Roy S. Williams is an energetic
young farms living on the 2804mm»
homestead of his fathers, on the op-
posite  of the road.  boeyh
hood he has known every wood~
_chuck hole, every crows’ nest and
the outlet at every tile drain on
both farms. When. a keeper for the
new colony was needed, be was rec—
ommended as the logical man. A.
former owner of this 47:2-acre estate
drove me out to it and introduced:
me to Mr. Williams, who at the mo-
ment‘ was busy getting a gate—pest
set. He” had stopped to look after
it on. his way back from Eaton
Rapids with the home’s school bus.
A part of his manydut’ies is to drive
the orphaned children to and from
thﬂ? Rapids sch ‘. for until- there are
enough, to mine “a school on the
tam practicable, this must be done.
 he drives them to church
and Sabbath school.

Right Man, in m. Place-
1 I found Mr. Williams to all ap-
pearances the right man in the right
place.“ He is of the upstanding type
at young American W,
with the knack and poise that

“marks. the Yankee strain; he gives
every promise of,~ growing up with
the enterprise. Every ﬁgure I
needed for this. sketch he had in his
head. So I am sure that be has the
same grin- an all the other necessary
details which I did not get to- ask
about. ~ 

There are "now thirteen children
living at the home; in the cottage
and in one of the ﬁne new modern
brick dwellings. Their ages range
from ﬁve to eighteen. Most of them
thus far haire been committed from
the metropolitan area of Michigan.
In the cottage lives a widow with her
six children. She is the relict of a
Spanish war veteran. Two other
_. children, from Virginia, are expected
' soon. Lillian Polle-tte, 18, a. senior

surveyed into village lots, with such
a community in view; and year after
year, as the orphan requirements in-
crease, new houses and other build-
ings will be added.

One fascinating feature about the
plans is the manner by which the
houses are to be provided. They
are to: be built by states, geographi-
calin speaking. That is, the money
to built!' them is raised? by the V’. F.
W. posts throughout each respective
state. Michigan led off in 11926, and
built the ﬁrst house—7a ﬁne, prac-
tical, twmstorey, brick square struc-
ture at modern design, with plumb-
ing, heat-ventilation, elect-rise light-
 and cookery, and nobby furnish.-
ings. This year New York followed;
the second unit, of the same general.
form. of architecture, is. now ready
for occupancy. Next year Illinois
and Pennsylvania will each complete»-
thcirs. With these four comfortable
dwellings as a nucleus, and with
the landscaping beginning to take on
its ﬁrst intimation of future beauty,
by the end of next summer the place
will begin to draw attention. This
will follow from its own- meritorious
appearance, to say nothing of its pa—
triotic interest.

The houses look down upon the
road from a desirable 2540a: slope.

'A. large white farmhouse- commands

the middle foreground. ﬁt is now
used to  and dine- the ﬁve tarm—
hands, but in the future will serve.
as headquarters. It will provide a
port, o3 call for visitors. These at
present average one a day.

The new road, built jointly last
summer, by Ingham, andE Eaton coun~
ties, is no accident. This anyone
can see who has ever tried: to per-
suade a. pair of boards of supervisors
or county road commissions to get
together and spend money on. a joint
road project. There was a man be-
hind the 42-millimeter seige gun
that decorates the front yard, and
his name was Williams. Like the
householder in the parable, he got.
what he wanted when he wanted it;
not without importunity.

Installed Water Supply

Mr. Williams show-ed! us the private
water supply, whose installation he
effected himself this summer; the
rollicking kiddies, for whose wel»
fare he is responsible; and the home-

like interior of the two dwellings...

But the crowning achievement of the
season, aside from a very successful
elaboration oi crops, was the string--
ing. of a private power line trom the
main trunkline of the power com.—
pany. Engineers of a well—known
electric concern demanded $7,000
to put it up. “We won’t pay it!"
was the prompt decision of the self-
relianet Williams. “’We’l-l- build it
ourselves?” And build it they did——
he and his ﬁve hmkies. from, the
farm, working whenever the broad
and nimble acres gave them a
breathing-spell. When. the bills were
all in, the three 'miles of 2300-volt
line was found to have cost $2,800“.
The ﬁgures do not include the super-
intendent’s own time; but this was
practically offset by the sales of line

' Blossom Festival Was Big Event

By mm NAFZIGER

Blossom

 ,, VERN Michigan’s
Festival, which was held in

Berrien County during the
week of. May 6 to 12, eclipsed any
celebration of former years. The

‘ " i "est shown,
the attendance,
I the quality of
the pageant and
ﬂoral parade
' were "all unex-
celled. The fruit
belt was a mass
of bloom, with
the pear an d
cherry trees in
full bloom and
- the apple trees
= just bursting into
bloom.

The selection
of the Blossom
Queen attracted much interest and
certainly proved that not all of
Michigan’s, peaches are of the horti-

 

Herbert um...

cultural! kind. Miss Elsie Lemke of'

St. Joseph waschosen Queen, and
her reign was one of grace and
beauty.

The May Pageant and crowning of
the queen took place beneath smil-
ing skies at Filstrup Field, Benton-
Harboi‘, and was a treat for the ca.-
pacity crowd which ﬁlled "the
stadium.  -

The, Queen’s Ball in Shadowland
Pavilion at Silver Beach, St. Joseph,
was a memorable event and? the

week’s‘festivities were topped off in"

grand style by the great Flora-l
Parade which wendred its way
through Benton Harbor and St. Jo—
seph on May 12 between solid walls
of applauding people, about one hun—
dred thousand strong. One hundred
and six beautifully decorated ﬂoats
and sixteen bands formed the parade
together with a police escort on
motor—cycles, color guard of the St.
Joseph American Legion, and Michi-
gan Naval Reserves. Heading the
parade was Kellogg’s Band of Battle
Creek. Then followed the Blossom
Queen’s ﬂoat, and the parade moved
on past the appreciative throng.

The grand Sweepstakes prize was
won by a ﬂoat entered by the Preston
Lumber Company of Benton Harbor.
This beautiful creation showed an
enormous peach resting on a pillow
of blossoms. The peach was halved
with the upper half tipped. up like a.
lid. Inside of the peach. sat a hu—
man “peach”, Miss Katherine How-
ard of Benton Harbor.

Winners of ﬁrst prizes in the vari-
ous classes Were as follows: Cities,
Holland, Mich. Villages, Hartford.
Trade associations, Benton Harbor
Retail Merchants Association. Clubs,

'Benton Harbor Exchange Club. City

schools, St. Joseph High School. Vil-

apiece.
pany’s bosses tells him that any time
it is for sale, they will buy it. “It’s
a good line."

Very Productive Farm

The farm, as my driver, the for--
mer owner, assured me, is a very
productive one. Figures bear him
out. Last season the six men raised
1589 bushels of extra. grade Mic-hi-
gan winter wheat, 1057 bushels of
rye, 3232 bushels of oats, and 168
loads of hay. Cash sales for the year
just closed totaled $5,287. Next
year they are expected to run be-
tween. six and seven thousand.

There is a ﬁne herd of 26 regis-
tered Holstein cattle on the place,
whose cows average $200 in cream
a month. There are twelve horses,
112 sheep, and half a hundred hens.

The farm itself shows a proﬁt al-
ready. The colony that is being
built up is, of course, another story.
This is to be developed and sustained
by gifts, coming, for the most part,
through the veterans’ organization.

. One Cent from Each Sale

Every poppy you buy of the V. F.
W. on the street on Decoration Day
contributes one cent to this home.
This is true throughout the United
States; Presumably not a small
part of the industries that will keep
women’s and children’s hands busy
between play, study and rest spells
in the future will be the manufac-
ture of these same poppy bouton—
nieres here, by the widows and or—
phans of the nation’s defenders.

