That evening as Mr. Brisbane ap—

seemed to be in perfect harmony.

farm records causes one to think and

‘study his business more closely. I

ﬁnd it a real pleasure, [not only this,
but I am sure it has been very proﬁt-
able for 1119. Five years ago I was
in the same condition you. are in
today. Far‘m life was a .humdrum
affair and I was pretty niuch. discour-
aged, but as luck wou d have it I

" happened to attend one of the meet-

ings conducted by the county agricul-
tural agent, when he was discussing

factors affecting farm income, and
during the meeting a specialist from .

the College discussed farm records
and the importance of keeping them.
He convinced me that I was neglect—
ing one of the important phases of

I my farm by not keeping records, so

I decided to start at once. (I secured
a set of books at the county agricul-

. tural agent’ s office and started in. I

had always felt that farm record

‘ keeping was too complicated and
. that it would require a large amount
' of time, ” admitted Jones.

"That is the way I feel about it,

. Mr. Jones, and for that reason I nev-

er attempted to keep records, but
you must have changed your mind."

"Yes, I have,” continued Jones.
ﬁnd it takes about ﬁve minutes a.

' day, and I can assure you it is the
‘ most proﬁtable time I put in.

Since
my oldest boy joined the pig club,
he has become interested in accounts,
and I have turned the books over to
him. You would be surprised to see
h0w much interest he is taking in
the work.

“Why, do you know that we can
tell at the end of every month just
what condition we are in ﬁnancially.

I have been able to study my"

'“I .

Wealso know just which enterprises
are paying be’st. About two years
ago I wished to make a loan from
the bank and after they went over
my records they did not hesitate in
giving me the amount I desired,
without any security.

“I also belong to a cow testing as-
sociation and you would be surprised
if I told you that by [culling the
drones out of our herd and feeding
a more balanced ration I have in-
creased the net proﬁts $25. 00 per
cow’

Briebane’ s interest was thoroughly
aroused.

“This sounds“ interesting," he said.
“Would you mind explaining to me
just how you go about it to keep
your records? I do not understand
just wha :items should be consid-
ered and. ow to set up the books."

”Justz‘be seated here at my desk
and I ,Mll explain what a simple
matterffit is to keep farm records,”
said ,, ‘es, as he drew up two
chair ‘

“0 a’course, you see, the books I
have are all outlined when I get
them,"-he began. “This makes it
easy tinfollow. There are also many
short outs, thus eliminating a large
amount of *nnneeessary work. The
ﬁrst thing to do is to take an in-
; ventory of all the farm property. This
is the biggest job you will have, re-
quiring about one-half day. But you
will be‘surprised to know how much
capital you have invested in your
business. I found after going over
my'inventory that I had a lot of
dead capital and money tied up in
useless tools and livestock that were
not paying.

“Since I took the ﬁrst inventory
ﬁve years ago I have watched these
factors very closely and have .grad-
ually worked into equipment and
livestock that pay better.

RURAL THEFT REWARDS EXTENDED-
TO INCLUDE ‘ALLFARM PROPERTY I

N September 1926, The Michigan Business Farmer declared war on

the poultry thieves of Michigan.

$1,000 was posted to be paid in

$50 rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction

of poultry thieves.

A few months later when we found that these

thieves were not stopping at the stealing of poultry alone, we posted
an additional $500 to be paid in $25 rewards for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of thieves stealing other live stock aside
from poultry and farm produce, the automobile and truck being the
only exceptions, automobile insurance covering this class of property.

Since we started this campaign, we have spent more than $3, 000

in ﬁghting the rural thieves.

Real tangible results have been accomo

plished, many rewards have been paid and over sixty men and women

have been put behind prison bars.

one Decides to Keep Farm Records.

TA VlSlt With His Neighbor Convinces Him He Should Be Using Business Farming Methods

my inventory is classiﬁed comprising
the land and buildings, livestock,
machinery and tools, feeds, other
supplies, cash, bills renewable, and
bills payable ”

- “How do you value the property?”
inquired Brisbane.

“It is difficult at the outset to

'place values on some of the proper-

ty,” Jones went on, “but once start—
ed you will not ﬁnd it hard. The
main thing to watch is the determin-
ing of fair values, for if the property
is inﬂated the income will be high
per unit investment.

“In taking an inventory of my
land and buildings, I try to arrive
at a fair sale value which I do not
change in the inventory taken at the
end of the year unless I have made
same marked improvements on the
farm or buildings. In placing a
value on my livestock and feeds
raised I ﬁnd that the sale or market
value is satisfactory. 0n machinery
I use the purchase price less depre-
ciation costs. ”

“But, Mr. Jones, do you not ﬁnd
it rather difficult to ﬁgure these de—
preciation costs?” inquired Brisbane.
"For instance, I have a binder that is
ten years old and I paid $225.00 for
it, what should I value it at now?"

“I am glad you brought this up
for this example applies to many
other pieces of equipment," Jones
said. "There are several ways of ﬁg-
uring depreciation, but I ﬁnd this
way the most satisfactory. Now
how long do you ﬁgure your binder
will last?”

“About ﬁve years," Brisbane an-
swered, after considering the ques-
tion :Ior a few seconds.

“That would make it ﬁfteen years
old~when you trade it in for a new
one and you wil probably get about
$25. 00 for it. Subtracting the $25.00
from the $225. 00 you will have
$200. 00 left which is the amount the
in the ﬁfteen
years in use, or an annual depreci—
ation of $13.33 per year. Figuring
on this basis your binder would be
Worth $66.66 at present. Is that
clear?” '

“Yes, I understand that, but just
how do you arrive at a fair value on
your buildings?”

“Well, that is a more difficult
problem, Mr. Brisbane, but I ﬁnd
that the important thing is to keep
the value of the buildings in line
with the value of the farm as a
whole. If your buildings have been
built in recent years, you can ﬁgure
cost less depreciation on the above
plan; or replacement value less de-
preciation for the time they have
been built. I ﬁgure from one to
three per cent depreciation on my
buildings yearly. So far I have only
mentioned the assets. In order to
complete the inventory you must
take into consideration the. amount
you owe others as payments on ac-
count, notes, mortgages, etc., and
subtract them from the assets to get
your net worth. But this is not all
in order to arrive at your net farm
income and the amount received
from sales of various enterprises you
must keep a record of your receipts
from the sales of farm produce and
The differ-
ence between these two items plus or
minus the difference between the

As

of Britton,‘ was announced as the

champion corn grower "of“Michigan‘.‘

This announcement was made .atthe
annual banquet of the Michigan Crop
Improvement Association held dur-
ing Farmers’ 'Week at East Lansing.
The Corn. Contest is a project-which
is sponsored by the Farm Crops %
partment of the College and E
Michigan Crop Improvement Associ-
ation. 1927 marked the ﬁfth season
that this cooperative «project has
been carried on. The winner, Mr.
Clement, is an outstanding corn

grower in the State and for a num—»

ber of years has been producing a
strain. of com of his; own; selection,
known. as Clement's White Cap,
which is very well adapted to the
southern section of the state. .» t , ‘

The yield obtained by Mr. Clement

this year in winning the high honors -

was one. hundred seven bushels of.

This yield should not be confused.
with, the measurement in baskets; at
ear corn, from which many growers
calculate their crops of. com. Mr.
Clement was the only grower in
1927 who reached the one hundred
bushel mark. This: is a remarkable
achievement for any Michigan farm:-
er and has been attained only four
times in the past ﬁve. years by com
contest winners.

The. placing of the awards in the
corn mtest is made- on the basis of
the greatest income (per/acre above
the cultural costs of producing the
crop. The costs of harvesting, taxes,
overhead and marketing are not in-
cluded in calculating the results at
the contest in Michigan, although
they do represent some of the actual
costs of production.

’ $89.99 Per Acre

On December .lst, 1927, the price
of shelled corn Was given at. ninety-
eight cents, as compared to seventy-
three'cents, the price at the same
date in 1926'. At the rate of ninety-
eight cents per bushel, Mr. Clement’s
crop had a market value of $105.17
per acre. From this 'ﬁgure was sub-
tracted $15.18, representing the
actual cultural costs of production

most successful crops show ever held
in the state. The number of com-

petitors and educational exhibits was

more than, doubled~in both the
grain and potato departments. Over
900 competitive entries in the open
c l a s s e s, Smith—Hughes Vocational
classes, and the Boys and Girls 4—H
Club classes made a display that will
long be remembered by the record
Farmers’ Week crowd that viewed
them. ' '

The entire show was housed in
two mammoth rooms in the new Dem-
onstration Hall. One room, called
the arena, was given over to general
assembly meetings and a,huge com—
modity exhibit featuring the produc-
tion,
potatoes. This exhibit, cooperatively
staged by various departments of the
college, the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment Association, the State Depart—
ment of Agriculture, Michigan Pota-
to Growers’ Exchange, Michigan Cer-
tiﬁed Seed Potato Growers’ Associa—
tion and seVeral implement compan—
ies and private dealers, occupied the
entire wall space at each end of the
arena. The keynote of the exhibit
was “GROW BETTER POTATOES”
and ways and means of doing so
were very effectively portrayed.

The competitive potato exhibits
were arranged on long tables sur—
rounded on three sides by this mam—
moth wall display. Both county group
,and open class spud honors were

' carried off by'Otsego county farmers

under the able leadership of their
county agricultural agent, A.
Lytle. To Leon Mankowski, Gay—
lord, went the honor of having the
best peck of potatoes. Lloyd Skel—
ton, also of Gaylord, placed second
in the open class, second in the seed
class, first in the class for the best
potato and for the greatest number
of individual winnings. Honors in
the Russet Rural class went to Ed
Sutton, Central Lake, and in the any
other variety class, George Harrison,
Manton, won with a splendid sample
of White Rurals.

The “Better Seed Trophy” award—
ed by the Michigan Crop Improve-
ment Association to the county agri—
cultural agent having the largest
number of winning exhibitors from
his county in all potato, grain and
seed classes was awarded to Don
Jewell of Tuscola county. Mr. Jewell
had a total of 13 winning exhibitors
to his credit; seven in grain, corn
and seeds and six in potatoes. The

' 00m Show

The corn show was the largest
ever witnessed by a Farmers’ Week
crowd. The entire Lower Peninsula
was generously represented by the
best corn its farmers had to offer.

Beginning with the southern four
tiers of counties or district one.
Kuhn brothers, Vicksburg, carried
off high honors in yellow dent, fol-
lowed,closely by A. W. Jewett, Jr.,'
of Mason. ’Over 30 contestants made
this class one of the keenest in the
entire show. The highest award in
the white—cap or any other dent
class went to William Folks of Han—
over, a top winner in this same class
last year.

Fifty ear class honors in district
one were captured by A. W. Jewett,
Jr., Mason, with an excellent sample
of pedigreed Polar Dent. Milo Rob-
inson, Union City, came in for second
honors.

District two, or the remainder of
the state was well represented by
exhibits. J. C. Wilk, St. Louis, and
A. P. Shankel, Wheeler, both of
(lratiot county, were ﬁrst and second
Winners in the Yellow Dent class.
These same winners likewise placed

in the same order in the‘ ﬁfty ear
class .from district two and the single
ear class open to the entire state.

The pedigreed corn classes served,

to acquaint the visitors with the
leading Varieties generally recom—
mended for uSe in every section of
the Lower Peninsula. P. A. Smith,
Mulliken, duplicated his achieve-
ment of last year by winning ﬁrst in
the Golden Glow class. Mr. Smith
is an outstanding grower of high
quality certiﬁed and registered Gold-
en ‘Glow. The M. A. C. Dent class,
well represented by growers through-
out southern Michigan found Allan
Eaton of Grand " Ledge and Roy
Wright of Butternut the holders of
the blue and red ribbons respectively.
Pickett honors went to Milo Robin-
son, Union City, and Jesse W. Pick—
ett of Caledonia. .

First honors in Duncan and Clem-
ent’s White Cap classes went to A.
W. Jewett, Jr., Mason, and P. C.
Clement, Britton, respectively.

The Polar Dent class, an added
feature this year, was made up of a

goodly number 01" contestants. A. W. ,

Jewett, Jr., Mason and Farley broth-
ers, Albion, captured ﬁrst and second
honors respectively.

The job of selecting a swoepstakes
ten ear sample over all, demanded
very close and intensive study on the
part of the judges. The sweepstakes
ribbon was placed on a beautiful
sample of Wilk's Yellow Dent corn

exhibited by J. C. Wilk, St. Louis.

Another added feature to the corn
show was the grading class, the pur-
pose of which was to detmmin} the
skill of certiﬁed corn growers in pro-

First and second honors went to A.’

