tateProgram For Corn Borer Clean-Up in 192

i A Big JOb: Was Done During 1927 But a Still Larger One New, Faces Farmers

HE European corn borer clean-up

' area for 1928 comprises 32

entire counties and portions‘ of
ﬁve others, according to the quaran-
tine issue recently by Herbert E.
Powell, State Commissioner of Agri-
culture.

Included in the area are the entire
Counties of Alcona, Alpena, Arenac,
Bay, Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Clint-
on, Eaton, Genesee, Hillsdale, Huron,
Ingham, Iosco, Jackson, Lapeer, Len-
awee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe,
Montmorency, Oakland, Ogemaw, Os-
coda, Presque Isle, Saginaw, Sanillac,
Shiawasee, St. Clair, Tuscola, Wayne,
and Wastenaw.

The following townships are also
included in the area: Cheboygan
county, townships of Maple Grove,
Forest, Waverly, Aloha, Grant and
Benton; Gladwin county, townships
of Bourette and Sheridan; Kalama-
zoo county, townships of Wakeshma,
Brady, Schoolcraft, Texas, Portage,
Pavilion, Climax, Charleston, Com-
stock, Kalamazoo, Cooper, Richland,
and Ross; Midland countyrtownships
of Ingersoll, Mt. Haley, Lee, Homer,
Midland, and Larkin; and St. Joseph
county, the townships of White Pige-
on, Sturgis, Farm River, Burr Oak,
Shaman, Colon, Nottawa, and Leon-
idas.
‘ ' Regulations

The regulations governing the 1928
clean-up, and promulgated by Com-
missioner Powell, are virtually the
same as those in effect during the
successful campaign of 1927. Brieﬂy
stated, the regulations provide that
all corn refuse in form and condition
to harbor living European corn bor-
ers shall be disposed of in the quar-
antined area prior to May 1,1928.

Some changes, however, have been
made in this year’ s rules. All coarse
stemmed weedsiwithin cornﬁelds are
required to be destroyed. Then, too,
corn refuse which is plowed under or
treated by special iﬁeld methods shall
be handled in such manner that the
surface is kept clean betwen May 1
and July 10, according to the regula-
tions. This is to guard against any
material being brought to the sur-
face during tillage operations. The
surface must be kept clean during
the period when the c'orn borer moths
are known to emerge. >

It is explained that the need of a.
clean surface cannot be overemphae
sized in the control of the European
corn borer.
of the corn borers in a ﬁeld. A lot
of them come to the. surface. In-

stinct tells the pest that it must;

come out of the ground if it is to
change into a. moth. For this rea-
son, the borer comes to the surface
and looks for something to hide in so
that .it may complete its life cycle. If
the surface of the land is clean, the
pest can ﬁnd no harbor and soon dies
when exposed to the elements and the
attacks of predatory animals.
Few Exemptions

While tolerance is not conducive
to complete control, certain exemp-
tions are made in the regulations for
this year. ”'The moat important is
' that fast corn stubble which are not

over two inches in height above the, --

soil surface in clean cornﬁelds are
exempted from the clean-up. It is
pointed out, however, that such stub.

height. that no. tolerance in this re-
' , ( allowed, and that all

Plowing does not kill all _

bl‘e cannot be over two inches in .‘"- 0'

The other exemption applies to
corn crop parts, remnants, and other
or ﬁnely ground, or completely plow-
ed under, burned or tramped into
and completely covered by manure,
then it is exempt from the clean-up
regulations.

The regulations make‘it clear that
they apply not .only to farmers’ ﬁelds
but also to gardens, barns, barnyards,
feeding lots, canning factories, grain
elevators, stock yards, stock pens,
loading chutes, and similar places.
The regulations also apply to all

cities and incorporated villages in
the area deﬁned as under quarantine.
To sum_ up, the two important
changes in the regulations for 1928
are that coarse stemmed weeds with-
in cornﬁelds are included in the
residues. If this material has been
made into silage, or ﬁnely shredded,
clean-up, and that fast corn stubble
which are not over two inches in
height in otherwise clean ﬁelds are
exempted from the clean—up.

Predicts Bill Would Have Saved Hog Market

By JAS. N. MCBRIDE

CONTRIBUTED to your paper re-

cently an article on beans and

since pork goes with beans this
article will be about pork prices,
which are a solar plexas blow to the
Michigan farmer who has pinned his
faith on the “Mortgage Lifters.”

At the eleven principal hog mar-
kets of the United States there were
marketed in 1926, 7,092,575 head of
hogs and last year, 7,724,216. These
additional 631, 637 hogs cost the

. farmer 42 million dollars, apparently,

for of the whole number marketed he
got that much more for the smaller

number of hogs sold in 1926 than

the larger number of 1927.
Without getting down to exact
cents, the loss on the average hog
marketed this fall has been close to
$5.00. Some force or power came

along and said “$5.00 please” and the
farmer handed it over by taking that
much less per head.

On the whole it is doubtful if there
was any actual surplus, for reducing
the heavier weights of the 1926 crop

owing to cheaper feed, there was ap-
parently only 95 million pounds of
live weight more, with the addition-
al population increase of one million
potential consumers each year.

President Coolidge’s last message
to Congress stated in connection with
farm relief measures that “there was
no sense in raising something no one
wanted and then ask the government
for relief.” The President's error
was, in the case of pork, that it was
wanted and actually taken- and will
be consumed but at a loss to the
grower.

Pathologists have expressed re-
gret that the use of alcohol and nar-
cotics made their edicts insensible to
these drug evils or that the apparent
pleasures distorted their viewpoints
as to make their defense lacking in
fact or logic. My revered instructor
in economics in the University of
Michigan once said the so-called “law
of supply and demand" was destruct—
ive of economics because it furnished

m_ Ger-n

the task for 1928 is still

in the clean—up, while the area

lation which is apt to be lost track
of, IS that which applies to the ship-
ment of corn. Corn on the cob can-
not be shipped outside the quaran~
tine area. Shelled corn may be ship-

ped to points outside of the area, pro- -

vided it has been inspected and cert-I
iﬁed. Application for certiﬁcation

should be made to the State Depart- 2

ment of Agriculture at Lansing.

When shipping shelled corn out of l

the area for seed purposes, farmers
are warned against the practice of in.
eluding whole ears in the container
so that the purchaser may get an idea
of what he may expect from the seed.
Corn borers are often contained in
the ear or cob and this practice is
apt to result in a. further spread of
the pest.

No restrictions are placed on the

movement of corn within the quar— _

antined area but shipments consigned

to points outside must be accompani— ,

ed by a certiﬁcate of inspection. This
phase of the quarantine applies not
only to ﬁeld corn but also to broom

    
    
  

   
 
   
  
 
  
  
 

 

corn, all sorghums and sudan grass. ‘

How Area Was Determined

The area under quarantine for
1928 was determined as the result of

careful scouting during the summer ‘

of 1927. During this period, trained
men, known as “scouts,” conducted
an intensive search for the corn bor-
er in those townships adjoining the
area then under quarantine. Sus-
pected specimens were taken by these

scouts, placed in suitable containers;

and sent to competent entomologists
for identiﬁcation.

If the specimens 1,

were positively identiﬁed as the Eur- -.
opean corn borer the area was placed .

under quarantine, and the scouts
moved on to another township.

This procedure was followed in all
townships to the north and west of
the 1927 area. as long as specimens of
the corn borer were found. As soon
as corn borer was found and identi-
ﬁed in a township, the scouts moved
on to another township. For this
reason, some farmers in lightly in-
fested areas state they have never
seen a corn borer and cannot under-
stand why their locality has been
placed under quarantine.

It must be recognized that ﬁnding
the corn borer in heretofore uninfest-
ed areas is not an easy task, and that
considerable experience is required.
In heavily infested areas, broken-

over tassels are usually an indica—:

tion of corn borer infestation and
the pest is easily located.
areas, however, an intensive search

has to be made to locate the insect. .
As stated previously, when the pest .

is found, the scouts move on to an-
other township. There is no use look-
ing for more specimens as two or
three corn borers, due to their proliﬁc
nature, are able to infest a Whole
neighborhood. To avoid this condi-
tion and the subsequent destruction
wrought by the pest when left to go
uncontrolled, is the purpose of the
quarantine and clean-up.

HE Sixth Annual Ag-He Exposi-
tion which was recently held at
Hastings High School, Hastings,

Michigan, was a decided success.
This Exposition which is the largest
agricultural and home economics
show in Barry county is recognized
as 'a leader of its kind in Michigan
and also this section. of the country
and has gradually grown in both
quantity and quality of exhibits. The
exhibits this year toﬁed close to
1, 500 and an estima )attendance
was 3,000 peeple.

It is sponsored by the Agricultural
Club of the High School, consisting
of 60 members, under the direction

of Mr.- T. N. Knopf, agricultural in-
structor, and Miss Ruth Marks,
home economics teacher. It ”has
grown to be a county Wide proposi-
tion showing the excellence of cen-
tral'Michigan agriculture and home
products for which suitable prizes
are given.

Those knowing its value consider
it a ﬁne educational feature. The
chairman, Louis Brown, and his as-
sistants, Miss 'Rachel Cain, Leland

backed by the Agricultural Club,
high school and business men, have

good results are secured: The price

HEN farms are rented on the

two-third share plan, the land-

lord furnishes the land and per-
sonal property and the tenant fur-
nishes the labor. Expenses such as
feed, seed, swine, fertilizers and ma-
chine hire are borne in the same
proportion as income. That is,
landlord receives two-thirds of the
stock increase and cash income, and
the tenant one-third.-—-—F. T. Riddell,

MOON SIGN INFLUENCE
I Would like for some dear good

‘friend to write and tell the good

signs when to plant garden vege-
tables and fruits, potatoes and
pumpkins, corn, grass, wheat or any
farm product for best results. My
mother was very particular and
father also and I will be very much
pleased. I am very much pleased to
read Tm: BUSINESS FABMER; my son
Fred takes it.—Mrs. H., Bangor,
Michigan.

HE signs of the zodiac are

2-7 grouped into the elements of

ﬁre, earth, air and water. The

l moon passing through these signs is
‘ supposed to develop upon the earth
similar characteristics of the signs.

The watery or fruitful signs promote
growth in plants when planted under
their inﬂuence; that is, when these

, signs are rising and especially when
. the moon is rising also.

It should be understood that not

= Iall people will have the same suc—
‘ cess operating under this method of

planting. Much depends upon whe«
ther the person is strongly adapted
to farming.

Other conditions being equal the
general activity of the seed planted
is said to be as follows: Aries, for

' plants not requiring much moisture;

seed will germinate rapidly. Taurus,
for slow growing root crops, espe-

'cially of the cool weather variety.

Gemini best for killing weeds. Can-

 

cer, very good for gourds, melons,
pumpkins, squash, cabbage, cucum-
bers, beans, peas, and tomatoes.
Libra good for grain and quick
growing crops. Scorpio, good for
most plants. Sagittarius produces
rapid germination but not as good
for food production as some other
signs. Capricornus, good for root
crops. Pisces, plants requiring
moisture should be planted when
the moon is in this sign.

Aside from the sign inﬂuence at-
tention is supposed to be placed
upon the fact whether the moon is
increasing or decreasing in light.
Seed planted near the full of the
moon develops more stalk than root
and vice versa. Hence grain should
be planted in the light of the moon
and potatoes, radishes, etc., in the

tinction betwen’the various issues of

coin and pa currency of the Unit-
ed States, no other receiving or pay-
ing a premium in any case. Every
once in a while a story gets around
that the government has “called in"
a certain isSue of currency and is
paying a premium on it. The gov-
ernment has never “called In” any
coin or paper currency and ~all state-
ments to the contrary are erroneous.

F you have your car stored and do
not intend to drive it you would
not have to buy your license at
this*time, but y9u could not drive or
operate the car along the' highways
. with 1927 license plates as the law
states that plates fer the current
year much be displayed consipcuous-
ly on the car. To use the- car now
along the highway With 1927 license
plates would be making yourself li-
* able to arrest. But if you do not
intend to use the car until next
spring there is no reason why you
can not put off buying your new
plates until just before that time.

 

SHOULD PAY .PART OF .-
TIIRESH BILL

A year ago I rented my farm to a
man who had nothing to, do. I fur-
nished team, feed; seed, toOls. and
cows. Gave him all of the poultry,
and he did all of the work, and as he
did not have to furnish a cents
worth of anything, not a cent invest-
ed, he thinks I should pay two-thirds
of the thresh 'bill. _Now I claim that
he should pay his one-third as I
claim threshing is in the work. I
have worked land on shares and have
paid the whole bill where there was
no agreement otherwise. -——J. L. R...
Clarksville, Michigan.

HRESHING is one of the farm
costs that is borne by both par-
. . ties in the same proportion as
income. In your case it would mean
that as stated, the landlord pay two-
thirds and the tenant one-third of
the machine hire expense. The ten-
ant of course should furnish all la-
bor outside of the machine operating
crew. —-F. T. Riddell, Farm Manage«
ment, M. S. C.

WOULD DUTIES INTERFERE?
Can you please inform me if a
man can hold two offices and be
legal, such as city marshall and dep-
uty sheriff in a village at one time?
-—-—W. T. W., Eaton Rapids, Mich.
HE law states that one person
may not hold two separate of-
ﬁces in the same county or
township, if the duties of one would
conﬂict with or interfere with" the
duties of the other; It would appear
to me the duties of the two offices
you mention would interfere with
each other.—Lega1 Editor.

DUTIES OF ADMINISTRATION

Please advise me as to the duties
of an administratrix‘! Is it their place
to figure up the account book or does
the judge do‘ this? Can the adminis-
tratrix divide the money left over
from the farm until the farm is sold
’or must she take it before the judge?
——R. M., Goldwater, Mich.

HE administratrix would collect
the property of the deceased.

pay the debts and distribute. the '

remainder among the heirs. She
would have authority to divide the
money left after the sale of the farm
and the payments of the debts. How-
ever. she would be required to give
to the court an itemized account of
the transaction.—-Lega1 Editor.

