his shoulder.

“Take me away 1" she begged. "Quick!
Quick !” A , A.

He was far too unsure of himself to
feel any» gratification. .Yet that grasp
warmed him. At the same time, her agi-
tation made him fearful. Escape now?
The thing was impossible. It would take
preparation, waiting, night. and a. lucky
chance. Yet.ho feared to say it. She was
in the mood to run shrieking to the woods
if she were told that she must hide longer
in the cabin.

“Of course we’ll go," he said, in a
voice he tried to make reassuring. I’ll
get a couple of horses ready and hide
them. You be ready when I give the
word."

She grew 2. little calmer, and looked up
,at him—even tho she still unconsciously
held him tight. He almost winced at that
look. She seemed to think that he could
do as he promised. Could he? The
thought of his comparative powerlessness
made him savage.

“When things are ready,” he told her,
“I’ll walk past and whistle. Then you
make to the other end of the camp. I’ll
have the horses tied in that clump of
trees north of the sheds."

She nodded, and then seemed to freeze
in a. new terror.

“Alone?” she asked. “Do I have to go

- by myself ?"-

"I’ll be busy," he explained. “If they
miss me, they may start looking for me
before we’re ready. They won’t know
you've gone. You’ll have to do it by your-
self. I’ll meet you where the horses are.”

He hesitated. “If you see the men
coming toward the timber, and I'm no-
where in sight, get on and ride anyway."

She cried out at that, as if he had
struck her, and shook her head. For a.
moment they stood there, breast to breast,
and he could feel her gather herself to-
gether. Then she stepped back.

“When you whistle," she repeated, and 

was gone.

Duncan went back to Langdon. The
men still hung together uneasily and
looked over their shoulders often. They
were wondering about Hornet. Presently
Langdon clapped his hands together.

“Romkey done for him i” he declared.
I'll bet on it."

They argued over that. Landon insist—
ed that Horner’s failure to show up gave
force to his argument. They tried to re-
call which way Homer had gone. One
man was sure. He started off to the
woods. Three more followed him. The
rest sat still and \jeered at them. Lang-
don turned ﬂnally.‘

“You’re scared to get into the brush,"
he accused them.‘ “Nobody’s waiting to
pick you off.”

Two more swaggered after him at that.
The others hunched their shoulders and
sat still. .

Duncan sauntered off toward’the sheds.
The stockade held a few horses. Most
were out in the timber, hunting for their
feed. All wore hobbies, of course.

TET:
and his righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33.

“‘ ETTER farming, better busi-
ness, and better living; and
the greatest of these is bet—

ter living.’ If there is one pro-
nouncement which has towered
above others in thesedays of dis-
cussion, it is aptly expressed in these
words.” This paragraph is taken
from Dean Mann’s “ﬁnal expression"
of the American Country Life Con-
ference held at East Lansing, Michi-
gan. And it is highly pertinent in
this connection to quote President
Buttenﬁeld on “The Issues of Farm
Life.” His ﬁnal word is, “But above
all, let us not forget that, while the
present day world is at work sub-
duing nature, utilizing material re-
sources, and building the huge ma-
chinery of civilization, the abiding is-
sues of farm life, as of all life, lie
after all in the subordination of the
material to the spiritual, of the phy-
s'ical to the moral. In other words,
they lie in such principles as the su-
preme worth of the individual, the
giving of each individual both the
opportunity and the stimulus for the
maximum development of his mind
and spirit, and the cooperation of in-
dividuals, of families, of communi-
ties, of states, of nations, of races,
for the common welfare of all man-
kind.” This writer left the confer—
ences on country life with special ad-
miration for the personality who did
so much to saturate the atmosphere
of the meeting with the spirit of
righteousness. His words, “for the
common welfare of all,” is a. modern
phrazing of Jesus’ “The Kingdom
of God,” the seeking of which is the
true end of life.
live in the rural sections, and are
tempted to believe that the weal of
ourselves and of our children lies,
ﬁrst of all, in more money and bet-
ter economic adjustments, must be
reused to know that it is “better
living” through the undergirding of
the life with religion, that makes for
ﬁnal and complete satisfactions. This
is precisely what Jesus said in the
words of our teirt. Now let us ex-
amine this lesson a little more sym—
pathetically.

And to do this, is to know ﬁrst
what warnings lie back of the text.
“Except your righteousness shall ex-
ceed the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise
enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
A sharp forewarning indeed ; a start-
ling declaration that a merely pas-
sive and conventional religion was
missing the mark. This is severe,
but it is the truth which has for long
been too much crushed to earth.
This principle puts an eternal tabu
upon any social institution, church
or other, which does its service be-
fore men to be seen of them; that
is, to exalt itself. The seal of truth
is put upon that institution which
reaches down into the great heart
needs (if humanity in an humble and
unostentatious manner. “Let not
thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth.“ Every church and so-
cial agency needs to uncover its
light, but the motive for such adver-
tising is sanctiﬁed only through bap-
tism in the spirit and purpose of
Christ. The ,good Lord knew that
when we go to blowing trumpets our
weak nature would be tempted to
petty show‘for the‘sake of worldly
honor; Our text is a drawn indict-
ment against this thing and ‘a posi.
tive social charge laid upon the
m'nds of men and institutions. The
id a1 set forth grades the activities
and institutions of every community
on the basis, of their» motive and-
pow'er- to promote better living. A '
lower motive may be rewarded for.

and raiment and the good things of
earth, and this the law of'the King-
dom adds. But when men seek these
things for their own sake, and reck-
on that life consists in accumulating
them so that theymight have them
in abundance, this is disallowed.
our Lord declares in uncompromis—
ing terms that material greed is eter-
nally opposed to social good, or
Kingdom living. Judge Gary is dead.
He was a strong exponent of the
virtues of personal religion. But it
may be doubted that he left much
social recognition to United States
Steel.‘ To seek money ﬁrst, believing
that somehow this will promote bet-
ter living in the end, is a practical
nulliﬁcation’of the teaching and life
of our Savior. He declares that
when. We seek ﬁrst possessions in
the realm of the unseen, which is
eternal, those necessary things in the

realm of the seen, which is but tem- ‘

porary, will be added unto us.
This is a way of life that holds,
as President B‘utterﬁeld has said, to
the “supreme worth of the individ-
ual" and to “the cooperation of in-
dividuals" for the common Weal.
Now, .Christianity is a way of life,
and it is this way of life. To pro-
mote it, the community must look to

velopment of its citizens; it must
emphasize personal attention to
righteousness. These citizens in the
aggregate, make for social foulness
or fragrance. The writer has in
hand a score card for the grading of
farmers which was handed him at
the country life conferences. It is
signiﬁcant, that out of the one thou-
sand points given for determining
the farmer’s standing nearly one half
come under “Home Life” and “Citi-
zenship.” No farmer is a "Master"
until he is morally ﬁt. And this per-
sonal ﬁtness is shown by his social
attitudes; that is, his home and citi—
zenship relationships. This is a joy-
ous conforming to the two-dimen-
sioned program of personal right-
eousness and social service, as taught
and lived by Christ. To seek ﬁrst
the Kingdom of God is to have it
within and express it without. It
is a soul—quality that ﬂows out in
love to all men in ever widening cir-
cles. It cooperates “for the common
welfare of all mankind.” For ex-
ample, our “Master Farmer” is re—
quired to take an active interestin
school aﬁairs, to go to church at
least thirty-ﬁve times a year, and is
given extra points for active inter—
est in and support of the church.
But mark this, “If known in the com-
munity as ap‘knocker’ on community
enterprises, make full deduction.”