‘W. Jewett, Jr., Mason and Arthur C.
Schafer, Unionville, respectively.
Fifteen contestants competed. in this

' class. \

Leaving the corn classes, the visi-
tors next had occasion to view 'the
winning small grain and seed sam-
ples. First and second honors in

' rye went to H. Herringhausen, A1—
pena, and Earl Hayward, Bay City,
respectively. -

In the soft red winter wheat class,
F. L. Houghton, Alto, and C. D.
Finkbeiner, Saline, carried off ﬁrst
and second honors. Honors in the
Berkeley Rock and semi-hard winter
Wheat class went to J. C. Wilk, St.
Louis, and G. P. Phillips, Bellevue,
respectively. The white winter Wheat
class was very popular this year with
approximately 35 contestants com-
peting for honors. E. E. Pike and
son and F. H. Mantey, both of Fair-
grove, broke into the winning class
and captured ﬁrst and second prizes,
respectively. F. H. Mantey brought
added honor upon himself and his
brother seed growers by winning

- ﬁrst and sweepstakes in the six-row
White Spring Barley class. D. A.
Geddes, Saginaw, followed with a
red ribbon. Michigan Black Barbless
barley winners were Howard Hardy.
and Earl Hayward, respectively, both
of Bay City. Mr. Hardy, a new ex-

. hibitor at the show, exhibited an ex-
cellent sample.

Again Mr. Mantey brought home
the bacon by winning ﬁrst and
sweepstakes in cats." The cat class
comprised the largest number of
high quality samples ever assembled,
and‘ towin in face of such keen com—
petition can be regarded as a real
achievement.

The high quality of the Michigan
white pea bean was again proved to
the visitors in a class made up of
samples entered frOm nearly every
bean growing section of the state.
First and second honors went to J.
C. Wilk, St. Louis, and George and
L. G. Hutzler, South Manitou Island.
respectively. .

First honors in red kidney beans
went to D. A. Geddes, Saginaw. Al
Hagelshaw, Union City, claimed sig-
nal honors in the red clover class ex-
hibiting a sample of exceptional
purity and appearance.

Fifteen competitive alfalfa seed
exhibits made up the largest Mich-
igan grown alfalfa seed class ever
assembled at the show. A. L.
Wright, Deckerville, a pioneer in the
production of alfalfa seed took the
blue ribbon followed closely by Wes-
ley Motz of Elkton.

Probably the success of the entire
show can best be expressed in the
Words of Ira H. Butterﬁeld, father of
the president of Michigan State Col-
lege and a pioneer of Michigan agri—
culture, “The most outstanding ar-
ray of exhibits I have ever seen in
all my years of experience."

Poultry Dealers of State Must Observe New Law

EPORT‘S continue to come to us
that some of the poultry dealers
in Michigan are not living up to

our new law which requires a record
of every purchase. Some of these
buyers are ignorant of the law which
went into effect September 5th, 1927,
and when it is called to their atten-
tion they hasten to comply with it at
once while there are others who
seem to treat it rather lightly.

This new law was passed by the
last legislature for a purpose and
that was to help curtail the thievery
going on in rural sections of Michi-
gan. If a man knows that when he
sells some poultry he must give his
name and address, tell if the poul-
try belongs to him and if not from

‘whom he purchased it, and have the
dealer take the license number of his
car or truck, he will think twice be-
for attempting to market stolen
poultry. These records are to be
kept by the dealer for a year and be
available at any time for inspection
by officers of the law. '

-- Anyone can see the value of keep-
ing such records, and the dealer who

 

 

deliberately ignores the require-
ments of this law, after being fully
informed of it, is a good friend of
the thieves and deserves being re-
ported to the officers. Further,
farmers should not market their
su'rplus poultry through him.

If there are any dealers in your
locality who are not observing the
new law ask them if they know
about it. If they do not, explain it
to them and advise that they can se-
cure the necessary blanks without
charge from the office of the Secre-

‘ ' 8 I stated in an article published
in a recent issue of M. B. F., a
.. _ very limited amount of seed was
released this year and this amount
was allotted to a number of the
growers who have been producing
small grain seed under the direction
- and certiﬁcation of the Michigan
5-: Crop Improvement Association. As
a rule, there has been but one allot-
ment to each county and as there
were only two hundred ﬁfty bushels
ot- the Spartan seed at the beginning,
this supply has been entirely taken
care of. Undoubtedly by planting
time in 1929 there will be a suﬁi-
cipnt amount of this seed available
for the demand at that time. ——R. H.

Our school voted on paying full tui-

charges "for each pupil past the 8th
grade. At this meeting only a small
percentage of the voters were pres-
ent. Can this be voted on again and

How‘ to Save on Cost of Fuel

NE of the common "causes of
O waste with all heating systems
is dirty boiler ﬁues.‘ An eighth
of an inch of soot on the heating
surface of the furnace or boiler, is
estimated will increase the coal bill
twenty per cent. To prevent this,
clean the ﬁnes once a. week with a
long handled wire brush. The chim-
ney needs cleaning yearly, or oftener
when soft coal is used. This will
increase the draft and -_lessen the
ﬁre‘ hazard. .
Another method of savingfuel is
to keep the air in the house moist.
At least two degrees lower tempera-
ture are needed when the air is
moist. Some people claim that they
feel quite comfortable at even 10
degrees lower. ‘Moist air is also bet-
ter for the health. Ten gallons of
water a day are not too much to
evaporate in a medium— sized house.
A house with a hot air furnace

needs a big water pan-with a large
surface exposed. The pan should be
set well up in the warm air space
to allow rapid evaporation, and' it
should be placed. over the combustion
chamber. The pan may be kept ﬁll-
ed automatically with a ﬂoat valve
device. Pans of water kept overgor
inside the registers are of some help.

For steam or' hot water heaters.
evaporation pans may be bought
which are designed especially for the
purpose and which usually hang on
the back of the radiator. Each radi-
ator should have one such pan, and
to be effective, it must be kept ﬁlled.
Wicks or pads of absorbent material
hanging behind the radiator with one
end in the pan of water increase the
evaporation. While these pans are
of some help, they do not usually
evaporate more than a small frac-
tion of the water necessary for best
results.

A special meeting of the district
could not be legally called for the
purpose of compelling the director

A school board has authority to

IT IS within your power to shorten the
time required to grow and mature ﬁrst.

quality crops by the" liberal use of proper
type plant foods.

Think ”what this means—being prac-
tically able to do away with immature

'soft corn and chaffy wheat and to secure

the higher prices realized for best quality
grain! _ .

Springs are frequently late, and frosts
too often come early.

As natural soil fertility decreases, soft
corn increases and nubbins multiply. The
increase in immature com the past few
years is not so much due to change of

season, or late, wet spring, but to the.

constant depletion of the original plant
food minerals from the soil. Cornland soils
are becoming more, and more unbalanced
as crop after crop is taken off, with a never-
ending removal of the minerals necessary
to plant life. Much formerly fertile soil has
given up so much of its available plant food
minerals and nitrogen that its power to
produce nitrates for the early spring needs
is diminishing.

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion during 1926 and 1927, by using 300 to
400 pounds of a complete fertilizer together
with manure, has decreased the time be-
tween corn planting and silking from 20 to
30 days, on one soil type, as compared
with “no treatment” plots. Shortening the
growing period may be . of great impor-
tance in ﬁghting the corn borer. The
secret of maturing creps Quickly is forcing
the; early growth of the plant. "Little or
nothing can be done to shorten the time
between the ﬂower and the ripe fruit, or
between silking and mature corn. Much

/ can be, done to shorten the time betWeen

uality crops. . . And HOW7

seeding and blooming Or silking. The
nitrogen , in manure and other organic
material in the soil must ﬁrst be converted
by soil bacteria into ammonia and then
into nitrates, before it can be utilized by
plants. The soil in these northern climates
is cold and wet in the spring, and these
bacterial processes are slow. This delays
the formation of ammonia and nitrates
from manure and Soil organic matter, and
suﬂicient nitrate is generally not available
from soil sources soon enough to force as
early, quick and heavy a root, stalk and

» leaf growth as the plant should have.

This immediately available nitrogen
should be supplied, and with it an abun-
dance of soluble phosphorus to develop
rapid root growth and to force early, heavy
fruiting, together with potash to insure
good sap .cirCulation, cell development,
starch formation and plant health.

It is quite evident that a largely in-
creased use of manufactured fertilizer is
necessary to replace plant food lost or

_ shipped off the farm, so that good quality

crops can be grown quickly and matured
early.

Will Sweet Clo'ver Turn the Trick?
.“ AM writing to you for/a little
information, as I read your ar—
ticles in M. B. F. and enjoy
them. I have a. farm of 80 acres'
consisting of deep much, and run.-
ning to shallow
muck and sand
which r e a l l y
makes a. black
sand. Now the
front 40 has
been
. hay for ﬁve or
'- six years to eight
years, and it is
run into June
grass and timo—
thy and clover is
pretty I l g h t,
which heretofore
produced 3 to‘
3% tons to the acre. _‘

“Now I want to build it up, and
would sweet clover do the trick after
I put a cultivated crop in to. kill the
Junegrass? Could I. put. the sweet
clover in the last cultivation, or
would it winter kill? Would it. get.
enough start so I could plow it under
the following spring and seed to
timothy and clover? Land ‘is well
For a cultivated crop I
plan on putting in corn, early notar-
toes and stock beets, as I ﬁnd that
last year my mangel wurtzels were
pretty severe on the June grass.

"The land has been hayed to
death, all taken off and nothing put
back, and I want to build it up to
original production. -If I have not
stated this case just right give me
your ideas and I will certainly ap-
preciate same on how to best build
this ground up. Thanking you in
advance, R. A. K., Shelby, Mich."

Well, Mr. K., you are not alone
with a had that has been “hayed. to
death." There are thousands of
them. and thousand more that have
been pastured to death. It is no
small job to get these fields back to
“original production."

By your description I imagine you
have a very good soil to begin with.
It is more than likely these hay crops
have used up considerable of its lime
content, and before trying to build it
up I would test it for lime and if it
needs it, by all meansi'apply some
before you spend good money for
grass seed. It is a. certainty, the
way I see it now, that ground lime-
stone is far better than agricultural
lime. You would have to use three
fourths as much agricultural (hy-
drated) lime as you would ground
limestone. and the former would
cost about twice as much. You are
all right in growing cultivated crop
to kill the June grass.

We ﬁnd that sweet clover is very
certain to winter kill when sown in
corn the last cultivation. You would
not go wrong to wait until the next
spring and plow it early, or if the
June grass is all killed you could
disk it early and sow the sweet
clover then. By all means use in-
oculation on the seed. I would put

three pee-ks of barley per acre, which
may _be harvested. These grasses
should give good growth for plowing
under the following spring, or it can
be cut early for hay and the after
vgrowth left until the next spring
and then plowed ‘under for corn.
Following this corn with barley and
clover as before, should get the land
well started toward “original produc-
tion" again. You will proﬁt by
broadcasting a. good application of
complete fertilizer, say 300 or 400
lbs. per acre just before you plant

the com. If manure is available use ‘

it along with the fertilizer. If pas-

the foregoing has been successfully '

carried out in good ordinary seasons.
but if one has. a field very low in
humus his chance of getting the
clove started is much. more certain
when they are seeded alone.

Short of Pasture

I

“I would like to ask if yourﬂDe—

partment. knows anything about Su-
dan grass for cow feed, as I will be
short of hay this year and would
like to know if Sudan grass would
be good for cows—L. F., Hosting,
Michigan.”

We have never grown Sudan
grass only as a test in our garden to
see what. it really would do. It cer-
tainly made a wondeful growth and
was out at a height of six inches
when it was two feet high, came
right on and was four feet high
long before frost time. I can see no
reason why it would not be a good
cow feed to grow. But, L. F., re-
member this—it is of the sorghum
family of plants and contains an ole-O
ment that frost turns into a deadly
poison. If cut for boy when it
should be it will then give some pas-
ture, but do not pasture after frost.

Oatsandl’eas

I know of no better crop for an
emergency feed for any stock than
good old oats and peas. Out at the
proper stage ibis 'of the very highest
grade of hay. Many think it is equal
to alfalfa. The hay should be cut
when the oats are in the “milk
stage.” The quantity to sow per
acre will depend on the fertility o!
the soil. On rather poor soil two
bushels of cats and three peeks of
peas have been recommended. This
amount may be greatly increased on
better soils, and if some have had

The corn is drilled rather closely,

when well cured hauled and stored

Is It Any Improvement?