ONSIDERABIJ Canine-t is

made one“: methods at re-

ducing the high taxes. In our
county, and I am saddened to tell it,
~ 3 move was made to lower taxes by
' doing away will
the county agent.
_We have had a.
county agent for
many years and
it. would. the a
volume I! M B.
It's to tell all

the good they
have accom-

plished. It seems
without, a county
agent there is no~
one to direct
anything or to
s ta 1' t anything
which mil he of interest to [arms
Strange as it may seem, city people
don"t kick on having an agricultural
agent, and these city people have to
help support him by their taxes just
as the farmers do.’ Our county agent
_ had a. number of. active projects
started and some were of long stand.-
ing. With his dismissal all these
simply stopped. The loss cannot be
estimated. It seems strange people
think so much of “Der it pay?”
l “Where is the money in it?" etc.

Come now, let’s be honest. Our

court house is situated in the center
of. a. block, the block being in the
center of the city. The court house
grounds are kept in almost perfect
condition. The lawn is beautiful.
But couldn‘t we get aim without
. this pretty rm? Let it grow up to
- weeds, Wilhelm... Canada thistles, etc.
‘ It wouldn’t hurt the county records
any. They could hold circuit court
in the building just the ume. But
who would think, of such a condition
as. being for the best interest of Hilla-
dale county? No one. Bm if money
is all them is to think about, a little
money could be saved to the taxpayer
if. that lawn. was neglected. But
would" there really be any money
saved. in. the full sense of the word,
to neglect the lawn? Sure nah—it
would be a very expensive piece of
economy, and so it is with. the exit
of the county agent.
He didn't drive crowd the county
handing out ten dollar bills to all
the farmers He didn't run a lumi-
ness where it would have been pos’
sible for him to turn over ten thou-
sand dollars to the Supervisors every
time they met. His business was not
classed as. a mint. But. he did make.
money for the farmers just the same.
Without a. county agent. it is a sale
bet that Hillsdale- county would
never have been known to be free of.
T. B. cattle. This cattle test was the
beginning of an era of prosperity in
t the cattle industry. Buyers of milch

many years. But looking after the
cattle test was a. small part of his
amwﬂes. He fostered the county
poultry association, and was active
in securing marl digging demonstra-

lime. He was always on the. watch

There are. some three hundred wo-
men in the county who are very
much disappointed to ﬁnd out that
their three years sewing project,
which had just been started by the
extension department of the M. S. C.
through the instrumentality of our
county agent, has ended. The Col—
lose authorities seem to think cry
county that will not support a county
agent is too far behind. the times to
beneﬁt by extension work.

i O

Who Pays Anyway?

Burt who pays the county agent?
Most of the farmers who oppose the
oﬂice of county agent do not know
that a county pays only about one
half or! his salary. Who pays the
other half? The State pays about
equal with the federal government in
paying the. other halt. So whether
mhaveacomﬂyagen'tornot, you
are helping to unport all; the other
county agents.

How much does his salary add. to
the farmer’s" tax? Just the same as .
it does to the city man’s tax. In
the r’verage county with a valuation
of say, thirty six million dollars; the '
agent’s celery would add about that
cents for each thousand mm of
valuation. Alarms: assessed. at ﬁve
thousand would have to- poy about
twenty-ﬁve cents toward. the agent’s
salary. It would seen any farmer
with. at ﬁve thousand. dollar fan,
who could not beneﬁt twenty-ﬁve
cents per year by having a. county
agent must be conducting his 1311'
in a very self sufficient manner.

Well, Hillsdala county is going to I
vote on the subject at the spring»
election.

If your county has a county agent, ;
do not under any circumstances do'
away with him. It you haven't a5
county agent in your county, get?
busy and get one. If you have anf
agent go get acquainted with him.;
He’s a. good ﬁellow to know. Tell;
him to can 081M may know;
more than you mm. he. does; If.
your county agent; is not a nthiac-‘
tory one, tell him so and get another. '

. was no feed before-them.

“130 yen feed scratch grain tvvice
each day?" We read it three times.
For each 100 hens we feed about ﬁve
quarts of good wheat early in the
morning, at noon about three quarts
of heavy oats, and at night about
ﬁve quarts of shelled corn. ‘1: they

. seem to leave a little corn when they
go to roost we don’t care, but if
they pick it all up and seem to
scratch for the last kernel, we
throw out a little more, or some-
times a little Wheat. At any rate.
they never go to roost without all
they will eat.~ And they always want
a drink about this time so the water
._;,p‘ails are ﬁlled before the night feed
'is‘ given.
“Isn’t wheat too expensive to
~ teed?” Some think it is. We do
not think so. After all is said and
done wheat is a wonderful poultry
feed. Twenty years ago I was go-
ing home from town when two neigh-
of their company. One lived east
of their company. One lived to the
east of our farm and the other to
the west. It was in December and
several bags of wheat were on the
wagon. The farmer “to the east” be-
gan the conversation, which ran
something like this. “Lou, What you
got in those bags?” Reply was
“Wheat.” What you buying dollar
and quarter wheat for?” Answer,
“To feed the hens.” “My, how can
you afford to feed wheat to hens
when corn is so much cheaper? I
feed mine nothing but corn and they
look ﬁne. " ' Reply (by neighbor on
the west), “ Yes, your hens look nice
but theydon’t lay, and Lou gets eggs
by the' basket full. His eggs cost
him just the difference between the
price of wheat and the price of
corn.” I might add that at this par-
ticular time wheat was “way up in
price” for the average of those days,
but the fact wheat had taken‘ a
“jump” did not cause me to feed
less of it.

~ THIEVES ARE ACTIVE

EAR EDITOR:—~Some ﬁve years

' ago I wrote you concerning

trouble with chicken. thieves and
other gentry that our neighborhood
ahd been suffering from. Since then
the work you have done has been
great and every subscriber should
write and thank you.

I was annoyed the other day to
ﬁnd an article in our daily paper giv-
ing credit to another, which is a
worthy enough paper‘ but no such
partisan of our property rights as
you are. Thinking that perhaps the
trouble lay in the silenceof those you
are. working for I am sending in my
own personal “Thank you."

For a year or two our losses in
this neighborhood were comparative-
ly light but the last eight or ten
months they have doubled and quad-
rupled. Chicken houses are __broken
into, the windows broken, the locks
torn off, or other openings made and
the chickens disappear. Grain and
, beans are taken, small tools are tak-
en, parts of harnesses or wagons dis-
appear, and where houses are far
from their neighbors, and their own—
ers go to town, to trade or for an
evening’s entertainment, the houses
are entered and fruit, vegetables,
food, and even furniture or valuables
disappear. _ ‘

We never leave our home unoccuz
pied at night but still we have lost
chickens, grain-and small\teols. Our

er, Breckenridge, Mich.

—Here is where the burglar alarm
would prove a great help in catching
the thieves. The silent type we have
discussed would “call” the farmer
out of bed to “watch them at their
work” and give him an opportunity to
do more than that if he so desired.
The gong type of alarm would aWak-
ten the farmer and start the thief
away from the place at a rapid rate

of speed all at the same time.—-'

PHEASANTS

EAR EDITORz—We read the M.-

were reading about the pheas-

pheasants destroyed about half of our

be if they were never put out for
the city hunters. I am not the only
farmer in this community who lost
corn. Some thought it Was crows but
a few saw the pheasants at it.-—-Mr.

FEW years ago, Kelly-Springﬁelds were the highest-
priced tires on the market—and they were well
worth the difference in cost.

Today, Kelly: are consistently giving two and three
times the mileage they did seven or eight years ago, yet
they now cost no more than any of the better-known
makes.

The explanation is very simple. The public demand
for Kellys led to such large production that our manu—
facturing costs have been constantly lowered, thus
making it possible for us to offer you far better tires
than the old Kellys, at half the cost. '

If you have never used Kelly-Springﬁeld tires, it will!

TEXT: “Moreover, thou shalt_\provide
out of all the people able men, such as
fear God, men of truth, hating unjust
gain; and place such over them to be
rulers.” Exodus 18:21.

EBRUARY is digniﬁed in being
the birth-month of two ex-presig
dents whose greatness will ever

be revered by American hearts, and
honored in universal history. But
these men are great not only acconda
ing to the school histories, but as
determined by the standards of An-
other Book. After all, to be truly
and satisfyingly great, one's measure
must be taken in the realm of grace
and goodness. Who failed more ig—
nominiously in wealth, popularlity,
and material power than the Lowly
Galilean? Yet, in these modern
days, rulers and statesmen in ever-
increasing numbers, seek diligently
for His Star. 80, when Washington
is on his knees in his Valley Forge’s
and in his prayer room, we get his
truest portrait. These high moments
and prophetic moods in our ﬁrst
president are what 'we desire in ev-
ery president, that our history might
be kept honorable in the sight of
God and man.

One of Washingtons prayers runs
as follows: ”Almighty God, we make
our earnest prayer that Thou wilt in-
cline the hearts of the citizens to cul-
tivate a spirit of subordination and

obedience to government, and to en- '

tertajn a. brotherly affection and love
for one another, and for their fellow-
citizens of the United States at large.
And ﬁnally, that Then wilt most
graCiously be pleased to dispose us
all to do justice, to love mercy, and
to bemean ourselves with that char-
ity, humility, and paciﬁc temper of
mind which were the characteristics
of the Divine Author of our blessed
religion; and without an humble imi-
tation of whose example in these
things, we can never hope to be a
happy nation. Grant our supplica-
tion, we beseech Thee, through Jesus
Amen.” While
some have been drawing the curtain
aside on the unseemly spots in the
life of Washington, the writer, in
quoting this prayer desires to unveil
him to our view in his holiest and
most visioned moments; a. persident
who feared God.

And this reverent mood is well pre-
served in Lincoln, who said of the
Bible, "‘It it the best gift which God
has given to man. All the good
from the \Savior of the world is com-
municated to us through this book.
But for that book, ,we could not
know right from wrong. All those
things desirable to'man are con-
tained in ‘ it." Certainly, both of
these historic ext-presidents exhibit
to us great worthiness in their poli-l
tical ideals and efforts. They afford
us good examples of the conviction

of our text. Let us look at those
principles. They are a part of the
shrewd counsel of an Arab shiek
given to his son-in-law, Moses, who
was engaged in the shaping of a na-
tion. This priest of the open skies
had caught the spirit of democracy,
and knew that it could be made safe
only in a certain ruling personel.

“Able men.” This statement is
simple, but adequate. All can under-
stand it. And just now, when" the
“favorite sons" are grooming for
Coolidge’s shoes, it is well to- apply
this tried and old-fashioned measure-
ment. Is your candidate “able”?
Does he have courage and strength of
mind? Have his convictions grown
out of an earnest study of state.
craft and public aﬁairs? Will he live
by honest convictions? Or, is his
ear to the four winds of popular
opinion that hemight tack his sails
accordingly? This man is unsafe.
He cannot qualify as a man of'abil-
ity. Reject him.

“Such as fear God.” ..We want rul-
ers right at hearts, and openly reli-
gious. President Coolidge became
an avowed member of the church.
This got him conﬁdence. It it yet
popularly believed that he possesses
that pious, Godly fear that makes
for the safety of his conclusions in
the managemqnt of executive affairs.
The fear of God is the beginning of
'wisdom and enables one to govern
oneself. Let us cheese a president
that has that vital, deep, purifying
thing in his heart that has guided
him into a life above reproach. One
who cannot govern himself cannot
govern others.

“Men of truth.” But this is an
outgrowth of Godly fear. And yet,
human nature has such a tendency
to slip. To be men of truth. is to be
scientiﬁc. It is an honest desire to
know facts and conditions as they
are and then to treat them fairly and
consistently. What sham and pre-
tension everywhere! Politics, so-
ciety, and religion are shot through
with it. Shun the man of untruth—
fulness, of partisan bias, and of mis-
representation of facts. Longfellow,
another of February’s sons, has this
to say:

“Were half the power that ﬁlls
the world with terror,

Were half the wealth bestowed
on camps and courts,

Given to redeem the human
mind from error,

There were no need of arsenals
and forts.”

How pertinent is this principle now
in the face of our president’s call for
a billion dollar increase in navy ex-
penditures! Is this consistent? Is
it in harmony with world peace?
Will it get us any national glory?
Do we need it? Are, ‘we willing to
shoulder the increased tax-burden?
What is the truth in the matter?
What w0uld Jesus do with a million
dollars, were he here? What was his
ﬁrst-century attitude ,with political
jealousies and warring factions all
around him? Might he not today
rather use a billion dollars to edu-
cate the nations away from misun-

 

 

    
   
 
  
       
 
 
  
  
 
   
     
 
 
   
    


 
 
   
 
 
 

 

 

 

   
 
 

  
 
 

 

the man With itchy palms.
So, this is the ideal. It is rigid as
tis high. It damns the idea that
o'tne can do things in public life and
retain a good name, but dare not do
them in his personal relationships.

It makes one ’s character surmount

all one’ s native endowments. The
promise was, “It thou shalt do this

thing, ‘ ‘ * then thou shalt be able,

to endure, and all this p'eople also
shall go" to their place in peace.”

Truly, religion comes ﬁrst as state
' guiding principle. Let us have rul-

ers who abide in the shades of the
departed Washington and Lincoln.
and profess a devout belief in the
Christ of the nations. '

INDUSTRY VS. AGRICULTURE
OME . larg'e' business concerns
cou’ldaid agricultural revival by
adopting a more helpful atti-
tude toward farmers' cooperative as.
sociations. The interests of so-called
“industry” and those of agriculture
are constantly becoming more inter-
WOven, and it willsoon become evi-
dent that a, last-
ingprosperi-
ty can not exist
in this country
unless these two
great commercial
branchesget to-
gether andRcOOp-
erate for the ben-
eﬁt of all.

These thoughts
were born in the
writer’ 8 mind be-
cause of some-
,‘thing which hap-
pened in Michi-
‘g a. 11 recently.

Herbert Natzlger

Here’s the ' story.