Verily, the time is here when the
ﬁrst things of life are striving for
ﬁrst place, when the spiritual concept
of living is beginning to deliver us
from the dominion of sense things,
when “better living” must become
the high purpose of one and all. The
common welfare of all is the one and
unvarying motive of Jesus’ life and
teachings. This motive is the chief
corner-stone in the building of a
better community. Let rural preach-
ers and sociologists make this their
common theme. When our text has
a chance, it wil‘ raise the common
life of the community to its highest
possible terms. This is the Kingdom
of God come to the country. '

THANKSGIVING

HANKSGIVING, with its proverbial turkey,
dishes of crimson jelly and golden brown
pumpkin pies, is not far 0E. Many of us

.are already dieting some so that we will be in
trim to enjoy the good eats that we know we will
have. Then when the time comes we will stuff
ourselves so much that we will have to take a
nap in the afternoon while the women folks do
the dishes, and we will forget almost completely
the purpose of this day. Let us not forget to
get down on our knees and thank the good Lord
for the many blessings he has shown us.

SELLING POTATOES

ELLING potatoes! That is what Michigan is
doing during the month of November with
its many potato shows. The Top 0’ Michigan

Show at Gaylord is the ﬁrst one and this is fol-
lowed with shows at Mayville, Greenville, Cadil—
lac, Big Rapids, Traverse City, and others of
lesser importance. Our leading shows attract
national attention and result in Michigan pota-
toes being shipped to many parts of the country,
while the smaller shows increase local interest
in better production.

NOW WILL THE GRANGE BEHAVE?

PEAKING at a banquet in Bay City recently

7 Congressman Robert J. Clancy of Detroit

is reported to have expressed his opinion of

the stand the State Grange took on prohibition at

its ﬁfty-fourth convention by saying, “If the

State Grange would pay more attention to crop

rotation and scientiﬁc research to solve real

v problems instead of trying to regulate the morals

' of the people of the State it would accomplish
more for the farmer." -

What bothers the congressman is the fact that
he and his wet friends cannot tell the farmers
'how to vote. The farm folks helped make this
country dry and every vote or canvas taken since
that time indicates they have not changed their
mind. Perhaps he is just a bit afraid of the in-
ﬂuence that may be wielded by this ﬁne rural
organization.

Congressman Clancy’s way of telling the farm-
ers to “go homeand slop the hogs” will not
make a very great impression on the State
Grange. In fact his cause would have been
better off if the words had never‘been uttered.

 

SPREAD OF CORN BORER CONTINUES

Borer was known to be in the'counties of

ment of Agriculture sends’ J I
ment including Alcona, Benton, i-Chebeygan,
Gladwin, Ogemaw and Prosque Isle,  a

total of thirty-ﬁve counties in Michigan in which

the borer has been offiCiaily found. That is just
over half of the counties in the lower peninsula.

Get your map of Michigan and notice how the
infestation is following the shore line of the State.
Perhaps by next summer we will have reports of
infestation along the eastern side of .Wisconsin
and Illinois, the borers being carried thereby

rnnrass ‘LAW

MOVEMENT is said to be under way to "

amend and take the teeth out of the Horton
trespass bill requiring hunters to secure oral
permission of a land owner to hunt on his prop-
erty. Our lawmakers took most of the teeth out
of the original bill before they would pass it
and now sportsmen want to make it completely
harmless. .
Some readers report that wevmight as well not

have the law as hunters fail to pay any attention V

to it anyway. That is no doubt true in many
cases, the hunter trying to avoid the owner of
the property and telling anyone who questions
him that he has oral permission. When caught
by the owner a hunter may apologize and say
that he talked with ‘a man who said he was
the owner and gave him permission, or that he
was hunting on the adjoining farm with permis-
sion and did not know that he had crossed the
line. Various excuses can be offered and some
will sound plausible. But it the law could be
changed from “oral permission” to “written per-
mission” we feel- conﬁdent it would be far more
effective.

If this bill is to be amended let us see that
it is made stronger instead of weaker. Legis-
lature does not meet in regular session for over
a year yet but we advise your getting in touch
with your senators and representatives, personally
or by mail, right away, and then keep reminding
them every once in a while.

 

so ALL MAY PROSPER

ICHI-GAN is fortunate in having such a rail-
road as the New York Central Lines serv-
ing its citizens in many sections. 'Any

movement to improve agriculture in the State
usually has their ready moral‘and ﬁnancial sup-
port. At the present time they are not only as-
sisting in the staging of potato shows in different
parts of the State but they are supplying the nec-
essary equipment and crews to operate several
special trains in Michigan, cooperating with the
agricultural college and making these trains of
the greatest possible value to the farmer. These
trains have helped carry the messages of better
herd sires, more dairying and alfalfa, fertile soils.

certiﬁed seed potatoes, and other subjects to the /

farmer much to his proﬁt.

Of course they have selﬁsh reasons for wanting
the farmers of Michigan to prosper through bet-
ter crops and livestock. One of them is that it
will mean more business for their trains, more
freight to be hauled to distant points as demand.
increases for Michigan grown products with a
reputation for quality. But, surely we can not
blame them for wanting interest on their invest-
ment in the betterment of Michigan agriculture.

HIGHER PAY FOR OWN-UP

'“ BELIEVE that the farmer should receive

more than $2.00 per acre for cleaning up his

corn ﬁelds," said Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture Dunlap at the recent International Corn
Borer conference in Detroit. He owns a farm
in Ohio and has an idea of how big a job it is to
make a thorough clean-up. We doubt if he could
have made a statement that would meet with
greater applause from the farmer within the
quarantined area than this.‘

’VE been a thinkin’ most a week, for since I

heard some teller speak by radio, o—tellin’ us v
- that we should scheme instead of ones and fig-
ger out some new idee, I’ve been u—thinkin' wife
and .me had ought to ﬁgger out some way so We
could make the old farm pay. With her to work
and me to plan there’s surely some way that we
can make money, all I need, by gee, is, Just to
think of the idea. The banker called me up today
about them notes I didn’t pay, most ov’ry teller
that I see has got cash comln' off of me, and
though Mirandy stews and frets we keep accumu- '
latin’ debts. '

Mirandy's scre because I sit for hours and never
move a bit, she says if I would toil and sweat "
we’d have a better chance to get a balance put by
in the bank. but some day maybe wife will thank
her stars because she's got a man with brains
enough to think and plan. I'll ﬁgger out a. scheme
that will put lots of money in our till, I don't
know yet what it will be, but I’m‘ a-thinkin’ hard,
by gee!

 

 

4 PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY e

 

 

 

I see by the paper how a feller in New York ;

run away with his brother's wife after stealin'
his clothes.

about the last straw. A feller can get around
without his wife but he can't get very far with-
out clothes. ' . '

I just read a news item that had quite a. "kick"
in it. The headin’ was "Breaks Ann; Starts
Tractor With Foot." .

I got inside dope on the new ﬁivver that ~

Henry’s turnin’ out. I was talkin’ with a teller

that has a cousin that goes. with a girl whose ‘

father knows a chap that rooms with a teller who
worked at Ford's a year or so ago.