James and I have been drawing-

straw into the barn. He did not
know what Dad was thinking of
most of the time, as he was not old
enough to remember “them good old
days’ when no such thing as a wind
stacker was known. .In “them” days
a farmer had to have from two to
ﬁve men on the straw stack, accord-
ing to its size, and when the thresh-
ing rig pulled away it nearly always
left a real straw stack. Now with
wind stackers you really do not need
any man to help with the straw, and
whether a man does try to stay on
it or whether the blower just puffs it
out with no one on the pile to try
and cover up, it makes little differ-
ence—when the rig leaves the job it

very seldom leaves a straw stack— '

invariably it leaves a pile of straw

of interesting things to tell us which

which is more like a pile of chaff.
The barn roofs are half covered with
the chaff, too. But the worst is yet
to come. Along in the winter when
you want to use straw for bedding,
you ﬁnd you have only a pile of
broken stuff that can hardly be car-
ried with anything but a tub or can-
vas sling. As far as .trying to load
it on a wagon and haul it into the
barn, you have some job on your
program in more than one way. Boys
like ‘James seem to take this chaf-
fy stuff as a matter of course, not
knowing that any better way for
taking care of the straw was ever in
vogue. But with Dad it is different.
I always feel that the man who ﬁrst
originated the wind stacker must
have “had it in for the farmer” and
then to add to it, he went and incor-
porated .“The Farmer’s Friend” as
a part of his trade mark! In some
cases where straw is put into the
barn direct from the machine, the
blower is some use, but the s-traw'
from a modern self-feeded, wind

stacker thresher is almost a joke
when used for anything but feed.
For our henhouse we ﬁnd it is a very
poor substitute for ﬂoor litter. But,

 

at that, it is possible the wind
stacker has been a means of uplift
to the farmer. For, as one man was
heard to remark, after spending ﬁve
hours on a straw pile, “It’s the worst
place on earth for a human to work
and if the punishment which is said
to be in store for some of us is as
bad as stacking str'aw behind a wind
stacker, I, for one, will be a good
boy from now on.”

You might be surprised to know tint
the best thing you can use for a severe
cough, is a. remedy which is easily pre—
pared at home in just a few moments.
It’ 3 cheap, but for prompt results it beats
anything else you ever tried. Usually
stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in
24 hours. Tastes pleasant—~chi ldren like
it, and it is pure and good.

Pour 2% ounces of Pinex in a pint

bottle; then ﬁll it up with plain granu~

lated sugar syrup. Or use clariﬁed honey,
instead of sugar syrup. Thus you make a
full pint—a family supply—but costing
no more than a small bottle of ready-
made cough syrup.

And as a cough medicine, there is real-
ly nothing better to be had at any price.
It goes right to the spot and gives quick,
lasting relief. It promrptly heals the in-
flamed membranes that line the throat
and air passages, stops the annoying
throat tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
you cough stops entirely. Splendid, too
for bronchitis, hoarsness .and bronchi a
asthma

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

To avoid disappointment, ask your drug-
lyé ounces of Pinex" with di-

TAXATION SYSTEM
EAR EDITOR: I notice some
ﬁgures recently made public
which states $950, 467, 998' was
returned delinquent for taxes of
1926. 8, 275, 445 acres, which is
nearly one-fourth the entire acre-
age of our State.
Isn't it about time to revise our
system of taxation? There must be

‘ a. reason for'this. Where will this

condition lead to?

I am interested because a road
building proposition has just been
put over here which is very far be—
yond what our people can afford at
one time. , It is going to burden as

-with grinding taxation for‘ many

years to came. That is not all either.
Many good folks cannot pay these
taxes and the leaders in this com-
munity must know it.

Will it not be disastrous to our
State to be burdened with these
conﬁscated lands?

What will it proﬁt our common-
wealth to pau'perize its citizens?

Should there not be a limit to
which our officials can go in this
matter?

It is outrageous here, and there
are more propositions, that if‘car-
ried, would add much larger
amounts to the. taxes we already
have. Unless something is done
soon there will be a lot more of de-
linquent tax lands in this part of the

State. Many simply refuse to con-
sider the danger ahead. Argument
does not get anywhere. What we

need is to limit the power some of-
ﬁcials now have.

I notice too that in your February
4th issue you mention that four—cent
gas tax idea. is gaining. Fine. Push
that plan and push till it succeeds.
Those who pay gas bills can use less

gas and do less Joy riding if they

dislike the tax; just the same as the
man who dislikes dog tax, can keep
fewer dogs.

Newspapers say there is much ar-
gument going on in Lansing. What
we'ueed'is action, and we need it
quickly. Our best people are being
hit hard. Those who own little real
estate or none at all are voting for
unjust taxes.

There is need of prompt action in
this line. Delay means disaster.
Send speedy relief.——Mrs. Florence
Howard, Monroe County.

OBJEO'IB

EAR EDITOR: Your special cor—

respondent in his write-up on

the annual Farm Bureau meet.-
ing,”says that a resolutoin offered by
me at the banquet, endorsing Frank
O. Lowden for President, was
“snowed under.” As a matter of fact
the resolution was carried over—
whelmingly, only a few Hoover
democrats yelling “No.” Let us have
the truth. There are enough news-
papers in the country ﬂooding the
nation with propaganda intended to
stiﬂe any legislation that will give
the farmers a. square deal without
the farm papers joining in the
chorus. With taxes on farm land in
Michigan already conﬁscatory and
farm lands practically without value
in the open market the newspaper
scribes and millionaires and the fel-
lows on the ever increasing public
pay roll are telling how prosperous
the farmer is. The present governor
is now telling again how he loves
the farmer and it he is electedagain
farm taxes will be lower.

could- not give this man credit for
doing that because he did not think
of his fellow farmers who have lost
lots of poultry. A large family
should not be an excuse for stealing.
Perhaps their families are learning

——No this man did not receive one of

rules is that the guilty person or

ily before he commits the crime, and ‘

should be made to suitor for it.

 

SECURITIES COMMISSION
EAR EDITOR: Under the head
of “Purpose of Securities Com«

say, ,“some people feel that if you

security they are recommending said 1

security to the public.”

Why shouldn’t people feel that,

way? Of what earthly use. is the:
commission? Why shouldn’t the
approval of a state commission

stamp a security as a safe invest-
ment? Do you mean to say that the
commission would pass favorably,
upon a Security that was not safe?

TEXT: f‘There is one body and one

spirit." Ephesians 4:4.

“ O.y0u believe that .the Churclf
, of Christ

' , visible, * * * or is it a spiritual
union working in each individual?"
This mall-bag query involves ele-
ments; of such general importance.
that the writer would make open
reply.

First of all, the question implies
choice; 'that is, that‘ we may either
look upon the church as an organ-
ization, a piece of human machinery;
or as a spiritual order without a cor—
porate body. But this conception is
faulty. Our text makes the Spirit
and the body as one; as comple-
ments. Repeated references in Ephe-
sians show the church to be a body
of belieVers in whom is the fullness
of Christ. Sea 1:23. And 3:11 is
an orderly picture of the church or-
ganization and its purpose. Only
the other day an intelligent grand-
mother said to the writer, “I believe
that religion is the neighborly spirit,
and in this sense I am religious.
But I don’t believe in the church as
a necessity." There are multitudes
like her. And among these skeptics
are many educated and cultured.
Doubtless, some of these are down
on the church because of clashing
denominational machinery and the
deifying of creeds and sacraments.
We empathize with these folks in
part, but. cannot join them.
' Jesus says nothing about the
church in name until he ﬁnds a.
Peter, 3. "living stone" with which he
begins to build it. And then he picks
up another and another until he has
a few rock men masoned up into a.
visible, brotherly structure. This he
calls the church; and declares that
it will be built up into such strength
and proportions as to overcome the
gates of hell. When we follow this
simple story .in the Gospels, we are
driven to the conclusion that wher-
ever and whenever men confess faith
in Christ and allow His spirit to con-
trol, they irresistibly are drawn into
a concrete and organized fellowship.
This is the end of Christ work on
earth. But this institutional work is
to go‘on through His disciples. Be-
fore he departed, he charged the
twelve with responsibility of disci-
plining the nations in his name, and
baptizing them. Baptism, in itself,
implies at organizational home for
the Spirit, of which it is the struc-
tural door. It is the visible rite of
induction into the new Christian or-
der, the church. The genius of this
plan has since been proved again
and again. The Master’s words,
“For where two or three are gath-
ered together in My name, there am
I in the midst of them,” have in
numberless communities, taken on
actual form in the corporate body
knoWn as the church. In this way,
the work of Christ has moved along
through the centuries in organized
and therefore orderly fashion. Jesus

 

is an organization ‘

Christ is no ghost. He is embodied
in “His church. . And this church is

the social institution that has been »

called out from the world for. the
very necessary purpdse of proving to

the world that a. social order can be, i

built upon the basis of loving co-
operation. But more than this; that
in such society only is there freedom
and permanence of life.

But in the matter of cooperation.
many of us are mlaw unto ourselves.
We readily admit that the idea is al-
right, but we refuse to clothe it with

a body: an organization in and.
through which it can work. In the .
writer’s community, the business

men and a. few farmers have been
trying to organize a milk coopera-
tive for some weeks, but it is not yet
accomplished. “Why? Much selﬁsh
indifference. Lack of fellow-feeling.
No social conversion. Fundamental-

' ly, cooperation is the ﬁne art of‘

neighboring. It is the result of the
higher urge to friendliness and social
unity. The proﬁt motive alone is in-
adequate even to a. satisfying busi-
ness fellowship. An agent of a
Southern railway, which was having
labor trouble,'declared to the writer
that he believed that only the spirit
of Christ would enable men to get
along together. Verily. ' And so
Eddie Guest sings, “He is the riches
who “ can say,~ I have neighbored
down the'way.”

This is illustrative of our need of
that highest of social orders, the
church. One cannot ﬁnd his earth-
way alone. Surely, one must see
that the law of the complete life is'
social. It is conditioned on a fellow-
feeling and brotherly love. The so-
cially austere soul is a terriblylop—
sided creature. He had just re-
turned from his homestead cabin in
the far Canadian North.
seen another human being for nine
months. His looks were proof. What
a ragged, stunted, and incomplete
man! “W'ell,” said he, “I didn’t
want to die up there all alone.” Of
course not. But neither did he want ‘
to live any longer alone. None of us
does, and none can. Our physical,
mental and social well—being is
brought about through merging our
lives with others.

This calls for th
organization of society. God made .
us, not for self and solitude, but to

live together in a social covenant.
God is no anarchist. Malachi 2:10.
,Now, it will be admitted that the
highest order is Christian. The
Christian has the spirit of Christ.
And no one need be in the fog as to
What the Spirit is and what it will
do. His acts have been long written.
The Spirit of Christ is the spirit of
loving helpfulness on behalf of men;
all men. It materializes in fellow-
ship and cooperation. It brings men
together into a common family; into
the “one body.” This one body or
church provides the necessary work-
ing nucleus to the attainment of uni-
versal brocherhood. The purpose of
the church is vitally put in the Mas-

XWe are many in‘one for the purpose
of giving the World an example of a

Christ’s spirit is, there is his church.
His spirit is related to the church
as the blood is related to the physi-
cal body. Without either there
would be no body; but with either

‘ is to be understood, through the
l Spirit, and the Spirit gets substance
in the church.

‘ is Christ’s organized instrument for

society cannot be saved without it.

AVAILABLE NITROGEN LEADS
TO APPLE CROPS

HE business of growing fruit is
being, placed on an efficiency
basis in such rapid fashion as

to be almost bewildering. Take the
revolutionary discoveries in the how
and wherefore of
feeding trees to
make them bear.
Kraus and Kray-
bill at the Ore-
gonyStation
showed us the
relationship be-
tWeen available
nitrates in the
soil, accumula-
tion of carbohy-
drates i n t h e
buds, and blos-
som formation.
" This started the
ball rolling and
threw the white
light of knowledge on that mysteri—
ous habit of biennial and irregular
bearing in‘apples. It also led to an
enormous increase in the use of fer-
tilizers. Patient experiments in many‘
states then proved that quickly avail-
able nitrogen applied early in the
spring is the most important fertiliz-

ing element.

Why must it be quickly available,
and why is it best applied early in
the spring? Here observations on
the importance of spur and terminal
growth dove-tailed into the picture.
The fruitfulness of an apple tree in
general and of its fruit spurs in par-
ticular was found to depend largely
on. the amount of annual growth
made by the tree. This growth is
most eﬁective when it takes place
early in the season. But early in
the spring the ground is cold and
the supply of natural nitrates in the
soil is low. That is why the nitrate
fertilizer should be applied early
(about a month before blossoming)
and explains why the fertilizer
should be in quickly available form.