A certain fruit co-op has all its"

buildings located on land belonging
to an interurban railway company,
and for years this electric line was
the co-op’s only connection with the
steam roads 'and the outside world.
In the course of time paved highways
and the advent of motortruck trans-
portation made it possible to' trans—

port fruit to various markets by‘

truck- ’ In this way several highly
perishable kinds of fruits could be
brought to market in better condition
and at a. considerable saving in
freight charges. Lower grades of
fruit could also be rushed to nearby

markets and disposed of at a proﬁt.

The interurban railway company

isoon voiced its disapproval of the use

of motor trucks and when the co- Op ’3

' land lease expired the» interurban; re-

fused to renew the lease unless all

. of the co-op’s produce were shipped

by rail.

To say that the co— —op’s directors
were temporarily scared is putting it
mildly, for compliance with the rail—
way's demands meant the abandon-
ment of a new and proﬁtable market.

The association’s directors ﬁnally
decided that no court of justiCe would

countenance the brand of coercion‘

whiCr was being attempted, and pro-
ceeded to call the railway’s bluff by
doing business as usual without a.
lease!

Weeks of watchful waiting brought
no reaction, but it gradually became
evident that the railway. company was
undergoing a Change of heart. in-
stead of ﬁnding the issue forced upon
it the co- -op found itself the recipient
of improved railway service, real
service, service such as it had never
dreamed of in the past. The result
has been vastly improved relations
between the farmer’s association and
the railway, and, more and better
business for both sides.

What became of the lease? No one
seems to know. The general opinion
seems to be, that it was lost in the
shuffle.

in its annual meeting at Louise
ville, Kentucky, December 6-8,
passed resolutionsuurging the adop-
tion of a tariff on bananas. Bananas
are grown in tropical coﬁntrles with
the aid of excee ingly cheap labor

The Pomological Society seems to

they are also good for fruit.

This insect tunnels down the in-

tips of the young shoots. Watch the
young shoots for wilted tips. If you
see any clit them off belOW the

the crop is harvested cut out the old
canes close to the ground and burn
them. '

A USE FOR PIG >WEEDS

E have always been told that

everything is good for some-

thing, but we could not help
but doubt that statement when we
thought of pig weeds. However, a
use has been found for even these.
They are being used in the fruit or.-
chards of A. J. Rogers, of Beulah,
and are considered an asset.

Mr. Rugers, owner of Thrushwood '
Orchards, says pig weeds are a. li_-
ability in late spring and summer,
and an asset in the fall, winter and
early spring. They become an asset
as a cover crop in the fall, to retain
snow in the orchard in" the winter,
as, a protection for the roots of his
cherry trees, and .to retard bud
growth in the spring until after
danger from frost hals passed. ’

Under Mr. Rogers’ cultural prac-
tices, pig weeds make a vigorous
growth, attaining two feet or more

before they are killed by frost. Since
1921 Mr. Rogers has been fertilizing
his cherry trees with nitrogenous
fertilizers and this has helped the
weed growthas well as the trees.

Clean cultivation is practiced in
the' orchards untilolate in August,
when the weeds are permitted to
grow. Cover crops are used on the
theory that they tend to retard the
growth of fruit trees, thereby hard—
ening the bark and bud in prepara—
tion for the winter.

Since, Mr. Rogers began using
commercial fertilizers and pig weeds
as a cover crop, the yields of his ‘
cherry orchard have been increased
to 10 tons an acre.

HONEY IN RADIATOR

_‘ I am having considerable trouble
'with alcohol as a non-freezing solu-
tion in my radiator. I have heard
thathoney is good. What do you
think about it. What can you recom-
mendl—W. 11., Grand Traverse
County. -

BOUT two years ago several
members or the Agricultural
Engineering stall tried out

honey as a non-freezing solution in
their car radiators. Tests were also
conducted in the laboratory on sta-
tionary engines to determine the ef-
fects on operation due to overheating

of this honey solution. We are con-,

evinced as a result of these tests that

considerable grief may result with.

the use of a honey solution. Some
have used it quite successfully while
others report considerable repair
bills as a result of the solution
seeping through gaskets. and seizing
the piston in the cylinder.

and seizing the piston in the cylin-
der. '

We ﬁnd also that the ordinary
preparation of honey solution which
uses some alcohol will produce an
insoluble scum when at the boiling
point which frequently plugs the
over ﬂow pipe or the radiator caus-
ing steam pressures to be built up
and resultant damage to the hose
connections.

I have used alcohol for a number of
years and have had no dimculty with
it, particularly where a pump is used
to circulate the cooling liquid. This
will keep the 'water from attaining
the boiling point, consequently there
will be less loss from evaporation.—

STORING BATTERY

Can a storage battery be stored
dry during the winter? If so please
tell me how it can be done—B. 8.,
Saginaw. County.

TORAGE batteries are taken care
of during the winter by dry
storage where the battery is

fully charged betore being taken to
pieces. The cover is then steamed
oi! and the elements removed, the
separator removed, the acid taken
all and the sediment washed out of
the bottom of the cells. The ele-
ments are then dried and put into
storage. In the spring when the bat-
tery is required again it is re—
assembled with new separators, the
required amount of acid, and is fully
, charged. This cannot be done satis-
factorily at home and should never
be attempted.

SIZE OF PULLEYS
, Please tell me how to ﬁgure the

——Subscriber, Mich.

0 ﬁnd the diameter of the driven
pulley, multiply the diameter of
the drive pulley by the r. p. m.
of the drive pulley, and divide by
the r. p. m. of the driven pulley. If
you wish to run your line shaft at
300 r. p. m., which is a common
speed, the size of the line shaft pul-
ley would be six times 500 divided
by 300, which is 10; therefore a
10-inch pulley. ,

If you wish to ﬁnd how fast the
driven shaft is running, multiply the
diameter of the drive pulley by the
r. p. m. of the drive pulley, and di-
vide by the diameter of the driven
pulley. For instance, it you wish to
use a 12-inch pulley on the line
Shaft, the line shaft would run 6

“The Farm Paper of Service"

FIXING UP THE YARD

HERE are not many of us who do not notice
T and admire attractive grounds around a
house either in the city or the country. But
there are few of us who can “ﬁx up” our front
yard 50' it will look just right, because we haven’t
the training or experience along that line. We
usually know our weakness and for that reason
we just set out a few bushes here and there, sort
of hit and miss wit-h the trees, and let it go at
that. We would like to make it a ﬁrst class job
but we lack the “know how.” In an article on
page 4, Mr. Russell Mckee, who is an expert land—
scape gardener of ten years experience, gives out
some helpful pointers on how to be your own

“landscape gardener and make" your front yard 3

pretty picture. Further, he has promised to an-
swer any questions you want to ask on this sub-
ject. Of course he doesn’t pretend to know it all,
but he was born on a farm, knows the problems
of the farmer, and we believe is able to answer
most of your questions. Address him in care
of M. B. F.

HIS ALARM WORKED
UGH BRUEKER, a Tuscola county farmer,
believes a. burglar alarm connected to the
chicken coop is a proﬁtable investment.
. 0n the night of January ﬁrst he was awakened
by the alarm bell ringing in his bedroom. As
it was connected with the door and windows of

. his chicken coop he knew someone was trying to

gain entrance so he quietly arose and reached for
his loaded shot gun which he kept nearby. Then
he turned on the lights in the coop, which were
connected with his house lighting system. As
the light ﬂooded the coop two startled thieves ran
out and headed for a. truck parked a short dis-
tance away. In order' to increases their speed, if
such a thing was possible, Mr. Brueker ﬁred a
shot into the air. The shot accomplished its pur-
pose and the thieves tumbled into their truck
which they got in motion and headed away from
there in record time.

As Mr. Brueker keeps more than 150 chickens
he probably would have lost over a hundred dol-
lars that night if it had not been for his burglar
alarm. And the alarm cost him only a few dol—
lars, plus the time it took him to install it.

 

EXTENSION WORK AND FARM BUREAU
PEAKING before the ninth annual American

Farm Bureau convention in Chicago on De-
cember 2nd Mrs. Edith M. Wagar, of Carle-

_‘1 ton, discussed the agricultural extension policy
y. and its relationship to the farmer, particularly
; the farm bureau member.

It was her contention

Ethat agricultural colleges should give more at-

tention and study to the farm organization ques-

; 't‘ion; why some fail and others succeed, and how

~t’o build them along' successful lines.

Also she
tated that she believed that farmers should sit

‘ ‘ The Business Farmer

is a member or the farm bursa

 

indicated that she believed the org
at the college should be mostly for the beneﬁt
of the farm bureau and it should be the farm
bureau member who took part in shaping the ex-
tension program.

We entertain very high regards for Mrs. Wager,
we know she is an outstanding, thinking farm
woman, but. we believe she has a wrong idea
as to who is to beneﬁt from the extension work.

The extension work is for the good of all farmers, ,

not just the members of any certain organization.
and it must be always kept that way.

 

FARM EQUIPMENT WEEK

HE week of February 13th has been set aside

as Better Farm Equipment Week to remind
farmers that they should be checking over
their machinery before the spring rus'h. It is
several weeks between the week of February 13th
and the time spring work begins in earnest, but
if there are any parts broken or badly worn and
your dealer must send to the factory for them it
is none too early to ﬁnd out about it and get your
order on the way. Like Christmas shopping,
most of -us put off such thingskuntil the last min-

‘ute and then have a time getting what we want

because there is such a rush of business. . Many
times the delay costs us several dollars through
time lost.

Also it is a good idea to get an extra supply of
those parts that are most easily broken so that
you will be prepared in case the unexpected hap-
pens. It will cost a few dollars now but may save
many dollars during the busy season.

 

FOUR-CENT GAS TAX IDEA GAINING

EPORTS from various parts of the State show
R an increasing interest in the idea of raising
the gasoline tax to four cents, issuing per-
manent license plates good for the life of the car
and eliminating the weight tax on pleasure cars.
This pleases us considerably.

THE BUSINESS FARMER was an enthusiastic back—
er of the gas tax long before it became popular
in Michigan and was the ﬁrst publication in this
State' to advocate it being increased and the an-
nual scramble for license plates done away with.
If you have copies of M. B. F. as far back as
January, 1926, you will ﬁnd endorsements of, it
on the editorial page in two issues of that month.

 

LUCKY LOSS

POULTRYMAN living near Holland, Ottawa

county, discovered his chicken coop had been

entered and sixty pullets were missing. Look-
ing about for clues he found a roll of bills con-
taining $300 which the thieves had lost in his
coop. He didn’t feel so bad over “losing” the
pullets at $5 apiece.

MANY INTERESTED IN FARM

MAN living in the central part of Michigan

owns a. farm which he recently wanted to

rent. He ran a classiﬁed advertisement for
one day in a daily newspaper circulating in that
section and received 1215 replies, most of them
from folks who‘ had left the farm and gone to
the city. They wanted to get back to the land
again. After giving it a trial they had found
that the high cost of living and uncertain em-
ployment took most of the rosiness out of life
in the city.

 

N 0’1‘ FOR SALE

0L. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH has been of-

fered many ﬁne positions with a salary at

any ﬁgure he might name, but to every offer

of this nature he replies, “I don’t want any more

money than I am worth. I am not worth much,
except my name, and I won’t sell that.”

No wonder America is very proud of this young
man and pleased to have other nations consider
him a true representative of this country. Give
us more like him. '

WE NEED HIM AT M. S. O.

UMORS have it that Prof. O. E. Reed, head
R of the dairy department at Michigan State
College, may succeed Dr. C. W. Larsen as
chief of the bureau of dairying in the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Prof. Reed is an out-
standing man, well qualiﬁed to ﬁll the position,
but we hope he is not seriously considering it be-
cause Michigan dairymen need him.

cold and couldn’t speak, and while I didn’t

kick at that, the trouble is, while she is ﬂat
upon her back, laid up in bed, I have to run the
stand instead and bake the cookies and the pies,
my cookin’d never take a prize. The pie crust that
I make is tough, my customers soon git enough,
they never pass their plate again, they take a bite
or two, and then they turn and boat It for the
door and never do come back no more. I cannot
seem to sell my cats, there ain’t much cash in my
receipts, the proﬁts that we used 'to make are
ruined by my heavy cake.

The folks go by and pass me up, they never stop
to dine or sup, some stop to ask it wife is well,
but they don’t stay to rest a. spell and buy fried
chicken oﬂ’n me. They look suspiciously, by gee,
at my doughnuts and like as not, they an“! about
my coﬂ’ee not but it I pour them out a cup they
turn and start their motor up and wave their
hand and off they go, so I ain’t makin’ any dough.

thing I know, erandy June, when she is on her
feet again, will be used mighty nice by me, she’s

0 PETER PLOW’S PHILOSOPHY a

 

 

 

I was readln' in the paper 'bout a hen in
England that they claim lays two eggs at a. time
an average of four days a week and a couple of
times has laid three. They say the reason is that
she was affected with sunstrokewhen she was
’bout a month old. Guess I’ll, keep our baby
chicks out doors all summer, and then next fall
I’ll advertise sunstroked pullets at a fancy price.

One thing I like 'bout young Lindbergh is that
in spite of all the medals and honors showered
on him for bein’ the world’s great aviator he
keeps his feet on level ground and doesn't get his
head above the clouds. He travels high but there’s
nothing high and mighty ’bout him.

T'other day I asked a neighbor to tell me the
hardest riddle he know. He said he didn’t like
to talk about his wife around home for fear she
might hear him.

Gosh, another. week gone by and nobody tried
to ﬂy to Europe.

 

And automobiles are the same price they was
last week.

What’s wrong?
Ever hear this one? The little girl seemed to
be thinkin’ real serious about somethin’. Her ma.
says, “What you thinkin’ about, honey?”

“What is that bunch in the front of Mr. Jones’
throat?” she asked.

“Why that’s his Adams apple,” said her ma.

“Oh,” she says, “now I know why I saw Mr.
Jones sprayin’ his throat the other day. He was
afraid the apple might get wormy.”

AMERICAN INVESTOR AND

' ' TRADER -
Recently I received a letter and a‘
sort of an advertising scheme, as
we understand it- Seeing .. I don’t
know the meaning of it I am asking
friend BUSINESS FARMER. The name
of the concern is “The American In:-
vestor and Trader, 80 Wall Street,
New York, N. Y.” ,-

As I am a constant reader of M.
- B. F. I want to tell you that I think
it is the best paper any farmer can
read. The only fault I ﬁnd with it is
that it doeSn’t come once a week—r
’H. E. F., Benzie County. .

