Growers Are Holding Beans to Stabilize Prices

Governor Green  C

N this date, Nov. 11, beans are
being paid for at the $5.00 price
to the grower. Notwithstanding

the price to elevators “by johbers is
only $5.25, including a bag at 15
cents. From all over the state it is
the same story: few beans coming to
market. There is a feeling that the
early threshed beans yield being used
on the other factor, viz: acreage
made the Hichigan crop statistically
in execs of the real output. There
is strong belief that Michigan has
not over five million bushel of beans.
The psychology of the $5.00 price
swept over the State and was ac-
cepted as a fair price by grower and
conceded by many of the local deal—
ers. As far as knowu it is without
a parallel in the annals of bean mar-
keting that the farmer-paid price
should aprpoach the jobbers’ price
by 25 cents. Withoutthe support
given the market by the growers re-
fusing to market below $5.00 and
the fairness of the local dealer $4.75
would be the bean price today. It
is fair to say that the main portion
of the crop still in farmers’ and
dealers’ hands has had an added
value of $600,000 by this mutual
operation and more in prospect. The
action of the Michigan-Bean Com-
mittee was immediately followed by
the Agricultural department’s action
in two other bean states, advising a
minimum price. The Idaho-Montana
Great Northerns were given a. mini-
mum price of $4.00 to the grower
which, with other charges added,
meant about $5.75 F. O. B. common
Chicago point rates, which was not
much out of line with $5.00 to Mich-
igan growers. In fact, Michigan,
with the advantage of rates east
and south could not get beans to
meet the demand unless the $5.00
price to grower was paid. Just the
moment the demand for Great North—
crns increased, the price stiffened
to keep in line with Michigan’s min-
imum price. The bogie man of
Great Northern‘s did not materialize.
During this interval of uncertainty
of. farmers’ attitude representatives
of the largest users travelled over
the state but hesitated to buy for
fear of precipitating a too rapid ad-
vance in price.

Not Rents Were sane Acre

In Colorado the Pinto beans are
going into storage and are not being
pressed on the market. The other
crops in Colorado are good and are
being sold, which enables the Pinto
grower to husband his been crop for

a fair price. European bean prices
are at least 50 cents higher than
they were 60 days ago. This indi-
cates that importation will be very
light unless domestic prices here ad-
vance sharply. There were imported
for the.12 months ending June 30.
1927, 63,069,559 pounds of beans,
paying 1% cents a. pound duty. The

Michigan Farm Rents

EAL ESTATE taxes on rented

farms in the lower peninsula of

Michigan last year were the
lowest since 1919, according to a
survey by the Michigan State Col-
lege in cooperation with the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The average tax per acre on these
farms was $1.37 in 1926, compared
with $1.46 in 1925, and $1.29 in
-1919.

Lower' farm taxes have not in-
creased the averoge returns to farm
owners during the past year the
study’shows, inasmuch as there was
a general increase in operating ex-
penses and a slight decrease in gross
rents between 1925 and 1926. Gross
rents averaged $4.82 per acre in
1926, as compared with an average
of $4.84 per acre in 1925.

Storing Pinto Bessie

Net rents for 1926 were $2.50 per
acre before deducting taxes, or 19
cents per acre under the ﬁgure for
1925. After the payment of taxes,
the net returns realized by landlords
averaged around $1.13 per acre in
1926, or 10 cents per acre less than
the corresponding figure for 1925,
and 7 cents per acre above the aver-
age for the seven years 1920-1926.
Taxes amounted to 54.8 per cent of
net rents before the payment of
taxes in 1926,.“ compared with a
percentage of 54.3 in 1925 and an
average percentage of 57.4 for the
seven years 1920-1926.

There were marked differences
among the various sections of the
State in the proportion of not rent
taken by taxes in» 1926. In the
counties bordering Lake Michigan
north of Mason county and west of
Chcboygan owners of rented land
paid in taxes on the average 57.7 per

preceding fiscal year about 20 per
cent more of foreign beans came into
the United States. The danger of
imports always begins as beans ad-
vance in price. This explains why
advanced prices are impossible. In
a year when the domestic crop is ex-
tremely large few foreign beans
come in. A shdrt crop invites im-

and Taxes Decrease

cent of their net rent (b'efore de-
ducting taxes). Owners of this sec-
tion had paid 94.6 per cent of rents
the previous year. In the shore
counties to south of these, and
Kent, Kalamazoo, Cass counties,
farm taxes averaged 50.9 per cent of
net rents, as compared with 52.9 per
cent in 1925. Falling rents in the
counties of the Detroit area and in
those in and around the Saginaw
Valley caused taxes to take a larger
portion of the net rent in 1926 than
in 1925. In the former area the
1926 percentage was 57.0 as com-
pared with 51.8 in 1925. The per-
centuge taken by taxes in the coun-
ties of the Saginaw Valley was 60.8
in 1926, a marked increase from the
ﬁgure of 46.6 in 1925. Reports from
counties in the Thumb district
showed the lowest net returns for the
State outside of the cutover region.
Taxes for 1926 in ﬁve counties of
this district averaged 't' 9 per cent of

net rents as compared with 65.6 per

cent in 1925. Reports from ﬁve of
the southern Michigan counties
showed a ratio of taxes to rent close
to the State average and relatively
little change from 1925 to 1926.

The figures given for 1925 are
those reported about nine months
ago as the ﬁrst results of the co-
operative study being carried on by
Michigan State College and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Figures for 1926 are based
upon reports sent to the college by
the owners of 614 rented farms lo-
cated in the lower peninsula. These
farms reported information for both
1925 and 1926. A total of 1,538
farms have been considered in the
preparation of the farm rent and tax
estimates. »

portations. The Michigan Bean
Committee was obliged to take this
in consideration in naming a $6.00
minimum. At least 50 cents more
could have been added per hundred
if the tariff were higher.

Wanted Hearing on Tarii!

A letter ﬁling an application for
a hearing on the tariff was drafted
by the Bean Committee and ad-
dressed to the Federal Tariff Com-
mission. The answer was that lack
of funds hampered the Tariff Com-
mission in undertaking this work.
One of the real jobs for Michigan
bean growers is an increase of tariff
rates. The Balkan States where
wages are lowest are the chief com-
petitors, particularly Roumania.

One of the largest American can~
ners of beans is building a plant in
England to meet the demand for
canned beans so familiar to the
American trade. The British Isles
are developing. a taste for baked
beans. Labor and cans are cheaper
than in the United States. The in-
ﬂuence on the Michigan bean price
will be negligible by this venture.

Fit Beans for Market

The Colorado Pinto growers sales-
body are sending out a ﬂeet of bean
machines to grade clean and polish

'their beans. When the job is ﬂn-
ished the beans are put up in 100
pound sacks and sent to the storage
pool at Denver. A large cash ad-
vance is made when the beans reach
the pool warehouse.

There is a pronounced disappoint-
ment among growers of “contract”
seed beans. The dry weather seemd
to hurt this grade of beans, worse
than the “whites”; the vines were
small and hard to harvest. Contract
growers are not inclined to continue
producing seed stock unless prices
are advanced.

Robust Beans

Some complaints are being made
that the Robust bean is losing its
forceful characteristics. The writer
is not convinced that this is the case.
The cool weather last summer ap-
parently did not allow ordinary ni-
trogenous development. Clay spots
in corn and bean ﬁelds were notice-
ably weak in plant growth.

Commissioner of Agriculture Her-
bert E. Powell has aided in every
way all the movements for better
price of beans. Gov. Green has met
with the growers and taken a stand
for agricultural equities.

5- OVEMBER, the month of potato
:1 shows in Michigan, has come to
 a close and “King Spud” has
,iretired until after the holidays when
"he will again hold the center of the

State College, East Lansing.

.The ﬁrst show this fall was at Gay-
lord and known as the Top 0’ Mich—
igan'Potato and Apple Show. Fol-
lowing this came the Thumb of Mich-
igan Potato Show at Mayville. Both
of these shows were reported in our
November 19th issue. Since we
closed that issue there have been
line shows at Greenville, known as
‘The' Potato Capital of Michigan.”
at Big Rapids, Cadillac, and other
points of slightly less importance.

Greenville Show

The Greenville Potato Sh ow
, opened up November 9th with more
, than 200 exhibits being placed. Most
of these Were from Montcalm county
but there were displays from a doz—
en or so other potato growing coun—
ties of the State, making competi-
tion extremely keen.

On the 10th, Thursday, the show
gotto going full blast with talks by
Commissioner H. E. Powell of the
State Department of Agriculture
heading the list of speakers on the
program for the men shortly after
\pot luck dinner. The women also
had a special program in the after—
noon, but in the evening the two
groups got together to enjoy some
music and moving pictures.