 

'Twasn’t more than 'a couple of years ago that
we was readiu’ ’bout contests bein’ held all over

the country to decide who was the champion '

dancer, or piano player, or the biggest eater.
Just the other day I read ’bcut a dish washin'
contest bein' held in California. That sounds like
the old world is goin' to get down to normal
again after while.

 

Ever hear this one? An auto got stuck in the
mud down the road a piece from our place this

fall and I went down to help the teller get out. i
I asked him if his bus didn’t have enough power ~‘

to pull out and he said he guessed so, but the
darned engine was missin.’

could we have lost it?”

speaking homes. They had hand-
made baskets of all kinds and sizes
for sale, having a whole truck load
'with them. Their truck carried Ohio

a basket because they seemed to be
well worth the money. Then one fel-
low asked me if I had any horses
with the heaves. I told him I didn’t
and asked if he was buying such
horses. He replied he was ~doctor-

mine were not doing so well and he
wanted to look them over. He said
they had worms and offered to sup-
ply enough medicine to treat four
horses for $5.00 or would sell the

right about the horses so gave him
the ﬁve and asked him to leave his

J. H. WEISHAAR & OODH’ANY

We would like to have you help
us collect some money we have com-
ing from J. H. Weishaar and 00.,
commission merchants, 12 South
Water Market, Chicago, Illinois. for
celery we sent them on consignment.
We sent them a total of 70 boxes of
celery and never received one penny
for it. They wrote that our celery
was sold for $1.75 and $2.00, but
being short of capital they asked us
to wait two or three weeks for our
money. We waited and not getting
any returns wrote them. We re-
ceived a letter telling us they were
still short of money but we would
get paid in full in two or three
weeks. After allowing them plenty
of time to make good their promise
we wrote them another letter to
which they failed to reply, and we
are still waiting for our money.—
G. T., Ottawa County.

PON receipt of this claim We
wrote the company a letter
which they did not see ﬁt to

acknowledge. Then we sent them a
second letter—with the same results.
A third letter went by registered-
mail to be sure that they receiVed
it and still no reply. We then placed
the matter in the hands of our Chi-
cago representative who called on
the company. He told Mr. Weishaar
that unless he settled with our sub-
scriber within two weeks we would
expose him through our columns be
cause even though his ﬁnancial con-
dition might be bad he had no right
to use the money of people who sent
him produce to sell. No settlement
being made the only thing left for
our subscriber to do is to start legal
action and, if necessary. put the
company through bankruptcy. Even
then it is doubtful if our Ottawa
county friend would win out- because
their investment is undoubtedly less
than what they owe him.

 

CHECK WAS NO GOOD

I wish you would let me know as
so as possible what you can do in
this case and what I am to do. Two
weeks ago I sold a cow and calf

payment. The check has been re-
turned to me as worthless. I have
officers here looking for him but
they do not seem to be doing any-
thing. The man’s name is Ikem and
he lives near Detroit.——Reader, Gen-
esee County.

HAT we can do to helpﬂ‘in such
a case can be answered in one
' word, "nothing." And he can
do just about as much. Any man
who gives a worthless check will not
sign his own name nor will he give
his complete address to the person
to whom he is issuing the check be-
cause he knows they will learn that
he is a crook and will try to locate
him. .
We advise our friend to frame this
check and consider in a diploma from
the school of experience.

and lZ-story garage to be erected
thereon. Location is the Northeast
corner of State Street and Park Place,
Detroit. This site adjoins the North-
west corner of Washington Boulevard
and State Street.

Building is to be a 1,000 car garage of
12 stories and full basement, steel and
concrete ﬁreproof construction, with
8 stores on ground ﬂoor. This garage
is the ﬁrst unit of the 85-story Book
Tower. Foundations and steel are
designed to carry an additional 12
stories.

The total security is $2,644,660, which
makes the bond issue approximately
56% of the security.

The location is probably the best in
the city of Detroit for a structure of '

~: give everyone. As a result, we will
“do a lot of last—minute planning, and
our gifts will be lacking in person-
_ ality. True Christmas giving does
5/ not need to be expensive giving; all
‘ it requires is a little thinking and
ﬂplanning on our part ahead of time.
' Most of the fun of Christmas lies in
. getting the right thing for the right
- person.
For this reason we are offering
these suggestions below. You may
' not be able to use any of them, but
at least it will turn your thoughts
Christmas-ward and perhaps make
;you sit down and do some real,
conscientious planning.

MOTHER: How many years has
' she struggled along with the same
' old hit-and-miss dinnerware, hardly
two pieces alike? The sauce dishes
L fail to match the plates and the vege-
: tab e dish is badly cracked. There is
1 a n ck out of one side of the platter,
and half the cups have their ears off.
, I What a sad state of affairs, especially
'r on company days!

v just loveua new set of dishes!
And they don’t need to be expen—
. ﬁ-i‘Ve-e—J‘ar from it! Old fashioned blue
fw'ﬁaow ware is particularly lovely for
the farm home, or a plain white pat-
. terlfwith a scalloped gold border.
Several members of the family can
club together to buy this gift of gifts
: for Mother if one can’t ﬁnance it.
One hint, though—always buy dishes
. from open stock, because, then, when
a piece is broken, it can easily be re—

~ placed and the set kept intact.
Would Mother like a new dress?
: Well, what woman wouldn’t! Or a
. pair of silk hose, or galoshes for
_ the cold and wet months of winter.
, Look around her kitchen and see
1 what she needs to make her work
; easier. A waterless cooker is the
‘ pride of every woman’s heart who
' owns one. A handmade tea wagon
to carry dishes and food from the
kitchen to the dining room and vice
’-versa would save her loads of steps.
': Pretty glassware is a gift that few
housewives can resist. Goblets,
V salad plates, and sherbet glasses are
' made in such lovely shades of rose,
amber, green and blue that they are
, sure to be welcome in any home.

household? Think how he Would
enjoy sitting down after supper lis-
tening to music from Detroit, Chi-
cago, or Grand Rapids, getting up-to-
the-minute market reports, and on-
Sundays when it is too cold to go to
church, hearing a good sermon right
at home. It is a good way to keep
in touch with the world and abreast
of the times, not only for Dad but
the entire family.

When he comes in chilly and may- ‘
be a little wet, too, fro-m doing the
evening chores, it would be very
pleasant for him to be able to slip
into a pair of cozy house slippers.
A smoking stand to place near his
favorite chair is a gift that would
give him unlimited satisfaction. Or,
if he hasn’t a comfortable chair all
his own, there is no question but
what he would welcome one. Fleece-
lined gloves will keep his hands
warm on the long drives to town, or
a new pipe would be a comfort to
him.

DAUGHTER: Pajamas are so pop-'
ular nowadays, that if Mother or
older sister is Wondering what to
give the young miss she should im-
mediately snatch at this suggestion.‘
Every girl in her teens craves them.
And they are especially attractive
when they are made of contrasting
material. The pajamas may have for
the trousers plain robin’s-egg blue
outing ﬂannel or sateen and for the
top an all-over ﬂoral design in ﬂan-
nel or sateen in which there is some
blue. Or the trousers may be black
and the top a bright red with per-
haps a black bird appliqued on the
pocket or front of the blouse. Pret-
ty pajamas may also be made of
contrasting colors in cotton crepe.