HE American Investor and Trader.
is ,successor to the Investor's
Guide, according to the National

Better Business Bureau, and has
been operating with a, principal of-

, ﬁce at Jersey City, although main-

taining a mailing address in New
York City. '

While operating as the Investor's
Guide and for some ,time while it
was operating as the. American In-
vestor and Trader it is claimed that
the man behind the outﬁt was Na-
thaniel Calvin who operated under
the name of Wallace Banks. The po-
lice department of Jersey City in-
vited him to “beat it,” but he secured
an injunction restraining them from
interfering with him. That action is
pending.

We understand that recently the
concern has changed hands and is
now boosting the stocks in which
Jules Burns has a ﬁnancial interest.

“EYE SPECIALISTS" LEAVE
TOWN

W0 so—called “eye specialists” re-
T cently called on a widow in Fow-
lerville and sold her $200 worth
of glasses and treatments. Then they
insisted that she pay them in cash
at once. She advised that she did
not have the money in the house but
would get it from the bank. When
she asked for such a large sum of
money the cashier inquired into the
matter and when she explained how
she was going to use it he became
suspicious. He suggested paying
them with a bank certiﬁcate instead
of cash. When the men learned
they were not going to get cash they
hurriedly left town. The State Po-
lice is now working on the case.

“DUTCH" WITH AUTHORITIES

E ‘Wall Street Iconoclast,”

which gave its. subscribers ad-

Rice, has been‘indicted on charges
of using the mails to defraud. Rice,
who is also known as Jacob S. Her-

swindler, authorities declare. Two
other men were also found guilty
with Rice. They are Walter H. Weed,,
nationally known mining engineer,
and Walter K. Yorston, of Boise,
Idaho.

The three are said to have been
“ballooning” Idaho copper stock.
Rice carried on a publicity campaign

1,000,000 shares of stock at 10 and
12 cents and they were selling them"
for as high as $6.25. Rice is said
to have placed the stock on the Bos-
ton curb exchange at 56 cents. Be-
tween March, 1925, and March, 1926,
the stock went up to $6.25. Assist-
ant United States Attorney Peck
charged that this was done by “ba-
looning” the stock to readers of
Rice’s paper.

If you are interested in buying
stock do not take the advice offered
by a “tipster sheet” but get your in-

know is reliable. Know the stock
you are considering buying, know its
market, and be re you are dealing
with an established broker.

 

RELEASE ONE “EYE DOCTOR”

ECAUSE they could not get evi-
dence that proved he had oper-
ated in this state, Eaton county

officials released Otto Swartz, one of
the alleged fake eye doc-ttors they re-
cently brought back from Illinois.
Swartz’s companion, Harry Klein,
who is said to have been identiﬁed
as "Dr. Harper” who victimized folks
in Ionia and Eaton counties, is being
held. His bail has been reduced from
$10,000 to $5,000, but it has not
been furnished.

 

HOLLAND MAN HELD ON
FRAUD CHARGE
ARRIT IDEMA, 24 years old, of
Holland, was recently arrested
and charged with .using the-
mails to defraud housewives, labor-
ers and other residents of Muskegon,
Detroit and Chicago, of amounts
ranging from $3 to $5, according to
reports. He waived examination De—
cember 19th before U. S. Commis-
sioner E. C. Farmer and was bound
over to federal district court. He
was taken to the Kent county jail, it
is said, in default of $2,000 bail.

 

WOODS PUT ON PROBATION
EORGE W. WOODS, former De-
troit and Ann Arbor real estate
dealer, who was mentioned in
our last issue as being guilty of sell-
ing securities not sanctioned by the
Michigan Securities Commission, was
placed on two years probation after
he agreed to refund $14,200 to four
persons he is accused of defrauding.

 

MODERN ART 'ACADEMY

AVE you ever heard of the Mod~

ern Art Academy, of Detroit

and Chicago? The better busi-
ness bureaus of Detroit and Chicago
have been asked to locate the “Acad-
emy” but they, have not been able
to do so. Apparently it exists only
in myth.

LIVE AND LEARN

We think the M. B. F.’ just ﬁne
and would not be without it. We
took a subscription for seven years
so it will be coming at least for ﬁve
years yet. We admire the way you
go after the “frauds.” I have hit on
several of those things myself includ—
in the picture agent. What a ﬁne
smooth-tongued fellow he was, but
the one that delivered the picture
was an altogether different person
and what pictures! We didn’t ac-
cept them, consequently a scene.

This is altogether too long for a
ﬁrst attempt so with the best wishes
to your staff of workers, I am, Mrs.
R. D., Coiling, Michigan.

before we .really get. our eyes
opened. It a person is not fa—

  Arel'IlheSe Good Bonds?

\

  
 

-—Read This Matter-of-fact Analysis
and Decide for Yourself

 
  
  

BONDS which we offer are secured by closed ﬁrst mort-
gitges on income-earning buildings and the land on
whic they are erected.

A ﬁrst mortgage is a ﬁrst lien on the property—and is
also a ﬁrst lien on the earnings from the property.

 
   
   
 
   
 
   
   
 
  
     
    
  
   
   
 
    
  
  
  
    
  
    
    
  
  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   
   
   
    

 

"Closed” means no more bonds than we offer can be issued
under the ﬁrst mortgage.

There are no prior liens on any buildin upon which we
issue bonds—these bonds are the ﬁrst 0 ligation.

Buildings usually are oﬂice, store, hotel, apartment and
garage buildings.

Bond issues rarely amount to more than 60% of the actual
value of the property.

Bonds are retired serially, and the security naturally in-
creases in pro ortion as the obligation is reduced—an.
other factor 0 safety.

This corporation acts as a trustee and gives individual
attention and service to each bond issue. The result is
that interest and rincipal payments have always been
made exactly on eye due.

two years following the one in

which the Muir: sold out and came

to Colorado, and bought a. ranch over

on the west side of the divide, were hard

ones. The bottom fairly dropped out of

the cattle ‘market, then, by way of em—
phasis, dropped some more.

The third winter was a terror. Snow
blocked everything and held on until June.
It was a sickly looking bunch that Terry,
son of the family, and Doug Summers,
who had come west and made his home
with them, shoved out on the range that
June. Decimated in numbers: thin, rag-
ged and spiritless.

Mort Ramsdale, a Weathered cow punch-
er who had stayed over from the former
management and had been trained because
of his knowledge of the practices of the
cow country, cocked an appraising eye at
the cattle as they ﬁled past him thru the
range gate onto the government grazing
ground. Then he shook his head doubt-
fully.

Doug caught, the look as well as the
head shake.

“Now what is the matter with you,"
he wanted to know. “What are you wag-
ging your head at and looking so sorrow-
ful about?"

"It’s that bunch of cattle there," pre-
dicted Mort, as he watched a thin cow up—
root 3 giant larkspnr and devour it greed—
ily. “They are so plumb starved out they-
’ll eat anything."

“That’s nothing to cry about, it is?”
asked Doug, throwing a long leg over
the wide swell of his bucking saddle and
digging down for a sack of tobacco. “More
they eat, the fatter they get, don't they?"

"Not on what that cow is eatin’," said
Mort. “That's poison. There’ll be heavy
losses this spring if I don’t miss my
guess.”

“We'll hope for the best, Mort," said
Terry, optimistically. "At the price cat-
tle have been it won't hurt much to lose
one. There’s that satisfaction in having
low prices, anway."

“It’ll hurt just the same," announced
Mort. “You wait and see if it don’t. How
many did. you tally?”

“I made it three hundred and two, all
told,” said Terry. “What did you make

“Three hundred, even,” said Mort. “If
we wasn’t so backward with our spring
work, there ort to be a rider with them
all the time to keep 'em shoved back from
the worst poison patches. Pay you to
hire a rider 'specially to do it”

Terry shook his head. "Can't allord
it,“ he said. “They ve made it before,
guess they’ll make it this time." He
turned his eyes down the trail up which
they had come, and held his head in the
attitude of listening.

Mort looked, too. “I heard that the
Stats-art outﬁt was running in a big
bmch of stuff this spring.” he remarked.
“I reckon that these are the ones," he

ﬁe)”

' added, as a point rider came into view.

Back. of him sounded a confused bellowing,
apparently from a. large herd, and dust
clouds arose and swirled thru the air.

‘Stutgart?’ Terry looked at Mort ques-
tioningiy. “The same guy that owns the
Bar Slash Bar?”

Mort nodded without averting his look
‘Thesameguy"hesaid. “Hehasabdg

, ranch down in the Panhandle, and when-
' ever the range runs short there, he ships

3 bunch up here. It’s in: outﬁt," he an-
nounced. ‘That's Spence Loosing, his
foreman ridin’ point. God pity these white-
!acee when that bunch hits the range 1”
“Why?” Terry wanted to know.
“They an lick their weight in Wild-
cats.” Mort informed him. "They‘ll crowd

. Kane the ranger, back of Lossing?’

Dong snapped his cigarette against the

tally, I reckon. Might just as well stay
and see how many they run in, hadnt
well),
' “Yes,” said Terry, “1 want to see tint
butch."

Then Loming rode up and nodded to the
men. Cattle began to appear and stream
put into the up. law oi the. was

A'

long horned, wiry wicked looking steers,
apparently all long three’s, great rangy
fellows, nimble footed as deer and viciou
as wolves. The majority, however, were
white faces, very like the attic the boys
had just put on range.

Ranger Levr Kane toqk his stand and
tallied. It seemed to Terry there was no
end to the stream of cattle that pounded
in. Many wore vented brands, but the ma.-
jority the plain bar, slash, bar (similar to
a. “Z” backwards) on their right sides.

When the last gaunt steer had been
shoved in by the drag, Kane lifted his
eyes...

“Twenty- ﬁve hundred,” he said, lookmg
at Lossing. “Correct?"

“Near enough,” replied Losslng. "‘We
had a few over that, but we lost some on
the drive. Put it down twenty-ﬁve hund-
red even."

"Hello,’ said one of the drag riders,
drawing up before Doug. “Ain't you the
guy that made such a. game ride on Bad
Medicine over at the fair last fall?"

“Game or otherwise,” Doug told him,
ﬁrm the guy.»

The fellow put out his hand.

“Shake,” he said. “That was ridin', if
you ask me. Here." he turned to the
puncher who had ridden drag with him.
“is a. guy from the Panhandle that can
set the most of them. Messer is his name .
Chal Messer."

Doug shook hands with the fellow and
told him his name. A tall. ﬂashy, black-
haired fellow he was, with a. ready smile
and gleaming white teeth, amated by
darkness of his skin.

“Always glad to meet a rider.” drawled
Messer, in soft southern accent. “Mebbe
well tangle some this fall."

The foreman, Lew Kane, edged in.
“We’re establishing our camp up at Stut-
gart’s summer house,” he said. “We al-
ways have a bunch of broncs for you boys.
Ride up any time, both of you, all of you,”
he added, including Mort. “Chat and I.
will be up there steady from now on.“

“Much obliged.” said Doug.

Messer leaned over and whispered in
his ear and Doug laughed loudly with
him. “We'll be there," he promised.

“Boys," said Kort gravely, a. they
turned homeward. "you wt to steer
clear of that bunch."

"What's wrong with them?" Doug want-
ed to know. “Seem mighty agreeable
fellows to me. And I‘ll bet that Messer
can ride the worst of them straight up.
They don‘t look like crooks to me.”

“They’re not crooks," said Mort, “that
is, as far as I know. And they’re not
angels, either. But when they git a few
quarts of Ferty Rod under their belts, as
they often do, they're a rearin’, t'arin’ out—
ﬁt. Have some high old times up there
sometimes. ‘Specially after the Texas
bunch comes in for the summer.”

"The Texas bunch?” questioned Doug.

“Stutgart’s got some relations that come
up here every summer from down in that
country," explained Mort. "He has got
a big summer camp up the line a ways
and they stay all summer and hunt and
ﬁsh and other things. They’ll be in be-
fore long,” he added. “Better stay shy
of them,” he admonished again.

tell me. "

“Stutgart ran in our two thousand
head at cattle on the range this morning-3'
Terry told his tamer. "Hort thinks that
they will aowd our cattle out.”

“What can we do about it?" asked Mr.
Muir, of Mort.

“Not a thing,” mid Hort.
ment range, you lmow.

“lt’s' gum-

whale of a grain crop. Can’t figure mudh
on the cattle this year.”

“But we've only got a. hundred acres
for grain,” said Hr. Hair. “How can we
put out more?"

“Have to break out some new land,"
said Mort. ‘There’s a. couple of hundred
acres up there on the homestead that can
be put out into grain if it is cleared."

“With sage brush and buck brush on
it as high as a horse’s back,” frowned Mr.
Muir. ”It took us almost a. week last year
to clear and break out an acre for pota-
toes. Can’tseehowweconputin much
mwlndthiesprhglateuitis. Especi-
ally that kind of land.” he added.

“Don’t ﬁgure very strong on the cattle,"
said Mort again. “Poison will be bad.
this year. One year up here it almost
wiped the range clean."

“If the cattlegfail us this year," said
Mr. Muir, heaVﬂY, “it will about wind as
up here, I’m afraid. Then it will be back
to Iowa, looks like." He smiled faintly
at his wife.

“They’ve got roses blooming back there
now," said Mary suddenly, a note of homo-
sickness in her voice.

“And new peas,” said Mrs. Huh:

“And strawberries," .said. Terry.

“And mortgages,” grinned Doug.

“How about here?" ﬂashed Mary.

“Here, here,” protested Mort, grinning a
little. “You folks out. this out. First
thing I know you’ll be pullin’ out and
leavin me. I couldn’t stand that.”

“Don't hold your breath till we go."
said Doug deﬁantly. "VVe’re not licked
yet. Terry, if we could ﬁnd a gang plow,
we’d hook that old engine to it and turn
that two hundred acres of sage brush
down mboutasquiekaswe clearedtlnt
potato patch last year."