Prof. H. C. Moore, of the Michigan
State College began judging the
main exhibits on Thursday and found
the Rural Russet variety greatly in
the majority but excellent displays
of White Rurals, Green Mountains
and Irish Cobblers were also on
hand. Baking classes Were judged
by Paul Kempter of Grand Rapids.

Friday there was a forenoon pro-
gram of speakers but the afternoon
was taken up with a large parade at
the head of which rode “King Spud.”
Hundreds of farmers lined the
streets of Greenville to witness the
parade and at the same time motion
picture cameras recorded the event
on ﬁlms to be shown later in every
'part of the United States, and pos—
sibly the world. More than a cen—
tury of potato history was depicted,
as the countryside had been combed
for material such as old fashioned
machinery. Even a huge potato
bug, measuring 14 feet in length and
3 feet high, mechanically crawle'd its
way down the street, and later in the
parade was found an over-sized leaf
hopper, acting very lifelike for a
mechanical bug.

The annual banquet took up the
evening and there was a good turn
out. The 12th, Saturday, was the
closing day and after judging con-
tests in the forenoon it wound up
with a special meeting of certiﬁed
seed growers.

Youth will be served. At May-
ville two boys won sweepstake priz—
es with their exhibits. Both boys
, were in their teens. At the Green«
I ville show a boy only eleven years
‘ old was crowned “champion of cham—
pions” by Gov. Green. This boy,
Gordon Lee Doneth, Copemish farm
lad, exhibited 32 Rural Russets that
won the sweepstakes award over
exhibits of gray-haired farmers who
have been growing potatoes for ﬁfty
years or more. From two-thirds of
an acre Gordon harvested 201 bush-
els in spuds. Gordon is a Boys’ and
Girls’ Potato Club member and grew
‘his crop under the direction of the
'M. S. C. experts and the agricultural
agent in his county. The land used
(was alfalfa sod to which was applied
gten loads of barnyard manure before
plowing it last spring. Seed was
treated before it was planted and the
crop was carefully sprayed.

Big Rapids Show

The following week Gordon took
‘  exhibit to the Western Michigan
to Show atBig Rapids where he
his “Waterloo.” His sweep-
s exhibit at G'reenville' won only
I, place at Big Rapids.

Farmers Like Partnership Threshing Machine .

U‘ST threshing and getting the
J grain are two different sides of

the question. As most of the
good threshers in this community,
Genesee county, had quit the busi-
ness, either retired or died, seven of
us farmers decided to buy a new ma-
chine and get all of our grain, which
we did. \

We were lucky to have a man
among our members who had been
a thresher for several years and was
on the job at all times.

We held a meeting. and elected a
president, a manager and a secretary—
treasurer, starting off on a business—
like basis. The business is being
handled very satisfactorily to all.

We thresh by the bushel. That is
we set a price per bushel and total
all of the seven threshings at the
end'of the season. The man whose

competition between E. -W. Lincoln
and Edward Sutton.

from Sutton several years ago and”
the potatoes from the two farms were
so much alike in shape, type and
general» appearance that spectators
foresaw a close race. ‘

threshing runs over the average pays
the difference into the treasury and
the man whose threshing runs under
the average gets the difference be-
tween what his amounted to and the
average.

We have neighbors who did not
want to buy in-on the machine but
want us to do their threshing. After
the threshings of the seven members
are done we do outside work, charg-
ing the regular rate per bushel.
This money goes into the treasury

Portable Grain Bins Are Labor Savers

ARTIiN W. HYENGA, who per-
M sonally operates his ‘ large
farm in Van Buren county,
Michigan, has devised and put into
operation a labor-saving plan which
will be of interest to our readers.
He has two portable grain bins, one
iron and the other wood, which he
hauls about his farm with his trac-

’ tor.

He has his own threshing machine
and he locates it anywhere on the
farm near the grain to be threshed
and then with the tractor hauls the
portable grain bin to the place where
the threshing operations are going to
be carried on. The grain elevator
spout is run int-o the portable grain

bin and the grain is taken care of
without the aid of man during the
threshing operation. Each bin holds
800 ~ bushels. After the threshing
has been completed the tractor is at—
tached to the bin and it is hauled to
the barn.

Mr. Hyenga says that by using this
portable grain bin he is able to do
his threshing with but ﬁve men and
three teams, which means that it
saves him the expense of from three
to six men, depending upon the loca-
tion of the threshing to the farm,
these men being needed to carry the
grain from the machine to a place
of storage when threshing in the or-
dinary way—J. S. a
o .

portable grain bins

Sweepstakes award at the Wex— V

ford-Missaukee Potato Show was
won by Clarence VanHouten, of, Mis-
saukee county. The Manton and
[Moorestown agricultural Schools tied
in the judging contest and went to
the ‘Big Rapids show to work off the
tie. Forty-nine exhibits, represent-
ing all of the popular varieties Were
on display. Attendance at the show
and banquet was estimated to be in
excess of 200.

Arrangements for next year’s
show was leftto a committee consist-
ing of the county agents, Kenneth
Ousterhout of Cadillac and H. L.
Barnum of Lake City, and two grow-
ers, George Harrison of Manton and
Fred VanderMeulen of Falmou-th.

County Agent Barnum of Missau-
kee county presided at the banquet.
Mayor H. C. Moore gave the address
of Welcome. Henry Curtiss, presi-
dent of the Michigan Potato Growers
Exchange, urged the growing of good
seed and told of the progress growers
had made since they began using cer-
tiﬁed seed. He said there were no
marketing problems when the grower
had a reputation for producing po-
tatoes of high quality. '

Ed Stiver of Harlan explained the
uses and importance of spraying for
the various pests. George Harrison
of Manton explained value of green
manures. Fred VanderMeulen told
of marketing problems and C. E. At-
water outlined what the market de-
mands. These. demands were chang-
ing constantly, he said. Right now
there is a demand for good bakers
and fancy prices were being offered
for bakers of good quality. H. C.
Moore, Michigan State college potato
specialist, reviewed the unusual
growth of the potato shows about
the State and predicted a still more
wonderful growth in the next decade.

B. 0. Hagerman, agricultural spe-
cialist for the Pennsylvania railroad,
characterized the potato show as an
area of friendly competition and a
pageant of progressive potato evo-
lution.

The following were the winners in
the various classes: Bushels—Rural

0 you know why there is

provided that air space so that
the baby chick .may have air to
breathe from the time it comes
to life within the egg until it
is strong enough to break

Eggs hatched in an incuba- '

porous, and the little chick
dies in the precess of incuba-

FEDERAL HAND BANKIAND
JOINT STOCK LAND BANK

/ Is there any difference between the
Federal Land Bank and a joint stock

is it? Where can I get information
on bothY—H. 8., Calhoun County.

THE only material difference be-
tween a loan with ‘a Federal

Land Bank and a joint stock
land bank is the fact that a borrower
ot the Federal Land Bank must join
a local farm loan association and ac-
cept 6 per cent of his loan in stock.

may,-or may not, pay a dividend.
However, the borrower must pay the
Federal Land Bank interest on the
full amount of his loan.

If the association is properly man-
aged and all the loans are carefully
and conservatively made the divi-
dend on the stock, which is paid to
the association who holds it. is in
turn paid to the borrower.

There is no stock obligation to a
joint stock land bank loan. The bor-
rower receives the amount granted
and does not assume any liability
except for the exact amount bor—
rowed.

Information can be procured from
the main office of the Federal Land
Bank or its local representative re—
garding its operation, while interma-
tion regarding the joint stock land
bank can be procured through the
secretary of the American Associa-
tion of Joint Stock Land Banks, Kel-
logg Bldg, Washington, D. 0., or
the main office of the joint stock
land bank.

Most local banks in a community
should be able to furnish informa-
tion regarding both types of loan.

SHOULD FURNISH HALF AND
GE'I‘ HALF

I am working an 80 acre farm.
The agreement was to give hall and
take half. I bought all the seed po-
tatoes. Can the owner of the farm
take a share or not? He agreed to
give ground for potato patch for
myself.——G. P., Snover, Mich.

ENERALLY the tenant is given
a patch of ground for a garden
which may be large enough to
grow a few potatoes. It suificient
potatoes are grown for commercial
use, the landlord should furnish one-
halt ot the seed and receive one-halt
of the product—F. 'l‘. Ridden, Re-
search Assistant, M. S. C.

GETTING CLEAR TITLE

I have bought taxes on a certain
parcel of land. Will you please in-
form me how to proceed to make my
title secureY—L. G.. Shepherd, Mich.