Another advantage in having the
fertilizer quickly available is the
fact. that its effect should be over by
midsummer. At that time tree
growth should slow up and come to
a stop, to allow proper ripening of
the Wood for the winter’s siege, and
give the well grown spurs and shoots
a chance to form their blossom‘buds
for another year.

Incidentally the use of fertilizer
was found to be of great beneﬁt in
increasing the set of fruit. It instills
strength and vigor into the leaves
which surround each blossom clus—
ter, and these leaves in turn feed the
blossoms and enable them to set
fruit, even though some of the seeds
fail to develop because of faulty pol—
lination. ' , 4

Still another benefit came from'
the use of nitrogenous fertilizer,
and that was an increase in the size
of the fruit. A recent study at the
Michigan station showed that 34.2
per cent of the culls produced by
Michigan apple trees are culls be-
cause they lack, size. This certainly
demonstrates the importance of size.

The increased use‘ of fertilizers
also brought its problems. The trees
became thick, foliage was heavy, and
the apples showed 'a tendency to

telligent pruning program came into
practice, and the old fashioned tree
butchery went into the discard. ' The
old way was to "open up” the trees.
Great gaping holes were cut into
the bearing surface which not only
reduced the yield, but also caused a
jungle of - suckers to spring forth
to defeat the purpose of‘ the pruner.
Another effect of the removal of
large branches was the failure of the
large pruning wounds to heal. Decay

set in, heart-rot resulted, and the‘

life of the tree was cut short. The
modern method of thinning out
small branches, especially in the
tops, to allow sunlight to ﬁlter
through the trees is a better way.
This way of pruning has led to a.
much greater appreciation of the im-
portance of sunlight and its effect on
the fruit spurs in the lower parts
of the tree. Studies in Wisconsin
were especially helpful here. ‘ These
studies not only showed that spurs
cannot produce in the dark, but also
showed that the stimulating effect
which the cutting itself had upon the
remaining spurs was of great assis-
tance in causing annual bearing.
Thus one discovery leads to an-
other. Observant growers, are re-
sponsible for some. Experiment sta-
tion men are responsible for many
more. These patient eager search-
ers, many of them working in un:
deserved obscurity, are ever studying
Nature’s ways to ﬁnd the truth.
Some will say, what good comes
of it? All of these discoveries only
lead to increased productiOn and
lower price. The fact of the matter
is that the discoveries lead to in-
creased efficiency. They place a
greater value on intelligence, energy,
and up-to—dateness. The man who

puts the discoveries of scientists into _

practice- increases the quality and

TRANSPLANT IN SPRING

I wish you would please tell me
whether grapes can be transplanted
after vines are four years old, and
when would be the best time to do
it.—A. H., Berrien Springs, Mich.

F you have a. large number of
I vines to transplant we would say

that you could expect better re-
sults by planting afresh with good
strong one year old plants. One
would expect however that a plant
only four years‘old would standa
better chance than one more aged,
especially if the four year old vine
is not large for its age. You may
possibly expect the best result by

,,doing the transplanting very early in

the spring. Trim the vine back
very severely at the time it is trans-
planted and keep the ground around
it worked up to prevent drying out.

~ G TILE »

I would lthe to know how to tile-
with three er four inch clay tile as
I never laid any..——O F. G., Big
Rapids, Michigan.

WOULD SAY at the outset that

for ordinary drainage I would

not use less than 4 inch tile.
Three inch tile have not proven very
satisfactory for farm drainage as
they very quickly ﬁll up. Of course,
the ﬁrst thing to do is to determine
whether there' is satisfactory fall.
This can be done either by a eur-
veyor or if it is only a small job, a.
carpenter‘s level can be used. Set
the carpenter’s level on a box orbar—
rel about in the 'middle of the line
and sight on a stick at either end.
In this way the amount of fall can
easily be determined. The tile should
be laid about 21,5 feet deep on an
average. Of course, where it has .to
pass through hills or where there is
not sufficient outlet, this may have
to be varied somewhat.

In laying the tile in order to keep
them true to grade, the best method

line method. ith this scheme
sticks about 4 feet are set on the
proposed ditch about 50 feet apart
and a cross bar is put on each pair

bottom of the proposed ditch, and a
chalk line is stretched upon these
grade bars by using a 7 .or 8 foot
pole depending on the height to
which the grade bars are set. The
proper depth of the ditch can be
measured at any point by simply
measuring between the chalk line
and bottom of the ditch.‘

In laying tile care should be taken
that joints be fairly water tight, al-
though in heavy clay ground this
isn’t so important. Tile lines may be
used to drain out depressions or
holes in the ﬁeld or put in parallel
lines to uniformly drain a level area.
It should be remembered~ on lekl
ground that tile will not drain to
any distance on either side of the
line. When tile are laid 2% feet
deep on comparatively heavy clay,

side. In order to have satisfactory
drainage, tile lines on this type of
soil should be spaced about four rods

I would suggest that you get a

Department, International Harvester
Company, Chicago, Illinois, which

"The Farm Paper of Service"

 

WE INCREASE OUR REWARDS

EARLY eighteen months have passed since

we made our announcement that we were

declaring war on the rural thieves in Mich-
igan, that we were posting a thousand dollars
to pay out in rewards of ﬁfty dollars to put these
thieves where they belonged—behind prison
bars. Looking back over this period we are
pleased with what has been done. While we have
not paid out the entire thousand dollars in re-
wards we have spent three times that much in
our ﬁght against these sneak thieves. Many of
them are now serving time in State prisons be-
cause of our work while others have been forced
to leave Michigan. Besides these there are many
who stopped stealing and found an honest way
of earning a living rather than take any chances
when there was a price on their head.

Last July we added ﬁve hundred dollars to our
fund to be paid out in rewards of $25 where other
farm livestock and property Was stolen, exempting
automobiles and trucks. In 'his issue we are
pleased to announce that we are now posting an
additional $2,000 and all rewards in the future
will be $50.

As we stated when we entered this ﬁght, nearly
a year and a half ago,” we are in it to stay until
thieves working in the rural communities are
looked up or they get out of the State and we ap-
preciate the ﬁne support and cooperation we have
had from variOus sources.

CIRCU LATE A PETITION

N this page in the last issue we had something
to say about raising the gas tax to four cents,
' issuing permanent license plates good for the
life of the car and eliminating the weight tax on
pleasure cars and small trucks. Further, we said
you would hear more from us in this issue. On
page four we are publishing a short article along
with a heading for a petition which we wish you
would cut out, attach to a sheet of paper and cir-
culate among your neighbors to get. their sig-
natures. Can we depend on you? _Thanks, we
knew we could.

KEEP FARM RECORDS

RMER BRISBANE couldn’t get ahead even

though he did work hard and try to save.

He was anxious to pay off the mortgage on
the faann and he wanted to send his children
through college, but it seemed as though it took
about all he could make each year to keep up the
interest on the mortgage and pay his taxes.
Rather discouraging, and you cOuld not blame

THE COLLEGE RUMI‘UE -

AST fall there appeared on this page an edi-
torial suggesting that posSib‘ly .the purpose
for which the Michigan State College was

founded was being forgotten. It was originally
an agricultural college to train future! fanners
but it looked. very much to us as thought it was
rapidly becoming a. university with. agriculture
only one of the many subjects. No longer was it
a farmers’ college. '

Since then, considerable water has ﬂowed under
the bridge, so to speak. There has been consider-
able dissension, both within the College and with-
out. Some of it has been politics, some has not.
Some got into the hands of the‘daily press, some
did not. Among the facts brought out is the one
that the College is about $250,000 in the hole
and there has been a reorganization of the power
to handle the funds. Further, President Butter-
ﬁeld has gone to Europe on a leave of absence
for six months and Dean R. S. Shaw has been,
appointed acting president by the State Board of
Agriculture. Rumors are that President Butter-
ﬁeld intends to resign before the six months are
up and _.M S. C. will be looking for a new head.
He denies it.

It is too bad that this trouble could not have
been ironed out privately because it will not help
the reputation of the College, but now that it has
become public property let us hope that it goes
through to a ﬁnish and when it does clear up
agriculture at M. S. C. will regain the position'
it once held.

 

HAVE YOU A SIGN?

AVE you one of ouf‘ Protective Service Bureau
‘ signs posted up in front of.your' place? If
you haven’t you ought to get one. Many of
our subscribers have had them up for years and
they report that most of the agents traveling
through the country do not stop at their house
like they used to before the sign was put up.
THE BUSINESS FARMER and its work are known to
most agents, especially those defrauding the farm-
ers and they have no love for it. Thesign 1114
dicates that a friend of M. B. F. lives there so
they pass on to the next place.

APPRECIATION

OMEONE said, "Absence makes the heart
grow fender," and there is a lot .of good
old-fashioned truth in it. Take the man

from Holland, Ottawa county, who recently re-
turned from a visit to the Netherlands, the land
of his birth. “I’m sure glad to get back to this
country, the best on earth," was his comment
when he again set foot on American soil. He
found many people idle in his native land, get-
ting only 25 cents an hour, equivalent to 10 cents
in our money, when they did work, and at the
same time paying 85 cents per pound for the
cheapest cuts of meat and 35 cents per pound for
sugar. "We are in clover compar. with my
native land," was his verdict. V It would; do most
of us good to take a trip'to Europe or some other
foreign clime. we would appreciate more what
a. wonderful country we have in our_America.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF US?

HAT do, you think of M. B. F. and its various
features? Is it meeting yourneeds or is
there something lacking? We want to

know. If there is any way that,it can be im-
proved in your estimation we will greatly appre-
ciate having you tell us. Our rapid growth in cir-
culation indicates that We are satisfying a large
per cent of the farm folks in Michigan, and many
of them write and tell us so, but if we heard from
all of our readers perhaps we could do a better
job than we are doing at present. Nothing is
perfect but we want THE BUSINESS Fumes to be
as near perfect, in your judgment, as it is possi-
ble to make it. Lists hear from you before you
get into the midst~of spring work. .

There is a sayin’ the worm will turn, but I
guess that don’t refer to this corn borer, ’cause
he keeps travelin’ straight ahead.

 

Either I read it some place or somebody was
tellin’ me, that they have about wiped out the
crime wave in Scotland by chargin’ for board

he is thinkin’ ’bout buyin’ a car. All the politi-1
clans are after him one time and the auto sales-
men the other.

I heard of lots of lazy men but never did I hear
of one quite so lazy as a fellow what just moved
into our community. He’ s so lazy he rides in an
old ﬂivver so he won’t have to knock the ashes
off his cigar.

_ ~\

The other day a car went 225‘ miles an hour
down‘ in Florida some place. I wonder what's
become of the fellers that used to say ﬁfteen miles
was travelin’ too fast and the auto never would.
become popular with folks because it was so dan-
gerous tiavelin’ at such a. high rate of speed.
Guess they got smothered in the dust long time
ago.

Ever hear this one? The boss on a buildin'
job had just hired a darky who appealed to be
the lazy kind He watched the cblored boy slowly
walk up to a ladder and begin to climb it. “Here,

Not seein' any brick the boss says, “Brick? What

“Well, to de Lawd’ s Sake, ” exclaimed t/he darky,

STOP THIEF!

The Business Farmer Shows Way
To Stop Chicken Stealing

HICKEN THIEVES are taking ’a million dollars a year out of the
C 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. rhutm good looks on the doors of all buildings and either bar windows or fasten
e sh
2. Install bui-glar alarms.
8. Mark poultry with an identifying mark which is registered with poultry dealers,
sheriffs, and The Business Farmer Protective Service Bureau.

4. Organize county-wide anrn- thief associations.
6. Learn to , a so When necessary.
6. Enforce poultry dealers’ reglstratlon I’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-
t1ons 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 is 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 coop the thief can not disconnect it
so that it will continue to ring until turned off by the owner. If you do not care
to make one we will sell you a complete outﬁt, ready to instzatll,y 'for $6. 50—me
bare cost of manufacturing and shipping.

OUR POULTRY MARKER

There are many poultry markers being sold to the public but none of them
seem to be entirely satisfactory. Also we found most of them tdo 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 pay mailing charges
to the door of the purchaser for $1.50 each.
sellmg these at just what they cost us, because we want to serve our readers in
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 urchase 9. BUSINESS FARMER Poultry Marker you get a mark—the
initials “M F" combined with a number—which is sold excluswely 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.