"I know where there's a ten-bottom
plow," said Mort. “Big as a house. But.
it's a one- way plow, and you can’t throw
dirt uphill here.

“Then we ’11 plow one way and pull back
and plow thru agin,” said Doug. setting
his jaw. “Where is that plow?"

"Over by Oak creek," said Mort. ”I'hey
got it to break out that sod, but they
couldn’t get a tractor big mough. to pun
it. You can buy it cheap.”

“The old Wild Cat will pull it,” said
Doug. “Let’s drive over and see it, Terry."

“You go,” said Terry. “There's so much
work to do around here. Mart and I will
try to get things started. You won't
need me along."

“Lonesome riding all the way alone.“
protested Doug.

Mary looked at him oddly.

“If it’s just company you want," sh.
said, “what’s the matter with me?’

Doug grinned sheepls'hly.

“Get on your toga," he said. “We’ll
have to step out if we get back before
night." .

It had been pretty generally understood
that Mary and Doug would get married
some time. The ﬁrst year in the moun-
tains, Mrs. Muir protested that they were
too young, and the next one everything
had gone so perversely wrong that it was
out of the question, and this year things
looked little better. Doug had chafed not
a little at ﬁrst, but of late he ind laid
little And so when they set out on the
drive to examine the plow, it was not sur—
prising that the conversation was limited.
at ﬁrst.

"What are you thinking about?” asked
Mary at last, a note of exasperation in
her voice.

”Well," said Doug, staring straight
ahead, “I was just wondering whether W8

.would ever get in shape to build that

house we've been talking about for two
years off and on."

‘ GARDEN“ NOTES
E mail carrier will soon be

bringing the annual supply of
_ seed catalogues. These tidings
of spring are most welcome .and are
the means of passing a cold winter
evening around the ﬁre ‘in many
homes .

My advice is to try some of the
new introductions but do so in a lim-
ited way. Some have real merit
while others are rather disappointing.

It is not too early to start plans
for next year’s garden. Rather it is
a mistake to wait until the spring
work- is requiring our undivided at-
tention and then rushing to the near-
est seed store and selecting varieties
at random.

‘ t t
Don’t Save Poor Seed

Do not supply the family table
with vegetables and save the later
plant production for next year’s seed.
' The best varieties will deteriorate
in quality, productiveness and early
maturity when this method is prac-
ticed.

If you desire to save your own
seed the best plan is to set aside a.
certain number of healthy, early
maturing and productive plants and
save the entire crop of these selected

O Q

Good Garden Drill

A good garden drill will soon pay
for itself in the garden. While there
are many drill and cultivator combi-
nations on the market, the separate
units are in all cases more satisfac-
tory, and the money saved by buying
the combinations is of small conse-
quence when the inconvenience is
taken into consideration. The fact
that the early sowu crops will re-
quire cultivation long before the
frost tender plants are sown neces-
sitates many changes from one tool
to the other. ..

Add to this the risk of losing or
misplacing some of the parts and the
tendency toward neglect of the gar-
den work which inconvenience often
inspires and my statement is evi-
dently reasonable.

~ Clean Up Trash

If you have not already cut and
burned all old trash and weeds
around the garden, do so at once.

These weeds and trash are often
the winter quarters of many insects
and plant diseases.

For instance, one of the worst
plant diseases known as mosiac
spends the winter in milk weeds only

to make its visit to many of our gar- ‘

den plants the next season.
I: t t
Try Bush Lima Baens
Try some bush lima. beans in your
garden this season. They are of
very easy culture and when “shell-
ed” and cooked in the green'state
they are really delicious. Do not
plant them until the soil is warm
and danger of frost is past.

New Varieties of Peas

Laxton’s .Progress, Blue Bantam

Hotbed

"Those who spend the winter anxiously

looking forward to the coming of
spring will ﬁnd much consolation in
making a planting a hot bed. Aside
from this the value of a hotbed in
garden operations cannot be meas-
ured in dollars and cents.

A few dollars spent for sash will
prove a source of pleasure and

cost beyond ~~the labor "required to

SALT 0N ASPARAVEV‘US .

I would like to know when and
how much salt should be put“ on an
acre of asparagus.——D. B., Corunna,
Michigan. 7 '

SIDE from retarding weed growth
and retaining moisturesin the
soil to a certain degree there

seems to be no advantagestoapply-
ing salt to asparagus; in fact. our; ,
experience has led us to believe that.
it should be avoided, especially in Q 5
soil inclined to bake. 5

Providing your soil is reasonably,
free from weeds and fairly retentive
of moisture I can see no advantage.
in applying salt as it has no value
as a fertilizer or growth stimulant.
In any case I would not apply more
than 500 pounds per acre.

 

MUSKMELONB ' ;

I am wondering if you would tell
us a. good way to raise muskmelonl,
I mean to get them early. What
kind of fertilizer and what to spray
with. We have sandy loam sour-é
Mrs. R, Wayne County.

0 doubt the most sure way to se-
chre a crop of early melons is

to start them under glass about
May 1 to 10 and set the plants in the '
open about June 1. '

However, good results can usually
be attained in your locality by sow-
ing the seed directly in the ﬁeld:
about May 20. In case the glass
method is used some method must
be employed which will avoid any
disturbing of roots when setting. in'
the ﬁeld as melons do not take kind~
ly to having their roots disturbed.

Inverted soda 4 inches square, ber-
ry baskets, or dirt bands are com-
monly used to start melons.

'Well rotted stable manure‘is very
good fertilizer for melons. If the.
supply is limited use a good big
shovelful to each hill. mixing it
thoroughly with the soil. Where
manure is not available a complete
fertilizer containing approximately
4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phos-
phoric acid and 8-10 per cent potash
will usually give good results. ‘Four

 

 

imum nitrogen that should be used
as excessive amounts tend to pro._
duce a vigorous vine growth at the
expense of fruit production. One-y
third of the amount used should be
worked into the soil around the hill,
the balance broadcaSted. 800 to 1500
pounds per acre being applied. Give
the plants plenty of room. We plant 1
4x7 feet. Lake Champlain, Bender
and Hackensack are dependable
Michigan varieties. We spray with
bordeaux mixture at intervals of 10
days after vines start to run. The
earlier application might contain are

broken in the reel or in the can;

vasses; the cultivator shovels may
need sharpening; or some drag teeth
may need tightening. It is a very
easy thing to do to put tools away
with wornout or broken parts and
forget about them until the busy
season comes when we wish to use
them. Then sometimes we waste a
half day or more during the busy
haying and harvesting season re-
pairing them. Add to“ this several
more days if broken parts need be
ordered by mail or express. When
ordering parts, it might be a good
idea to order a few extra. On Spring
Water Farm we always have a sup-
ply of various size bolts, nuts, chain

V links, knives, etc. on hand, and us-

ually every season some of this extra
supply comes in very handy. Look
over the farm equipment and tools
during the week of February 13 and
check up on things.

the elements 0f nature. In my Ag-

‘ ricultur‘al Economics class I always

stress this point, and impress upon
the students that allowing tools to

Horses and Tractor

A few days ago a farmer asked
me a very common and important
question. He wished to know if I
thought it would be cheaper for him
to own three horses and a tractor
or to owu ﬁve horses. I wish I had
sufficient spaceto discuss this ques—
tion. Of course there are many fac-
tors which enter, as size of ﬁelds;
type of farming, mechanical ability,
labor problem, etc... that cannot be
discussed in the space allotted to this
department. The main question aris-
ing however, is: Can I ,maintain
and operate a tractor as cheap or
cheaper than I can a team? Ques-
tion No. 2: How much'will it cost to

7 feed the team a year, saying nething

on feed teams-

, about the depreciation of team ,or

tractor? _ I doubt if many farmers

. could give an exact answer to the
., ab0ve question although they nearly
‘ I thought this was »
afxondr’due’sti‘on' to give to my Ani-

sb dry class, so I put the

follows: How

  

put them in ﬁrst”

_ and easily digested.“

much will it cost to feed a 300-0
pound team-for one year at present
feed prices; three months of the year
they are to be fed on an idle ration;
three months on a medium work ra-
tion; and six months on' a heavy
work ration? .The answers varied
from $192.46 to $249.19. This vari-
ation I noticed was due mostly to the
varying prices of feed, as some of
the boys used Detroit feed prices,
whileothers used the prices now pre-
vailing at auction sales. For the
farmer the latter price is probably
the more fair one to use, and apply-
ing these prices, which were, clover
and alfalfa hay $12.00 per ton, corn
70c per bushel, oats 55c per bushel,
corn stover $5.00 per ton, and oat
straw $8.00 per ton, the cost for one
year with balanced rations was
$196.46.

The rations fed were as follows:
For idle work, clover hay 10 pounds,
corn 3 pounds, oat straw 3% pounds,
or total cost for three months $28.68.
For medium work, clover hay 12
pounds, corn 4 pounds, corn stover 8
pounds, or total for three months,
$36.93. For heavy work, alfalfa hay
12 pounds, corn 5 pounds, and oats
7 pounds, or cost for six months
$130.85. A ration is that quantity
of food which is consumed in 24
hours by an animal weighing 1000
pounds. Feeding tables are made
following this rule, and for this rea-
son the above rations are computed
for a 1000 pound horse for 24 hours
in order to compare and balance with
the feeding standards for horses for
various kinds of work. To ﬁnd the
amount the team would eat in 24
hours simply multiply the above feed
rations by three and the amount of
feed used daily can be found.

This problem is not perfect, but I
consider it very good. All the ra-
tions balance and the result was ob-
tained by a young farm boy by the
name of Cliﬁord Mallery, from
Owosso. There might be some im-
provement but I dare say it is better
than a lot of old timers could do.

I will not discuss how much it
will cost you to run a tractor a year
to do the work of this team, but no
doubt it would be less. I know it
is much less at Spring,Water Farm,
and our tractor does the work of
about six horses in the spring as it
never tires, works long hours, and
gets over the ground much faster.

It i *

February

. I cannot ﬁnish this department
without mentioning a word to the
good farm people concerning the
month of February. It is a very no-
table month; not because it has
twenty-nine days this year, but be-
cause two of the worlds greatest men
were born during this month. I
hope every farm man and woman in
Michigan will take a little time to
read something concerning Abraham
Lincoln and George Washington this
month.‘ I believe that your thoughts
will be a little nobler, and your lives
a little richer as a result of the extra
effort put forth. In less than one
hour’s time you can read that great
short story, “The Perfect Tribute,”
about Lincoln, which is one of the
best short stories in print. We
should also hear in mind that Abra-
ham Lincoln was a great benefactor
to agriculture. It was‘during his
administration, and with his inﬂu-
ence that the Morrill Act was passed
which provided for the establishment
of our present agricultural colleges
and experiment stations. This was
probably the greatest beneﬁcial act
of legislation that has ever been
passed to aid the agricultural in-
dustry.

Farmers in the United States produce
2% times more per man than those in

. Europe.

-OOLDS ARE CONTAGIOUS BUT
CAN BE PREVENTED

OW often during winter months

is heard the comment, “We all

have colds over at our house,
but I don’t know where we got
them.” Nearly always this comment
means that one of the family con—
tracted a cold. ﬁrst, then other mem—
bers got some of the germs and one
by one all of the family got the
disease.

Ordinary colds and sore throats, or
tensilitis are very contagious. They
can be prevented if the same pre-
cautions are taken as for any other
contagious disease.

A member of a family who has a
cold or sore throat should be put in
bed in a room by himself. ‘
' son with either condition should be
permitted to sleep with a well per-
son or in the same room with a well
person. A person with a cold or
cough should never cough or sneeze
unless he has his mouth and nose
covered with a handkerchief, better
yet, with a suitable piece of old soft,
clean cloth or soft paper that may
be burned when once used.

Sunlight is a deadly enemy of dis-
ease germs. The person who is iso-
lated, or quarantined, should there-
fore, be kept in a room where the
sun can enter freely. The room
should be reasonably large and have
plenty of Windows so ventilation can
be regulated. Fresh air does not
need to be cold air.—Dr. H. L. Youtz.

SCIENCE DISCOVERS LIVER VAL-
UABLE FOR VITAMNS‘

.HE liver of most animals is a
T store—house of many food ele-
ments. In very few foods do
we ﬁnd such an abundance of vita—
mins and minerals. Just recently
medical authorities have discovered
that liver, especially from beef, is a
cure for anemia. Liver has been
of pernicious anemia when given
found to be very beneﬁcial in cases
with fresh vegetables and fruit.

Who has not heard of the splendid
results obtained when cod liver oil
is used for babies and grown folks?
Many people, however, prefer to eat
liver instead of taking cod liver oil.
The combinations of vitamins A, B
and C together with the iron, phos-
phorus, and calcium in liver make it
a food of great value. Liver is especi-
ally valuable for the blood, but the
many food elements give tone to the
entire body.

There are various ways of prepar-

ing liver to make it an attractive
, food, points out Marie Doermann, ex—
tension food specialist for New
'Jersey. At this season when toma—
‘toes are still plentiful, this recipe
may appeal to many: Cut a thin
slice from the stem and of medium
sized tomatoes. Take out seeds and
pulp, sprinkle inside of tomatoes
with salt, invert, and let stand one-
half hour. Parboil 1 pound of. calf
or beef liver and grind. Season with
2 tablespoons of ﬁnely chopped on-
ion, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 tea-
. spoon of pepper. Moisten with pulp
‘from tomatoes. Reﬁll the tomatoes
‘with this mixture. Cover with but-
tered crumbs or small strips of bacon
and bake in a mederate oven for
about a half hour. ,

Braised liver may appeal to some:
Take 1 carrot, 1 onion. 1 stalk cel-
ery, and 1 small turnip, and out each
in. cubes. Place in the bottom of a

casserole or baking dish with a-

; "tightly ﬁtting 'cover; Place one

Wit To Eat

m1 Mes. -——Have you ever- car-
ried a cold lunch day in and day out? If
you have, yet: now what it’s like to open
your lunch box at noontime and feel the
innit!!! hunger which you have been. ace

, misﬁts“! morning long suddenly take

m at the sight of the usual unappetiz-
in; mm: It is a real burden, I
i!!! admit. arm a lunch box every day,
and to know what to put into it has taxed
many a good woman’ s ingenuity. If your
“band or children have the habit of

using only about half or the food you g

and with them in the morning, try some
of are following suggestions. .