S soon as the sale is conﬁrmed.
you will receive a certiﬁcate of
title from the county treasurer.

After the period of redemption ex-
pires, which is the ﬁrst Tuesday in
May in the year following the sale,
you would be entitled to a deed from
the auditor general of the state. You
could then proceed to obtain a writ
of assistance to recover possession,
but before such a writ would be
granted, you would have to give the
former owner six months' notice of
your title.——Legal Editor.

WINTER INJURY

I Spy trees; one tree died this year and
I two 0r three more look as though
i they were also affected. The trees
I from above the ground look ﬁne but
} - just near the
‘ ground the bark

‘ when I put my

they would dig

like to hear from
you as to wheth—
er you think it’s
something in the

ease of the tree.
—F. W., Sebewaing, Michigan.

F the bark‘on your apple trees
I comes loose near the ground it
is a pretty good indication that
they are suffering from 'winter in-
jury at the collar. Begin cultivating
your orchard early in the spring and
stop all cultivation in July. Sow a
cover crop at the time of the last
cultivation. ,This should be done to
ripen the wood and thus prevent the
trees from entering the winter in a
soft and immature condition. Never
let the trees enter the Winter on bare
ground. Always have a cover crop
or mulch of some kind around‘the
:trees as a protection for the roots.
We,;would also advise you to make

:we can see these little yards are a
great convenience. There are only
two of them, each about 10 by 20
:met in size. An easy working gate
connects them and one is arranged
for loading hogs in a wagon. ,
yard is also provided with an open-
ing for running hogs into a crate.
They are adjacent to the straw cov-
ered shed in which the hogs sleep.
We ﬁnd these yards are the ﬁnest
thing for grading hogs, sorting out
some special one, etc. The fences
are simply gates in a way and are
wired to» solid posts at corners. Such
yards: are seldom found _on farms but
I am sure they would be much ap-
preciated if! they were once used. The
cost is not very great. We purchased
some oak inch lumber at a saw mill
last winter and some at the boards
are 5 or 6 inches wide. These were
ideal for these lot panels. ‘

But see the rain come! Get the
saw and other tools and My to the

take that engine to pieces and clean
it? It was new eighteen months ago
and has pumped water every other
.day since that time. A line shaft
connects it with a pump jack 40
feet outside. The engine has not run
just right and keeps getting worse,
still we never have had it to pieces
and it looks complicated. We will
tackle it and it we get into trouble
we will phone Frank, the engine
expert, to come out. Some job al-
right, and how it ever" run at all
with so much carbon in it, I don't
know- If we hurry I believe we will
get it together again before c-hore
time. There, put in a .little priming
gas and give it a twist With the
crank. Put, put, put, isn’t it a peach?
But it is time those hens were fed.
As the chores are ﬁnished it begins
to rain hard again,.but rain is so

omc-Madc Remedy
Stops Cough Quickly

Finest cough medicine you ever used.

Saves about $2.

 

 

 

 

Family supply easily made. J

 

You might be surprised to know that
the best thing you can use for a severe
cough, is a. remedy which is easily pre-
pared at home in just a few moments.
It’s cheap, but for prompt results it beats
anything else you ever tried. Usually
stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in
24 hours. Tastes pleasant—children like
it, and it is pure and good.

Pour 2% ounces of Pinex in a pint
bottle; then ﬁll it up with piairs granua-
lated sugar syrup. Or use clariﬁed honey,
instead of sugar syrup. Thus you make
a. full pint—a famin supply—but costing
no more than a small bottle of ready-
made cough syrup. 1

And as a cough medicine, there is really
nothing better to be had at any price. It
goes right to the spot and gives quick.
lasting relief. It promptly heals the in-
ﬂamed membranes that line the throat and
air passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon your
cough stops entirely. Splendid, too, for
bronchitis, hoarseness and bronchial asth-
ma.

Pinex is a highly concentrated com-
pound of Norway pine extract and palat-
able guaiacol, famous for healing the
membranes. '

To avoid disappointment, ask your drug-
gist for “2% ounces of Pinex" with di-
rections. Guaranteed to give abso- '
lute satisfaction or money promptly
refunded. The Pinex 00., t.

(Continued from November 19th issue)

slipped in, picked up two saddles, a

— couple of bridles and a couple of
saddle blankets and tossed them over the
fence. He crawled over and picked them
up. ‘ 'The door of the shed was in sight of
the men by the ﬁre.

Keeping the shed between himself’and
the men, Duncan went straight into the
timber, then turned north, crossed the trail
and reached another clump of woods. This
was the one he had pointed out to the
girl. At a safe distance from the trail, he
put the saddles and equipment down and
went back to look for mounts.

There were two rather good looking
geldings fairly close at hand. He led
them over into the same clump of trees,
found an open patch with good grass, and
left them there in hopes they wouldn't
stray far. He did not dare saddle them
until shortly before he ,was ready to
'leave.

As he started back. a faint cry came to
him. It echoed near at hand. He heard
the men calling to each other. What had
happened? He began to run toward the
cabins, and then. with a sudden fear of
discovery, turned back and hid the sad-
dles carefully. Someone hunting the horses
might ﬁnd them.

When he came in the open, there was
only one man in sight. He was turning
over the spades and shovels with a bored
air.

“More diggin'," he commented. “They
found Homer."

A man broke out of the timber at a run
and came panting up. ,

“Whisky, quick !” he cried. “Snake bit
me.”

It was Langdon. The other man hand-
ed him a dipper. Langdon’s hand shook
as he drank. His pant's leg was rolled
up to show a hairy ankle. One spot seem-
ed to be a little swollen; Bending over,
Duncan could see the punctures. ‘

“Hev you got the snake?" asked the
grave digger.

Langdon, still swallowing the whisky
as if it were the elixir of life, shook his
head. The other man grunted.

“You're as good as dead then," he said
sourly. “We’ll dig a grave wide enough
for two.”

Langdon threw down the dipper. “I'll
get it," he cried, and then moaned and
clutched his leg. He sat down and almost
sobbed over himself. He had found Hom-
er, dragged back in the brush. While
getting him out, a. snake had rattled, but
Langdon handn't been quick enough. No
use going back. He couldn't ﬁnd the
snake in time. Perhaps you didn't really
need the snake. Men had been cured
without it, hadn’t they? He, looked up
hopefully at the other men.

The snake bite expert shook his head.
“Only way to be sure," he insisted.
“Got to cut the snake up and lay it on
the bite. Then make a. poultice of boiled
leaves of chestnut. After that, burn the
snake all up. That fixes it."

Landon moaned again. More men came
out of the woods. The last four carried
a sagging ﬁgure between them, but the
leading man held a long rope like thing
aloft. '

“Jim got it," cried Langdon, and ran
forward to retrieve the dead body of the
snake that had bit him.

“Go out and get us some chestnut
leaves, son,” the other man instructed
Duncan. The boy went on a. run.

When he came back with his cap full,
the place was busy. Homer was stretched
out on one side with a. blanket oyer'him.
The men were digging away at the grave
for him. Most of the men hung around
Langdon, who had chopped the snake up
and laid its pieces on the blue puncture
on his ankle. The kettle was on the fire
and boiling. The leaves' were dumped into
it. '

NO one was at the sheds. Duncan

"Another drink, Lagdon.” said the snake
expert. “We’ll have you_ﬂxed in a min-
ute.” ‘ '. '

“I’ll get some more wood for the fire
Duncan offered quickly, and ran down to
the cabin. where the girl still lay. He
scratched together p. quick annnt of light
stuff and whistled as he worked. Out of
the corner of his eye he saw the door
open a crack. He Went back and dumped
his load. Duncan- shufﬂed up to the circle '

way readily. The drama. of life or death
held the crowd. ' Two men, much to Lang-
don’s distress, were betting as to whether
he would live.

‘She getting bigger right along," assertn
ed one, and added. "I guess you're done
for, Langdon."

"More whisky!” called theafﬂicted one.
Ain‘t them chestnut leaves ready yet?"

Duncan was outside the group. No
eyes were on him. He walked slowly
down the path toward the stables. No
challege came. His mind began to dart
ahead, to plan where they should 'rlde,
how they should throw their pursuers off.
He still kept a steady pace. No one was
watching him, but if they should look, he
was just a boy. mooning aolng.

He came to the stable, and glanced in
as he went past: Unconscioust he noted
the dirty hay on the floor, the bridles
hanging by the wall, the saddles ranged
along its foot. The ﬂank of a horse, stand-
ing half in and half out of the sunlight
at the other end of the shed showed gold.
en, a. spot of light in a scene otherwise
worked in shadows. All this he noted
with one part of his mind, while the other
part planned on. Yet in the second that
he was passing, the subconscious began
to tug at the conscious: he felt himself
staring _at a curous black spot by one
post. He paused, and in that instant he
came awake and elert with every sense.
Eyes had looked back «at him from the
darkness.