A string of the popular choker
beads in crystal, amber, or blue
would make big sister feel very
dressed up. Also, a pair of washable
gloves, in Chamois or suede—ﬁnish
material, are very practical as well
as being quite in fashion.

For the younger daughter, from 6

J

to 12 years, we recommend a warm
and woolly bath robe. Imagine it
made up in a lovely shade of blue
ﬂannel (heavy weight), or bright
turkey red! It also would be very
smart and good looking-in striped
material.

Sweaters, leather jackets, bedroom
slippers, books, boxes of paints and
drawing books are extremely wel-
come gifts for the youngsters.

SON: A ﬂeece-lined leather
jacket or sheepskin—lined reefer will
be appreciated by the younger mas—
culine members of the family. A
pair of ice-skates or a toboggan slide
is always greeted with loud cheers,
too. For the boy who is just begin-
ning to shave, a. safety razor would
make him beam with joy. Of course,
warm gloves, socks, and scarfs are
always in demand.

For the older son, a silk scarf for
dress-up occasions would make a
very nice gift, or a pair of suede or
pigskin dress gloves. Some of the
new leather bill folds are very good
looking and are quite inexpensive.

FRIENDS: Why not make your
friend’s family members of the vast
M. B. F. family as a Christmas gift,
if they are not already? For one’s
feminine neighbors, gay aprons are

always acceptable gifts, as are like—-

wise linen crash dish towels. The
new wool bouquets are easy to make
and add a pretty note of color to a
coat or dress.l(If you want instruc-
tions how to make these ﬂowers we
will be glad to send them to you.)

For the family in general, sub-
scriptions to good magazines and
papers provide much pleasure. Every
farm home should take a daily paper
to keep up with the news, a county
weekly to know What’s going on in
its community, a good farm paper,
such as the M. B. F. aims to be, The
American, perhaps, which is of inter-
est to everyone°but is more mascu-
line in its tendencies, and The Wo-
man’s Home Companion or The La-
dies’ Home Journal for the women.

Mrs. Dunbar Has Somepliemodeling Done

ANY of the houses built, some
years ago have a large pantry
opening from the dining room

or living room, a most impossible
arrangement when the cooking is
done in the kitchen, perhaps on the
opposite side of the dining room
from the pantry; such was the con-
dition in Mrs. Clayton Dunbar’s
home in Wexford county, and in the.
following, letter she will tell you how:
she arranged the plan to much bet-'9
ter advantage. ‘ ' ‘

Mrs. Dunbar told us about remade

‘ eling the wood shed to make a. laun-

dry room which Was very good,_

off the dining room into a clothes
room as the pantry was too far away
from the kitchen.

“There were two long shelves of
plain material also stained and var-
nished. They are about six’feet from
the ﬂoor. I have placed hooks 'in
under these shelves in rows to hang
the children’s clothing on as I iron
them. 'I sew a piece of tape on the

neck ba d or on each shoulder seam

Introductions.—May I ask your advice?
A second cousin is coming to spend
Thanksgiving week end with us, and while
she is here she’ll be meeting quite a. few
of our people. Now we want to get the
low-down on the prbper way to make an
introduction before she comes. She’s never
been to visit us before and we want to
do things right—E. M., Kent County.

-—-The general rule is that younger women
are presented ' to older women and unmar-
ried women to married ‘women, as for ex-
ample: * , v ' ‘

“Mrs. Brown, may I present my cousin,
Miss Gray? ' ‘ ' ' '

Men are usually presented to women,
unless the man is very, very much oder
than the woman, as: “Miss Gray—Mr.
Brown." ’

Among people you know very well, an
informal introduction is always best. such
as: v

“Irene, may I present Mr. Boyd? Harry,
this is my cousin, Irene Gray." Among
young unmarried women of the same age,
this form of introduction. is good:

“Irene, I’d like to have you .know Ruth
Hunt. Ruth, this .is my cousin, Irene

Gray,”

Here's an easy way to-seve 82, and yet

have best cough medicine
' you ever tried.

 

   

 
  
  

     

 

You’ve probably heard of this famous
home-made cough syrup. But have you
ever used it? Thousands of families feel
that they could hardly ‘keep house without
it. It’s simple and cheap, but the way it
takes hold of a cough will soon earn it a
permanent place in your home.

Into a pint bottle, pour 2% ounces of
Pinex: then add plain granulated sugar
syrup to ﬁll up the pint. Or, if desired,
use clariﬁed honey, instead ,of sugar syrup.
It tastes good, never spoils, and gives you
a full pint of better cough remedy than
32011 could buy ready-made for three times

s cost.

It is really wonderful how quickly this
home-made remedy conquers a cough—-
usually in 24 hours or less. It seems to
penetrate through every air passage, loos-
ens a dry,.hoarse or tight cough, lifts
the phlegm, heals the membranes and
gives almost-immediate relief. Splendid
for- throat tickle, hoarseness, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.

Pinex is a hi 'hly concentrated com-
pound of genuine orway pine extract and

alatable guaiacol, which has been used
or generations for throat and chest ail~
ments. I

To avoid disappointment, ask your drug-

st for "2%, ounces of Pinex" with d1-
rections. Guaranteed to give abso- ,
lute satisfaction or money promptly I
refunded. The Pinex 00., Ft. ‘

LITTLE JOE

While strolling one night through New
York’s gay throng,

I met a poor boy; he was singing a song.
Although he was ,singing, he wanted for
bread, '

Although he was smiling he wished him-
self dead.

I looked on this poor boy out in the snow,
He had no home to shelter him, no place

to go.

No mother to guide him (in the grave she
lay low).

Cast on the cold streets was poor little
Joe.

Chorus :

Cold blew the blast, down came the snow;
He had no home to shelter him, no place
to go, , '
No mother to guide him (in the grave she
lay low).

Cast on the cold streets was poor little
Joe.

A carriage passed by with a lady inside;

I looked on poor Joe's face and saw that

he cried,

He followed the carriage; she not even
smiled, '\

But fondly caressed her own darling child,

I looked on this waif and I thought it

was odd——

Was this poor ragged urchin forgotten by

God?

And I saw by the lamplight that shone on

the snow,

The pale deadly features of poor little Joe.

, Chorus :

The lights had gone out, the clock had

struck one-—

Along came a policeman whose duty was

done,

You could tell by the sound of his dull,

heavy tread,

You would think he was sinking the

/ graves of the dead.

"Oh. what is‘ this ?" the policeman, he said.

It was poor littleJoe—on the ground he

lay dead.

With his eyes turned to heaven, covered
with snow. ‘

Asthma. sufferers will be deeply inter—
ested in a letter recently written by Mrs.
Mary Bean, Nashua, Iowa. She says:

“I had asthma 17 years, coughed most
of the time and couldn‘t rest, day or night;
I tried everything, but grew so weak I
could hardly walk across the room. After
taking part of one bottle of Nacor, I could
do most of my housework. That was.8
years ago. I recovered completely,‘ as still
feeling ﬁne, with no signs of asthma."

Hundreds of other sufferers from asth-
ma. bronchitis and severe chronic coughs
have reported their recovery, after years
'of afﬂiction. Their letters and a booklet
full of valuable information about these
stubborn diseases, will be sent free by
Nacor Medicine 00., 590 State Life Bldg,
Indianapolis, Ind. No matter how serious

our case seems, write for this free book-

the October 22nd issue, which
was to suggest a title for a picture
that appeared on Our Page, I was in-
clined to think that you might not
care for, thiskind of a contest but,
your response soon erased from my
mind any doubt about its popularity.
You liked it ﬁne and ~suggested some
very good titles. In fact there were

Of course, all of you have wondered h0w

To those who do not remember the name
of our President I will say that this is

brothers.

and comparing, and then more judg-
ing and more comparing, an agree-
ment was reached.