There is a historical set recently

out by this organization. The Kelley
Book Company, Chicago, its pub-
lishers, contributes 1% per cent of
its proﬁts on the sales of this set,
for the home.

A third popular source of revenue
is the growing business the “bud-
dies” enjoy in the sales of Christ-
mas trees. The idea originated in
Michigan, but has spread to. New
York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Min.-
nesota and Montana, and will prob-
ably soon conquer the nation. “Do
the proﬁts from these trees go to
help the Eaton Rapids home?” I
asked one burly overseas man, em-
bowered in spruce and shouting him-
self hoarse. “You bet they do!” he
exclaimed. “And next Saturday after-
noon we’re all gonna drive over
there and give them kiddies a.
Christmas!” And a. Christmas they
got—we may be sure of that.

The Sheldon farm pleased the vets
erans by reason of its excellent lo-
cation. The Grand River washes its
northern and eastern boundary, and.
along its shores is a- pleasant picnic
grove. The making of $250 worth
of park furniture for the dell was
another part of the labors of the
colony workers last summer. The
little riverside park is a summer ren-
dezvous for veterans and their fami—
lies from all over the peninsula.
They like to picnic here and couple
their relaxation with a visit to the
growing colony and its capacious
grounds. Other folks do, too.

I noticed a squarish. two-storey
wooden building, something like an
old—time blockhouse, standing in the
middle of the barn—yard. “What’s
that?" I demanded. “Oh,” said Wil-
liams, “that’s to house the electric

equipment and other controlling de- y:

vices-«except for the kids; we don’t-
control them from there." “Yeajli,
but what are all those lace curtains?
on the windows?” “Oh, they’re 51181:
to make it look nice." 1

Lace curtains in a barnyard?!
Something of an innovation. But it;
must be all right where the yard is,
full. of aristocratic cows. v . ~

“ HE MIRACLE OF MULCH PAPER", based
upon actual trials of paper mulch in this
country and abroad during the past few years,
gives some astounding ﬁgures on increases in
yields for almost all crops. It shows how
paper mulch affects the moisture and temper~
ature conditions of the soil. It shows the
proper methods of using paper mulch in con-
nection with diﬂ'erent types of crops. It shows
- how to plant THROUGH the paper and
BETWEEN rows of the paper. Be sure to send
for YOUR‘ free copy today.

Gator-Hide Mulch Paper, made by the world’s
largest paper manufacturers under the Eckart
Patents, is available to all planters today in
limited quantities. Thousands of rolls are now
in the ﬁelds under test. Farmers everywhere
are seeking to determine for themselves just
what paper mulch will do for them in the form
of increased yields, reduced cultivation expense
and EARLIER crops.

When sending for the booklet,“The Miracle of
Mulch Paper”, place your order at the same
time for a few rolls of Gator-Hide Mulch Paper
and see for yourself just what its possibilities are
when applied to YOUR particular problems.
But, whether you decide to try Gator-Hide or
not, send for the booklet. It’s FREE and it’s
IMPORTANT.

The supply of Gator-Hide Mulch Paper is lim-
ited today and we are shipping not more than
four rolls to an individual. By early 1929, how-
ever, we expect to meet all demands and we
believe that distributors located throughout
the country will then have a supply always avail-
able for your use.

QOULD TAKE STRAW

We are renting a farm and our
contract says the rough feed should"
be fed on the farm. But we bought,
when we came, two loads of straw.
Now can we, when we move, take
that much straw with us? Or if we

want to can we sell two loads of

straw for what we can get out of it?
Can we move corn and fodder if it
isn’t husked?——G. H., Isabella Co.

HE common practice where ten-
T ants bring feed or roughage on
the farm at the beginning of the
leasing term is that they have the
privilege of taking the same quan-
tity or same value of the rproduct
with them when they go.
Under your contract you could not

MUSKRAT FENCE IN GROUND,‘

How deep should the fence in the
ground be f'or‘ m‘uskrats?—LL M.,
Hemlock, Mich.

_ regard to depth of muskrat fence
in the gound, I can only say that
we lack reallyfauthoritative data,

for a generaltr‘eply. ..However, the
custom in the State seeihs to be .to
sink fence about six-inches below the
surface in upland, and from one foot
to eighteen inches in marsh ground.
Of course, theseldepths vary with _,cir- .
cumstances. 'It. will be necessary to
sink the fence much deeper where-
ever it crosses any sort of water
course. The above ﬁgures will prob-
ably be satisfactory in most cases.—
G. W. Bradt, M. S. C.

Compare the results of the new
Instantaneous Dip—~DSLPDUST—with

the old—fashioned “two-hour seek”
treatment. Above is a photograph
taken on the farm of A. Schlecht-
weg, Freehold, N. J.

While vines were still green, 2'5
consecutive DIP‘DUST and corror
sive sublimate treated hills were dug.
Dipdust hills had 23 sound and only
2 decayed seed pieces. Corrosive
sublimate hills had only 4 sound and
21 decayed seed pieces.

DIPDUST is much more effective
than the old—fashioned ways of treat-
ing seed potatoes. Besides, you can
treat your seed potatoes as fast as
you can scoop them up. Just dip
them in Dipdust solution and out
again and your seed is all ready to
plant. One man can easily treat
from 200‘ to 400 ibushels of potatoes
per day.

There is not the slightest danger
of injuring the sprouts or even cut
seed. DIPDUS‘I‘ controls surface-
borne diseases, such as Rhizoctonia,
scab and black—leg, and protects cut
surfaces from seed rotting organ—
isms in the soil. It insures sturdy
proﬁtable plants that will increase
your yield from 15 to 25 bushels per
acre.

 Tractor Contented
y Using Polarine

  
 

TRACTOR wil “quit” you know—and threaten ‘
to “quit” just like‘ a dissatisﬁed man. 

    
 

Of course a tractor can’t leave you—but it can refuse I
to work and it can wear out before it should. When -
a tractor nits it means delays and repairs that cost you
money. « ou can’t afford to have your tractor quit!

  
     
  

 

 

 
 

.There is always some sound and sensible reason
when a tractor “kicks”- Usually it’s oil. You can
easily prevent trouble b keeping your tractor well
lubricated—by using Po arine.

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   

If you stop to think about it, the engine of a tractor
has a pretty tough job. A tractor ploughs—harrows
—discs-cultivates-—in a cloud of dust. Dirty work!
Grime is constantly getting into the engine and if oil
isn’t there to protect it, trouble starts.

 

Polarine cushions all the moving surfaces of the env
gine and keeps them Cushioned with a ﬁlm of oil.
It protects them from the grinding of grit. If your
tractor is lubricated with Polarine you will hear a
steady contented whir from the engine—a song of a
. . worker that is willing and tireless—a mighty good
I ' ‘ song to hear when there’s work to be done!

 

Polarine is the economical oil for tractors—efﬁcient
—always dependable, as the thousands who use it will
tell you. There’s a special grade made for your tractor.
Try it! For Fordsons — use Polarine Special Heavy!-

CORN BORER PAY

EAR EDITORz—I would use to

have you investigate those

“farmers” from Indiana who
went to Washington and made the
report that" the rest of the'iarmers
in the corn borer area did not want
pay for extra labor in combatting the
corn borer. There must be some-
thing wrong with t'heir heads, or
they have- been hired to make such a
report, or they are bank-book farm-
ers and not interested in the welfare
of brother farmers. Yours for suc—
cess.~—L. E. Hobson, Lapeer County.
——It is plain to be seen that some-
thing must have been wr0ng, Neigh-
bor Hobson, because any farmer who
is familiar with the corn borer and
knows the clean-up work that must
be done would not say that farmers
did not want pay for their extra la-
bor. Some tell us that farmers in
the corn belt are not sufficiently in-
formed on the matter and believe it
will be-exterminated before it ever
gets to their corn ﬁelds. Well, any
of them that believe that are going
to be greatly fooled—Editor.