 

 

BUSINESS FARMER’S POULTRY MARKER
AND GONG ALARM

help the farmers of Michigan protect their property from thieves we have
arranged to furnish them with BUSINESS FABXER Poultry Markers (these
can be used for other livestock) and burglar alarms of the gong— type at
cost. The marker costs $1. 50, incwluding enough special indelible ink for 100
birds, and full instructions on 110 to use. Extra ink is sold at 35c for 100
gang‘s), 65c for 250 birds, and $1 00 for 500 birds.

Remember, your name and the number of your marker will be registered with
poultry dealers and sheriﬂs in Michigan.

was the collision that he was buried
against the boiler head. but recovered in
time to see the car hurtled straight for
the hundred-foot drop into the river.

CLEAR up there on the engine, Doug

. The lights went out with the shock, and

the roar of the motor was stiﬂed. A wo-
man's wild scream rent the still air of
the night. ,

When the ear lights went out, leaving
everything in darkness. Doug wrenc‘hed
open the fire-box door. and the reﬂection

from the white-hot ﬁre inside illuminated *

the scene.

He saw the car, hanging perilously on
the brink of the drop, miraculously bai-
anced. And as he leaped down from the
engine toward it, Terry bounded into the
path of light.

“Quick, Doug!" he panted.
of wind will send it over."

From within a blurred voice sounded.

“Is it safe to get out?”

“Be still 1” hissed Doug. “Don't move
till we tell you to. Silence in the car!"

“What are we to do?” asked Terry thru
set teeth. "Hold on her till we petrify?’

“13m going to let loose," replied Doug.
"Can you hold it alone?"

“Try it !” gritted Terry.
ever.”

Doug rushed to the engine, backed the
plow around the bend, uncoupled and
hacked to within a few feet of the car.

“Stay with her," he said, “till I get this
chain on the axle, then let's see her get
away."

Inside the car.

"A breath

"But not for-

a woman’s quavering

’ voice emitted a lament—confused, inoc-

herent, shrill.

“Be still in there i” ordered Doug rough-
ly. “We’ll have you off in a. second."

“Aye, aye, sir i" said a second voice, a
girl’s, it sounded like.

As Doug swept the chain around the
axle, he decided that whoever it was, she
a plucky miss to speak in that tone at
such a time, or else didn’t realize the
peril of their position. However, he wast-
ed no time in voicing such sentiments,
but fastened the chain securely and tied it
to the coupling pin of the engine. He
opened the throttle and yanked the big
car back into the middle of the roadway
as tho it were a. tin toy.

“Anybody hurt in there?" asked Terry,
making out, now that he had time to look
the car over, four or ﬁve persons.

“Nothing serious, I believe,” said the
voice that had spoken ﬁrst. “Shook up
and bruised a little and scared.” The
speaker stepped out, a bit unsteadily, and
Doug realized Sid Stutgart. As Terry
stepped up to him to steady him, he smell-
ed liquor strongly.

"That was a fool way to round a curve
on these roads,” he said bluntly. “And
it's a bgiger fool thing to drink anything
stronger than water when driving on
them."

"Don’t rub it in so hard, old chap,”
said young Stutgart, ruefully. “I know it
now. What are we to do?" He looked
at a smashed front wheel and crumpled
fender, bent axle and demolished head-
light and windshield.

“You’d better come up to our place for
the night,” said Terry in a softer tone.
He leaned over the back seat and address-
ed the occupants, two of them: “If you
folks are able to get out, we can take you
to our place on the engine. It’s only a
little ways.”

“Oh, I’m a1r1ght " said a sprightly
young voice. “Feelings hurt worse than

the answer. “When I saw that engine be-

Stutgart introduced the women as his
sister and mother,
were on their way to the camp to get
ready for the general inﬂux that would
come later. Terry decided Stutgart must

:have been more than ordinarily drunk to
'start over such a road at such an hour,

but didn' t say so.

Doug, and Terry saw the rest of them
.-aboard. Mrs. 811th suppressed a little
scream at the clamor of the engine when
Doug opened the throttle, but they made
the trip over to the house mfely. and
Terry hurried in to arouse the folks.

It was a pretty scared looking trio
when they were inside the lighted living-
room. ,.

“Bad out you've got there," said Doug.
indicating an ugly gash on young Stut-
gart’s forehead.

Stutgart wiped at it with a blood—stain-
ed handkerchiet. “Windshield got ‘me
there," he said cheerfully. “Fay, you’ll
have a peach of a black eye by morning.
How are you, mother? All together?”

"I believe so," she said, laughing nerv-
ously and sinking into a proferred seat.

‘fThat was a. lucky spill,” said Doug. “I
mean," be corrected hastily, “It turned
out luckily."

There was a general laugh at that sally ,
then they all got acquainted.

It was late before they retired that
night; mightly late for farming folks, and
June nights are short. Whén Doug did
ﬁnally roll in beside Terry, he groaned
thankfully.

"Mister Man i” he ejaculated, "but won’t
it be tough rolling out in the morning !“

Terry snored by way of reply.

They were up, however, breakfasted and
out in the field before their company arose,
wrestling with the four-foot sage brush.

After two trips across the ﬁeld, Doug
gave it up and admitted that the brush
Wouldhave to be got rid of before they
could plow it.

“But it’s not the engine’s fault,” be de-
fended. The plow is too light. It jumps '
out of the ground and drags along and
gathers brush like it's hungry."

“What else could it do?” demanded
Terry. “That stuff keeps piling up under
it. It would raise Pyramid peak itself,“
you'could drag it across this ﬁeld.”

Doug was star“ g at the plow with corb
rugated brows. "‘ at we need,” he said,
is something to drag over that brush
heavy enough to break it off that won’t
1111 up. Something that will just naturally
wear it out."

“When you git all this brush wore out, ”
vouchsafed Mort, Who had come out.
there’ ll be a whole lot more were out too.
including a steam engine and a. boy or
two.’

“Dry up i” said Doug. "If you can 't use
your head to help us out here, keep it
shut!"

He studied some more.

“Tell you, Terry,” he said, "let’s take
them plows and beams off and use the
frame. It’s heavy enough to'vsfear this
stuff out. And after we get it broke off
and uprooted we can take-the hay rake
and kind of bunch it and then burn it.”

"we can try it," said Terry. "We’ll
never gel: a crop out it we have to clear
this brush by hand ”

Doug’s idea worked. That great frame
slid over the brush without gathering
enough to dampen its weight. and crushed

»a11d broke the brittle stems to powder.
Once across and back and a. ﬁfteen—foot
swath ‘was ready for the. rake.

When they came to the house for din-
ner they found that their company had
called a car from town and gone on up
to their camp. They were not regrettul
of this; they were busy. .

'They broke the brush on the entire
ﬁeld, almost two hundred acres, in a little
(Net a day. Mort followed with the hay
rake, bunching it, and Mr. Muir followed
him with a torch. Dust, ﬂames and
smoke darkened the sun.

The boys came out coated so deeply
with dust. that they were hardly recog-
nizable. Mort swore many a. lurid oath
before he had ﬁnished his job, and came
thru with his clothing torn to tatters. ,

“I lost two teeth in that job," he .vowed,
“one eye, nearly, all my clothes, and the
rake has got just two whole teeth in it.
If there’s any more of this kind of work,
Terry you can tell your paw to hunt a '
new hand. I’ll be quittin‘.”

“One good thing about you, Mort," said
Doug, grinning widely, “is you always
wait to holler until a job is done. Now,
most people .start in before they begin
the job. It’s all over now; we can put '-
them plows back on the frame and turn
this upside down in a. week.“

“I don‘t aim for that time to cmne."
said Doug, “not as long as the cinch

Mort turned to Terry. "Listen at him,"
he jibed. "Thinks that there’s nothing
but a broken cinch that can pile him.

“We’ll ride up and look them over some

The ﬁrst thing they saw after they
entered the range was, a dead steer.

Mort dbmounted and pulled out the en-
imals tongue. Drew his knife and made
an incision in the neck. - ~~
, “Poison,” he said brieﬂy. “The blood
is dark as Imp-black."

‘That looks like one our our steers“
said Terry. “Let’s turn him over so we
can see the brand."

They tied their lariats onto the dead
animal's legs and turned him over. Brand,
Bar Z Ban—their brand.

Mort coiled up his larlat thoughtfully.
“Poison’s bad this year.” he said admon-
ishmgly. “Don't be surprised if we ﬁnd

_ more of them."

“Suppose we separate,” suggested Doug.
“and in that way We can cover more
ground.”

"Meet up at the old salt ground under
the peak," suggested Mort. “Then we
can tally up."

Doug swung to the left and rode on.
He saw few white faces bearing their
brand, but great numbers of the Bar
Slash Bar, also a few bearing a brand

too, with appalling regularity, most of
them bearing the Bar Z Bar. Evidently
the southern stuff was not as susceptible
as were the Herefords.

He found Terry and Mort waiting for
him at the salt ground when he came
out into the little park then an hour
later. Terry’s face was “very grave, and
Mort was tailing.

“Never heard of anything like it." he
was saying. “Doug, we found sixty—nine
head, all told. wearing the Bar Z Bar.
How many did you ﬁnd?"

“Thirty," said Doug. “They’re every-

them out," explained Mort; "ready to eat
anything. The spring is late and the
larkspur is the ﬁrst thing that comes 011,,
“and it always seems worse at a late
spring. Besides, them dogies have cleaned

“But they’ll all be dead in another

GET THE GREATEST POSSIBLE PRODUCTION OUT'
OF EVERY ACRE THEY CULTIVATE. It costs just as 9
much’ in'time, labor, and seed to get poor crops as it -
does to get good ones. It’s entirely a matter of proper ‘
cultivation.

STUDY KOVAR CONSTRUCTION

Look at the high arched tooth which the center hitch
buries into the ground at exactly the right draft. , Com-
plete ﬂexibility of frame causes 'a hinging action of the
teeth protecting them against breakage and preventing

AERIAL AND OTHER QUESTIONS

Please tell me how to make a
ground or sub-antenna. Can com-
mon aerial wire be used ’and how
should it be insulated? Should I dis-
connect 'my ground from set when
using sub-antenna? Would audio
transformers having a ratio of 3%
to 1 make any particular difference
in a. set using a ratio of 3 to 1?
Please give trade name of good
transformers. Will any ﬁve-tube set
bring in clearly a 250—watt station in
Kansas City with a Chicago and a
Nashville station broadcasting on
nearly the same wave length? Is
the-three dial set of today more ‘sat-
isfactory than the'one dial aside
from the tuning convenience? Will
be very pleased to hear from you.#
C. S., Isabella County.

HERE is no substitute for a good
overhead aerial, and the strength
depends upon the height and

length. Loops, sub—antennas, anten-
na plugs, etc., undoubtedly pick up
some energy, but the signals will al-
ways be weaker than with a regular
aerial.

Part of the radio wave travels in
the ground and for this reason it is
possible to receive radio signals in
mines, in submarines, etc., but the
reception is always poorer than
above the ground.

We recently had some correspond-
ence with the manufacturers of the
so-called Sub-antenna and they
promised to send us one for experi—
mental purposes as soon as the
ground is thawed. The usual ground
should be used With the ground an-
tenna. .

there were no interference.

The average radio user, especially
the women, will not take the; trouble
to tune carefully and for this reas n
the single control set is genera 1y
more satisfactory than .a three dial
set. Just as good results are possi-
ble with the three dial set and per—
haps better since it often happens in
the cheaper grade of single control
sets that the three ‘tuned circuits tire

not exactly matched and so the sin-

gle control cannot get the most out
of each stage. 0 controls are; a
good compromise. since we are slip-
plied by Nature with two hands. 3

SET S'QUEAIVIS

I have a home radio and when
many stations are broadcasting and
my set is at the highest amplify" g
point it will shut off and when t e
electricity is turned off and back fen
it is alright again for a while. Pledse
tell me the cause and how it can
be ﬁxed—A. H., Merrill, Michigan.

F your radio set squeals whenl‘it
I “shuts off” by itself, the trouble
is probably due to too much re-
generation so that any slight dis-
turbance starts oscillations. If it is
a regenerative set all you need to do
is reduce the tickler a bit, or if‘it

 

is a set with radio—frequency ampli— ‘

ﬁcation adjusting the neutralizing
condensers should ﬁx it.- .9.

On the other hand, if the set
sounds‘entirely dead when this hhp-
pens, the trouble is almost sure toibe
in some of the battery connections.
Look for a loose wire or dirty clip
on the storage battery.

It some times, happens that the
grid leak will jar out of place."W_‘hen
this happens, the detector tube will
“block” on very strong signals-and
the set will seem to, shut off for a
second and then come back on again,

SEED FOR NORTHERN MICHIGAN

‘I would like to know where to get
the best garden seed for planting in
northern Michigan._' Also I would
like to know how to grow house
plants, if the soil should be rich. I
planted some ﬂower seeds I 'pur-
chased in a package in Ohio and

when the plants came up they were

slim and seen died. I planted them
in regular soil and sand mixed.—
—W. L., Hermansville, Mich.