“Unbrotherly Love” won ﬁrst place
and was suggested by Lela Lam-
rphere, R. 1, Gobles, who received a
manicuring set as a. prize. Lela sent
in six titles and her ﬁfth choice was
the judges’ ﬁrst. Second prize, a
pearl handled jackknife, went to
Dale Miller, of Howell, for suggest-
ing “Two Blushing Faces and a
Smiling One.” Dale offered three
titles. Matilda Hunter, of Gaylord,
sent in ten suggestions, one of which
was “0. I. C. U.,” the third prize
winning title. She received a pretty
bottle of toilet water.

The ﬁrst ten to Send in titles re-
ceived pins and pledge cards and
were as follows: James Kelly, R. 3,
Coopersville; Dorothy' N e u m a n n,
Glennie; Maurice Styles, R. 6, Eaton

to another. This time we are going
back to an old favorite—a story writ-

had for many a month. There are
so many good story writers among
the farm boys‘ and girls that it is a.
shame we do not have contests of
this kind oftener, but there are so
many different kinds to try out that
we almost forgot some that We want
to repeat. ‘

This is to be a Christmas story
contest. It begins at once and ends
December 3rd so that the prize Win-
ning stories can appear in our issue
of December 17th. Try. not to make
your stories more than about six or
seven hundred words long so that
we can publish the three, as there is
to be that number of prize‘winners,

The Club Boy’s Trip

HIS spring when I started 4-H
Dairy Calf Club work‘in the
Macomb County Dairy Calf Club

No. 1, I did not know whether I
would continue all the year with the
work or not. I knew that if I did
continue, it would mean a lot of
hard work ﬁtting my calf for the
show, being in the judging work and
taking part in club activities. At
one of our ﬁrst meetings, a surprise
came when Mr. McWilliams of the
Detroit Creamery Farms, represent-
ing the Rotary Club, announced that
the all-around county calf club
champion would receive a trip to the

,National Dairy Exposition at Mem-

 

 

   
 

*chamripre

phis, Tenn. This gave all the boys
ambition to carry on the work all
the year. I worked hard myself all
the year, exhibiting my calf at both
the County and State Fair. I also
took part in the judging work at
both fairs. At the close of the sea.-
son, I gave my DairyCalf Club Rec-
ord book to Mr. Murphy the County
Agent, who forwarded it to Mr.
Pearson, the State Dairy Calf Club
Leader, for examination. In that
report, I had an accurate record of
all feeds and other expenses. and a
story of the club work. After Mr.
Pearson had graded the reperts, he
conferred with Mr. Murphy, Mr. Mc-
Williams and, Mr. Little, the local
leaders, regarding who should be
chosen county champion. After a,
short time, I was very, glad .to hear
that’ I, was the county, champion-and
was therefore. going to the, National
Dairy Exposition. " ‘

where the members of the judging

dairy cattle. We also took a. drive
over to Culver Military Academy,
where we stopped and took a look
at the spacious riding hall and
looked at the ﬁne black horses. We-
passed the famous Tippecanoe Indian
battleground. The judging team
placed a few classesof cows at Pur-

about the campus, 'we visited the
Boys’ and Girls' \Club offices of the

Doubles your profi

Noted dairy experts say that in the aver-
age herd one—tenth more milk will double
the net proﬁt. It costs no more, for in-
stance, to house, feed and care for a good
milker than a poor milker. After actual expenses
are met every quart of milk is net proﬁt. What
other effort on the farm. will pay you so hand—
somely as intensive milk—production?

Let Kow—Kare work for you this winter. Use it

-as thousands of- other money- dairies
are doing—to systematically regulate and condi-
tion your cows so that they are able to turn their
food into big milk yields. A few cents per month
per cow pays for all the Kow—Kare needed—a mere
fraction of your certain returns. .
' For cows about to freshen, give a'tablespoonful
of Kow—Kare at feedings for two or three weeks
before and after calving. It builds vigor to stand
the strain of calf—birth, and to resist disease.

Barrenness, Retained Afterbirth, Abortion,
Bunches, Scouts, Lost Appetite, etc., are all suc-
cessfully treated with Kow—Kare. Full directions
on each can. Feed dealers, general stores and
druggists have Kovaare. Large size $1.25; 6 cans
for $6.2 . Small size 65c. Send for booklet, “More
Milk fr 111 the Cows You Have.”

“Old Hickory Smoked Salt is wonderful. We never had nicer
meat and we will never go back to the old method of curing.
We have recommended it to all our friends”. —M. John
Lange, Montevideo, Minn.

A million farmers, about one ﬁfth
of all those who raised hogs in the
United States last year, cured their
meat with Edwards Old Hickory.
the original and genuine
smoked salt. Thousands of them
have written grateful, enthusiastic
letters like the above, telling how
Old Hickory has saved timehlabor,
meat and money; ——how it has
‘ prevented spoilage during cure and
if done away with the ﬁre risk and
excess meat shrinkage of the old
method of smoking. But chieﬂy
they tell of that marvelous ﬂavor
of genuine hickory wood smoke
mingling with the natural meat

juices in a delicious blend that
only Old Hickory can produce.

You can get the same splendid re-
sults and the same delicious ﬂavor
by simply replacing ordinary meat
salt with an equal amount of Old
Hickory Smoked Salt in your own
curing recipe. Old Hickory is high-
est purity meat salt smoked in the
open air with hickory wood smoke.
Not another thing is added. N o
smoke-house is needed. For meat
curing Old Hickory is packed only
in ten pound drums with the trade-
mark, exactly as it appears here.

EVERY-MHEEAMONTH TESTIN
FOR“ SMALL HERBS

may obtain many of the bene-

ﬁts of association testing at ’a
lower cost per cow than would be
obtained by the regular dairy herd
improvement association method.
This fact is brought out in circular
1-C entitled “Testing Cows for Pro-
duction Every Other Month,” by Dr.
J. C. McDowell, dairy husbandman
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. As the title suggests,
the, method involves testing every
other month or six times a year, in-
stead of every month or twelve times
a year as in the regular association.
In other respects the two methods
are alike. .

The circular concludes: “It is not
expected that the method of testing
every other month wil take the
place of the reguar dai y’herd im-
provement association method but
that it may ﬁnd its own place in
these districts where the dairy herds
are small.”

The circular may be obtained by
writing to the United States Depart-

ment of Agriculture, -Washington,
D. C.

FEEDING RYE

I have a quantity of rye which I
wish to use for feed. Is it good for
hogs? If so, in what proportion'can
I feed it in connection with ground
corn, oats, wheat, middlings, and
bran—any or all of these? There is
a lot of rye grown but I cannot seem
to ﬁnd any feed formulas which con—
tain it. Is it good for any other
stock? Ear corn hard to get and
prices for ground corn too high. Am
feeding a. commercial supplement
containing minerals and tankage..——-
.J. L. C., Bangor, Michigan.