In the ﬁrst place. the lunch should be
packed in a box so It will not crush. A
metal box with a thermos bottle included
is the most desire. These can be had

in small sizes suitable for school children .

or in larger sizes for the grown folks.

Sandwiches. cookies, and cake should d- ’
ways be wrapped in oiled paper so as to »

keep them fresh and appetizing. A small

screw-top Jar is a handy addition to a '

lunch box, for in it can be carried many
cooked or moist foods to be eaten with a
spoon. such as stewed trulst, custards,
jello. salads, baked beans. etc.

Since sandwiches form the main part of

the lunch, they should be prepared with
care, and there should be a variety ’from
day to day. It is also a. good plan to in-
clude two or more kinds of sandwiches

in the same lunch, as this coaxes the ap- ;

petite. '

Raisin, whole wheat? nut, and .

brown bread are wholesome and help add 1

variety.

Sandwich Fillings—Peanut butter mix- ;
ed with any of the following—jelly, jam. f

cherry juice or pulp. melted butter, rune
pulp, salad dressing. Cottage cheese mix-
ed with jelly, jam, or nuts.
cheese and lettuce. Lettuce with salad
dressing. Ham and sWeet pickles (ground

AVE you éver listened to two
' clocks‘ticking?’ For"‘a time they

will be in step and again out of
step resulting in a succession of pew
periods which may be several sec-
onds or even minutes in length, but
in any case are much longer than the
period of the-ticking of either clock.

When two singers harmonize they‘

sing notes of a slightlydifferent pitch
(frequency).

moment and thcn‘out of step and
“beats" will be produced.
quency or pitch of the beat note is

the difference between the frequen-‘
cies of the two notes sung. : -.

Two radio stations transmitting

with diﬁerent frequencies produce.

beats in the same way as the two
clocks or two singers. Suppose we
have a station operating on 1,000,000.
cycles (300 meters) and another on
1,010,000 cycles (297 metersﬁThese

stations will produce a beat of 10.000;

cycles (or 10 kilocycles). Now 10,000
cycles is a sound heard as a rather
high pitch or whistle by most people's
ears.- However, most radio sets will
not reproduce such a high pitch and
so it does not get through the set
and does no harm. This is the rea-
son why the Radio Commission has
placed the broadcast “channels” 10
kilocycles apart.

Now suppose that the operators of
the two radio stations are careless
and allow their stations to wander a
little bit f‘off wave”, and that one is
working on 1,004,000 cycles and the
other on 1,006,000 cycles. The beat
note will now have a frequency of.
2000 cycles—sthe diﬂference between
1,006,000 and 1,004,000. 2,000 cycles
is approximately the pitch three oct-
aves above “middle C” on the piano.
Such a pitch will come though the
radio set strongly whenever it is
tuned to either of the offending radio
stations and satisfactory reception
will be impossible no matter how se-
lective the radio set may be.

Heterodyne come from the Greek.
“Dyne” means “force” and the ﬁrst
part of the word means f‘different..”’
Hence “different force” is a. literal
translation. In radio it means that
the combination of two wave forces
gives us a new force of different fre-
quency. Sometimes this new fr
quency is audible as in the exam
given above and sometimes it
new radio frequency as in the s
heterodyne type of radio recei _

Brookﬁeld Wyoming, No. 180451. 16vyear-old
purebred Guernsey of Larro-fed Argilla
Farm herd of S. M. Mcrri , Ipswich, Mass. R.
J. MacKenzie, Superintendent, feeds Larro to
the entire milking herd, including test cows.

ANOTHER splendid milk
producer has” put her
“OK” on Larro Dairy Feed.
When nearly 16 years old,
Brookﬁeld Wyoming, on a
dailylration of 15 lbs. of Larro,
headed the Class A Roll of Honor
of Massachusetts Guernseys for
August, 1927, with a record of
1670.2 lbs. milk, 91.53 lbs. fat in
31 days.

Mr. R. J. MacKenzie, Superinten-
dent, has fed Larro to his regular
herd for four years. From six to
ten cows are on test at all
, times and these also for the past
year have been fed straight Larro
as their regular daily grain ration.

Years of experience and top notch
records have convinced Mr. Mac-
Kenzie that Larro is the one best
ration—that its luniform high
quality produces the utmost in
health, milk and proﬁt for the
feeder every day in the year.

Put your cows on Larro now.
Change them over gradually to a
straight Larro ration. Be careful to
feed enough pounds of Larro as it
is very light and bulky. No matter
how much cheaper your present
ration may be, you’ll make more
money on Larro, above all feed
costs, than with any other ration
you can use.

SELF FEEDERS/ NOT GOOD
FOR CALVES .~
HE use of self-feeders'does not
«prove to 'be an efficient method
fer“ raising calves, because the
'calves eat too much protein material.
The calves also supply themselves
with a ration too expensive for grow-
ing animals, and keep too fat.

The dairy department at the
South Dakota State College has been
running an experiment with self-
feeders for calves for three succes-
sive years, trying to ﬁnd 0th how

calves would -balance 'their' OWn ra-‘

tion. .The experiment has prayed
that growing calves are not able to

select to the best advantage. the pro-

per food \for themselves.

The self-feeders used in the ex-ll

periment contained the following
feeds: corn, ground oats and whole
oats, oil meal, bran, alfalfa, and the
minerals, salt and bone meal. Skim
milk was also fed the calves twice
each day.

During the experiment With self- \-

feeders, another phase of the busi-
ness of raising calves came to the
attention of the dairy department,
for the calves used in the experiment
developed rickets.‘ Rickets is due
to lack of or poor assimilation of
minerals; but, as the calves had
plenty of minerals, the department
believes the disease was due to poor
assimilation of minerals because of
the lack of sunlight.

The barn in which the calves were
lfept is lighter than the average
barn, but the sun’s rays through
glass" are not enough.’ Growing
calves need the direct sunlight at
least one hour daily. .

 

FEEDING YOUNG PIGS

I have several pigs just weaned
and would like to ﬁnd out the very
best way to make them gain. We are
on a rented farm and there isn’t
much place to raise hogs. We had
to pen them up in a 14x14 foot pen
as they were into everything. Would
like to know just what to feed them
to make a balanced ration with them
shut up. We have to buy feed. Got
some bran and low grade ﬂour in
place of middlings, as they were out
“of middlings. Am feeding two parts
bran and one part ﬂour'with milk
and water. If this isn’t good will
you tell me just why? We have some
wheat in the elevator, do you think
itvwould pay to use that instead of
buying feed? Would like to know
just about how much to feed them
three times a day—Mrs. 0., Saranac,
Michigan.

N order to make the above pigs
gain as rapidly as possible they
should be given abundance’ of

feed and all of the different require-
ments necessary for rapid growth.
An excellent grain mixture for them
.would be on consisting of one hun-
dred pounds of corn or barley, ﬁfty
pounds of oats and ﬁfty pounds of
middlings. If you have enough skim
milk to feed from two to three
pounds of milk for each pound of the
above grain mixture the pigs would
do especially well. If you do not
have sufficient skim milk to feed this
amount I would advise the use of

some. digester tankage, adding .abdut,
twenty pounds -' of digester tanhge ‘
to they‘above «mixture. It is also .
quite possible that owing tothe'iiigh‘
price of corn you wouldnnd it inore

economical to use a law or piopor» -

tion of oats than is indic’ ”ted above.

I would not advise the use of bran
for pig feeding as it is too bulky and
rather laxative for young. pigs.
Would much prefer to feed them

ground oats rather than bran. As to
whether it would pay you to feed. ‘

this wheat or not this~ year depends
upon the comparative prices of
wheat and other grains which are
available. One hundred pounds of'
wheat contains eighty pounds of di- ‘
gestible nutrients, one hundred
pounds of standard middlings con-
ains sixty-nine pounds of. digestible
nutrients. The value of a. pound of
ground oats contains seventy pounds
of digestible nutrients, one hundred
pounds of corn contains eighty
pounds of digestible nutrients and

.one hundred pounds of barley about

seventy nine pounds of digestible
nutrients’. The value of a pound of
nutrients in any of these feeds is
about the same. Knowing your local
prices per hundredweight of feed
you can very readily compute the
cost of a pound of digestible nutri-
cuts in them and thus determine
which is the cheaper feed.

In order to make these pigs gain
rapidly they should receive about \
ﬁve per cent of their bodily weight
in grain daily or in other words, a '
ﬁfty pound pig should have, above
two and one-half pounds of grain
daily; If you were feeding plenty
of milk it would not require quite
this amount of grain. In addition it
would be well if you can give these
pigs some green feed each day. If
You had a small piece of clover or
alfalfa near at hand it would be well
to give the pigs some each day. If
not they could be given, access to
clover or alfalfa hay in a rack.

In addition they should have ac—
cess to some mineral matter. Hard
wood ashes are excellent for this
purpose. Where they are not avail—
able I would recommend the follow-
ing mixture: 45 pounds steamed
bonemeal; 20 pounds ﬁnely ground
limestone; 30 pounds of salt: 5
pounds of sulphur.—Geo. A. Brown,
Professor of Animal Husbandry,
Michigan State College.

 

_ VALUE OF SILAGiE

Please tell me the value of good
silage per ton? Thank you.—W. G.,
Grass Lake, Mich.

IFFERENT people have different
opinions as to the value of good
silage but most feeding special-

ists ﬁgure it is worth about one-
third as much as marketable hay.

 

Proﬁts are more per head and per
pound on good lambs than on inferior
ones; .

Good milk and plenty of -it make fat.

I have a young cow, just (rem,
with second call, that is dry on one
quarter. What could have possibly
«need this and is there a cure for
': it! This cow milked on all four

quarters before treshening this time
. and she gave nice ﬂow of milk up to
the time that she went dry. She has
never been sick or showed signs of
any disease. is '1'. B. tested and to
all appearance is in good health.—
H. 11., En Clair, Mich.

, HIS is due to some injury to the
J nerves that supply this quarter
l or the udder; the only thing
I that would be likely to bring the
1+. , milk to this quarter would be to
massage it well after each milking
, with ammonia liniment and to milk
‘3 it for, a while just as it it was giv-
lug milk: if this does not accom-
plish this there is nothing that can
be done.

 

 

 

LUNG WOBMS
I recently lost a fine 4 year old
- ewe. Did not seem to thrive all sum-
mer. A post mortem examination by
a veterinary revealed the following
condition; small {hairlike worms in
lungs, a softened brain and some
nodules on intestines. Veterinary
believed the lung trouble was the
cause of the death, the brain soften-
ing from the iever.—Subscriber,
Stanton, Mich.

THINK this ewe has lung worms;
this is commonly spoken of as
verminous bronchitis. It is taken

up usually in the pasture and aﬂects
the young mostly. Do not use the
same pastures again next year. It
you ﬁnd any affected animals remove
them from the ﬂock at once. I do
not think you will need to sell the
ﬂock it they are in good condition in
i all other ways. There is no satis-
factory treatment.

 

WOODEN TONGUE

What can I do for a young cow
that has had her ﬁrst call that has
what seems to me to be gastoror-
rhea? She is on grass and when she
lies down and chews her end she
loses a lot of the cud and a pool of
greenish saliva or gastric juice forms
on the ground, along with a lot of
patially chewed cuds under her
‘ month—A. Brandt, Moorcrott, Wyo.

THINK there is a possibility that
you are wrong in your diagnosis;
this may be wooden tongue or ac-

tlnomycosis. Examine this cow and
, see it her tongue is not still and
:hard. Then a n it might be a
ranula or ﬁlling u der the tongue or
it could be paralysis of the throat.
My first named condition I rather
think will be right. If this is true
, give this cow a dram of potassium
iodide night and morning in some
water as a drink or mix with a small
amount of grain. It takes 4 to 6
weeks to affect cure.

(Editor’s Note: Word has been
received from Friend Brandt advis-
ing Dr. Conn was right and by fol-
lowing his instructions the cow is

‘ almost well.)

 

 

‘ . RING BONE

. ) y I have a 12 year old mare that
had a ring bone start last spring.
It has been blistered three times but
it seems to do no good. Can you
tell me what to do?———M. 0., Gay-
lord, Mich.

, DO not know of a single thing
that is likely to help this condi-
tion in this 'mare; the usual

treatment is a blister and you seem

to have done a good job of it. You
might get Gumbaults Caustic Balsam
and try it. It the druggist does not
have it he can get it from The

R. DE LAVAL’S invention, in 1878, of the ﬁrst continuous
discharge centrifugal cream separator, was the founda-
tion of modern dairying and has done more than any

other one factor to develop the dairy industry into the largest f":
and most proﬁtable branch of agriculture. ‘ '

First in the beginning, the De Laval has kept in the lead I
ever since. Practically every detail of separator construction ?
has been De Laval originated. As De Laval features have been "
imitated, further De Laval improvements have been made. 1
Four million De Laval machines have been sold the world over.
They have always been the standard by which cream separators
were measured.

Now the 1928 “Golden Series” De Laval machines mark
another step forward. In a word, they are the most complete,
efﬁcient and beautiful cream separators ever made. They are
all that could be hoped for m such a machine. They must prove
a source of pride as well as proﬁt to every owner.

What is more‘we need the courage
'to carry out our convictions. Let us
illustrate! Over in Shiawassee
county at Corunna, to beexact, there
was a. thief working day and night.
He stole nearly everything he could
get his hands on, an’d’he lived rayal-
ly upon chickens, ducks and turkeys,
allied and prepared for him by. his

neighbors, to which he helped him-'

self all too freely. Many of» the
neighbors knew this thief was get-
ting away with their poultry and
other produce. Some lacked any
conviction in the matter whatso-
ever. Others were very open in their
conviction that this thief was a men-
ac'e to the community, but they
lacked courage to carry out their
.conviction fearing the thief would do

- them harm later on, perhaps burn a

barn, or their house, or something
of that nature, but Mr. Ed Follen
had the strong conviction that some-
thing should be done. and he was
not lacking in courage. Today he is
$50.00 to the good, for THE BUSINESS
FARMER pays rewards for courageous
conviction, and Mr. Thief has been
punished and is much less active at
his profession. Mr. Follen has ren-
dered a service to his community and
we are happy to have paid him
reward for his eﬂorts. ,.