OST any of the seedsmen adver-
tised in THE Busmnss FARMEE
should be able to provide you

with seeds adapted to Michigan. It
is more advisable however to pur-
chase seeds separately‘rather than in '
collections as you . did with your
house plant seed. . . .
These. collections often , contain
seeds which are not adapted to the
use of the amateur plant-growing.

' This will often have a serious effect

’4 ,_ 12'. Treaunen'ts for Smuts
A farmer writes ~<i11 tor the various
treatments for smuts of grains. Corn
smut and oats
s mu t are the
' ones'yve'have ‘to
consider at this
time o; the year.
_- Gerri smut is a
"hfun'gus disease
' f, related to, but
distinct from the
' "smut diseases of
-‘other"plants. It
is so "familiar to
.. most of us farm—
, er's that I will
not describe it
' here No seed
treatment is effective in its control
because the corn-smut fungus lives
over winter in the old stalks of the
ﬁeld. The logical control measure
then, is rotation of crops so that corn
‘ is not planted mere than one or two
seasons in the same ﬁeld.

The smut of oats is a fungus dis-

- ease that attacks the grain at the
time the kernel is forming, and
what should have become the ker—
nel became a dark mass of spores.
These Spores collect on the other
grains later and live over winter.‘
Apparently the smut does not live
otter in the soil. The following for-
maldehyde treatment as worked out
by Dr. G. H. Coons, Michigan Ex-
périment Station, is used quite large-
1y to control not only the smut of
oats, but also the stinking smut of
Wheat, and the covered smut and
stripe of barley as well. ' Prepare a
solution containing one pint of for-
malin (40 per cent) to 40 gallons
of water. Clean the seed through
fanning mill to remove smut kernels.
Sprinkle seed, using one gallon of
solution -to one bushel of grain.
Cover for four hours and spread out
to dry. Plant as soon as dry. Do
not let treated wheat stand longer
than four hours as the germination
isrmore easily damage'dthan in the
case of oats. In treating seed date
the concentrated formaldehyde meth-
od is most convenient. It is as fol-
lows: ' One pint of 40 per cent for-
malin is diluted with one pint of

 

_‘ v. ‘o. niaci-

water and sprayed on the grain as .

it is shoveled over, using one quart
for 50 bushels. The treated grain is '
cowered for four hours, opened, and
spread out for thorough airing and
should be planted immediately.
This treatment has been effective for,
the last several years at Spring
Water Farm, and the same result
seems ,to be true everywhere that it
'is consistently used.

Oil Station Gossip

Some very interesting discussions
on many different subjects occur at
the oil station at Perry, a nearby
town, so the agricultural instructor
of Perry High School reports. Just
recently a heated debate occurred as

. to what it cost to feed a hen for
a. year. As soon as the instructor en—
tered, the problem was put up to
him. but his memory failed him as
°his first estimate was $1. 50 per year,
which was undoubtedly far too low.
A poultryman who lived in Perry
had said that in the last two months
he had paid $3. 50 per hundred for
250 liens receiving $200. 00 from the
eggs during that period. It was this
statement that had started the dis-
cussion. It was found. however, that

he had paid $3. 50 per hundred for
a special poultry feed and had fed
just as much as possible to produce
eggs when prices were at the highest.

This seems to account for the high

Time; Her Most

    
  

 

Precious Asset

T never will be very hard for any woman living

on a farm to occupy her time. The duties of
home-making are enough to keep any farm mother
busy; and to—day, we realize that the back-breaking
labor that used to make farmers’ wives old before
their time, never was “woman’s work.”

No labor-saving device has proved its value on the
farm more thoroughly than the electric washing

machine.

-At the touch of a button, little G-E

motors on washers, pumps, and other devices will
do many tasks while mother does something else.
Hours of time—her most precious asset—are saved

at the cost of a few cents for electricity.

Ask Your Power Company

. If your farm is on or near an electric power line, ask the
power company for a copy of the new G- E Farm Book
which explains more than 100 uses for electricity on the 1

farm.

Not long ago you wrote in the M. B. F.

A Game to Play

 

 

 

 

,BKD LIGHT

HIS is a good game for younger child-
Tren, and can be used with any num-

ber. One player is chosen to be “it,"
and stands at the extreme end of the ﬁled
or gymnasi or large room. with his
back town the center. The other players
group at the opposite end. The one who
is “it” counts to ten as rapidly and clearly
as possible then shouts "Red Light,” and
turns around quickly. While he is count-
ing, the other players can run toward him.
but as soon as he says “Red Light,” they
must stop and must not move while he iss
looking at them. If he sees a player move.
be send: him back to the starting line to
begin again. Then he turns round. and
the game proceeds as before. The ﬁrst
player to reach the line on which “it" is
standing, wins the game, and may be "it"
next time.

Another Letter from Our New President

(In the last [issue there was a letter
from Eathel Fay Sharp, our new Presi-
dent, written betore she learned that she
had been elected Now that the news has
recahed her she has again taken her pen
in hand to thank every body for helping
elect her. Of course, as she is President
even Mr. Waste Basket must be careful
about gobbling up her letter, so here it
is in print.——Uncle Ned)

Dear Uncle Ned and joyous cousins:—
Do I write too often and too much? But
listen, just give me a few moments at-
tention for I want to kindly express in
mere words the' many, many thanks I tru-
ly owe to all you dear boys and girls for
helping to nominate and elect me as Pres-
ident of 0111' Club. It was a great pleas-
ure and surprise to see my. name on the
ballot as runing for President, but I was
greatly astonished when I ran to the mail

I was real cold but I took agpeek before
I left the box) for really and trully I did
not expect to win.

Just think of it, I am President, really
President, which I least ever expected to
be in my childhood days. ,

I have been a member for quite a few
years, if my memory serves me right, I
have been a mmnber for about eight
years. I have the ﬁrst letter Uncle, Ned
put in the paper with my name in it. Say,
wasn ’t I proud then, and- I never dreamed
Our Page would grow as it has and I
would become President. I trully pledge
I will ever do my best in everything I do.
especially for Our Page. "

I wonder if Helen B. Kinnison was as

  
  
 
  
  
  

 
  

  
   

I surelyhave takm much pleasure with
M. B. F. since we have taken it for I have
made so many friends through Our Page.
One girl in particular that I wrote to,
from near Lansing, came out to our place
to get married, which was a'great sur-
prise to me.

There are so many other departments
besides the Children’s Hour that I enjoy,
such as the woman’s page, “Our radio,"
Rev. D. F. \Varner’s department, and there
are some helpful hints in the advertise-
ments if you will read them. I think the
work done for the beneﬁt of the farmer
to stop chicken thieves is a wonderful
help. I am sure it is one of the best
things in M. B. F. but, of course, it is
not the very best because our Children’s
Page is the best, I positively know.

I still have a few suggestions left yet,

)Uncle Ned, and I am going to tell you
box and opened the ‘M. B. F. (yes for all “

what they are. ,

First, as there are not many boys lets
have a week some time just for them. 01'
course, there are lots of boys but I mean
not many that write to Our Page.

Second, I suggest if we ofﬁcers put our
pictures on Our Page Uncle Ned must
too. Don’t be bashful, Uncle Ned. I bet
you weren’t when you ‘pmposed” and I
bet you are just as good looking now; as
you were then—at least you are just as -
good anyway. I'm sure my lace 13 not

Complete Schedule

ITH the slogan “More tons per
vz acre—Greater Proﬁts” the Sug—

ar Beet train being operated
over the New York Central Lines in
cooperation with the Michigan State
College is scheduled to begin at
Mason on March 5.

From Mason it will go to Eaton
county, then through the Saginaw
Valley and Thumb district, winding
.up at Monroe on March 17.

The purpose of the train as out-
lined by the State College Special-
ists is to assist the farmer in produc-
ing more tons per acre, to assist the
sugar companies in full capacity op-
eration, and to bring about a better
spirit of all.

Sugar beet specialists and soil
specialists will make up the crew.
Soils will be tested and recommenda-
tions made on the use of lime and
fertilizers.

There will be charts and pictures
showing experimental data on fertil-
izers, time of planting, depths of
plowing, thinning, and spacing, and
cultivation, and crop rotations. Ev-
erything that is known about sugar
beets will be discussed on this train.

One of the feature exhibits of the
train will be a complete display show-
ing all operations from planting the
seed to manufactured sugar.

Michigan is one of the leading
sugar beet producing states of the
United States, ranking from second
to fifth according to the season. The
past two years have been poor, and
the state has dropped back consid-
erably. With proper methods of
production there is no reason why
the state average of 8.2 tons per
acre cannot be raised to at least
10.2 tons per acre, which is the av-
erage for the United States the last
three years. '

There is money in sugar beets
when 12 to 16 tons are being.produc-_
ed and it can be done. There is
little or no ,money in 8 tons per
acre. '

The three car train-will be full or
interesting exhibits and lectures and
motiOn pictures will be‘given at each

Large clumps of the intermediate

I dreamed I beheld a fair female

Her equal I ne’er saw before,

As she sighed for the wrongs of her

As she strayed along Erin's green shore.

I quickly addressed this fair female,

Saying, “My Jewel, come tell me your

And she sighed for the wrongs of her,

"I know you are a true son to Gramul,
And my secrets to you I’ll unfold,

For here in the midst of all dangers,

The power to digest liberal quan—
tities of heavy foods—the energy
2‘ to assimilate and turn into milk
1.; all the milk—values of the winter
3;. diet is all that is needed to pro-
32 duce heavy yields during the
"period of barn—feeding.
Kow-Kare makes heavy winter
feeding proﬁtable—and safe. It
is not a food—it simply regulates
and conditions the cow’s digest
tion and assimilation so that she
can eﬁciently handle her nat-
ural diet—at a proﬁt. Kow-Kare
is highly concentrated Only a
little is needed to keep average
cows above average yield. A
tablespoonful with the feed one
to two weeks a month does
worlds for the milk ﬂow—and
for the general health and power
to resist disease. The cost is only
, _ a fcw cents per month per cow.
When there is real trouble, when prof-
its are threatened by such disorders as
Barrenness, Retained Afterbirth, Abor-
tion, Scours, Bunches, Mill: Fever and
similar troubles Kow’Kare comes to
rescue quickly and surely. Thousands

of dairymen would not keep cows with-

Monroe—Thermometer around zero.
Little snow. Good winter weather. Can-

enough snow to protect them. Papers
say there is no food shortage, so many
feel there is no special need to raise more
crops at existing prices. High taxes do
not encourage farmers as many cannot
raise enough to pay expenses, at prices

given. Hired help too expensive; many
do not realize cost of raising crops.

the Profit. ‘7”

Why run the risk of havin your
proﬁts cut wn or wipe out by
disease, or y accidents to your cows?

invite hard luck by gorng without Star
Equipment? One udder ruined by trampling
’costs more than Stall Partitions for your herd.

Make Your Cows Safe and Profitable

The cow in a Star Stall is not rnerel safe; she
can lie down, get up, turn around to ck or look
behind as easily as in the pasture. The stro est
of stanchions hold her“ 1n line at the tter. he
lies down in comfort and not in 1th.-

With every comfort, with fresh air and light
reaching every spot around her, with 's drink
whenever she wants it, she never gets nervous
or tired. She just can’t help giving more milk.

EIGHT HERBS RETESTED

IGHT herds were retested during
January in Michigan dairy herd
imprdvement associations.

herd of 0 J. Becker, member of the
Ingham-Lansing Association, com-
posed of 7 grade Holsteins and
Guernsey’s is the highest butterfat
producing herd for Michigan for
this period.

This herd tested by Leslie Wilcox
averaged 1,348 pounds milk and
61.67 pounds butterfat and was re-
tested. A neighbor to Mr. Becker
Mr. O. J. Moore, a. member in the
same association owns nine pure-
bred and grade Holsteins which also
were retested and averaged ,53.47
pounds butterfat under four times a
day milking. Other herds which
were retested are as follows:

Doan Straub of Berrien county;
Barn No. 9 of the Detroit Creamery,
Macomb county; Henry‘Meyers of
OCeana county; Wm. Wright of A1—
legan county; 0. O. Dunham of'Ber-
rien county; and Oscar Wolf of Gra-
tiot county. .

The high cow for the State during
the month is owned by the Detroit
Creamery herd in Macomb county.
tested by R. N. Barney. This cow
under official test milked four times
daily and retested produced 3,512
pounds milk and 116.2 pounds fat.