R for a hog feed as is either corn,
wheat or barley. The rye is
not as palatable as the other grains
and the pigs do not eat it with a rel-
ish as a result of which they gain
more slowly when fed on rye and
show a. higher feed requirement per
100 pounds of gain. Best results are
' obtained in rye feeding when it does
not constitute more than one half of
the ration and when it it is fed in
combination with skim milk. _With
the feeds which you mention in your
letter it would be my judgment that
the best ration for your hogs would
be one consisting of 50 per cent rye,
25 per cent cats, 25 per cent corn or
wheat fed in connection with skim
milk, using about 3 pounds of milk
for each pound of the grain mixture.
Bran is not a satisfactory hog feed
and middlings are quoted rather
high at the present time. If mid-
dlings are quoted higher than wheat
per 100 pounds it would be cheaper
to use the wheat rather than buy
middlings as 100 pounds of wheat is
worth considerably more for feed
than is 100' pounds of middlings.
Rye is more satisfactory as a hog
feed than it is for any other class of
farm livestock. Considerable cau-
tion, hOWeVer. must be exercised in

YE is not nearly as satisfactory

SEPARATOR SLIME

Would like to know the cause and
remedy, if there is any, when we
take the separator apart there is a
slime on the shell. The cow was
fresh in July and seems to be as
healthy as ever. She has always
been a heavy milker. I feed corn
and cob and oats ground and a dairy
feed, mixed with it, com fodder and

alfalfa hay—‘D. J. R;,-'.Bur1ington,
Mich.

HIS is whatvis known as separ-
T ator slime and consists of insol-
uble salts, dirt, Casein, cellular
elements and micro-organisms. ' This
material is found after separating all
milk to some extent. However, some
cows that have an infection of the
udder, such as garget; if this con—
dition is found to a marked degree,
and also if there is dirt in the milk
through careless handling of the
milk which tends to increase the
amount of slime. I do not think
there is anything that you are feed-
ing your cows that would cause ex~
ceptional disposition 'of this mater—
ial. It may bevthat the cows in
question are suffering from garget
or some similar infection—J. E.

Burnett, Assoc._Prof. of Dairy Hus-
bandry, M. S. C.

 

RESERVE PREFIX NAMES

IXTEEN Michigan breeders of
pure—bred Holstein-Friesian cat-
tle have recently reserved preﬁx

names for their exclusive\ use and
have registered these names With
The Holstein-Friesian Association of
America.‘

Myron S. Howe and Company of
DeWitt, will use “Flowerland” as
the trade name for their herd.“Tess-
home” is the name selected by Ar—
nold C. Tessin of Freeland; “Merry
Acres” by Robert E. Hopkins of Al-
legan; “Vanholm,” Mr. and Mrs.
Russell Van Camp of Croswell;
“Grand Plain” by Charles M. Burk
of Dowagiac; “Kreifarms” by A. L.
Cridler and Sons of Middleville;
“Elm Loft” by Samuel J. McCreedy,
Colling; “Idealholm” by William
Boonstra of McBain; “gym” by Al-
bert L. Lederer of Auburn, and
“Hard-to—Beat” by O. L. Burdick
and P. W. Spender of Shepherd.
Harry W. Ballinger of St. Johns will
use “Pine Drive” as the trade mark
name for his herd. “Breezy Valle”
will be used by Joseph Johnson of
Marne; “Olivet Echo” by Everett P.
Reynolds of Olivet; “Eustis” by De—
Loughary Brothers, Bark River;
“Principia” by Richard P. Rose,
Turner, and “Elmlot’? by Glen R.
Clarkson of Brown City.

The purpose of preﬁx names used
by breeders of purebred Holstein-
Friesian cattle is tofacilitate the
naming of animals and to identify
the various herds. -Nearly 7,000
breeders in the United States now
use these registered names regularly.

NEVER GETS WITH CALI“

I would like very much to know
what can be done in the case of a
cow that comes in heat once every
month but never“gets with calf?—~
A. .F., Cedar River, Mich.

AM‘ not sure that anything can
be done but you may try the fol-

, lowing: Get some lodlzed salt
and steamed bonemeal and mix them
equal parts; give this cow 5 to 6
tablespoonsful each day on the feed.

 

 

ADVICE SAVED COW .
OME weeks ago I wrote your vet-
erinary editor regarding a. cow
— showing lymptoms of gastror-
rhea. He diagnosed it as “wooden
tongue.” Upon examination I Judge
You were right for the tongue was en-
larged and stiffened. Administration
of the prescription suggested did the
work and she is now about well. I
am very grateful for now she will
not be a. loss but can be kept or dis-
posed ot proﬁtably.—-Albertus Brandt.
Moor-croft, ‘Vyoming. A

 

 

Also give her one tablespoonful of
liquor potassii arsenitis on her feed

'night and morning for one month.

LUMP JAW
My cow has hard lumps on side
at! lower jaw about size of a man's
'ﬂst. One man said it was called
lump jaw and was not catching only
after it broke. and that there was
nogcure for it. She eats good—C.

‘0. E., Manchester, Mich.

THINK this must be lump jaw.

No, it is not catching and if it

has not affected the bone yet it
can be cured up. Paint this with
iodine two or three times each week.
Then get 2 ounces of pottassium io-
dide and dissolve in a quart of»
water; then give this cow one table-
spoontul on her lead night and
morning for several weeks.

MIXED UP WITH TELEPHONE

I have a one tube radio set that
works fairly good but at times it
goes dead as far as radio is con-
cerned, but we can hear all of the
local news from the telephone sys-
tem. Sometimes it is several days
before it gets all right, at other

connections are about twenty feet
from the ground connection of the
telephone. I changed the ground,
put it some ﬁfty feet away, but it
made no difference. I also changed
the aerial which made no difference.
This has happened some three or
four times this winter.——H. K.,
Fennville, Mich.

HERE are a hundred things that
T might make a radio set go dead,
but the fact that your set brings

in talk from the telephone line
when it is dead to radio indicates

A Club Boy’s Trip

sorghum, none of which I had ever
seen before. We had to cross the
Mississippi again before we could
get to Memphis. This time We
crossed it on a toll bridge. We ar-
rived at Memphis on Sunday evening
as scheduled and ate dinner at the
Boys’ Club Camp. Here all the 4-H
club boys and girls ate while they
were at the National. On Sunday
evening the group sang several songs
as well as a few individuals. On
Monday evening the singing of sev-
eral songs took place; each group
from different states took turns do—
ing stunts. During Monday and
Tuesday, many 4—H club members
took advantage of the free sight-
seeing trips about the surrounding
country.

On Tuesday evening the announce—
ment of the winners of the 4-H club
judging contest also took place. In
this contest, the Michigan team won
sixth place. On Wednesday after-
noon the boys and girls were taken
on a trip over to Klinckes’ Dairy
plant which supplies most of the
Memphis trace with dairy products.
Here each person received ice cream
and a. bottle of chocolate" malted
milk. Later we were taken to Over-

NO GUESS WORK FOR WARD’S
HEN a concern puts merchan-
dise on the market it should
know just how good that mer-

recommend it accordingly so that
they can build up a steady and grow—
ing market for their merchandise.
Take Montgomery Ward and Com-
pany, the large Chicago mail-order
concern, for instance. They have a
laboratory and maintain a staff of
experts who make thousands of tests
each year to make sure that the mer-
chandise sold by that large company
is just what they claim it to be.
The work is under Dr. Ellery H.

from smashing chairs to see just how
durable they are, to analyzing writ—

THE COMING 0F HELL

The newly appointed pastor of a negro
church faced a packed audience when he
arose to deliver a sermon on the burning
questiion: “Is There 9. Hell?" 1

“Bredren,” he said, “do Lord make the
world like a ball.” ' , ' .