A man came toward him. He was dark.
with a. smudge of whiskers on each cheek
and a mouth that curled back far enough
to show three black and rotting teeth.

"What you up to?" he asked. -

How had this» fellow managed to stay.
away from the hullabolloo around the
ﬁre? Duncan cursed him for his contrai-
ness. What to do now There was a
knife in the man’s belt. A jump and it'
Vmight be secured. But could the fellow
be knifed before he yelled!

The man took him by, the shoulder and
shook him. ' ,

“Lazylng around," he said, almost as
to himself. “No discipline. I’ll show
him."

'llhere was a light whip lying on the ._
grass 8. foot away. The fellow picked it
up and lashed it across Duncan's shoul-
ders. His other hand pointed back along
the track.

“Get along!” he cried, and slashed
again.

The hot pain that tore the boy was as
nothing to the anxiety he felt. Had the
fellow seen the girl escape from the
cabin? Had he found the hidden saddles?
Had their plans been overheard? Or was
this just a bad-tempered prank?

They went slowly back along the path,
the whp seething down at every other
step. The man droned curses thru his
nose. Duncan wondered where the girl
was; if she had reached the grove yet.
He saw her waiting there. growing more
and more frightened when he didn't come,
The thought wrenched him. Why hadn’t
he knifed the fellow and run for it. when

Langdon now. Duncan's captor called to
them. A few turned.

“Lazying around,” the fellow repeated;
"but I’m learning :him. Why don't you
work? Going out to hide and go to sleep,
Were you ?”

The whip lashed again. Yet Duncan
felt a sudden relief. The fellow was
drunk and irritable; that was all. He
knew nothing.

More men began to come around the
two. "Talk broke out. There were sportive
suggestions. ‘

"Make him run the guantlet; that’ll
learn him.

The suggestion met favor. Duncan real, ’.

ized suddenly that they were drunk and
that he furnished diversion for them. He
had an inspiration and lifted his voice.
“Don’t hit me,” he screamed. "I was
just going after more chestnut leaves for
Langdon." , ' 4 ,
There was a commotion outside the
circle. Then the man who had bet that
Lengdon would live came thrusting thru. '
Two men stepped back. Duncan could

TEXT: "Man shall not live by bread
Alone, but by every word that proceedeth
oi oi the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4.

1 these words, Jesus Christ makes
personal. appropriation of the
lessons of revelation and of hu-

man experience. As a 'young ideal-

ist, he started out on a life of high-

est endeavor. He felt the urge of a

great and high calling. “My name

is Jesus”. he soliloquized, “who is to
redeem society." And about this
he sought audience with God in the
wilderness solitude. This commun-
'bn was so rapt and the soul ex-
perience so satisfying, that hunger
was suspended; the spirit had mas-
tered the flesh. Out of this spirit-
nl retreat, comes the utterance of
our next text. It was an annouce—
meat to the world by an upstart

Nazarene that society was living on

perilous levels. It was missing the

Kingdom of God. Therefore, to" be-

come its Savior, he pitches the bat-

tle of life on the highlands of world-
ly negation and of Godly faith.

Here he-liv'ed and ministered to the

most perfect extent of his God-given

. powers. Did he win? Listen! The
crisis is passed, and “the devil
leaveth him, and behold angels

came and ministered unto him.”
Will you ask again, “Did he win?"
0, it is the devil then that would
have us live after fleshly desires.
But we need bread, of course. We
must have it for health and happi-
ness. But are physical blessings
alone or chiefly the true end of life?
Ah, here is where the Gospel rubs
us hard. About these we are not
to be anxious. But isn’t the aver-
age life pitched on the low level of
material desire rather than on the
heights of spiritual achivement and
struggle for character? The cry of
starving babies, of tarnished moth-
ers, and of underpaid workmen for
better homes and a better living, is
Just. It accords with the social
principle of brotherhood and the
worth of the individual, as taught
by Jesus. Who of us wants to be
but a grinding cog in the industrial
machine and to be castaway when
worn a bit? Yet most of manual
workers need to see greater issues
in life than mere economic equality.
But this is well-nigh impossible as
long as society keeps the acquistive
motive ever on top. This is a heart-
less philosphy. It perpetuates a sys—
‘tem that makes human life cheap.
The worth of personality can not be
judged by physical measurements.
"Is not the life more than food, and
and the body than the rainment?"
One of the perverse standards of our
day is to judge a man by the size of
his pocket-book instead of the large-
ness of his soul. Our youth is be-
ing nursed in the lap of a mammom-
worshipping generation. Are we to
blame them for pitching their ten'ts
on the comfort-level of life? The
highest ambition that many of their
elders have set for them is a state
of economic independence.

“Well, pastor, if I keep on prosper-
ing, I can retire at forty,” said a
young pagan to the writer. So the
rich would be richer, and the poor
would be like them. The object of
‘life for mulitudes is but to lenghten
the chain of physical comforts.
They live for “bread alone” and in
practical defiance of Christian stand-
ards. '

Life is to be measured by "every
;word that proceedeth out of the
. mouth of God."
means, many words of the Gospel re-
} late to money in its effect upon life.
in we are to be Christian in any
:- worthy sense, we must realize the
; “Deceitfulness of money." That the
fmoney—system' is cruel, is a belief
not confined to a few. It has now
~more farms on its hands than can
readily be absorbed. And what
~abou‘t the farmless farmer? Now
that'is a humanitarian appeal. C89-

Any institution, political, social, in-
dustrial, or religious, motivated by
the spirit of self-preservation, for-
feits its‘right to be called Christian.
A good member of the "system"
wants to be a "regular fellow” be-
fore he is a Christian. Human val-
ues must be sacrificed to preserve
the institution. “Man’s inhuman-
ity to man makes countless thou-
sands mourn.”

Therefore, the proposal of Jesus to
live by every word of God, is yet un-
popular. What about the words, "You
cannot serve God and mammon."
Let poor and rich alike know that
the religion of Jesus is that inner
quality, of the. soul’s sincere desire.
What.do we desire most? Mammon?

This is death. Many plan their so"

cial heaven on the level of high
wages, better farms, more invest-
cars, etc. Now what is
These things are neu-
tral in themselves. They are neither
good nor bad. But they could
be used for good and therefore raise
the standard of living; but they are
often used to lower it because of
their power to trick us into believ-
ing that money is the essential need
of life. This is a. seductive “bread
alone" policy. To be comfortable,
we are yet too near the region of
the man who lifted up his eyes in
hell. And it might be Well for us to
seriously consider the reply made to
this money-monger's cry for relief:
“Son, remember that thou in thy
life-time receivedest thy good things,
‘. ’ ‘. and now thou art in anguish.”
This man allowed the desire for a
pursuit after money to cheat him
out of the superlative good things in
life. Verily, the danger of money
is its power to lure us away from
trust in God to trust in itself. Mam-
mon-worshlp is notoriously insidious.
All high teaching would keep us
Jesus' repeated
warning of money’s deceit shows it
up as the greatest hindrance to God-
liness.

What will it profit a man to live‘
for "bread alone" and thus forfeit the
finer things of the soul? This was
Jesus problem. He could have pitch—
ed his tabernacle on the miasmal
lowlands of the world, but he didn’t.

? ‘His soul longed for the at-
mo ere of beauty, harmony, love,
and brotherhood; even for God.
Don't yours? And don’t you know
that when you betray these aspira-
tion, you crush the ﬁnest ﬂowers of
life’s garden? The power of wealth
and church and state was doing just
this in Jesus’ day. It so stirred his
soul that he accepted the gage of
battle, and set himself to win en-
slaVed men into another and higher
Kingdom. By this be condemned
the “bread alone" standard of living
and placed the welfare of all men
and the love of God at the center of
any enduring civilization. For this
he was murderously defied and since
has been crucified afresh a thousand
times; yet, we are slowly awakened
to this millennial ideal as our one
hope, Let the church not keep si-
lent, but repent of her love of self
and of vested interests, and put lost
men on the path to the celestial
highlands. /

IT GOES FARTHER

OMEN who have  baking bread for years have
made this d'iscovery—Ceresota Flour absorbs more

water than ordinary flour.

Therefore, it makes more

bread and” is more economical. You get more leaves to

the sack, and the bread re-
mains moist longer.