EAR EDITOR:———Have read your
D articles from different parts of

they can’t tell me the pheasant does
not do damage.‘ Four years ago they
thinned out a piece of barley and
oats by pulling up the sprouted
grain‘, and ﬂve‘iyears ago I husked
nearly halt of the twelve—acre ﬁeld of
corn, and a good third was picked
from the tip of the car by pheasants.
Early in the morning as I could see

 KBUIJM;

' R. W. VIKLOVIEJOY, of R. F. D.
1 No, 2.. Milford, Michigan, has
, _ / written in requesting us to ex-
plain the object or our Minute Man
r movement. His questions, seem” to
indicate that there may be a doubt in
the Vminds of the farmers of our
State just what our object is in or-
ganizing the Minute Men, and what
we intend to do with the organiza-
tion. His letter seemed of such im-

‘~ Dortance that I am going to quote
his questions and give the answers‘

to each questiOn, with the hope that
it will be of beneﬁt toother tarm-

ers who are now organizing other .

townships throughout the States
s t s- '

Mr. Lovejoy’s first question reads
as follows: “Just what is the organ~
ization of ‘Minute Men'?" I

The Minute Men movement, is fos-
tered by THE Businsss Fanatics to
unite the‘iarmers of Michigan into a
solid body, with, the sole object in
mind of stopping the universal steal-
ing in rural districts. The first unit
in the Minute Men movement is the
township. then the county, and ﬁnal-
ly a solid State organization. We
propose in each township to co-
operate in all instances with local
officials, and it is our desire to have
a group of about three farmers in
each township deputized by the local
county sheriif. We will then pro—
ceed to thoroughly organize each
township within a given county, then
there~ will be a county organization,
and ﬁnally a State organisation de-
veloped from this group. The crooks
are always organized; they believe
in co-operation and we as farmers
should learn a lesson from them, and
stick‘ together, for it has been
truthfully said that there is honor
even among thieves, and certainly we
should unite in order to defeat them
and ﬁnally drive them from our
State.

F's: ,

The secOnd question is, “What or
how much authority do the Minute
Men have?”

The Minute Men, as'rindividuals,
have no additional authority other
than private citizens, but as stated
in reply to the ﬁrst question, we will
request that three deputy sheriffs be
appointed in each township more or
less as the case warrants, and de-
pending of course upon the co-oper-
ation we receive from the county
usheriif in said county, as we have no
L5a.;titlltlrityto make appointments our-
selves. " For example, should one 93
our farmers have some property]
stolen, the Minute Men will immedi-’
ately respond to his call, and in '
that group will be from one to three
men that will have authority to
make arrests, sotha’t in case a thief
is being pursued, the group of farm-
ers will new the right to make the
arrest at the time he is caught.

0 O

The third question is “What does
it mean to be deputized?”

This simply means that your local
county sheriff appoints you a deputy

power to arrest‘t'he same as any dep—
uty sheriff has in the county at the
present time.
t O C
The fourth question , “Are they
volunteer assistants the law and

This is a voluntary organization
andas such, is pledged to give as—
sistance and co-operation t9 all local
law enforcement officials. It is ex-
pected that the Minute Men will work
whole-heartedly in conjunction with
all officials, and in turn you can de—
pend upon it that the same officials
will be anxious to co-operate with
the MinuteMen, and to produce ar-

nlize that a group ofJarmers are
solidly organized in their county to
see that such law enf'orcements are
carried, out.
t O t

The last question is, “Has a Min—
ute Man authority to make arrests?”

The Minute Man, as an individual,
does not‘have any-more authority to

LL health caused the Mnirs—‘Jnther, mother, Mary and Terry—to sell their .1
Iowa. farm and move westward. Accompanied by Doug Summers, an orphan
who has lived with the family for many years, they located in Colorado.

Doug and Mary plan to wed but times are hard for the ﬁrst couple of years and
Doug suggests that he is going to earn some money riding wild horses. The
Muirs do not approve and Doug leaves home. After *ridlng several horses suc-
cessfully he has a chance at “Catapult,” the one horse that even the best riders
of the country had not been able to conquer. He is thrown the ﬁrst time but
he determines to try again for the pulse of $1,000 offered. Back on the Muir
ranch they are losing cattle and it looks as though there were thieves ntiwork.

“ 00K at that cow," he said. “Can
/ you tell who she belongs to without
looking at the brand?" i

“These cattle up here." he complained,
‘Llook so much alike that I can't see much
difference in them, but if that isn't the
old whitefaced cow that caused us so
much trouble breaking into the stacks
last winter, why I’m a liar." ‘

“She looks familiar to me, too," said
Mort, “but I'll bet ﬁve dollars to a rice
straw I can tell you what brand she's
wearing without moving out of my
tracks."

"If that's her," said Terry, "It would
be easy to guess that she wore the Bar
Z Bar—our brand."

“Don't kid yourself," snorted Mort. “I'm
bettin' on her wearing that new brand,
that Bar Box X Bar, made this way.”
And he diagrammed it by a bar over a.
square box with an X inside and another
bar underneath.

Terry spurred down and turned the
cow. “Bar Box X Bar,” he said.

Mort joined him.

“See 110w easy it would be to change
the Bar, Z Bar into that?" he asked.

“I see," said Terry. “But that brand
looks all right. If it’s our cow they had
to add some fresh lines to the brand,
didn't they? And anybody can tell a
fresh brand from an old one."

Mort snorted in disgust. ‘

“You never seen a blanket expert's/

work, kid," he said.

“They can’t do that," said Terry. “We'll
miss the cattle."

“Come on," said Mort. “Got sometlﬁng
else I want to show you."

They rode for some time after that
Mort stopped and-ex—
amined every dead animal, of which there
were plenty, carefully. If the brand was
not uppermost, he turned the animal.

"Here," he said, pausing at the fourth
carcass they found. ‘Now take a good
look at this brand. See anything wrong
with it?"

It was their brand, Bar Z Bar, and
Terry dismounted to have a close look.
Then he noticed that the Z was backward.

“See it?" grunted Mort.

“I see that the Z is backward," said
Terry slowly, “but that don’t mean any-
thing. Lots of them Z’s Were put on
with a. running iron and we might have
made them backward."

“Yes,” said Mort, “you might, Lossing
ang'pis helpers might have made a Bar
2 Bar out of their Bar Slash Bar, too."

Then Terry saw what Mort was driving
at.

q “I see now," he said slowly. “Every
time one of their animals dies bearing a.
Bar Slash Seven brand they just have to
add a bar to the top and bottom of the
Slash to make it a Z. .Easy, isn't it?”
“So easy we ought to have been shot
not to have seen it before. Then they
change the Bar Z Bar on a. healthy ani-
mal to a Bar Box X Bar, and everything
is jake. They can't suspicion any one is
stealing your cattle, because there is a
dead one to account for the one they
changed your brand on."
“That’s a. new one on me," said Terry.
“They had to get somethin’ now.” said
Mort. “If they couldn't leave some kind
of an animal in place of the one they re-
branded, and you didn't ﬁnd dead ones to
correspond with your loss, at round-up
time, it would be bound to come out. Now,
then, let’s see if we can ﬁgure just how
many cattle you've lost thru the poison.
Guess there’s around three thousand head
on this range, all told, ain’t there?"
“About that," nodded Terry.

“Well, we've found about a hundred
and ﬁfty dead ones, about all wearing
your brand. Now, what per cent of the
dead ones ought 'to be yours?"

“We turned out about three hundred,"
ﬁgured Terry. “There’s ten per cent of
the number on the range. Ten per cent
of the dead ones is ﬁfteen. Fifteen, then,
would be our loss."

‘Sounds‘better, don't it?" grinned Mort.