Out of the 18,840 cows reported
for January, 119'? were found to pro-
duce over 50 pounds butterfat.
There were also 6 purebred sires
purchased by members and 165 cull

cows found to be unproﬁtable and

sold. Michigan dairymen are de-
pending largely on good legume
roughage, mainly alfalfa and corn

silage plus a balanced grain mixture
in their feeding program in order to
get greatest dairy proﬁts—A. C.
Baltzer.

FEED FOR CALVES

I have two Guernsey calves about
eight weeks old and am feeding them
skim milk and a little ground oats
and corn. They seem to like it real
well. What I really want to know,
is it all right to feed these calves
this ground oats and corn ,and if it
is, about how many pounds a day
should each calf get and is there
anything else I could add to this to
make it better?—T. L. B Bay City,
Mich.

HE feeding of a grain supple-
ment to calves that are getting
skim milk is recommended be-

cause the milk has had the butter-
fat which makes a large proportion
of the carbohydrates of milk re—

moved and the grain aids in replac-

ing this energy giving nutrient.
Calves of this age probably need
about a pound a day although'calves
vary markedly in the amount they
will eat. It is all right to give the
calves all the corn and oats they will
clean up each day. It is preferable
not to give them more grain than
they will eat in 24 hours as calves
seem to prefer fresh grain to grain
that they have previously worked
over. A very good calf mixture con-
sists of three parts corn, three parts
oats, one part bran, one part linseed
meal. Very good calves can be raised
by using only corn and oats. If you
wish to you can feed whole corn and
whole oats for a. period to the time
the calf is three to four months old

as calves seem to prefer the whole

grain to the ground grains and eat
them more readily. However, the
ground grains are preferred after
the calf is three and a. half to four
months-old. The grain should be
fed by hand, giving an allotted
amount as after this time they eat
more grain than they need. If the
grain is unground it will tend to
pass through the digestive tract
without being digested.

~I do not think it is necessary to
feed bone meal to calves that are
being fed liberally on skim milk as
they should have a very bountiful
supply in the milk. Ho'wever, if you
wish to try feeding bone meal it
will do no harm. I suggest that it
be put in a box in the calves’ pen
and they be allowed to take what
they want from the box rather than
forcing them to eat it with the grain '

Part of the f‘knack” of making
money from dairying lies in' keep—
ing a constant watch of the udder
and teats. If the delicate tissues of
these important organs are always
normal and comfortable the milk
ﬂow is free and generous—the job
of milking is made easy.

Bag Balm 1s a wonderful healing.
penetrating ointment—prepared e9
pecially for the care of injured or
stepped—on teats, cuts, inﬂammation,
caked bag, bunches or cow pox, ‘

‘ Bag Balm has no equal. Healing beo
gins at once, irritation disappears.

Bag Balm is clean and pleasant to
use—cannot taint the milk. Big 10—

’has hundreds of uses for all animal
sores, harness galls, etc. 6°C at feed

DO not know of anything that you
I can do excepting to dip them just
as soon as the weather will per-

good warm day soon that you can
dip them and then bed them down
well at night and pen them in a

hardly think you will be able to dip
them before they lamb. Better look
to the place that you are keeping

.' . De Laval x. .
Points the Way to Still
Greater Dairy Profits

1 years ago the dairy industry was undeveloped -
and relatively uniniportant. Today the dairy in- :5
dustry is the largest and most vital industry in the -

world. It has more far-reaching eﬂect upon the health 5
and prosperity of this country than any other industry. \ ' I,

Fifty years ago Dr. De Laval invented the ﬁrst practical : i
centrifugal cream separator, and dairy authorities every- 5
where now say that the cream separator has done more
than any other factor to make modern dairying possible.

First in the beginning, De Laval Separators have kept ‘ \ '
the lead ever since, not only in numbers in use but in w *
continued improvement of design and construction.

Now the new 1928 “Golden Series” Separators, com-
memorating the 50th De Laval Anniversary, mark another
step forward. _They are the most complete, eﬂicient and ““

/ beautiful cream separators ever made. They must prove
a source of pride as well as proﬁt to every owner.

The rapid increase in the use of De Laval Milkers

is now causing as great a change in dairying as. De Laval
' Separators did years ago. There are already thousands
in use, milking more than one million cows with extremely

satisfactory results.
Because of their gentle yet stimulating and miform
\ action De Laval Milkers milk with better results than can
be obtained in any other way. They enable one man to
milk two to three times as many cows as can be done by
hand, and produce clean-
er milk. Sold for cash

HOME GROWN FEEDS SHORT
OF PROTEIN

OST farm-grown feeds have an
excess of fat and carbohy-

protein contained in a commercial
concentrate is one good measure of
its value. Know the analysis of
commercial concentrates bought, so

they will supply what your feeds

“Well, Mr. Jones, I am glad to ‘go
over these records with yen and to
learn how you have made, use of
them; you certainly must get a lot
of satisfaction out of them. When is
the best time to begin keeping rec-
ords?" ‘ .

“I began the ﬁrst of January, but
any time betWeen then and the ﬁrst
of April is very satisfactory.”

“I appreciate this talk with you
very much, Mr. Jones, I am going to
see the county agent tomorrow and
get started in keeping records at
once. And I am going to try to get
into a cow testing association, too.”

After making this decision the tw0
farmers exchanged everyday pleas-
antries and devoted some of their
time to the excellent radio program
before saying goodnight.

ceipt that has been highly recom-
mended and I know of one horse
that was cured. It is also good Ior

I COW LEAKS MILK
EAR EDITOR. —In a recent issue
I noticed an inquiry from a

_ "reader at Paw Paw, I believe,
asking-“tor a remedy for a cow that
leaks milky About two years ago I
had a cow that leaked her .milk and

' readha valuable remedy, not cure, in
Tm: BUSINESS FABMER. I had it ﬁll-
ed at the\ drug store and it sure
worked ﬁne Ior me. ,

It was made up of two drams oI
tincture oI iodine and two ounces of
collodion. After milking the end of
the teat should be dried and then
sealed/with this, using a small cam-
els hair brush.

I;only put it on in the morning in
the,.winter time, but in summer
when (I turned my cows back to past-
ure ﬁeld in the evening after milk—
ing I used it then also. .

I hope the reader will use it and
would be pleased to know it he is
pleged with the results —D. P.,

BEES WILL PAY FOR THE
LIMESTONE

:HILE in Arcola. 111., last winter
I was attracted by the above
headline as I am a beekeeper
and my interest grew as I ap-
proached the exhibit at the County
Institute which' consisted oI a small
pile of limestone, some honey in
.the comb, an up-to-date' hive and
[seme very ’interesting pictures. \A
great .trio——'bees, limestone, sweet
Clover,——we found they worked to-
‘gether and paid for the privilege.

Two boys started out to prove this
by purchasing one colony of bees.
Them to get a good stand of sWeet
clovéi' they bought eight tons of
limestone at ‘a cost of $14. 40 which
they applied to. two acres 01' ground.
Their one colony of bees produced
90 pounds of honey- which they sold
on the local market Ior 20c per
pound making a total cash revenue
of $18. 00——more than they paid for
the limestone. The Fest‘er Bros, 01

White Cap Was Favorite

In Region One, the variety known
as Clement’s White Cap seemed to be
the favorite. Four of the growers
in that region planted this variety
and obtained high yields. Clarage, a
variety developed in Ohio, also
yielded very well for the two growers
who planted it. Mr. Masters of. Wal-
dron who won second award in Re-
gion One, need this variety and ob-
tained a yield of ninety—nine bushels
per acre. .

Mr. Gilbert, of Waldron, planted
a. variety of his own selection as did
Mr. Ferden of Chesaning. The vari-
eties known as Duncan, Silver King,
Murdock and Pickett showed up as
being very dependable in the locali-
ties where they were grown. Pick-
ett was grown by three farmers and
two of these obtained yields of over
seventy—ﬁve bushels per acre. Polar
Dent, the most recent variety to be
added to the list of those certiﬁed
by the Michigan Crop Improvement
Association, was planted by two
farmers.

In Region‘s Two and Three, the
well known Golden Glow seemed to
be the favorite, undoubtedly because
of its early maturity and good yield—
ing ability. Six growers planted this
variety, and two grew M. A. C. Yel—
low Dent to good advantage.’

‘chet Clover in Rotation

Sweet clover, in the rotation,
seerzed to be important to the win-
ners in the 1927 contest. The three
high men in Region One plowed up
sweet clover seeding ‘or land that
had grown sweet clover in'1926 for
their cor-aground. In 1926, high
yields were obtained from ﬁelds that

' had produced alfaIfa. the previous

year. Thus, legumes in the rotgﬁn
and commercial fertilisers or manure
were important factors in obtaining
high yields. Only one grower in the
twenty-nine did not use either ma.—

others fused one or both in their

'too to start a campaign to get
support for such a bill.

All of You remember the Wilson
case. You remember the petitions
that were circulated in every rural
section of the State. Nearly a. bun-
dred thousand people signed them.
Can you imagine the effect that peti-
tions with a. hundred
names on them would have on our
lawmakers? Do you not suppose

' that they would sit up and take

notice? They certainly would, one
hundred per cent.
Circulate Petititms

So let us get these names on peti-
tions, if we want to have such a bill
made a law in Michigan.

We are publishing the heading to
a petition, addressed to the Governor
and the members of the legislature.
Read over the wording and if it ex—
presses your feeling in regard to
such a bill clip it from the paper and
attach a long sheet of writing paper.
Then circulate this among your
neighbors, getting them to sign their
names and addresses, if they feel the
same as you do about it. After one
sheet is ﬁlled attach another on the
bottom of the ﬁrst one, and continue
to add sheets until you get all the
signers you can. Please write on
only one side of the sheet as peti-
tions with names on the back are
not acceptable. Also each party
must give their address. Theil when
you have ﬁnished with your petition
mail it to us so that we can put it
in proper hands for consideraton.

Monroe Farmer Chosen 1927 Corn King

(Continued from Page 4)

In 1928, the Five Acre Corn Grow-
ing Contest will be continued in this
State. It is hoped to make the
scope of this project much broader
and by the continuation of the re-
gional division it is planned to in—
crease the interest on the. part of
more com growers throughout the
State. ~

In 1928, instead of giving a com-
modity prize as sweepstakes award.
this award will be in the form of a
silver cup or trophy and regional
prizes will be awarded in each of the
three districts as in 1927.

rich in lime.

 

A mare may be put at light work at
the end of two weeks after fouling.

Building a good herd with scrub bulls
is as liard as building a good house with
refuse lumber.

 

Always burn or bury dead chickens to
prevent spread of disease.

 

Flowers improve the appearance of the
farmstead.

 

DAIBYMAN'S SONG 1
By Eva Henderson Davey
(Tune: Cowboy Song—Whoopee-ti-yi—you.)

As I was a— walkin’ one mornin’ for plea-
sure,
I met an old farmer a- -1eadin’ a cow '
His hat was pulled low an' his face it
was glomy,
An' I thought to myself, What’s 11 fret-
tin’ him now?
Chorus:
Whoopee-ti-yi—yo, get along you old hoard-
er,
You’ve ate and you've not paid your
keep;
Whoopeee ti— —yi- yo, get along you old board-

You re esold to the Butcher, he’ll put you
to sleep.

Some cows they give milk that ls nearly.
all water
And calves it would take ahnost Pure
cream to fat,
Now just think it over and m quite
truly,
Could anyone make any money by that?

-So if what type want is an income from

'caring for your chicks.

You should be prepared a, little
ahead of the time that you receive
the chicks so that when they come
you will not have to delay putting
them immediately in their future
home. Comfort is one thing chicks
must have if they grow and thrive
as they should. In order that they
be comfortable. you should have
their home ready for them when
they arrive from the hatchery.

VNaturally, the ﬁrst thing
should have a house ready for
them. One of the ﬁrst principles of
a home is that it should be comforta-
ble with a. dry ﬂoor, plenty of fresh
air and if possible, so that direct
sunlight _can reach them through
either one of the modern substitutes
for glass or else through one of the
windows without glass over.it. In
very few localities is it proﬁtable to
risk the chicks without windows of
some kind. Open sheds for chicks
are not successful in any climate ex-
cept possibly in the extreme South.
In selecting your house, bear in
mind that freedom from drafts and
damp ﬂoors, plenty of sunshine and
fresh air are necessary for growing
chicks. '

Warmth is also necessary. The
warmth is supplied by your broader
or brooder stove" but no brooder or
brooder stave can warm up a house
to the proper temperature for baby
chicks if the house is full of cracks
and openings, and has drafts and
damp ﬂoors.
more fatal to baby chicks than a
little cool air, although baby chicks
must be kept moderately warm. The
modern way of brooding baby chicks
calls for plenty of warmth under the
brooder, with an opportunity to get
away from the heating unit out into
air not so warm but Where the
chicks can exercise and eat. With
the modern brooders and brooder
stoves, there will be an abundance
of heat, if your house is at all com-
fortable. Plenty of heat can be pro-
vided if you will watch your brooder
stove and keep it properly ﬁred up.