Ceresota is a real health
ﬂour, equally ﬁne for bread
and pastry of all kinds. It
is unbleached, made of .se-
lected wheat only, under a
milling process which has
earned .for Ceresota the name
.“The Prize Bread and Pastry
Flour of the World”. .

CLUB WORK WINS

WEEPSTAKES in both the early and late
varieties at the Thumb of Michigan Potato
Show, at Mayville, last month were won by

two boys, around the age of seventeen, who are
interested in Boys’ and Girls’ Clubvwork. At the
Greenville potato show an eleven year old farmer
lad, living near Copemish, was crowned “cham-
pion of champions" by no less a person that Gov-
ernor Green when he won sweepstakes in compe-
tition with men old enough to be his grandfather.
This boy has been interested in potato club work
for the last two years and started off his prize
winning this fall by capturing ﬁrst prize on a
sample of his potatoes shown at the Manistee
county fair. He has a brother who is in pig club
work and has won several prizes on exhibits of
his pigs at fairs.

No use in talking, club work is sure making it
hard for Dad to keep ahead of the boys.

 

H. W. NORTON , JR.

. W. NORTON, JR... has resigned from the
position of Director of the Bureau of Animal
Industry in the State Department of Agri-
culture to become Superintendent of Advanced
Registry of the Holstein—Friesian Association of
America. -
Mr. Norton has long been a leader in Holstein
aﬁairs and much credit is due him for develop-
ment of the breed, not only at the State institu-
tions of Michigan but among private breeders as
well. He has served the people of Michigan very
efficiently and we regret to see him go. While
Michigan breeders are going to miss him we are
sure that they join with us in wishing him the
success that he deserves in his new position.

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS

ESS than a month until Christmas. But a
few more days and Christmas packages will
be an important. part of the daily mail.

Packages with "Do Not Open ’Til Xmas" on them
will be arriving at many homes. The spirit of
Christmas will be ﬁlling the air and the desire
to remember friends with gifts will be strong. It
is a wonderful time of year for both young and
old. All enjoy Christmas and are sorry to see it
pass.

Do not forget to get your packages into the
mail as early as possible, especially if they are to
travel some distance. When it gets to within a
week or so of Christmas the mails are so over
loaded that there is no telling when or in what'
condition a package may arrive. Mail your pack-
ages early and help the post oﬂ‘lce and bemore
sure that your gifts arrive in good condition.

Also do not forget to use plenty of Christmas
Seals put out by the tuberculosis associations.
You will use sealsanywsy so why not use those

W1!) are. very much encouraged over the way
the bean market has been actingthis tell.
_, The Michigan Bean Committee made a thor-
ough investigation of the situation and then came
out with the statement that growers should not
sell for less “$51.00 per hundmdweight. And
it looks very‘much as though most of the growers
are taking the adviué given them. _.

With most of the crop ingood condition there
is no reason why the growers can not have some-
thing to say about the price and if they will hold
their surplus, marketing it in an orderly way,
they will come out of it with some money in their
pockets.

Read the article on page three by Jae. N. Mc-
Bride, chairman of the Michigan Bean Commit-
tee. He tells some very interesting facts about
the market. '

 

our A COPY

E wonder how many of Michigan's motorists
are familiar with the laws that have to
do with the operation of automobiles they

drive. Could you state with certainty whether
or not you can drive your car one full day with-
out violating at least one law? If you can you are
one in a thousand, because few folks are informed
on all of our motor vehicle laws. Most of us
know a. little about a few laws and nothing about
most of them. Appreciating this, Secretary of
State John S. Haggerty, has had prepared a di-
gest of the Michian motor vehicle laws which is
being published in convenient form. If you are
not given a copy with your license plates this year.
ask for one. If they are not available at the
ofﬁce where you get your plates drop us a line
and we will see that you get a copy. Every driver
'of an automobile should carry a copy in his car,
but before he puts it in his car he should take
the time to read it through.

 

STEALING ALONG HIGHWAY.

CALHOUN county subscriber writes u com-

plaining about city ﬂorists who go into the

country in late October and early November
to pick bittersweet for commercial purposes. She
writes that vines along the roadside fences in
her neighborhood were stripped early this fall
by these vandals and when members of her
church went to gather some bittersweet for decor-
ating the church and to'sell to help pay expenses.
of operating they could ﬁnd none.

What would these same people have thought
of the farmers if they had returned to their cars
to ﬁnd tires and tools taken while they were
gathering bittersweet? They would have been
loud in their denouncement of the honesty of the
farmers, yet they have no more rig-ht to the
bittersweet growing on the farmers' fences than
the farmers have to their toms and tires. The
trouble is that city people are not well enough
informed regarding our laws and the newspapers
and other agencies in the cities are not bringing
them to their attention at the proper time.

 

DO NOT SEND MONEY

NE mistake that many people make is the
sending of currency through the mail. Often
times they order something from a mail

order house sending the money loose in the our
velope with the order. Maybe they receive what
they order and maybe they do not. Maybe the
company receives the money and maybe they do
not. If they do not receive the money they are
not going to ﬁll the order and you can not blame
them for that. You may think they received it
but what proof have you got? The well-known
mail order houses with reputations for honest
dealing want to on your orders but if the money
is lost " between the time the letter leaves your
mailbox and when it is delivered to the company
how can they be blamed? 0r possibly not even
the letter reached them. Then there is the ﬂy-

‘ by-night concern that might not acknowledge re-

ceipt of the currency even thought they had
plenty of evidence that it was received in their
emcee.

Send your personal check or a money order ,

when ordering anything by mail. Then. you will
have a record of it so that if any difﬁculties arise
you can furnish proof of your claims.

Will you please look up the Glen-

have an once in the Triangle Bldg.,

$125 in stock in this company and
have had no returns. Lately heard
they were not honest. Our stock
dates from Nov. 12, 1924. Any in-
formation that you can give us will
be appreciated—Reader, Ottawa

T looks very much as though you
I can charge your $125 up to ex-
perience. The oﬂice of the Book
Building in Detroit advises that their
records do not show this company a
one of their tenants, while the Grand
Rapids Association of Commerce
state they know nothing about this
company. Also we have a letter
from Oklahoma telling us that a
check of the records of the State
Corporation Commission fails to show
any record of the company. It is
through this commission that every
oil company’operating in Oklahoma
shall make a report once a year and
"pay its taxes. The company seems
never to have made report to the
department. Further, a check of the
records of the State Issues Depart-
ment does not show that this com-
pany every received permission to
sell its stock in that state.

From the, iniomatlon we have
been able to get it looks very much
as though this company qualiﬁes on
the same basis as a good many other
companies organized a few years ago
in Oklahoma. It was probably a ﬂy-

CANNING AND CURING MEATS
AT HOME

N the last few days we have re-
ceived several requests for in-
structions on how to put away

meats for future use; also sOme of
our good friends have sent us in
the methods with which they experi-
ence the most success. This being
the case, we thought a discussion on
home canning and curing of meats
would be welcomed at this time.

Canning Meats

A steam pressure cooker is the best out-
ﬁt, but a wash boiler can be ued with
an equal amount of success, except that a
wooden or galvanized rack is necessary to
raise the jars from the bottom to pre-
vent breakage and allow free circulation
of the water. All meat should be from
healthy animals or fowls and should be
in ﬁrst class condition. Be sure that all

, animal heat is out of the meat. Broiling,

roasting, frying. and stewing are the best
methods to preserve the distinctive ﬂavor.
All parts of the animal should be used.
The larger pieces are roasted; the loin
may be used for steak or roast: the
smaller pieces cut from the bones are gen-
erally used for stew or are ground up for
sausage; the bones make delicious soup
stock.

Beef, ,veal. mutton, lamb, pork and
fowl are all canned by the same general
recipe. Rinse the Jar and rubber with
hot water, then ﬁll with cooked or un-
cooked meat to within one-half inch of
the top. (Canned raw meat will have the
ﬂavor of boiled or steamed meat.) Fill
the jars with boiling water or gravy to
cover the meat. When the jars are ﬁlled,
place the cover and tighten, turning back

. oneoeigth of a turn, Place in the can-
5’her and cook the length of time given in
the time table for processing. Begin to
count time when the water boils or when
the gauge has reached the pressure de-
sired. When the processing is ﬁnished,
remove the jar from the container and
. tighten the cover at once.

Boast Meat. Follow usual recipe for

roasting meat or fowl. Baste often, cook
‘ , thoroughly, but not until‘entirely tender.
,‘Remove from the oven and slice or cut
into pieces that wiil'ﬁt into the jar. With
fowl, meat may be cut from the bones if
desired. Pour the gravy over the meat
and ﬁll to within one-quarter inch of the
top. Complete by following general di-
rections for canning.