“Sounds better, yes," said Terry, “but
is it? If they've actually changed a.
brand on one of our live cattle every time
they’ve found one of theirs dead, we've
lost a steer as completely as if the poison
had killed it. What can we db about it?"

“Lay low,” said Mort. “Maybe we can
catch,them at it. If we don't we'll have

> a. chance at them when they ship. We'll

have a brand expert there and he’ll jerk
the hide off one of the doubtful ones.
That will tell the tale." 

“Do you thing young Stutgart is in on
this?" asked Terry asthey turned home-
ward.

“No,” said Mort. “I don't. The money
wouldn’t mean anything to him. But you
can bet your bottom dollar Lossing and
Messer are."

“I don't know just what to do." said
Terry.

“Lay low," said Mort. “Keep this still.
If we canl'catch them changing a brand,
then we can railroad them. If we can’t
we'll get them at the pens. One thing I
want you to do, tho, is to write the brand
commissioner and see if that Bar Box X
Bar is registered as one of the Stutgart
brands." '

“And if it is?” said Terry.

“Then it will mean that either young
Stutgart is in on this, or his father, or
both,” concluded Mort with a. snap of his
jaws.

“I'll write as soon as we get home,"
promised Terry. “And maybe run over to
town and mail it.”

“Do,” urged Mort.

Terry did, and met Doug coming out of
the postofﬁce as he went in. Doug stop-
ped him.

“Leaving for Kansas City this after-
noon, Terry," he said.

“You are," said Terry, slipping the
letter in the slot

“Big ro'deo there next week," said
Doug. “I cant afford to let this easy
money get away from me." '

“Doug,” said Terry, earnestly, “when
a person risks their neck or life for a few
dollars I wouldn't call it easy money."

“Life!” jcrred Doug; “I'd like to see
the walled-eyed bronc that can break my
neck."

“It’s been done," replied Terry, "to
just as good riders as you are, Doug."You
know it. We need you at the ranch now
pretty bad, Doug." P '

“Not so very bad,” said Doug, “seeing
that your father the same as drove me
off."

“Let's not quarrel, Doug," said Terry;
"and don’t blame me for that.”

Doug softened.

“You’re a good old scout, Terry," he
said. “Train leaves in about an hour.
Going to see me off?"

“Of course," said Terry.
from here going along?"

“Sid and his sister," said Doug in an
offhand manner. ‘They're got people in

“Anybody

Kansas City that they've been ﬁguring-

on visiting. Decided to kill two birds
with one stone."

“Doug,” said Terry, earnestly, “they'll
lead you a gay old life down there. Don't
let them pull you under."

“Don’t worry about little Doug,” grin-
ned Doug. “He knows his marbles."

“You can’t go with that bunch,— Doug,”
said Terry. “You've got your way to
make. Theirs is already made for them.
We can't afford to squander timer and
money as they do."

“I can do a lot of" things that would
surprise you," said Doug enigmatically.
“You don’t know all I do, Terry. Don’t
worry about me any."

Terry saw him off. It was almost like
saying good-bye at the grave. He knew
that if Doug came thru what was before
him it would be something in the miracle
class. Doug was going in altogether too
fast company.

Terry’s lettter had only to go to Denver.
The reply came three days later and in-
formed him that the brand in question
was the property of Spencer Lossing.

Mort nodded his head.

“Just as I thought," he said. “Now if
one of us can take turns riding the range
and keep our eyes open, maybe we can
catch them red-handed. One will be
plenty, if I know them oleanders; either
one of them will squeal so loud on the
others that you could hear him a mile."

“We’ll begin tomorrow," said Terry,
and ride turn about. Guess we can man-
age till haying starts; might even man—
age to hire a. hand if we have to." 

“It would pay you," said Mort. “I'll
take ﬁrst turn. Don’t go out without
some kind of a gun. You might need it,”

Terry grinned.

“Sounds like the wild and wooly west
day," he said.

“She's as wild and wooly a west as
ever,” Mort assured him, “only in a. dif-
ferent way. People are not so open about
their oneriness, but that's not sayin’ they
are not as onery as ever. People don't
change that way m’ lad." ,

Terry was still digesting this a few

days later when he rode out on the range;

He had been thinking of it for some time
and, had about come to the conclusion
that Mort was right. And the pressure

of a barrel of a. thirty-thirty riﬂe beneath

his leg was not disconcerting.

TEXT: “Peace, 1 leave with you." John
14:27.

‘Spring ﬂowers! Spring ﬂowers!
Spring Roses Red,
To deck the gallant soldier’s bed;
In freedom’s cause his blood was
shed."

VEN so! Surely, no one would
' stop the ﬂoral tribute to the
brave dead who sought to satis—
fy the summons 01 their country. To
do so Would also be rudely forgetful
of the courageous mothers who said
their last goodbye; of the broken-
hearted wives who were robbed of a
manly love and a supporting com—
panionship; and of many others upon
whOm was arbitrarily forced a future
of loneliness and sorrow. The recent
suggestion of the state to make it
possible for mothers to visit the
graves of their boys who succumbed
in the maw of Mars is, one of sym-
pathy and gratitude. Few would deny
this pilgrimage to the wooden crosses
of our fallen heroes. It will bring a.
meed of comfort to our gold star suf-
ferers. And that is something much
worthwhile. But it "and time can
never assuage the grief and tears
brought upon them during a few ter-
rible years of bloody carnage.

The dead have kept their pact.
They were asked to do it for democ-
racy and peace. They counted not
their lives dear unto themselves.
Noble sacriﬁces for others! But
where are ours? And why not? Did
our boys bequeath to us a near-
peace? Or was it just a mirage? For
. ten years and in great anguish ev-
‘ ery Memorial Day has been throwing

out this challenge to the war system.
It was said that we were ﬁghting a
_ war to end war; a war to guarantee
lworl‘d peace. Blessed Utopia! But
' where is it? With colossal military
expenditures, doesn’t it look that we
are but conjuring with this ideal? Or,
are we ready to clothe it with action
and reality? Ready to memoralizo
with our lives the pact of peace en—
shrined in the sanctuaries of our
dead heroes?

, But for nineteen centuries we have
‘been standing by the sacred shrine
of one Lone Galilean. And is there
any oracle? Harken! “Peace, I leave
with you.” This bequest of our Mas-
ter’s carries us back to a time when
society was rude and martial, and
therefore furnished no end of ene-
mies to his Order of Peace. Yet
- these farewell words are invested
with an uncommon meaning‘ and
'power. Peace, to Jesus, was more
than I proposal; more than a pro—
gram. It was a reality. It was in-
dwelling Love. It was harmony with
God and man. It was a conscious-
ness that deep down in his heart was
a tranquility that shut out all selﬁsh-
ness, hate, and violence. This Jesus
‘ Christ bequeathed to the world; veri-
iﬁed it in sacriﬁcial and peacefully
constructive living; and consummat-
ed it in his resistless slaughter at the
‘ hands of conspirators.

This conferment of peace upon hu-
' man society is now so generally ac-
cepted and considered practicable
.that Lloyd George said a few years
ago that if the churches allow an-
“ other war to fructify they had better
'close their doors.

“Whence come wars and whence
come ﬁghtings among you?" The
apostle hurries to answer that it is
thru pleasures, lust and covetous-
ness. It follows, therefore, that in
‘ any program of peace, these innate
evils must be recognized, hated, and
driven out of society. But if war is
essentially a moral evil it demands a
moral remedy. We cannot make too
much of the physical evils of war nor
try too hard to alleviate these suf—
ferings. But why not accept the
gage of Jesus and outlaw it? Why
not strike at its root? Why build a.
fence at the bottom of the precipice
to catch the unfortunate victims? In
it notpwiser to fence against it? Phys-
icar’afﬂictions that come upon us

other operations of‘nature. am not

of love that are necessary to bind
human society together. Death com-
ing thruf the order of nature gathers
our friends around us for solace, and
inspires all concerned to solemn and
charitable moods. But death from
the hand of man in battle is cruelly
revengeful. It hardens the conscience
of the victor and leaves the victim
unpitied and unsolaced. It is hard
to see how blood shed in the heat’of
the killing instinct can seal any pact
of peace. Sadly the Wooden Crosses
in France have left many wrongs be-
hind to be righted. The tap—root of
the war system is yet strong and vig-
orous.