“Amen!” agreed the congregation.

“And the Lord make two axles. for de
world to go round on, one axle at de
North Pole and one axle at de Souf Pole.

"And do Lord put a lot of oil and
grease in de center ob de world so as to
keep de axles well greased and oiled.”

"Amen i” said the congregation.

“And then a. lot of sinners dug wells in
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Lou'siana, Okla-'
homa, Texas and Mexico and Russia,.and-
steal de Lord’s oil and grease.

“And some .d‘ayrdey will have all of de
Lord’s oil ahdgrease, and dem axles is
gonna. git hot. And den, dat will be hell,
bredren, dat will be hell.” . ~

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 cockerel that was nearly dead. He‘
had dropped from 7% to 2% pounds. I
gave him Roup-Over and it worked like
magic. In two weeks, he was back on the
ﬁring line and ﬁghting every rooster on
the place. I can’t understand why ople
let their birds die with roup, whenI up-
Over will save them."

It is. amazing how quickly and easily
colds and roup can be ended by this meth-
od. (If the trouble is already started, a
few drops of Ron -Over, applied to the
nostrils, ,Wlll usual y banish every symp-

10 Hens Lay
10 Eggs a Day

Winter doesn’t stop Mr. Henry’s hens

 

. Readers whose hens are not laying
. well during these days of high egg
prices will ﬁnd much of interest in
the following letter from C. D.
Henry, Alverton, Pa- He says:

"I placed my pullets by themselves, and
fed them Don Sung. The third day my
eggs increased from 3 to 9 a day. They
have had Don Sung ever since and have

laid continuously. Yesterday I got 10 eggs
from them and am willing to make affi-

 

davit to it. Don Sung certainly gets the
eggs ' It has paid for itself many times
over’

Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tab-
lets which Mr. Henry used, are opening
the eyes of chicken raisers all over Amer-
ica. The tablets can be obtained from the
Burrell-Dugger Co., 256 Postal Station
Bldg., Indianapolis, Ind. Poultry raisers
whose hens are not laying well 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 giving
Don Sung to your hens so you will have a
good supply of fresh eggs all winter.

STATE HENS SCORE 'AS EGG
PRODUCERS

ICHIGAN poultrymen scored

signal honors on hens entered

'in the ﬁfth annual egg laying

contest which closed recently at
Michigan State College.

The contest began November 1,
and continued through 51
weeks. All birds entered in the
contest receive the same care and
are subjected to the same conditions
of environment, so that eggs pro-
duced are an accurate measure of
the productive ability of the hens.

A pen of 10 White Leghorns
owned by Harry Burns, Millington,
won ﬁrst place with a production of
2582 eggs. Third place was won by
another pen of White Leghorns,

entered by F. G. DeWitt, Grand
Blanc.
Other Michigan representatives

among the owners of the ten high
pens were Karsten’s Farms, Zeeland;
W. C‘. Eckard, Paw Paw; H. E. Den-
nison, East Lansing; E. G. Kil—
bourn,‘ Flint; and George B. Ferris,
Grand Rapids. These men were also
OWners of White Leghorns.

Michigan poultrymen won four
out of the ﬁve ﬁrst places for pro—
duction by Barred Rocks. Honors
in this section went to F. E. Fogle,
Okemos; John McClellan, Cass City;
Herman Berndt, and Charles E. At-
water, Cadillac.

Three out of the ﬁrst ﬁve places
in the Rhode Island Red section
went to J. Z. and D. H. Ballard, On—
ondaga; C. N. Whittaker, Lawrence;
and Mrs. John Goodwine, Charlotte.

Birds from Iowa, New York, Ala-
bama, California and Indiana divided
honors with contestants from Mich-
igan.

The sixth annual contest started
off the ﬁrst of November with 1,200
hens from every section of the coun—
try entered. One thousand of the
hens will compete in the contest
throughout the year, while the re-
maining 200 will be used when nec-
essary to replace those which fall by
the wayside.

Efforts will be made to equal the
record of the ﬁfth annual contest
which has just closed, with an aver-
age production for 51 weeks, of
194.02, as compared with 192.8 for
the preceding year; 176.57 for 1925;
163.06 for 1924; and 157.4 for the
ﬁrst year of the contests, 1923.

DO NOT STUNT BREEDING. STOCK

Heifers and bulls intended for
breeding should be kept growing both
in winter and summer, in order to
reach their full development. If
stunted while young, the expense of
development will increase.

‘ ‘ The Early Bird

. -. . and the strong-
est hens get all the
protein in a' poorly
mixed mash

 

O, (K

i ‘ f? HIM

VEN with great care you cannot shovel together a poultry

mash on the feed room ﬂoor and blend the ingredients to-
gether properly. To lay to her capacity, a hen must.have
a balanced ration, but when you put before the ﬂock a poorly
mixed mash they pick and choose, and the “early birds” get
all the protein—too much for their good—while the weaker
birds in the ﬂock take what is left. None of the ﬂock gets a

balanced ration by such selective
feeding.

To feed all your hens
equally well use
AMCO EGG MASH

 

HE perfect mechanical condition of AMCO EGG MASH

is one of the chief reasons why it gives such uniformly
high egg production. On AMCO EGG MASH each hen in the
ﬂock gets everything she needs to produce to her full capacity.
AMCO EGG MASH is perfectly balanced. The formula was
recommended by college poultry feeding experts. It is perfectly
blended. The ingredients pass into the mixing line carefully
gauged as to amount and come out in a perfect mechanical

mix.
This superior balance and mix alone make AMCO EGG MASH
a far better proposition than home mixing. And the low cost

of this mash removes any price advantage you may have had
formerly in shovel mixing.

‘- gly drove the top price for hogs in Chi-

 

? ' Wheat Prices Nat Up to Ekpectations with Future Unpromising
.By W. W. FOOTE, Market Editor.  .

GRICULTURAL conditions this
year proved much more satis-
factory than appeared prObable in

the spring and early summer when, it ‘

looked as if the cold an drainy weath-
er would never cease, but all things
came to an end, and it was fortunate
that the hot forcing weather came
late, but in time to save the corn
crop‘. Michigan is favored with good
average crops of grains, vegetables,
fruits, etc., and about the only seri-

‘ ous drawback at this time is the big

fall in prices which has been wit-
nessed in the leading grains as an in-
evitable result of the large crops.
Large marketing of new wheat is suf-
ﬁcient to account for the marked de-
cline in quotations for that important
Michigan farm crop stable crop, while
the price of new corn has collapsed
and the ﬁrst offerings failed‘ to sell
much above the prices paid a year
ago. Of course, this means plainly
that the only recourse for the corn
grower is to convert it into beef and
pork, and stock feeding this winter
is bound to become an important
branch of farming. Cattle feeding
has paid stockmen unusually large
proﬁts this year,' fewer having been
fattened than last year, and within
a short time well ﬁnished cattle have
sold at the highest prices paid since
1920. So far as general farming
conditions are concerned no marked
changes have taken place, and farm-
ers are still dissatisfied with prices
for most of their products. Leading
merchants report that fall business
has not been as good as last year,
and many men are out of work. But
1926 was the most prosperous year
in our history. It may be added that
.farmers who are supplied with silos,
corn huskers, tractors, and other
farm machinery are coming out bet-
ter than others.