Soup Stock. Remove all meat from the
bones; crack the bones with a cleaver or
hatchet, then place them in a large kettle
and cover with cold water. Simmer (do
not boil) for six or seven hours. Strain
and pour into hot jars. Complete by fol-
lowingg general directions for canning.

Dry Cure. For every 100 lbs. of meat
use 8 lbs. salt, 3 lbs. sugar, 2 oz. salt-
peter. (If the plain salt cure is desired,
omit sugar.) Mix ingredients well. Spread
one-half of mixture on a table. Place
each piece of meat separately in the bed

sure the mixture is applied well to all
surfaces. Pack in a box or a barrel and

was on top and vice versa. Allow hams
and shoulders 3 days to the pound in the
cure and the bacon about 21 days. After
removing from the cure, wash with cold
water and allow to hang 24 hours before
,smoking.
Smoking Meat

Hardwood is preferable to soft wood for
smoking. Green hickory, maple, and ap-
ple are the best fuels. Resinous woods
should never be used. Corncobs make a
satisfactory fuel but deposit carbon on the
meat, giving it a dirty appearance.

The meat should be hung 6 or 7 feet
above the ﬁre. Be sure that the pieces
do not touch. The time required ._ for
smoking meat depends on the taste of the
individual; usually from 36 to 48 hours
will give the desired color to the meat.
This may be done by continuous smoking
or by renewing the smoke 2 or 3 hours
each day.

In case the meat cannot be left con-
veniently in the smoke house, each piece
should be wrapped in paper and placed in
muslin .bags and suspended in a dry,
well-ventilated building. Enclose the meat
entirely in the bag. The bags of meat
can be painted with a yellow wash which
insures less loss of moisture. For 100
lbs. of meat use 3 lbs. barium sulphate,
1 oz. of dry glue, 1% oz. chrome yellow,

How to Make Wool Flowers

E have had so many more re-
quests than we anticipated for
directions how to make thoss

popular shoulder bouquets that we
decided we would just have to pub-
lish the instructions.

Bouquet No. 1: Cut a piece of

'stiff cardboard about half an inch

wide and two inches long. At each
end, parallel to the length and about
an eighth of an inch from the top,
cut a slit about a quarter of an inch
long. And in the center of the bot-
tom line, and at right angles to it,
cut ano‘ther slit about a quarter of
an inch long. Cut a piece of heavy
linen thread about ﬁve or six inches
long, place it the length of the card-
board and catch each end ﬁrmly in
the slits. This will be easier to work
with if it is pulled to the left and
only about half an inch of the thread
remaining at the right end. Select-
ing the wool which is to be used for
the ball, draw one end (about three
inches in length) through the per-
pendicular slit at the center of the
bottom edge. Then holding this
ﬁrmly in position with the left hand,
begin to wind the wool from the long
piece 'over and over the cardboard,
spreading it evenly but being care-
ful not to spread it too much. Wind
around at least sixty times; clip the
thread. Detach each end, of thelinen
thread, pull it together as far as pos-
sible, " then (by slipping: thin sharp

  

scissors beneath the wool at the bot-
tom, cut the" wool threads in half
and quickly tie the tops in one bunch '
with linen thread. Tie this very se-
curely and then clip the ends.
Thread green wool for the stems,
draw through the center of the ball
and back, making the stems of
double threads. Each ﬂower should
have a different stem length. There '
may be nine or eleven of these balls
in a bunch. ' ‘ ,

Bouquet No. 2: This bouquet con-
sist of 36 small ﬂowers, each made
over a pencil. Holding the pencil in
the left hand, place along its length
a 10-inch piece of green wool, pulled
along so that at the right end it is ,
even with the pencil. Then with ’
the wool which has been selected for
the ﬂower, begin winding oround the
pencil, 20 times being sufficient. Pull
the long under thread through to the
right so that there is an even amount

on each end of the wound thread.
Pull it together as far as possible and
slip all off the pencil, then pull tight-
ly together abd tie securely. Thread
one end of the. greeh thread, bring
it up through the center of the ﬂow-
er and make a French knot, pull
back through and bring it together
with the other part of the stem.

If you are successful in making
these bouquets. you might try sell-
ing them in‘your neighborhood-T -J
may bring you some‘r“pin -money.”_ _

Sausage Making
Scraps and trimmings are net-ally
used: if the shoulder is not cumgeit may
be made into sausag . Grind 8 parts lean
meat and 1' part fat through a medium
_ plate of the sausage grinder. If some
beef is preferred, use 3 parts lean pork.
1 part fat, and 1 part lean beef. Seaso-
as follows: to every 50 lbs. of, ground
meat use 1 lb. salt and 2% oz. but
pepper. If desired, add 3 ' oz. powdered
sage. Mix well. It is now ready to etuﬂ
in casings or use in_ bulk. If put in cas-
ings, small intestines of hog should be
thoroughly cleaned at the time animal h
killed. A little water may be added to the
ground meat to allow it to slip easily
into the casings. Smoke cased sausage

for about 2 hours. -

THREEMOREWEEKsm
CHRISTMAS

ELL, family, have you been
thinking about Christmas? We
are going v to really conscien-

tiously plan to give everyone on our
gift list something to suit his or her
particular needs, no matter how
simple and inexpensive the ‘gift.
aren't we? “Duty” presents, you
know, are a subtle but sure insult.
There is no joy in that kind of giv-
ing, much less in the receiving.

Do you remember the fuzzy bath-
robe and fetching pajamas we told.
you about last time? Well, here, they '
are pictured for you. The pajamas ‘

 

come in four sizes, 8 to 14 years:
the bathrobe also in four sizes, 6 to
12 years. You may order the pat-
terns by size and‘number in the
regular way from our Pattern De-
partment. '

Have you heard about the new
patchwork pillows? They are lovely.
and can be made according to quilt
block designs. 'One novel pillow is
made of small square blocks set
together with an appliqued ﬂower or
basket design on every alternate
block. Calico and gingham are pop-
ular materials for these pillows.

A glass or two of your choice pre-
serves or‘ jelly w apped up in gay
paper and prettin tied will make a
toothsome gift for some family.

For the young married couple, a
braided rug lends a feeing of added
coziness to any room. ’

New clothes for old dollies make
the young daughter, niece, or grand-
daughter sit up and take renewed
interest. . '

SWEET GENEVIEVE

O, Genevieve, I'd give the world

To live again the lovely past!

But now it withers in the blast.

My waking thoughts are full of‘thee.
Thy glance is in the starry beam
That falls along the summer Bea.

)' For the Movie Fan

3:;

Seventh Heaven.—-There are only a few
st us who can boast of having reached
this lofty eminence even momentarily, but
 and Diane made it their home.
Chico, played by Charles Farrell, is a
Paris sewer man who aspires to the dis-
tinction of street washer; and to be as
far removed at night from his lowly
trade as possible he'has his residence on
the seventh and top ﬂoor of a tenement
building Where he can “live next to the
Its.rs.”‘ To this garret home he brings
Diane, Janet Gaynor, in an impulsive
mood of pity and protection, who promptly
turns it into a. paradise for two. But like
all earthly paradises their’s, too, is a
house of cards. There comes the blow of
bugles and the tramp of many feet, and
Giico marches away to war.

But the play has its share of humor as
well as sadness and laughs occur fre-
quently. One of the most remarkable and
amusing pai‘ts of the entire picture shows
the French army gomg to battle 'in taxi
abs, and thus frustrating the German
advance on Paris. Again we feel the thrill
of Ithe Great_ War and the excitement of
Armistice Day!

The story proves conclusively to all
deptics that true love has a wireless
all its own and can communicate even
though separated by a. vast expanse of
miles." By'this means, Diane knows Chico
b be living in spite of the fact that he is
leported dead. However, she is only hu—
man and the force of circumstantial evi-
dence almost crushes her faith. But at
the crucial moment, when the tragedy
seems impossible to avert, Chico bursts
open the door. How he escapes death we
are not given to know, but, of course, as,
he himself insists, he is “a. very remark-
able fellow.”

Besides being the biggest, Scouting
has been called repeatedly the best.
Leaders in all walks of life agree on
that. Educators, ministers of all

The Scout is democratic

Many rural residents. have thought

{things You Gain

First, Scouting gives a boy whole-

trying your products
to market

HIS year 1,066,992 carloads of farm and animal products

have been hauled by New York Central Lines.

In one

great train these cars would extend 8,800 miles, or nearly
three times across the continent.