But Jesus would withdraw nour-
ishment from this root. Christianity
has power to neutralize the war spir-
it and thus prevent preparation for
war. But not the nominal type. Not
the kind involved in arbitrary de—
crees of church or state; but that
which is conferred upon us by the
life of its Founder. Here we ﬁnd a
religion that prescribes the passions
of hate and lust and selﬁsh domin-
ion; a religion that knows no rich
or poor, race or nationality, nor any
other division that separates men in-
to hostile groups. This religion is
motivated by love, sympathy, and an
intelligent and moral understanding
of the sacredness of humanity. It
sets itself aganist all wrong to any
individual or nation no matter how
small or weak. It is in sympathy
with that sovereignty of conscience
which is the inherent right of every
soul. Could the essence of Christian-
ity, which is love and reverence for
all mankind, prevail in American so-
ciety, it would arouse a stupid world
and slay war at its heart.

Speciﬁcally, there are two main
hindrances to the attainment of such
a state of peace. First, there is yet
a too common belief that the state
has an inherent right to war. This
type of nationalism is a carry—over
from feudal times. Many are now
sharply challenging this so—called di-
vine right of rulers by throwing upon
it the spot—light of a Higher Sover-
eignty. “My country, may it always
be right,” is a patriotism to be cher-
ished. But "My country right or
wrong” is a fundamental negation of
Christian citizenship. We sincerely
believe that the purposes of society
and of the state will best be served
by" seeking ﬁrst the Kingdom of God.
Were this the case, the state would
ﬁnd her highest duty away from war.

But again, we fail to consider what
mamis that God is somindful of him.
We do not fully recognize the sacred-
ness and dignity of human nature.
We set the forces of war in motion,
little caring who the victims will be
or what woe and misery are to be
brought to the human soul. We are
insensible to the full worth of the
immortal principle in man. How
much longer is the world to be dom-
inated by the organized forces of
hate, fear, and torture? Isn’t it time
to attach to the names “neighbor”
and “brother” a veneration that shall
be respected? Then let us go forward
with more than withering laurels for
the shrines of our fallen heroes. Let
us contend with a deep moral con—
viction for the right to peace that
Christ has conferred upon individuals
and society. Let us put our faith in
organized justice and goodwill as a
remedy for war. Thus we ﬁrst serve
our God and we best honor the state.

These prices are approximate and are for labor only,
because the number of necessary parts needed depends
on the condition of each car. The charge for these parts
is low, however, because of the established Ford low-

price policy.

So that you may get the greatest use from your Model
T Ford over the longest period of time, we suggest that
you take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him
estimate on the cost of putting it in good shape. A very
small expenditure may be the means of giving you thou.

sands of miles of additional service.

LET’S HEAR FROM THE BOARD

LSCUSSING the recent disturbance at M. S. C.

in his department in this issue our Mr. V.

0. Braun suggests that he would be very
much interested in a statement from the State
Board of Agriculture on the matter and he is of
the opinion that the taxpayers of Michigan want
and have a right to know. Amen, we say. Let‘s
hear from the board.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

H0 is going to be the Republican candidate
for President? Herbert Hoover has the
backing of the ﬁnancial interests but it is

said the farmers will defeat him. Rural America
is apparently favoring Frank 0. Lowden but he
cannot land the votes of the business men and
ﬁnancial interests. So it seems a dark horse will
have to be groomed. Will it he Charles Dawes?
Your guess is as good as ours.

FRIGHTENED CIHCKEN THIEVIﬁ

{N Oklahoma farmer has a rather unusual and
satisfactory way of protecting his chickens
from thieves. Around the top of the fence

around his chicken yard he has a wire which is
connected with a battery and the battery is con-
nected with a loud auto horn. When someone at-
tempts to climb the fence it causes the horn to
blow.

A person could also have a spot light hooked
into the circuit which would light when contact
was made.

With marked poultry, locked houses, burglar
alarms of various types. and rewards being of—
fered, the life of the rural thief is not what it
used to be—well, hardly.

STILL TIME TO ENTER

E ARE well pleased with the number of en-
v‘ tries to date in our Farm Home Yard

Beautifying or Improvement contest but we
can take care of many more so if you have con-
sidered entering but haven’t sent in your appli-
cation blank we hope you will do so soon. Of
course, there is plenty of time yet for making
entries, the closing date being July lst of this
year, but we are anxious to get them in as soon
as possible so "that we may know how ‘many are
in the contest. It you are not familiar with the
contest complete details will be sent you upon
request.

agricultural colleges, but this time it is right at -

home, at our Michigan State College and Prof. R.
H. Pettit is thevman who needs it in order that
he may help the farmers'of Michigan ﬁght next
year’s attack of white grubs.  '

“It happens that brood C of the June beetle
is due to come out in Michigan during the pres-
“These
beetles will lay their eggs in sod land for the
most part and their oﬁspring will attack the roots
of grasses, corn, grain and potatoes next year.
I am very anxious to. get this particular brood
mapped for Michigan as accurately as possible
and would therefore welcome and appreciate any
records of any large numbers of these June
beetles ﬂying in our State. All places badly
infested by June beetles this year are sure to have
to endure a crop of white grubs next year in land
that is in grass sod right now.”

Any or our folks who see large numbers of
June beetles ﬂying this year are urged to send
several in with a short note as to how numerous
they are in their locality. Send either to the
Editor of M. B. F., or direct to Prof. R. H. Pettit,

PRINTED LE‘I‘I‘ER HEAD

YING on our desk is a letter from “Hill Crest
Farm” type written on very business—like
stationery. The name of the farm appears

in the center at the top ofthe sheet in fair size
type. Directly under it is the name of the owner,
Walter M. Schworm, and under that appears the
line, “The Aim: Better Stock—Better Crops—‘-
Produced Economically." At the left of the
name of the farm, in; small type, we ﬁnd “Pure
Bred Hampshire Hogs” and under that a brief
statement on the ﬁne points of the breed. At
the right of the name appears, “Practical Farm-
ing" and under that “ ‘Golden Russet’ Potatoes"
and "Barred Plymouth Rock Chickens."

Anyone receiving a letter from Mr. Schworm

feels that he is dealing with a. business farmer.
A It is a. mighty good idea to have your farm
named and have printed stationery.

A WONDERFUL AGE

E certainly are living in a, wonderful age; a

few weeks ago I went down to Detroit to

see the Airplane Show. It certainly was a.
great show; you could see the evolution of the
airplane industry. The crude monoplane which
ﬂew across the English Channel in 1909 was
shown on the same ﬂoor with the large, modern
Fokker plane which Commander Byrd ﬂew over
the North Pole. This great advancement was ac-
complished in only a few years. .

The same is true with the automobile industry.
At the Chicago automobile show last winter I
saw the modern automobiles of today along side
of cars built ﬁfteen or twenty years ago and the
comparison would bring laughter from any ob-
server.

Far-mers’ Week at M. S. C. last winter showed
the same results in Agriculture. Methods. ma-
chinery, crop rotations, and the kind of stock
and grains used ﬁfteen or twenty years ago are
in many instances out of date today.

We are living in a. new and advancing age; an
age which pays a premium for the man with
brains, with scientiﬁc training, and for the man
who grasps the newer methods and uses them to
advantage. We“ farmers must keep up with the

\times in agriculture or we shall be a back num-

,—

her the same as the man in any other industry"

who does not keep up with the times.-—-—V. 0. B.