How It Happened

During the month of October good
folks living in the neighborhood of
Route 2, Corunna, missed chickens,
other fowl and farm produce. Losses
became so great that it was felt
something should be done about it.
Suspicion pointed to a family living
in the woods near Edward F llen’s
home. When Mr. Follen/had occa-
sion to do some wood cutting of his
own near this family’s home, he
noticed that stumps and logs were
ﬁlled with chicken, duck and turkey
feathers. He was able to identify
some of the feathers as those which
were formely worn by seven of his
own ducks and turkeys. He had lost
many more chickens than this but
these were the last group to stray
from the chicken coop. Mr. Follen
immediately called the sheriff and
the man to whom all the suspicion
had pointed was arrested. At ﬁrst
he claimed he was innocent but when
the evidence became too strong, he
confessd his guilt. He was taken be-
fore Justice Nellie McBride of Cor-
unna, and now comes the sad part of
our story—get ready to cry with us!

Sympathy Lets Thief Oi! Easy,

When this man Weidman was
brought before the court, he sudden-
ly remembered his wife and children.
While he was doing all the stealing,
he apparently had forgotten his fam-

,. ﬂy in new that prison Beufwere
haul. :99

staring him’in the face, he be 7
good husband and father all at ‘once.

.Tears poured down his cheeks; he

pleaded for mercy for himself and
his lovedones so succesfully that he
got out of his trouble with a $16 ﬁne
and court costs. About the only
punishment this man received was a
few days in jail awaiting his trial.
Far be it for THE BUSINESS Fanmm
to wish to_ see any man locked up.
but unless our officers and courts
take chicken stealing out of the joke
calendar and see that proper pun-
ishment is given prisoners when they
are found guilty, all our efforts to
stop this evil will have been in vain.
Let a man steal a few dollars from
a bank and watch him "go over the
road with a good stiff sentence—but
let this same man steal hundreds of
dollars worth of poultry from the
farmers and it’s more or less a joke
——not a real crime, just a lark. How
long are we farmers going to stand
for such justice? No one felt sorry
for Edward Follen or his neighbors
who had lost valuable preperty, but
all the sympathy was poured out on
this poor man who had stolen the
property and suddenly remembered
he had been neglecting his family.

In Livingston county chicken steal-
ing is a crime, and dealt with ac-
cordingly, and the evil has been
stopped to a large extent. Five to
ﬁfteen year sentences do not look
good to the boys who chase chickens
at night with Ford trucks and gun-
ny sacks. We know the good farm
folks of Shiawassee county feel that
stealing chickens, is a real crime and
should be handled as such.

We have been asking for a. cour-
ageous conviction on the part of our
farmers in order to stop this steel-
ing, but now we want to ask of our
oificers and courts to take on some
of this some courageous conviction
fora chain is after all no stronger
than its weakest link, and unless the
chain is complete and the thief gets
proper punishment for his crime,
there will develop too much of that
feeling of “Oh what's the use”-—and
that would be disastrous to our
cause.

Let’s give our back-bone an ad-
justment, buckle up our courage and
get some real conviction on this sub-
ject of poultry and produce stealing.
What could not 100,000 folks do if
we were to get a real genuine con-
viction about poultry thieves? Let’s
all join hands, farmers, officers of
the law and our courts and advance
with the tide during 1928, writing
into this year a record.of real ac-
complishment, a day of doom for
rural thieves.

Predicts Bill Would Have Saved Hog Market

(Continued from page 3)

an excuse for stopping at that point.
President Coolidge did not follow
the farmer’s hogs to market nor note
his need of the $5.00 per head, which
this apparent surplus brought about-
What agriculture needs is called
“sales resistency." Concentrated buy-
ing power is irresittable against the
individuals selling power." Here is
the philosophy of the McNary—Haug-
en plan, namely to provide a. body of
producers with the price making pow-
er and the power built on reservoir-
ing the surplus which may be real or
apparent. Large industries exercise
this power by reason of their inherent
strength and by trade agreements.
The McNary—Haugen plan is compuls-
ory cooperation to completeness.
Those who hope to accomplish these
aims through cooperative marketing
may be said to believe that a min-
ority is a potent as unanimous accord.
The old rate bill for school purposes
was cooperative, the present support
by a tax levy is cooperation at its
fullness. .. .
If we had been working ‘under the
McNary—Haugen plan which President
Coolidge vetoed the swine advisory
board would have anticipated the 95
million pounds of surplus pork esti-
mated at 10c per pound on the farm
or 9% million dollars and levied an
equalization fee on about one and a
quarter million pounds or pork. This
at 10c per hundred would have cared

 

for this surplus and raised the price

, at the large markets and the weights

    

of pork by at least $2.25 per hundred

 

over the average price for 1927.

To be a little less speciﬁc, at the
cost of 50c per hog marketed the net
gain, would have been $4.50 per
head, and the surplus still to be real-
ized on. But that amount even though
the surplus was never sold or given
away. ' _

The price of hogs on the farm at
$10.00 per hundred is about in line
with the general price scheduled of
what the farmer has- to buy at the
present time. The actual hog price
is about 1.08 of prewar at 100 with
R. R. rates at 153 and general cost
of living at 170.

Looks Like Higher Prices

“It is never safe to prophesy unless

you know," but measuring the runs

it looks like higher prices for late
spring. The high price of feeds sends
hog to market on one hand and de-
lay fall pigs ﬁnishing on the other.

Advancing beef prices is also a
factor that will turn the consumer to
the cheaper pork and increase con-
sumption. The best calculations in-
dicate that the slump in hog prices
before the up turn Will be over $50,-
000,000 in the United States. If this
were anticipated proﬁts it would not
be so bad but it largely unrequited
feed and care that‘the farmer has’had.
taken away, with the “fatalisticf’
comfort that it was “the iaw of sun- *

Cured His Rupture

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

pletely cured me. Years have passed and
the rupture has never returned. although
I am doing hard work as a carpenter.

'9; tides of interest and beneﬁt to us.
‘ , However, we do not recall having
‘ever read in Tm: BUSINESS FARMER
anything regarding milk goats and
their possibilities in' Michigan so if
, you will permit we would like to tell
“a little of our experience with these
[remarkable animals.

‘ Milk goats have been popular in

 
 
  

>

a great many years where the Uni-
versity of California and New Mexico
College of Agriculture have done
considerable experimental work with
them, the ,former‘producing a world
champion Toggenburg doe with a
record of more than 400 pounds of
» milk in a year. Statistics show that
the milk goat produces from ten to
eighteen times her body weight in
milk per year whereas a cow pro-
duces in a much lower proportion
generally. Farmer’s Bulletin No.
920 United States Department of Ag-
_ riculture shows the butter fat con-
‘tent of goats’ milk to be about 40
per cent higher than cows’ milk. It
is not generally known that "goats’
milk contains nearly 10 times as
. much iron as cows’ milk and that
the journal of the American Medical
Society states that “goats' milk is
superior in‘every way to that of
the cow;” also “goats’ milk is' the
purest, most healthful and most com-
. gplete human food known.”
.' Contrary to general opinion goats’
lmilk does not have a strong “goaty”

ﬂavor or odor. That is as popular
‘ a fallacy as the old joke about goats
. thriving on a diet of tin cans. There
‘ is an objectionable 'ordor (to some
people) which comes only from the
‘, buck during rutting season. He
if should not be permitted to run with
i much cleaner and more particular
, about their food that cows. In spite
‘ of the fact that they are rather
Idainty eaters they are remarkably
teasy to keep and we would rather
‘; care for a dozen coats than for one
cow. ,
The difficulty has been that there
are comparatively few good milk
- goats in Michigan and city dwellers
'and others have found it difficult to
procure good goats’ milk readily. Mr.
.1 Frank Helm at Grass Lake, ‘Michi-
i gan, has a nice herd and sells milk
3' in Detroit but there does not seem

The Business Farmer Show. way
To Step Chicken Stealing ‘

HICKEN THIEVES are taking a million dollars a year out of the
pockets of the farmers of Michigan! We are going to do all we
can to stop these thieves and want to know if you are going to

work with us. In fact, you must work with us if this campaign is to
be a success. '

Knowing that our rewards can not entirely solve the problem we
.have given much thought to it and now recommend the following
things be done: ”

1. {but goo‘d‘looks on the doors of all buildings and either bu‘ windows or fasten
em 5 u .

2. Install burglar alarms.

a. Mark poultry with an Identifying mark which Is registered with poultry dealers,
sheriffs, and The Business Farmer Protective Service Bureau.

4. Organize county-wide anti-thief associations. .

5. Learn to shoot, and do not hesitate to do so when necessary.

8. Enforce poultry dealers' registr‘lou law.

UP TO YOU

These things are what you must do to protect your property! Locks can be
bought at any good hardware store. Burglar alarms can be made by anyone
who is at all handy and we will gladly furnish free of charge plans and instruc—
tions for both the silent and gong type alarms.

THE GONG ALARM

We recommend the gong type burglar alarm which is installed inside the
poultry house and makes a lot of noise when released. It a thief scarer
rather than a thief catcher because Mr. Thief will run right out from under his
hat when it goes off. Being all inside the co the thief can not disconnect it
so that it will continue to ring until turned off 1 the owner. If you do not care
to make one we will sell you a complete outﬁt, ready to install, for $6.50—the
bare cost of manufacturing and shipping.

OUR POULTRY MARKER

There are many poultry markers being sold to the blic but none of them
seem to be entirely satisfactory. Also we found most 0 them too high in price
for the average farmer. So we got in touch with a Chicago manufacturer who
guaranteed to make the kind of marker we had in mind, putting a different num-
ber on each one so that no two farmers would have the same mark. supply
enough special prepared ink to mark a hundred chickens and my mailing charges
to the door of the purchaser for $1.50 each. We accepted his offer and are
selling these at just what they cost us.-because we want to serve our readers
every way possible. THE Business FARMER’S Poultry Marker can be bought
only through us as we have the exclusive right to sell it in Michigan.

If you purchase a BUSINESS FARMER Poultry Marker you get a mark—the
initials “MBF” combined with a number—which is sold exclusively to you, so
that no one else will have poultry marked like yours. It is a simple operation
to apply the identifying mark on the web of the fowl’s wing and it lasts for the
life of the bird. We keep a record of all the markers we sell and supply this
record to all poultry dealers and sheriffs in Michigan as well as chiefs of police in
the larger cities. Then when a dealer is offered any poultry he can determine
at once if it is the rightful owner who is selling it. If it isn’t and the party
cannot produce a bill of sale from the rightful owner then the dealer can have
him arrested and charged with stealing. That means that thieves are going to
be careful about taking marked poultry. Order your marker TODAY before your
coop is visited It doesn’t pay to lock the barn after the horse is stolen you know.

pink should not be placed next to
yellow, red with blue 'or purple, and
so on. Various shades of. one color
are desirable together. Try to create
a real splash of color in a generous
section of the border rather than
several in a limited space.

Specimen evergreens and the ﬂow-
erlng trees of limited growth have
their places in the front yard (“D”
on sketch) but not directly in front
of the house if it can be avoided.
These are ﬁll-ins usually‘placed well
out from the borders, nearly in
front of the house corners and per-
haps half or two-thirds of the dis-
tance from road to house. Thus the
eye does not see too wide a break
in its sweep to: the center of the pic-
ture—the horme. Arbor-vitaes, blue
spruce, hemlocks or other symetrical
evergreens may be planted in tri-
angular groups of three, two in front
and a taller one to the rear spaced
six feet or more apart. Goups need
not be the same on both sides or
equal distance from the road or bor-
der. Exercise “careful carelessness”
in placing these or similar groups.

Flowering Trees

Among ﬂowering trees the. crabs
are exquisite in spring and may be'

obtained in shades of delicate pink
and white. Prunus Triloba, a ﬂower-
ing plum, is a cloud of rose pink to
gladden any winter-weary heart and
may be planted with Cornus Florida,
a ﬂowering dogwood in tree form
which blossoms snow-white in spring.
All are graceful and should be more
generally planted.

Utility and beauty are‘combined in
trees well-placed about the home
(“E" on sketch). Probably the
ideal planting consists of one or two
trees at three corners of the house
but, for the front corners, one on
each side, slightly back of the cor-
ners and twenty to thirty feet toward
the borders and one toward the road
from each corner about twenty feet
and slightly to the side would fulﬁll
requirements. Use [trees of quality
and fairly rapid growth here. Pop-
lars, box elders and catalpas are bet-
ter than none but are not included in
the list of desirable trees.

Groups of tall-growing shrubs
(“F” on sketch) placed towards the
borders opposite or a little to the
front of points outside the house cor~
ners are necessary and desirable be-
cause they aid greatly in the general
scheme to merge roof lines and the
ground in a natural manner. Lilacs,
particularly the grafted sort previ-
ously mentioned, are unsurpassed
here. The Althea, Rose of Sharon,
is one of the best with its grace of

line and late summer ﬂowers of re
blue, lavender or white. Any shruo
of your choice attaining a heighth
ten feet or more may be used in
group of three or more to the Bid:-
Always group shrubs and‘ keep th
spaces between them free of weed
and grass, of course.

The foundation planting is consi
cred last here but it is by no mea-
least in importance. Your house m

there is a question as to whether
fully merits the title of “home" u
less its lower lines are softened wit i.
foliage. A home in. a proper settin-
may have the appearance of havin-
grown naturally in its place—a h
py consumation. ' .