To move your products promptly is one of the chief tasks of
the New York Central. To have cars when and where you
want them is no light task in itself. Some idea of its magni-
tude is gained from the equipment that is now in use-
127,822 box cars, 5,753 stock cars, 2,700 caboose cars, 13,862
refrigerator cars and 5,100 passenger coaches. These are

hauled by more than 6,000 locomotiVes.

During 1927, 115

locomotives and 5,808 cars have been purchased.

To study your needs and cooperate in the interests of more
successful farming is the purpose of the Agricultural Relatiom
Department. By working closely with you, this department
hopes that it may help you make 1928 more prosperous

than 1927.

HE other day, a prominent farm paper editor

made this startling state!nent: If the average
dairyman would sell a third of his cows -- even
letting a blind man pick out the ones to keep —-
and feed the remaining two-thirds according to the
latest methods, he would make more money with
a third less work. And he proved it with ﬁgures!

“BATION FOR cows

Would'iyou help me with a ration
for my cows? They are fat and are
getting more so, instead of giving
the milk they should. I am feeding
ground oats, barley, and peas, alfal-
fa and silage, also cottonseed meal.
Please give rations in pounds, a'nd
I will buy whatever is needed to bal-
ance what I have. There is water in
the barn. I have fourteen cows and
I need the mllk.-_—H. K., Ypsilanti,
Michigan. °

0U should be able to formulate a.
very desirable ration from these
concentrates to go with these

roughages. It is j'usttpossible that
the trouble is not with the ration but
with the cows you have becauseyou
might have a. very desirable ration
to feed but if the cows have an in-
herited tendency to get fat rather
than to turn the food into milk they
will not prove to be proﬁtable pro—
ducers.

I would suggest a. ration that
would contain 300 pounds ground
corn, 300 pounds ground barley, 200
pounds ground peas and ma pounds
This is a ration
that should furnish a sufficient
amount of protein and total diges-
tible nutrients to the cattle if it is
fed in proportion to the amount of
milk and the test of the milk that
the cows are producing. I would
suggest feeding this ration at the
rate of one pound of grain to'three
pounds of milk produced, if you have
cows that test around ﬁve per cent.
On the other hand, if you have cows
that test around three and a half per
cent this ration should be fed at the
rate of one pound of grain to three
and a half pounds of milk produced.
I would also recommend feeding one
pound of alfalfa hay and three
pounds of silage to each cow per one
hundred pounds live weight.—J. E.
Burnett; Assoc. Proi. of Dairy Hus-
bandry, M. S. C. ,

FEEDING BUCK WHEAT

I have a. quantity of buck wheat
and I thought I would grind it and
use it for winter feeding. What pro-
portion should I use to mix with
other grains for dairy cows? Also
what proportion would be advisable
to mix with ground barley for hogs?
-——W. J. E., Caro, Mich. '

 

 

S a hog feed buck wheat is*

slightly less valuable than

wheat middlings. In combina-
tion with ground barley I would not
feed more than one-third buck
wheat. Buck wheat and barley are
both carbonaceous feeds. If you do
not have skim milk to feed these
pigs with the barley and buck wheat
you should purchase some pr tein
supplement such as digester tan age
or skim milk using one—tenth part of
tankage by weight or one-eighth
part of oil meal. If cull beans are
available they might supply protein,
feeding a. mixture of one-third each
of ground barley, ground buck wheat

and cooked cull beans—Geo. A.’

Brown, Professor in Animal Hus-
bandry, M. S. C. ~

KILLING HORNE

Will you please tell me if caustic
will take the horns oil! a seven-
months-old calf and if it would be
injurious in so doing?——E. M. B.,
Alauson, Mich.

AUSTIC potash is the drug gen-
erally used for this purpose, but
‘ it will not kill the horns on a
calf seven months of age. For best
results, it should be used on a calf
when three weeks of age.—-Prof. J.
P. Hutton, Division of Veterinary
Medicine, M. S. C.

’.  'URING‘ the five years .of :the
Michigan Contest we have been
confronted with the eternal

question of "When is an egg an egg
officially?” V
’ We started out by considering
anything with a sound shell which
was marketable an egg, and gave it
for such. We found that too many
of the high records which were be-
ing established were being made by
hens which insisted on producing
mall eggs. While the number of
eggs which a hen is capable of pro-
ducing in a year or. in her lifetime
is doubtless the -most important fact-
or in determining the prefit which
she will net the owner, the size of
the egg is now becoming an import-
ant factor in egg marketing.

Last year the Michigan Contest
adopted a ruling which had been
agreed upon by the the managers of
ﬁle official contest. This ruling
considered an egg which failed to

        

 mac um idim'est

      





weigh 18 ounces to the dozen from;

November first to January thirtieth,

or 20. ounces to the do‘zen from “Jan-
uary thirtieth to the end of the con-
test as unofficial, and in the Mich.=
Contest these eggs were not credit-
ed to hens or pens. The result of
this record will reveal some inter-
esting figures.

Out of 197,796 eggs that were pro-
duced in the Michigan Contest last
year, 3,791 of these were too small
to receive credit. This is a --small
average per hen, being only 3.7 eggs.
In studying the contest summary,
we find that out of ‘the 100’ pens;
which were entered. one, pen pro-
duced 349 'small eggs and .1794 .
which were large enough towcount.
Two other pens produced over 200
small eggs; while seven more had be— ‘
tween 100 and 200 eggs of this type
at the end. of the‘year. Only three ‘
pens of the 100 were sucess‘ful in get-
ting by without any under weight

There was no' question that this,

  

System was doing» a great deal to pc-
nalize pens which were producing
small 8888, but it was giving no
additional credit to breeders who
had been sucessful in keeping up the
egg: size of their ﬂocks. V
The new contest. is, therefore,
adopting 'a new system of deter-
mining the ;value o'f‘eggs according
to their weight. " This system is not
original ,, with the ‘manager v- of the

,Michigan Contestpf but is designed

after the Candian system, where it
has been sucessfully V employed for
some time. ‘ '  * - '

In 1927-1928 a 24 ounce egg in
the Michigan Contest -‘ will ’reéeive
one point, and .1 of a point will be
added for each ounce per dozen over
24 up to 27. Eggs weighing 27
ounces .per dozen or more will not
receive any additional credit, but
will be given a value of 1.3 points.

—For each ounce per dozen under 24,

.1 of a point will be be deducted, so

9' m . t, as.j19‘e.¢unce 
of a point; _a' 15+ounce’egg‘: for .1
of a point, While a 14-ounce eggewill
receive no credit at all.

The following scale gives the point
value of eggs by weight:

pass, and other common outdoor
tools. Cooking, swimming,map mak-
ing and a host of other subjects val-
uable to the farmer as well as to the
town dweller.

Third, Scouting teaches loyalty. to
high ideals of clean living and service
which are needed by all boys alike.

Ways to Become a Scout

There are three ways that country
boys can be Scouts. The ﬁrst is to
organize a troop under the sponsor-
ship of a farmers’ club, grange,
church, or school. This organization
appoints a troop committee to super-
‘vise the work of the troop and to
ﬁnd a man who will be Sco’utmaster.
The meeting place can be in a school
house, church, or club hall, or in a
home. Any number of boys from 8
to 32 may constitute a troop.

Where the farms are too far apart
for the boys to have a central meet-
ing place, where fewer than 8 boys
can be gotten together, or where no
organization can be found to spon-
sor a troop, the next step is to or-
ganize a farm patrol. This may con-
sist of ﬁve to eight boys with a
committee of three fathers acting as
sponsors and appointing. a Scout-
master. X

In sparsely settled regions, or
where no Scoutmaste'r can be found,
the boys may register as Lone Scouts.
They will be registered through Tm:
MICHIGAN BUSINESS Farms}: at the
national headquarters of the Boy

Scouts oflAmerica and will have the.

same privileges as Scouts in troops
or patrols.

They must secure the interest and
assistance of some father, teacher,
minister, or county agent who will
give them their tests. Where-.t1here
are several Lone Scouts in a neigh-
borhood, weekly or monthly meet-
ings may be arranged and. a tribe
may be formed. Between meetings
many tribes keep in touch by means
of “round robin" letters.

Any of our readers, whether boys
or parents, who are interested in
forming Boy Scout troops, farm pa-
trols, or in joining as Lone Scouts,
may write to the “Scouting Editor,"

Readers who ﬁnd colds or roup

‘ starting in their ﬂocks will be inter-

ested in a letter written by Thomas
Pnlliam, 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 ﬁgple
let t eir birds die with roup, when 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 Rou -Over, applied to the
nostrils, will usual y banish every symp-
tom in one day. Better still, a. few drops
used in the drinking water guards the
whole ﬂock againt roup, colds, and other

the Record of Performance trwpnesting
carried on in Ohio this year for the ﬁrst
time. The work is under the supervision
of the Ohio Poultry Improvement Associa-

the established rules for high producing
hens. She is ﬁnite wild, oversize, with u

SELLING T. B. CHICKENS.