NATIONAL AIRWAYS SYSTEM

What do you advise in regard to
the company known as the National

Airways System located at Lomaxt

Illinois? This company is offering
hares oi! stock for sale. They ad-
vertise through a paper called “The
Flyer" and claim to manufacture air-
planes called “The Air-King."—
Subscriber. Bellevue, Mich.

HIS concern was incorporated‘un-
der the lawsbt Illinois in 1925
with an authorized capital of

10,000 shares of common stock, par
value §10.00 per share. During the
ﬁrst two years the company conﬁned
its work mostly to repairing air-
planes but later began the manu-
facture of a plane sold under the
name of “Air-King.” Ofﬁcials are
claimed to have stated that demand
exceeds production.

A ﬁnancial statement of the com-
pany of September 15. 1927. showed
assets of some $98,000 and outstand-
ing stock to the amount of $69,550,
but they failed to give any ﬁgures on
their sales.

According to information we have
beerr ablevto get, S. F. Tannus, pres-
ident and general manager, has been
connected with various promotional
enterprises centered in Lomax. Illin-
ois, since 1918 or thereabouts with-

CHAD! LETTERS

"This letter of good luck was sent
to me by a good friend i am sending

friend with in 24 hours to whom you

ed by oﬁieer in flanders an must go

it is postaviely remarkable how many
times predicment has won true
scienas the chain started. send this

this."

Dear Publisherz—This letter came
in our mail yesterday. What would
yl‘r/imhmake of it?—Reader, Dansville,

1c .

T is the old chain letter scheme.
Ordinarily we hear about it every
little while but this is the ﬁrst

letter to come to our attention for
almost a year. Apparently it is not
so popular as it used to be. Perhaps
there are not as many superstitious
folks as there were a few years back.
The truth of this scheme, as we
get it, is that the ﬁrst letter was
written to a friend as a joke by an
American army oﬂicer during the
Spanish—American war. If the friend
had considered it in the same light
it would never have gone further but
the friend took it seriously and wrote
nine letters to nine friends, the ﬁrst
letter calling for that number in-

‘stead of four, as requested above.-.

Since then it has been heard of in al—
most every country on the globe.
Anyone who is superstitious gener-
ally writesthe letters and sends them
on,rbut we have never heard of any
of them having good luck because of
it. Neither—have we known of any-
one having bad luck because they
threw the letter in the waste basket.

 

COMMISSION MERCHAN’JS MUST
ACCOUNT 0N BASIS OF SALES

RODUCE agents in'all instances
should account to shippers on
a basis of prices actually re-
ceived in good faith from third per-
sons, declares the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in response
to inquiries regarding this particu-
lar accounting feature under the
The Bureau
bases its position on the fact that the
Supreme Court of the United States.
as well as the state courts, have held I
that an agent to sell can not sell to
himself.

The point has been raised as to
whether an agent who is making
sales on track, charging therefor a
commission of, say 7 per cent, and
who takes part or the contents of-
the car to his own store for sale,
must account on the basis of the
price received through the store, or
may account on the basis of the
price received on track. Obviously,
under the policy outlined above, the
bureau says. the agent must make
his returns onthe basis of the price
received for sales through the" store
for the portion so sold, While return-
ing on the basis of track price for

the portion actually sold on track.

The bureau points ,out that this

 does not compel produce commission
merchants to handle produce through

their stores at 'l per cent, or what-
ever the .track sales commission may

1‘ E furnish baby dresses ready
cut with enough lace and
. thread to ﬁnish them up at
$1.00 each. We use nice lawn for
our dresses. After you ﬁnish them
up, we will pay you $2.50 each; that
means we will pay you $1.50 for the
work and $1.00 for the dress.

“We promise to accept every dress
from you, if they are made 11p to
our STANDARD. In case your work
is not acceptable, we will return the
dresses back to you. When you
make 12 dresses for us, we will re—
fund your money for the instruc-
tions.”

Whenever you see an advertise-
ment offering a proposition like this,
whether it is to sew baby dresses,
aprons, house dresses, or what not,
be on your guard. To the woman
who is valiantly trying to make a
much—too-small income cover the ne-
cessities of life for her family, this
seems like a golden opportunity to
earn a few dollars. It is nothing
of the kind.

Quite the contrary—the offer of
home work is merely a ruse used by
the various companies to sell their
material to you at a very high proﬁt.

VJho could not go into a store any-
where and buy enough white lawn
and lace to make a baby dress for
less than $1.00? $1.50 seems mighty
good pay for sewing up a couple of
seams, turning a hem or two, and
whipping on a few yards of lace,
doesn’t it? Yes, just about to good
to be true!

When you liaVe answered their ad,
sent in your “deposit” money, which
may run all the way from $1.00 to
$5.00, and received your yard or
two of material, a few buttons, and
some thread, the situation is usually
closed as far as the company is con-
cerned. But you labor for hours
over the garment, painstakingly try-
ing to make a perfect product that
will be acceptable to them. You
may have been a dressmaker for
years and your work may be fault-
lessly beautiful, but it means nothing
to the company. Back your sample
garment will come marked, “Unsatis-
factory” or “Not Up To Standard,"
until you become too discouraged to
try any more. What they want is
your money, not your services.

The same holds true likewise for
other work—at—home schemes, such as
hat-selling, ﬂower making, cardpaint-
ing and gilding. These companies all
; have something to sell. TIIF. BusiNsss

What To Eat

 

 

Right Food Habits.——-NOW I want to
give my testimony in favor of. training
children to eat what is set before them.
I was recently a guest in a home where
the children have been allowed to form
foolish dislikes for perfectly good foods.
At one meal the (laughter of the house
failed to ﬁnd anything she could eat, and
it was a very good meal. Not infrequent-
ly people have what seems to be an in-
born dislike for certain .foods. Sometimes
these can be overcome, sometimes not. I
cannot eat cheese of any kind in any

form, but I did try hard to overcome it.
It is especially desirable that children
should eat all kinds of fruits and/ vege-
tables, and, if they do not do so they will
eat far too much of meats, sugars, and
starches. I have many times heard it
said, “I do not like coarse breads. ' That,
too, is wrong. Graham and whole wheat
breads, properly made, are delicious and
should be a part of every family’s diet.
I enjoy "Our Department” very much, in-
deed—Mrs. F. L. S., Grand Traverse
County. ”
—Thank you for your letter, ~Mrs. F. L.
8.; it is very timely inasmuch as we have
just launched forth in the last issue on a
discussion of forming right food habits in
children.

bread, whole wheat, graham or corn bread
are less expensive and better food.) Fruit
——Cooked (apple, prunes, rhubarb,
peaches); or raw (orange or grapefruit).

Dinner: Soup—Made from meat or
vegetables, or both. May be thickened
with cereal or bread crumbs. Not more
than 0 'e small cup. Meat—Beef, mutton,
chicken, lamb, or white ﬁsh. Stew, boil,

A Wife’s Tribute to Her Husband

ERE is a letter that we especial-
ly recommend that husbands
read. In a very few words this

wife sets forth the reasons for her
happiness. Simple reasons they are,
too—nothing spectacular about them,
but.how important and fundamental
every one of them is! If more hus-
bands would only realize that it is
the little, every-day things that make
a wife happy the divorce courts
would have much less grist for their
mill.

“After being married eight years,
I am glad of this opportunity to ‘tell
the world’ that I do still love my
husband and I would marry him
again. Why? Because he is still in
love with me and often tells me of
it. He has proved true in most
things' that stand for my happiness;
he is always considerate of my wish-
es;.he is just as nice tome‘ aswto

other women; helps bare for our tWo ..

babies and is proud of them; he
doesn’t grouch when aiding in; odd

jobs; and he has not fallen into un-
tidy habits.