In this planting (“G" on sketch)
the house corners are first. A nearly:
circular bed at each corner may con
tain ﬁve or more shrubs of a variety
in groups. Usually these are medi’
um tall sorts of which the familial
Spirea Van Houtte is one of the best;
The new mock orange, Philadelphus,
Virginalis, is more than satisfactory '
in groups. Weigelias, certain deuti.
sins and others may be used it 0010
is wanted. On ‘the‘north side the list .
is limited but the splreas and snow«
berries are reliable in such locations; ,
Between the corners (“H” on sketch) :7;
it is good form to use lower sorts
with punctuation marks of tailor
sorts at porch pillars or on either,
side of the front steps; Besides th -
dwarf varietles mentioned for th
front corners of the yard the golde ‘
syringe, Philadelphus aurea. is I. ﬁn ‘
contrasting shrub with spirea m- . z ’
berry. If you live in a region favor-
able to the growth of broadleaved,
evergreens you are doubly fortunate",
as it greatly increases the pleasing
variety of suitable shrubs from which
to choose. Shrubs about the home
should be planted outside the drip-
llne of the eaves. - .

The varieties suggested in this pa-
per are only a part of the long list of
desirable things to plant and the list
varies with location but the elements
of proper arrangement are here: The
open—centered lawn, the arrangement
of trees, the planted borders and cor-
ners and the foundation planting. '

OAT SPROUTER

PROUTED oats ﬁve to seven inch-
es high make very good poul-
try feed. It s an economical

means of supplyin'g green food to
poultry during the winter months
whenthis kind of feed is apt to be
short. _ ,

Probably the best method of
sprouting the oats is to soak in warm
water 48 hours, thenlput them in
the ﬂats of the oat s'prouter rack,
and to the thickness-of one inch.
sprinkle with water twice a day.
They shouldbe kept at a. temper-
ature of around 60 to 70 degrees F.
In seven to ten days the oats should
be 4 to 6 inches high and ready to
feed.

A good grade of well developed

oats should be used, and this is

usually necessary because the size '

and vitality of the sprouted oats will
depend on the amount' of stored
nourishment in the oats.

One square inch of feeding surface ’

per bird per day is sufficient to satis-
fy their appetites. Thus a rack that
has seven ﬂats with 4 square feet in
each rack will supply green feed for
500 birds throughout winter months.

All the material you will require-
for the oat sprouter is as follows:
4 pieces, 6-ft. post, 2 in. x 4 in.; 1
piece, 12—ft. braces and caps,.2 in. x
4 in. , 1 piece, 16 back braces, 1 in.
x 4 in.’ ., 36 lineal feet, 1% x 1% in.,
slides for ﬂat.

For the ﬂats you will need 56 feet;
1 x.4,=‘for the sides and ends; and
28 board feet 36 in. material for
ﬂat bottoms.

00D LIVER OIL HELPS
HENS LAY
OD LIVER OIL is an important
item in winter rations for poul-
try because it helps to maintain
egg productidn, prevents lameness,

and helps them to lay strong-shelled

eggs. It contains vitamins A- and D
which promote growth and maintain
vitality and disease resistance, says
the state college 0f agriculture at
Ithaca, N. Y.

Cod liver oiljis essential to hens
that are clusely housed during win.-
ter . Vitamin D in the oil is a sub-
stitute for direct sunlight, accord-
ing to poultrymen at the college,
who say its use, therefore, is most
desirable during winter and early
spring when direct sunshine cannot
be' used or when little is available.

This oil, which is the richest
known source of these vitamins, is
usually fed for its-vitamin ‘1); al—

though vitaminA is present in the ~

oil, it is not so important as vitamin
D because yellow corn and leafy
green feeds contain enough of vita-
min A to meet the ordinary require-
ments of poultry.‘

Poultrymen may use the cheaper
grades of cod liver 011 because they

-.are_ less expensive nnd- contain the

essential vitamins in the same quan-
tity as in the other grades. In feed-
ing cod liver oil during winter and
early spring, add one per cent of

oil to the dry mash portion of theyj
this is
slightly? more; than. on; pint of coa-

poultry ration. 7.. Roughly.
liver oil to: one hundred pounds of
mash. This quantity of oil in the
mash will provide approximately one.-

half or one per cent of oil In the

whole ration of grain and mash.

fact, an egg. laid in the winter is

is true, the added feeding necessary

one fact that, most, «
This is

There is

poultry raisers overlook.
that hens cannot lay eggs in win-
ter when given the same feed as in
the ' spring When .new sprou-ts and
other food'elements are plentiful. To
get moreeggs in winter there is one
rule to remember.
"Hens have more work to do in
order to lay eggs in winter than any
other time of the year. For one
thing, feed must furnish fuel for
keeping them warm. ~To manufac-
ture whites, yolks and shells of eggs
requires a. healthy body supplied
with certain food elements which
hens naturally pick up in the spring
and summer. One of these impor-
tant food elements, or rather a num—
ber _of them, have been found to be
contained in buttermilk.‘

Lactic acid, milk proteins and

_vitamins are easy to supply in the

laying mash by the addition of 10
per cent or more of dried buttermilk.
A ration consisting of 25 pounds

Wheat'bran, 25 pounds standard mid— '

dlings‘,""30‘ pounds '601‘11. ifféiil, “1'0”
pounds aalfalfaineal, 5 pounds‘bone
meal and 15 pounds dried butter-
milk has given ﬂne results. In feed-
ing, the laying mash should be kept
before the ﬂock all the time and

should be supplemented by fee‘d‘ing‘

scratch grain twice a day.
By including the dried buttermilk
with the dry mash, poultry raisers

overcome the bother- of freezing as,

well as the trouble of keeping that is
encountered when liquid buttermilk
is fed. Dried buttermilk is easy to
keep and easy to feed, yet it sup-
plies the very food elements needed
for hens to lay in cold weather.

Many poultry raisers who have
provided warm houses and have been
disappointed by no increase in egg
production, will be surprised by the
results given from feeding a. good
egg laying mash.

Dry buttermilk is now‘ recognized

as an important element in the

chick’ s ration, especially for promot-
ing a 'rapid, healthy growth, and.
helping prevent many of the digestive
disasters that chicks are subject. to.
including the prevention of’white di-
arrhea.-—W. E. Stanﬁeld, Farmstead,

ULTRY dose not receive the size
tentio‘ir on Word county
' farms that it deserves,” stated
Prof. J. A. Hannah, of M8. 0., at
the two-day poultry school ‘conducted
at Cadillac January 17 and 18. “Your
cesus ﬁgures show that you have
about 80,000 birds in the county.
This divided equally among your
1200 terms gives an average of 60
perform. It is very difficult to make
a flock of fifty birds pay. It is not
an economical ﬂock to handle and it
is expensive to house, diificult to
properly house and not large enough
to warrant much consideration. With
properly designed houses and ﬁxtures
it is as easy to care for 200 or mere
as for 40 or 50.

“The poultry business is the
third largest agricultural business in
the United States. In 1927 the sale
of poultry products amounted to
$1,319,000,000-. Mic h i g a 11 pro-
duced six per cent of this grand
total. There is money in the poul-
try business if you go at it in the
right way. If you have a ﬂock
of 100 birds and they do not re-
turn you an average of $2.50 per
bird over and above the» market
value of all feeds consumed, whether
raised or purchased, there is some-
thing wrong with your birds, your
house, your feeding or yourself.
Many poultrymen secure returns of
$3.00 and $4.00 over cost of feed
per bird under average marketing
conditions. The purpose of this
school is to bring to your attention
facts that will enable you to make
the farm ﬂocks in Wexford county
better.

“The poultry business is depend-
ent on four very important factors.
The success one has with poultry
is very largely dependent on the
considerations each of these factors
receives: 1. Well fed birds; 2,
well housed for winter laying; 3,
well fed; 4, kept free from disease.

“At the present time and during
the next few years little if any
money has been made in the pro-
duction of meat. The proﬁt in poul-
try must be made in the sale of
eggs. The sale of meat is of second-
ary consideration.

"In order to make a reasonable
proﬁt on eggs the ﬂock must come
into and maintain a satisfactory pro-
duction from October 15th to No-
vember ﬁrst for the rest of the
winter.

“A satisfactory poultry house is
one that is comfortable for the birds
and healthy. The above conditions
can be met if the house is tight on
three sides so as to eliminate drafts,
is well lighted, well ventilated and
easily kept clean.

“In housing birds one should
consider the number of birds the
building will house comfortably. In
general, for the heavy birds four
square feet of ﬂoor space should be
provided while for the lighter breeds
three square feet is sufficient.”

In determining whether a house
is well lighted Prof. Hannah stated
“If on dark days the inside of the
house is as light as that outside, the
house is properly lighted. In gen-
eral there should be one square foot
of glass for each ten square feet of
ﬂoor space and this should be evenly
distributed.

“A poultry house is well ventilated
if it is. sweet smelling when entered
the ﬁrst thing in the morning. If the
strong odor of ammonia is detected
additional ventilatin should be pro-
vided. Litter should keep dry for at
least ten days or two weeks. In
many well designed houses the litter
is changed no oftener than once a
month. .

“To secure proper ventilation one
outlet 14x14 inches reaching to
within 12 or 14 inches of the ﬂoor
and extending above the highest
point of the roof should be provid-
ed for each 20 feet of’house length.
Also two inlets should be construct-
ed having dimensions of at least 4
inches by 2 feet each. Glass sub-
stitutes have little value here as
they are as expensive as glass and
cod liver oil must be fed from De-

Market ForeikMost‘Grains GenerallyFirm V

 
 

' Cattle Prices Advance While Hogs Go Lower

By Market News Service, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. 8. D. A.
(Special to Tim Busmmss FARMER)

HE last half of January shows
stronger market conditions fol-
lowing the unsettled and de-

clining tendency of the ﬁrst part of
the month. Recent price gains or
recoveries were mostly in grain,
feeds, livestock and potatoes. Cot-
ton and dairy products continued
weak features as for most of the
month.
‘ Grains

The market for the principal
grains has held generally ﬁrm since
the middle of January with oats
prices at the highest point on the
crop and corn prices holding steady
in the face of materially larger re-
ceipts. Cash premiums for wheat
held ﬁrm with offerings of soft Win-
ter wheat below market require-
ments. Rye was also ﬁrm and bar-
ley was steady although the offerings
of the latter grain at some markets
Were materially larger.

The heavier movement of new
wheat from the Southern Hemi-
sphere is now a dominant factor in
the world’s wheat market situation.
World markets, however, are holding
steady and offerings are being well
absorbed as they arrive in the Euro-
pean markets.

Feeds

High grain prices tended to
strengthen the feed market and pric-
es of most feeds ruled higher in
spite of the mild weather prevailing
over most of the country during the
week. Offerings of feeds were read-
ily taken on the whole although a
good output of wheat feeds at Buf-
falo caused a downward trend in
wheat feed prices in that market.
Feed quotations were fractionally
higher at most other points in spite
of the increased production. Red
dog and ﬂour middlings were rela-
tively dull while liberal offerings of
. middlings and shorts weakened the
market for these feeds. Some oper-
ators appeared to be accumulating
stocks of heavier wheat feeds against
the feeding season later in the
spring.

Cottonseed meal continued ﬁrm
with production of only moderate
volume. Gluten feed was again
higher with the limited offerings now
moving rapidly into consuming chan-
nels. Hominy feed was more freely
offered and prices declined at most
markets in spite of the decline in
corn. Alfalfa meal was generally
ﬁrm.

Hay

The hay markets were generally
showing an easier tendency during
the week. The ﬁrmness which had
been apparent in the markets during
the past two weeks had given way
under pressure of heavier offerings.
Demand was moderate and prices
tended downward.

Eastern , timothy markets were
fairly active although supplies were

mostly fully equal to, or in excess ‘

of, demand. Heavy receipts of al-
falfa at certain western markets
were readily absorbed with only
slight changes in price levels, except
for very leafy types which were
somewhat in excess of the demand at
Kansas City. Large receipts of prai-
rie with extremely limited demand
and a large proportion of medium to
lower grades among the offerings
weakened the market for this class
of hay.
Livestock .

A well sustained marketward
movement of hogs, moderate de-
crease in cattle marketings, and a,
rather pronounced decrease in ar-
rivals of sheep and lambs at 11 large
primary markets featured the third
week of January as compared with
the week previous.

' Cattle . ’

At Chicago the market for good
and choice ~fed steers advanced early
in the week but losses in the sale of
the dressed. preduct at eastern ‘conf-
‘suming centers were subsequently

 

   

reﬂected by material curtailment of
shipping demand“ for such kinds
which closed 25 to, 50 cents lower
than a. Week earlier.

Hogs _

A .narrowing price range was
shown in the Chicago hog market.
The e’better grades of butcher hogs
weighing upward from ,160 pounds
closed 15 to 20 centslower than a
week previous. '

Wool

Wool prices on the Boston market
continued to strengthen during the
week ended January 21, with price
gains more marked and general on
woolen than on worsted wools, al«
though both types showed strength.
With the more restricted selection of
good combing wools and an im-
proved outlet for. woolen wools, the
shorter, heavier shrinking original
bag wools moved much more readily
than a few weeks previous. There

cause holdings in cold storage are
light, and the market responds easily
to changes in quantity of fresh res
ceipts varying .with the weather.

. Continued mild weather would‘ be

likely to bring a rapid increase of
shipments usual, in' late winter.
Otherwise Conditions seem favorable.

Poultry
Poultry markets also are support-
ed by a favorable storage situation.
Receipts also have been light for
some time- and prices have remained
steady for fully at month past.
Produce

Shipments of southern produce .

have been increasing and prices de-
clining.
fruit were exceptions with higher
prices for best stock,'although mar-
ket was unfavorable for the poor
quality fruit. Best oranges ranged
$4 to $4.50 per box and grapefruit
$3.50 to $4 in central Florida. Haul-
ings of Texas spinach have been in-
creasing since the middle of the
month and prices receding from the
unusually high levels reached the
middle of January. Celery declined
at Florida shipping points slightly.
New"York celery sold $2.15 to $2.25
per two-thirds crate. Good tomatoes

Butter

Increasing supplies of butter in-
cluding considerable imported stock
have weakened the market without
bringing any severe decline. A price
around 48 cents is at a level not
likely to increase much because it
would then pay to import butter, and
not likely to decline far until pro-
duction shows further gain. Stor-
age butter is going into market in a.
satisfactory way.

Cheese has shown no change in

are higher and production less com-

is that the market is strong and on