Is it lawful to test chickens for
T. B. and then dispose of them by
selling them to Detroit, to get com—
pensation for them?.—Mrs. C., Ches-
aning, Mich.

HE tuberculin testing of chickens
is practically in its infancy and
there are no speciﬁc laws re-

garding the disposition of chickens
which may react to the test, although
transactions of this kind are covered
by the general statutes relating to
live stock, and poultry through a re-
cent legislative act has been declared
to be live stock. Of course, any
chicken which has been tested and
passed the test can be disposed of as
the owner sees ﬁt. Reactors to the
test are birds which have been dem-
onstrated to be diseased and should
not be oﬁered for sale, unless the
purchaser has full knowledge of the
condition present, and are not eligi-
ble for use as human food unless
subjected to a proper examination,
and passed by some qualiﬁed person.

The difficulty in proﬁtably diSpos-
ing of reacting chickens at the pres-
ent time is largely due to the meth-
ods of marketing which do not pro-
vide for dressing the chickens in a
manner that would permit of a prop—
er examination.

It a ﬂock of chickens is tested
and only a few reactors are found,
the best procedure, insofar as the
disposition of those birds is con—
cerned, would be to kill and bury,
or burn, them on the premises.—
B. J. Killham, State Veterinarian.

Costs Nothing to Try

A letter from Miss Dama Wright,
Vernonia, Ore., has a real idea for
chicken raisers who are not getting
plenty of eggs. She says:

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

Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tab-
lets which Miss Wright used, are opening
the eyes of chicken raisers all over Amer-
ica. The tablets can be obtained from the
BurrelI-Dugger Co.. 264 Postal Station
Bldg, Indianapolis, Ind. Poultry raisers
whose hens are not laying well should
send 50 cents far a trial package (or 81
for the extra large size, holding three
times as much). Don Sung is positively
guaranteed to do the work or money
promptly refunded, so it costs nothing to
try. Right now is the time to start giv-
ing Don Sung to your hens, so you will
have a good supply of fresh
eggs all winter.

I was badly ruptured while lifting a

only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got

the rupture has never returned. although
I am doing hard work as a carpenter.
There was no operation, no lost time, no

OST farm products are selling
M higher than a year ago and
the upward trend was the rule
toward the end of November. Noth-
ing seems particularly * low except
beef cattle, hogs and one or two of
the feed grains, and even these are
well above the low points of-some re-‘
cent years. Light production of fruit
has been oﬂset by higher prices. 0n
th‘e whole, the buying power of av—
erage farmers seems nearer normal
than for some time past and there
have been reasons for thankfulness
in the signs of improvement, however
slow and uneven it may be.
Yield per acre counts more for
‘ prosperity than the total production
does. Crops are three per cent above
the ten-year average yield per acre.
The showing would be better but for
the light crop of fruits. Other pro~
ducts except cats are close to aver-
age and some far above. Most states
have at least a fair yield of farm
crops. Florida is the only one fall-
. ing below ninety per cent of the ten-
year average. Most of the North and
the West is above average. The
South is a little below, but likely to
do well because of the fairly high
price of cotton. The best crop show-
ing is in Montana which has crops 50
per cent better than the State’s ten-
year average, a. welcome change from
drouhty years one after another.
vAmong the crops, flax shows the high-
est yield and apples about the low—
est, compared with average.
Cattle and Hogs
The lower grades of fed steers de-
clined around 50c at Chicago soon
after the middle of November and
the lower grades of cows and heifers
lost 15c to 25c, while fat beef cows
and the more desirable heavy heifers
sold strong to unevenly higher. Veal
calves declined 50c and the lower

grades of'stocker and feeder cattle

lost 25c to 50c, choice‘stockers and
feeders holding up well. Few fed

steers sold above $18, the bulk at'

$12.50 to $16 with 30 to 90 day fed
kinds predominating. Heavy Cana—
dian grass steers sold up to $15, most
western grassers for slaughter sell-
ing at $10.35 to $12.50. The better
grades of hogs ZOO—pound up were
selling at Chicago 500 to 65c lower,
the lighter weights 50c to 7 5c lower,
packing sows 35c to 50¢ lower, and
pigs 75c to $1 lower than a week
earlier. Closing top was $9.25 with
the better grades of hogs scaling 230
to soc-pound selling to the best ad-
vantage and hulking at $8.90 to
$9.25. Desirable 150 to zoo-pound
closed at $8 to $8.75 largely, bulk of
pigs at $7.25 to $7.75 and most pack-
ing sows from $7.50 to $8.

Sheep

The 11~market supply of fat lambs
for the week was 43.000 less than
the week previous. Fed native and
fed western lambs topped at $14.10,
the bulk selling at $13.25 to $14.
Sheep held generalty steady with
most fat ewes selling at $6.25 to
$6.75. Feeding lamb supply was
gig“, quality plain and demand lim-
t .

Wool
Wool has been in better demand in
eastern markets and prices were ﬁrm
near the end of November, with con-
siderable activity in territory stock.
Foreign markets also reported prices
well sustained.

Butter

Butter and cheese prices have held

ﬁrm with output decreasing. Some-
what larger reserves of storage butter
tend to limit the sale of all but the
best grades of the fresh make. Real~
ly fancy butter is by no means in
heavy supply.

Eggs have been selling lower than
a year ago much of the time, owing
to heavier supply. Demand has been
unsatisfactory except for fancy stock.

Light to moderate supply of turk-
on led to periods of high prices

lowing arrival of cooler weather did
not raise the price. Poor grades
sell hard and rule slightly lower in
some markets.
Fruits and Vegetables
Most fruits sell high. Cranberries
reched $20 per barrel in some

Thanksgiving markets and Greening

apples brought over $10 per barrel.
Vegetables no more than hold their
own as a group and there were small
price declines in potatoes and onions
in late November. for no particular
reason it seemed except slight excess
of held supply in some markets. The
southern truck season is starting
early and producers seem inclined to
grow larger acreage. '

Since our last issue there has been
several advances in the price of OH?
beans and at one time they reached
$5.50 at some points. but this did
not hold long as supplies were liberal
and the trade did not appear anxious
to take many at that ﬁgure. Buyers

Week of December 4
HILE some parts of Michigan
may receive locally, heavy pre—
cipitation, it is expected that
the state as a whole will average
drier than usual. Temperatures dur—
ing this same period are also ex—
pected to show a. somewhat abnormal
condition with conditions moderate
enough, perhaps. to effect the price
ol.’ eggs and other commodities that
should sell better with low thermal

readings. .
During the early days of the week
precipitation will be moderately

heavy; in many counties with the
temperatures"moderately cool. Gen-
erally fair to unsettled weather con—
ditions will rule generally over the
middle days of the week but become
more deﬁnite in character along
about Thursday with showers or
snow ﬂurries.

Much colder weather with some
storminess as well as fair weather
will occur during closing days. of the
week.

Week of December 11.

A cOntinuation of weather: some-
what similar to last week is expected
this week, that is, precipitation be-
low seasonal normal and tempera—
tures above normal. There will be
considerable unsettled, changeable
weather this week.

At the very beginning ol.’ the week
of the 11th will be unsettled and
windy. As the middle of the week

approaches storm conditions will be!

come more deﬁnite in character with
wind storms and local sleet.

During the .middle part of the
week the weather will become more
pleasant but with temperatures drop-
ping so that the end of the Week
readings will e somewhat below the'
seasonal normal.

Probably the greatest precipita—
tion of the week will occur during
the closing days of this week quickly
followed by clearing weather and
change to much’ colder.

More than 50,000 people attended

SHE covered the bowl carefully, and settled herself
to read. The book was interesting—she readron
and on—until suddenly she realized that she’d let the
apple-cake rise ﬁfteen minutes too long.

It might have been a sad occasion. If her flour had
been of the hair-trigger variety, the cake might have
been coarse in texture, full of large holes—in general,
a sorrowful sight. '

But not with Pi‘llsbury’s Best Flour. Here is a ﬂour
of generous uality—such minor accide‘nts, as might
upset a ﬂou ess perfectly milled, have no effect on

the things you bake with Pillsbury’s Best.
Pillsbury’s Best Flour is milled to a higher quality

than is required by the ideal conditiOns of a labora— '

tory test kitchen. It is milled to meet the demands of
the ordinary home kitchen, where accidents will
happen to the best of cooks. .

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