“Before we were married he spoke
a whole sermon in a few words when
he said, ‘If we ever quarrel, let’s
make up before we sleep,’ and there
have been few nights that he has not
closed my eyes with a kiss.

“He appreciates any special act of
kindness on my part; and still ex—
pects a kisS after shaving.

“We are not the ‘Honey’ and
‘Sweetie’ sort but we do hot think it
bad form to speak well of each other
in company.

‘the best man on earth’wfor me.—

every child wash his face and hands be-

for 15 minutes, much of the danger of
tuberculosis or other milk~borne diseases
will be avoided. Put the child to bed be-

Our Boys and Girls \

 

 

FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Uncle Nedzé-Well here I am
again. Yes, it‘s Eathel Fay Sharp to be
sure. 1 want to talk some boys and
girls about something that I hope will
stir up some comments.
subject of the modern ways of the world.

It takes two kinds of people to make
the world, males and females. Without
either sex the world would not travel very
far I am afraid. We truly knew that the
world moves- much faster today than it
did ﬁfty years ago. Look at the contrap-
tions we have to go in today: automobiles,
airplanes, submarines and .steamboats.
There is a way of goinggnost every way
one wishes to travel—in the air, on the
‘ground, and under the water as well as
earth, and we youths of today are being
brought up to see and learn all about
these things, thinking not as much of
them as our great—grandparents would a
fast going horse and buggy.

As to the habits of boys nowadays, I
think they are more noticeable, especially
drink. I think there is nothing like in-
toxication, not only the looks but the
harm it does. I know I am not the only
one talking about this manor, but folks,
what can we do to make boys that will
drink stop in some way? That’s what
I'd like to know. I know it isn’t because
their parents do not talk to them, but
they seem to think it lea credit when real-
ly it is a debt at uncertain cost. Some
times they. end up in jail. If. boys only
realized what jail meant I think they
would be more careful.

Smoking is another every day habit that
looks'sort of silly, if you are inclined to
think so and it is also injurious to the
body. Perhaps smoking effects the mind,
too.

‘ As for the girls, well I’m a girl but
not like some. Some girls in many re-
spects are as bad as the boys. You don’t
think so much of it to See a. girl smoking.
1 read in some paper where the "boy cut"
hair was going to be more stylish than
ever this year. I think that’s very silly
looking. I think it is bad enough to have
it bobbed. I suppose a lot of you are
calling me a regular old-faded wall ﬂow-l
er. No, I’m not that, I like to be sociable
and have friends, I enjoy a. show and oth-
er entertainment now and then, butI do
not. go to dances. It may be alright to
those that go, but some dances are un
for any human being to attend ,I think. ‘“

HERD TEST OPEN TO JERSEY
‘ BREEDERS ‘

HE increasing value of ‘ dairy

herd improvement association

" testing is causing national
breed assﬁciations to adopt the herd
test. Last October the Holstein,
Friesian ‘Association of America.
adopted such rules beginning the
testing work, January 1.

The American Jersey Cattle Club
announces a plan for the conduct of
a herd test to become effective, July
1. Brieﬂy, the object for the Jersey
improvement registry for the Jersey
cattle club is to obtain a record on
the entire herd for the purpose of
making deﬁnite herd improvement.
It is designed to give Jersey cattle
breeders a herd test that can be rec-
ognized by the American Jersey Cat-
tle Club as an official herd average
and published as such.

Provision is made for the furnish-
ing of a certiﬁcate by the club to the
owners of the herd upon complet-
ing a years record. All registered

 

 

HEAVY FLEECES

EAR EDITORz—We sheared

seven sheep. The ﬂeece of one

three year old ram weighed 30
pounds. A yearling sheared 20%
pounds. The seven ﬂeeces weighed
141 pounds. The sheep are a cross
between coarse and ﬁne wool, meas—
ured 20 inches in length—H. Has-
kins, Ionia County.

 

 

7

Jerseys in a herd that have ever
come in milk must be placed in the
test. Twelve test periods of twenty-
four hours each are prescribed. Not
more than forty milkings shall be
supervised in one day by the tester.
The tests of the cow tester in charge
of Michigan dairy herd improvement
associations will be accepted when
approved by the superintendent of
official testing.

It will be remembered that Jersey
breeders when assembled at their
last annual meeting during Farmers
Week at M. S. C. expressed their de-
sire for such a plan. It is thought
that many Michigan Jersey cattle
breeders now testing in dairy herd

~ improvement associations will take

advantage of the herd test so offered
by the American Jersey Cattle Club.

The cost for entering cows in the
Jersey Herd Test is small. A fee of
$5.00 per herd is charged when ap-
plication for permission to test is
made. In addition a fee of ten cents

.

per cow per month entered in the
test will be charged to cover extra
labor by the cow tester and, for
checking records at the oﬁice of
superintendent of, official testing.

Michigan Jersey breeders desiring
to apply for this herd test should
correspond with the Superintendent
of Official Testing, Dairy Depart-
ment, M. S. 0., East Lansing, Mich—
igan—A. C. Baltzer.

 

T. B. TESTING BEACHES PEAK
OF MORE THAN 1,000,000
ORE than 1,000,000 cattle were

given the tuberculin test dur-.
ing the month of March, ac-
cording to a summary of progress in
the eradication of tuberculosis of
livestock just issued by the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the United

States Department of Agriculture.

This is the largest number of cattle

given the tuberculin test in a single

month in the history of the campaign
against this disease. The exact

number of animals tested was 1,009,-

731 and out of this number 27,999

were found to be tuberculous. The

report contains cumulative results of
the testing work for the entire peri-
od of the eradication work by the
department extending over more than

10 years and is based on testing

operations conducted cooperatively

by Federal and State officials.

\. In spite of this extensive activity,

the demand for testing in most

States exceeds the present facilities.

By the end of March more than 31/2;

million cattle were still on the wait-

ing list.

The number of modiﬁed accredited
counties has reached the impressive
total of 447. This designation refers
to counties which have completed a
series of tuberculin tests of all the
cattle with the result that infection
did not exceed one-half of one per
cent.

The number of cattle in herds ac«
credited as free from tuberculosis
exceeds two million, and the total
number of cattle under supervision
for the eradication of the disease
now exceeds 20,500,000. The re—
sults of the campaign and particu-
larly the gradual decline in bovine
tuberculosis, as shown by a series of
surveys, have enlisted the active par--
ticipation of cattle owners in many
additional counties. Present indi-
cations point to the continued prog~
ress of tuberculosis eradication on a
large scale, of which the March re.
port is typical.

DEPRAVED APPETITE
Could you tell me what to feed
cows that chew wood, loose boards,
and gnaw on the manger?~—Reader,
Leelanau County.

r OUR cows chew wood because
they have a depraved appetite
caused by not having a balanced

ration; you can only get results by

feeding balanced ration and then
adding 5 pounds of bone meal to
each 100 pounds of it. You can make

a fair ration as follows: 300 pounds

of cornmeal, 200 pounds of ground

oats, 100 pounds of bran, 100 pounds
of middlings, 100 pounds of oil meal.

 

RICKETS

I have a litter of pigs all doing
Well except two of them have some-
thing wrong with their hind legs.
They can hardly get up on them and
their feet bend forward in the joint
just above the hoof. They don’t
seem to suffer with it, sat 'heartily,.
and doing well. Can get about fairly
well 'after they get up and move
around a while.‘ I have been feed-
ing them ground oats, barley and
corn and‘about two teaspoonfuls of
Doctor Seagers’ stock food once a
day and a dose of turpentine once a
week. Please tell me what to do.—
J. W. ~N., Mt. Morris, Mich.