Low Price For Wheat

The price for wheat and other
grains remain on a considerably low-
er scale than farmers had looked
for early in the season, and any de~
cided change for the better is not
likely to take place unless farmers
curtail their sales or buyers increase
their purchase. The new crop of
wheat is moving actively in the Unit-
ed States and Canada, and the only
way to put corn higher is to feed it
on the farm. Wheat continues to

I sell at much lower prices than in

recent years, December wheat having
sold last year around $1.26 and two
years ago at $1.52. The visible
wheat supply is larger than in recent
years, but the outlook is promising
for, normal exports off wheat and

aﬂour, as European requirements are

estimated the same as last year. De«
cember corn has sold about 15 cents
higher than last year, while oats
,were 6 cents higher than then and

_ rye nearly the same as a year ago at

99 cents. Rye exports have been
large and accumulations small. The
‘goverment corn crop report is a sur-
prise, the crop being estimated at
106,000,000 bushels more than that
+0! 1920. *

, Cattle Advance To $18

Prime beef cattle have advanced

., .‘to $18 on the great shortage, the

highest point reached in seven years.
Late sales were at $10.50 and up-
ward, with the bulk of the steers
going at $12.25 to $16.25. A week
earlier steers sold at $9.75 to $17.75,
a year ago at $7.50 to $12.50 and two
years ago at $7 to $14.50. There is
a great shortages, and heifers are up
to $14.50 for the best. There is a

V . much larger demand for stockers and

feeders than can be met at $7.75 to
$11.50, chieﬂy at $10 and over, with
stock and feeder cows and heifers at

 $6 to $8.50.

the retail shops.

were advanced in most markets due
to light receipts or more active de-
mand. . m

Potato prices showed some recov-
ery in the North Central region and
the Middle West. Apples continued
ﬁrm. Lettuce closed higher, and
cabbage advanced in the principal
shipping districts. Eastern grapes
ﬁnished at fairly high prices. Com-
bined shipments of 25 products de-
creased to less than 20,000 cars, or
9,000 cars below the proceding week,
and about 6,000 less than a year ago.

Potatoes

Hopeful signs appeared in the po-
tato situation, due chieﬂy to lower
temperatures. There was an advance
of 10 cents per hundred pounds in
Chicago carlot sales of sacked north-
ern Round Whites, while Idaho Rus-
seet Burbanks moved up 15 cents to

wool market during the week. Prices,
however, remain very ﬁrm, and prim-
ary markets abroad continue to show
general strength.- - - I -
Wheat _

Premiums for high protein types
of milling wheat continued ﬁrm dur-

spring wheat is. decreasing in the
domestic markets, and 13 per cent

CORN AND‘ POTATO CROPS
ICHIGAN’S 1927 corn crop has con-
tinued to be favored, and October
weather allowed the ﬁnal maturing
of 27 bushels per acre which is much bet-
ter than was expected earlier, according to
the crop report issued by Herbert E.
Powell, Commissioner of Agriculture and
Verne H. Church, Agricultural Statician
for Michigan. The estmiated production
of 39,582,000 bushels for the state is the
shortest crop since 1917. This year 37
per cent of Michigan corn~Wentinto silos
and 11 per cent was used—for forageror
grazing, which leaves a." net grain 'crop of
20,583,000 bushels, of which 67 percent
is merchantable. ' A 4 . _
Dry weather greatly lessened, the yield

Week of November 20
' THEE Conditions during the
, ' greater part of the week of No—

' vember 20th in Michigan will
average drier than during the past
two Weeks. The early days of this
week will be sunshiny and generally
clear. The temperatures at this time
will range close to the 20 degree
mark. ~ _,
About Tuesday the weather will
begin to moderate and during Wed-
needay and Thursday much unsettled
weather with light rain or snow and
some high winds will predominate.
This will be the most stormy period
at the week. ‘ 7
At the close oi the week the
weather will be cooler and the skies
much clearer.

“lock of November 27

The clear cool weather that is ex-
pected to begin in Michigan at end
of last week.will continue into the
opening days of the week of Novem-
ber 27th. «

However, around Monday and
Tuesday there may be signs of some
storminess but about Thursday of
this week, with mild temperatures,
there will be more precipitation. This
weather will then continue over into
Friday but the week will end with
generally fair weather and colder.

December Full of Changes

Although we are expecting the
month of December in the greater
part of Michigan will show unusual
changes with extreme from wet to
dry and cold to warm, we believe an
average condition will show the tem-
peratures slightly below the normal
but the precipitation considerably
above. Snowfall for the entire state
of Michigan is éxpcted to average
above the normal for the month.

The Greatest Scientific
Discovery Ever Offered
} Poultrymen and Farmers

When Flex—O—Glass
was ﬁrst introduced,
leading authorities
on poultry husbandry
and plant culture
wondered whether or
not the strong claims
made for this amaz-

ing material were
true. They tested
Flex-O-Glass thor-

FLEX-O-GLASS is
Recommended by
World’s Greatest Authorities

.—

TheAmerican Medical Association

Found FLEX -O-GLASS Wonderful ‘

The American Medical Association tested
Flex-O-G-lass for 65 days, found it was .not
affected by months of exposure to wmd,
snow, sleet and all kinds of weather and
advised 92,500 doctors to recommend it for
sun rooms and poultry houses. They put 11
chicks under glass and 16 under Flex-O-
Glass. After six weeks half of those under
glass died. All but three under Flex-O-
Glass were alive and each ‘weighed one-
third more than those under glass. This
means you can raise twice as many chicks
with a third more weight per chick at no
more cost. You are safe in accepting the
recommendation of the American Medical
Association. Order genuine Flex-O—Glass
for your whole farm NOW.

The British Illuminating Society
Test Was Amazing

The British Illuminating Society divided
a ﬂock of hens for 16 weeks and fed both
groups the same. The group that re-
ceived Ultra-Violet rays laid 497 eggs.
The other group laid only 124 eggs. This
roves the Ultra—Violet rays alone, which
lex-O-JGlass admits from the sun,
brought 373 eggs. “God moves in a mys-
terious way, His wonders to perform.”

Kansas State Exp. Station States:

“Some excellent results have been report-
ed by practical poultrymen who have used
glass substitutes, which will allow the
passage of the health giving portion of
sunshine to a considerable greater extent
than glass.” So Writes THIS great author-
ity in acknowledgment of the merits of
Flex-O-Glass.

Famous Chemist Says:

Dr. Morse, for 45 years Consulting Chem-
ist of. Connecticut, says: “Congratulations
are due you. Your statements I heartily
corroborate. FLEX-O-GLASS makes hens
lay, because the Ultra—Violet rays which
penetrate it makes hens healthful, chemi—
cally active, and increases oxygenating

power of the blood.”

You Can’t Go Wrong On
FLEX-O-GLASS

The tremendous success of Flex-O-Glass and the
~ universal endorsement the farm and poultry world
has accorded it. has led other manufacturers to
claim the same lasting qualities for their products.
Hence to protect you. We want to remind you that

cess on which there is a U. S. atent ending, and
that this process results in a gass su statute of a.
far more durable nature. Flex-O-Glass IS water-