For the ﬁrst week the chicks
should be kept close to the heating
unit with strips of building paper or
ﬁne mesh wire about eighteen inches
wide set up on edge to keep them
near the brooder.

It is well to put the brooder stove
to one side or the back of the house
so that the chicks will have a chance
to be away from the extreme heat
when they eat and exercise. In se-
lecting a brooder stove be sure and
get one that has more capacity than
you plan to.put chicks under it. In
other words, do not crowd your
chicks into too small a brooder. It
is far better to have a'brooder too
large than to have one just large
enough. One _of the big mistakes
made is putting too many chicks in
one house or around one brooder.

The ﬂoor should be covered with
some litter that 'is free from dust
and will not be harmful for the
chicks to eat. Fine cut alfalfa or
clover, even clean straw and wood
shavings are used. Peat moss is
widely used and proves not ‘only
good for the chicks but makes a
good'fertilizer afterward. Some use
a thin covering of sand on the ﬂoor
with a. good litter on top of it.

You must not overlook enough
water fountains. One water foun-
tain to each twenty—ﬁve chicks is
none too many. The same propor-
tion should be for feed hoppers as
the chicks must be able -to eat easi—
ly‘or they will not eat’ enough. ‘

Crowding in the house and crowd-
ing under the brooder stove are two
of the most cbmmon mistakes in the
way of housing and equipping baby
chicks. ' ‘ _

The following-letter will no doubt

are who have had serious losses from -
White Diarrhea. We, will: let Mrs.
Bradshaw tell other experience in
her own words:

“Dear Sir: I see reports of so many
losing their, little chicks with White
Diarrhea, so thought I would tell my
_ I used to lose a great
many from this Cause, tried many
remedies and was about discouraged.
As a last resort I sent to the Walker
Remedy 00., Dept. 630, Waterloo,
Iowa, for their Walko White Diarrhea
I used two 500 packages,
raised 300 _White Wyandottes and
never lost one or had one sick after
giving the medicine and my chickens
are larger and healthier than ever be-
fore. I have found this company
thoroughly reliable and always get
the remedy by return mail.”-——Mrs. C.
M. Bradshaw, Beaconsﬂeld, Iowa.

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by micro-
scopic organisms which multiply with
great rapidity in the intestines of dis-
eased birds and enormous numbers
are discharged with the droppings.
Readers are warned to beware of E
White Diarrhea. Don’t .wait until it
kills half your chicks. Take the
“stitch in time that save nine." Re-
member, there is scarcely . a hatch
without some infected chicks. Don’t
let these few infect your entire ﬂock.
Prevent it. Give Walko in all drink-

’ ing water for the ﬁrst two weeks and

you won't lose one chick where you
lost hundreds before These letters
prove it: *

Never Lost a Single Chick
Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share of
chicks from white Diarrhea. Finally 5
I sent for two packages of Walko. I 7-
raised over 500 chicks and I never
lost a single chick from White Diar-
rhea. Walko not only prevents White
Diarrhea, but it gives the chicks
strength and vigor; they develop
quicker and feather earlier.”

Never Lost One After First Dose

Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,
Iowa. writes: “My ﬁrst incubator
chicks, when but a few days old, be-
gan to die by the dozen with White
Diarrhea. I tried diﬁerent remedies
and was about discouraged withthe
chicken business. Finally, I sent to ‘
the Walker Remedy 00., Waterloo,
Iowa, for a‘ box of their Walko White
It’s just the only
thing for this terrible disease. We
raised 700 thrifty, healthy chicks and ,
never lost a. single chick after the
ﬁrst dose." '

RICKETS OR LEG WEAKNEBS

We started in the poultry business
last spring with 500 chicks. Had
good luck with them at ﬁrst but
later ,they got lame and seemed to
lose the use of'their legs. Please
tell me what I should have done for
them. Also pleasé tell me how to
avoid so much frost on the inside of
coop in cold weather. Coop is 20x22,
shed vroof type, and has ventilator
near roost. I keep windows open as
much as possible—0. W., Ionia
County.

THINK that if you will add 10

pounds of alfalfa meal, 5 pounds

of bpnemeal and 2 pounds of cod
liver oil‘ to each 100 pounds of mash
feed that you will overcome this
rickets or leg weakness with which
you are bothered. It is caused by
the birds not getting a complete ra—
tion; it is deﬁcient in lime and phos—
phorus.

It is evident that your ventilators
are not workjng. If they were you
would not have any dampness in
your house
working it will draw off this mois-
ture. It might help by extending
those ventilating ﬁnes to within a
couple of feet of the ﬂoor. If they
haven’t the proper construction so
that it acts as a suction it may not
be possible to create a draught
through them. If you can locate any
barn equipment man he could no
doubt tell you how to get these to
working properly. .-

 

LOOKS LIKE 3011p

Some of my hens have what I call
roup. Their nose stops up, their
eyes get watery, then swell and pus
forms. Finally the eyes are swollen
shut, and after a time they die; Can
you give me a remedy? Have been
feeding a ration made up of 100 lbs.
ground meat scraps, 1 lb charcoal
and salt, all mixed and fed in a feed-
er.—J. M.,’ Imlay City, Mich.

THINK you have roup. One of

the first things to look to is the

ventilation; the house must have
fresh air all the time without drafts. ~
The walls and ceilings must not be
damp or wet. Remove all sick birds
as soon as they are found. Clean your
house often as you have been doing.
I think that if you will double the
amount of horn in your mesh and
then add 30 lbs. of bonenieal and 12
ignts at cod liver Oil to cash batch

What will become of those chicks of
yours? Are they here for a few days
only—or will they live and grow as
you want them to do?

Your choice of a starting ration will
largely decide the success you have
with them. Better play safe and give
them a ration you know is right.

There’s no guesswork about results
when you feed Larro Starte'r.’ Not a
single pound of this wonderful ration
was offered for sale until three years
of testing at Larro Research Farm had
proved beyond all question that it
would return the feeder the biggest
possible proﬁt over the feed bill.

Thousands of poultry raisers since that
time have found-that Larro Starter is
utterly different from any chick ration
they have ever fed -that it reduces
chick losses to a minimum—makes
chicks grow faster and more evenly—-

builds health, vigor and resistance to '

disease—starts chicks right on the road
to productive maturity.

Put a brood of chicks on Larro Starter
now! Feed it together with Larro
Chick Grains, following the directions
printed on the sack. You ’11 be aston—

ished at the results you get—and you'll
prepare your chicks to pay you later
the biggest possible proﬁt over the
feed bill.

Cattle

A top heavy cattle market fell of
its own weight during the week end-
ed February 18. Price breaks which
in the case of the higher grades of
medium and heavyweight slaughter
steers were severe, reﬂected a narrow
shipping demand in line with a
weakened condition of the dressed
beef trade. Declines enforced at Chi-
. cag’o on such steers ,during the week,
' added to a slumpy conditon of the
market the previous week, left val-
ues on good and choice grades with
weight $1.50 to $2 below the previ-
ous week's high time.

Fat cows and heifers, in modest
sympathy with the general steer
trade, declined unevenly, the better
grades losing most. At the week’s
high time veal calves were $1 to
$1.510 higher than the previous week
end; but an $18 top had receded to
$17 by the (nose. A few loads of

ﬂeshy feeders sold up to $12.25 to
$12.75, such being destined a short
turn .in nearby feedlots. Grazers
from distant points as well as from
;- the Corn Belt were free buyers of
» ‘ light stocker steers largely at $9.50
” t01$11.50 in partial preparedness for

the approaching grass period.
Hogs
Recent u-pturns in the corn market
were partially credited with the
heavier shipments of “hogs. Senti-
ment of trade interests, however, is
that producers will not continue to
’so' liberally feed a market that is
generally believedto be around bed
rock prices of the season and, al-
“though pork products are accumulat-
ing rapidly in storage, some improve-
ment in live hog values is probable,
' the moment supply pressure is re-
‘ lievd. Lard is getting a decent
clearance and selling well relative to
the price of hogs. Retail dealers have
passed on a considerable portion of
athe decline in wholesale pork pro-
duct prices to consumers and in-
creased consumption is resulting.
The closing top February 8, at Chi.
L» cage was $8.45 with bulk of good
and choice 170 to 210 pound $8.30
to $8.40. ~
Sheep .

Closing price levels on fat lambs
February 18, at Chicago as compared
with a week previous were steady to
25 cents lower on the lighter weight
fat lambs. Wool markets continue
firm, holding recent gains and mak-
ing new ones on domestic grades.
Prices of Wool cloth were reported
j‘ rising with the cost of the raw ma-
* terial.

Receipts of corn at the principal
markets the third week in February
were only about half of those of
the previous week as a result of bad
road conditions. Demand active
from practically all sections. This

- resulted in a steady advance in corn
" prices at all of the important mar~
’ kets. No. 3 yellow corn was quoted
February 18 at‘Chicago at 99 cents
.to $1 per bushel, St. Louis 95% to
96% cents and Kansas City $1.03%
to $1.04. delivered on track at Gulf

'ports.
. Wheat

Smaller shipments of wheat from
the Southern Hemisphere, together
‘with active, buying by domestic mills
strengthened the wheat market and
paused a moderate price advance.

BOSTON WOOLMARKET

The. Commercial Bulletin says:
“Moderate activity is. reported ~ in the
wool market, in spite of the holiday .
and the depleted stocks ofﬁreol’. _
Some manufacturers evidently need
wool for special requirements quick-
ly; and. others are willing to buy
wools at a. price. for more remotegje-
qiiirements.‘ The foreign .markets
are very ﬁrm, although American has
been less . conspicuous among the. .
buyers of late. The foreign primary
markets are rapidly nearing their
close. Contractingjin the 'west has

_narrcwed very considerably, ‘but the

market Tis still, against the buyer.
Further. openings of menis wearlines
at advances of 5 to 12 %c a yard over
last year in fancy worsteds confirm
the earlier advances and the tend-
encyof prices upward. Mohair _, is '
rather quiet, but very ﬁrm. The
rail and water shipments. of wool
from Boston from-January 1, 19.28
.to February 23,1928, inclusive were
37,175,000 pounds, against 32,384,-
000.. pounds for the same period ::‘last
year. The receipts from January 1,

I 1928, to February "23, '1928, inclu-‘f'

sive, were 35,695,900 pounds,
against 42,001,200 pounds :for (the
same period last year. Quotations

Ultra -Violet Rays
from the Sun "

The most powerful force in sunshine. is the Ultra-Violet Rays nature
offers us. This portion of sunshine is necessary to keep plants, animals
and chicks alive and healthy. They are what build up the body and
keep away disease. These rays cannot pass thru plain glass. That’s Why
chicks die behind glass, scientists discovered. The three things a chick
must have to win its ﬁght ‘
against death are food, wa-
ter and Ultra-Violet rays
(actual sunlight. Many peo-
ple overlook sunlight and
wonder why their chicks
die. Do you know that chicks
it kept under plain glass
deprived of Ultra-Violet
Rays, get weak legs, run
down, lack vitality, and ﬁn-
ally die? This photo proves
what Ultra-Violet Rays
will do. The large, healthy
chick received the Ultra-
Violet Rays thru Flex-O-
Glass. The small, sickly
one did not, as it was kept
under plain glass. Flex—O-
Glass lets the Ultra-Violet
Rays pass thru it which
your chicks absorb. Every
chick will stay healthy and
reach maturity much soon-

Baby chicks must have the sun’s Ultra-Violet Rays or they won’t grow; they get
sick and ﬁnally die. Scientists andpoultry experts learned Ultra-Violet rays are just
as essential as food and water. These rays will, not pass thru plain glass windows,
and you can’t aﬁord to turn your' baby chicks out in the slush, cold and unsettled
spring weather to catch cold; get roup and diarrhea and die. But this problem has
been solved. Under Flex-OeGlass your chicks absorb the sun’s vital Ultra-Violet Rays
indoors. These rays pep the chicks up, make them scratch and exercise vigorously
and activate and vitalize their blood; this keeps the chicks warm and healthy. They’ll
grow like weeds under F-LEX—OJGLAASS. » > '