OUR pigs have rickets; the only

'f ' 'thing you can do is to feedbone-

making feeds and see “you can
strengthen their bones. Get some

hn for one week. -~

tankage and mix 15 pounds of
steamed bone meal with it. Give
the pigs, all of them, 14 pound per
day in skimmilk or buttermilk slop
if you have it. If not, add some bran
and oilmeal to the slop. Do not
feed very much corn. Bones are too
weak to hold their weight.

 

TENDER SHOULDERS

I have a mare that has tender
shoulders and I would be very glad
to ﬁnd out something that I could
wash them with that would toughen
them. I used to know of some kind
of bark but didn’t write it down and
can’t recall it.—S. S., Decatur, Mich.

SUPPOSE that you are thinking of
oak bark; if so would suggest
that you get a saturated solution

of tannic acid in alcohol and paint
this over the shoulders once each day
for the ﬁrst several days that you
put this animal to work. This tannic
acid is the same thing that comes
from the oak bark.

GROWING/131m LATER CHICKS

FTEN poultry raisers ﬁnd it ad-

vantageous to grow a ﬂock of

chicks in late May or early
June. While it is agreed that the
earlier chicks are to be preferred,
Yet chick raising the past season has
been‘handicappe-d by cold weather
and changeable. In most localities,
it has been stormy, with late snows
and cold rains that have very much
out down the number of chicks put
out. The unfavorable weather has
caused heavy death in chicks, poor
growth, etc.

When you consider the prices that
poultry and eggs are bringing on the
market now, it looks like the year
1928 will be a good year to have a
nice brood of late chicks to dispose
of in the early fall. .

One advantage of late chicks is
that there is plenty of sunshine.
Sunshine is needed to get proper
growth and health in a ﬂock of
chicks. It is now known that sun-
shine furnishes what is called Vita—
mine “D” through its direct rays.
Early chicks require feeding cod
liver oil and special care in the way
of housing, brooder stove, etc., while
later chicks seem to be Nature’sfa-
vorites and grow off better, prbba-
bly due to the sunshine, the abun-
dance of fresh green feed, and the
natural warmth that can be given
the chicks hatched in late May and
early June. More hours out—of—doors
in fresh air and sunshine makes later
chicks especially to [be desired and
comparatively easy to raise.

On the other hand, where you have
late chicks you should bear in mind
that if the summer gets extra hot,
you should have shade and an abun-
dance of cool, fresh water.

It is never advisable to run two
ages of chicks together. The later
chicks will not do well at all if al-
lowed on the same range with older
ones

Your late chicks save you labor in
caring for brooder stoves as you can
allow the‘ chicks out on range more,
nor do you have to watch the heat
so carefully, and the danger of
crowding is less.

Practicallythe same feeding meth-
od, with less labor, will raise a ﬂock
of late chicks much cheaper than
the earlier'ones, provided you have
an abundance of green feed, range,’
etc.

Get your early chicks out on range
as soon as possible and put your
late chicks in the brooder house,
cleaning and disinfecting the houses
thoroughly.

It is _claimed by some that late
chicks will do better than earlier
ones if given the same amount of
care and attention, with a little ex-
tra attention, perhaps, to provide
shade, fresh water and clean ranges.

An advantage of late chicks is the
fact that baby chicks in late May
and early June are always lower in
price than the earlier chicks. The
hens seem to carry through their
vitality to reproduce good healthy,
husky chicks, just as Well later as
earlier in the year.———Reese V. Hicks.

      

 

PROVIDE DRAINAGE AROUND
' DRINKING FOUNTAIN
HE overﬂow from drinking foun-
tains provides an ideal place
for the spread of round worms
in the poultry ﬂock,’ unless proper
drainage is secured. Dig a hole in
the ground, about the size of a barrel,
and ﬁll it with large rocks. Place a
wire screen over it to prevent dirt
from being scratched over the rocks.
Let the drain drip on the rocks

 

GIVE FULL FEED IN LATE

AFTERNOON
OR egg production, give hens a
full feed late in the afternoon,
especially in cold weather. Give
them a light feed of grain in the
morning, only supplying what they
will clean up in half an heur.

‘  . Diarrhea

_, Mrs. Rhoades’letter will no doubt
be of utmost interest-to pouItry rais-
ers who have had serious losses from
White Diarrhea. We Will let Mrs.
Rhoades tellxit 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
experience. My ﬁrst incubator chicks
when but a few days old, began to

rhea. I tried different remedies and
was about discouraged with the
chicken business. Finally, I sent to
the Walker Remedy 00., Dept. 532,
Waterloo, 1a., for a $1.00 box of
their Walko White Diarrhea Rem—
edy. It’s just the only thing for
this terrible disease. '1 We raised 700
thrifty, healthy chicks and never lost
a single chickﬂafter the ﬁrst dose.”
-——Mrs. Ethel Rhoades, Shenandoah,
Iowa. ' 

Cause of White Diarrhea

White Diarrhea is caused by mi-
croscopic organisms which multiply
with great rapidity in the intestines
of diseased birds and enormoushaum—
bers are discharged with the drop-
pings. Readers are warned to be-
ware .of White Diarrhea. Don’t wait
until it kills half your chicks. Take
the “stitch in time that saves nine.”
Remember, 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 prqve it:

Never Lost a Single Chick

Mrs. L. L. Tam, Burnetts Creek,
Ind., writes: “I have lost my share
of chicks from White Diarrhea. Fi-
nally I sent for two packages of
Walko. I raised over 500 chicks and
I never lost single chick from
White Diarrhea. Walko not only
prevents White Diarrhea, but it gives
the chicks strength and vigor; they
develop quicker and feather earlier."

N ever‘Lost One After First Dose
Mrs. C. M. Bradshaw writes-: “I
used to lose/a at many chicks
from White Dia ea, tried many
remedies and was about discouraged.
As a last resort I sent to the Walker
Remedy 00., Dept. 532, Waterloo,
IoWa, for their Walko White Diar-
rhea Remedy. I used two 50c pack—
ages, 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 before.
I have found this company thoroughly reliable and

Most Other Leading Producti Holding Up wen ..

By Market News Service, Bureau 551 Agricultural Economics, U. 8. D-.A.’ '
(Special to "run Bv'smnss PARKER)

HARP declines in wheat and po-
tatoes gave the markets an un—
settled look, but the second half'

of May 'egan with most other lead-
ing products at least holding up fair-
ly well, although generally below the
highest prices of the season.

Compared with a year ago, nearly

the whole list ofstandard farm pro-
ducts is selling higher. Spring
wheat, even since the recent break.
is 15 cents above the level of late
May, 1927, winter wheat 25 cents,
oats 18 cents, corn 30 cents, cotton 6
cents, hogs 20 cents, steers $2, wool
15 cents, butter 2 cents, eggs 5 cents
and barrel apples 34 higher. But po-
tatoes bring only half as much,
onions and cabbage are much lower,
and some lines of poultry sell for a
little less money.
Grains

The recent high premiums paid for
soft winter wheat, particularly at St.
Louis, have been reduced sharply
as a result of accumulations of soft
wheat from the Paciﬁc Northwest at
that market. The rye market has
continued independently ﬁrm, re-
ﬂecting the small supplies of cash
grain available and the poor pros-
pects for this season’s crop. About
100,000 acres less rye remains for
grain this season compared with
last, while the condition on May 1,
was only 73.6 per cent or normal
compared with an average condition
of ‘88 per cent for the past ten years
on May 1.

Larger offerings of corn brought
out by the recent high prices, to-
gether with more favorable weather
in the Corn Belt, which enabled
farmers to make good progress with
their planting operations brought
about a decline of 3 to 5 cents per
bushel in mid—May corn prices at the
principal markets. Oats held ﬁrm,
with prices practically unchanged.
Barley was one to two cents higher
than a week ago at the principal
markets as a. result of continued
good demand for the light offerings.

Feeds

While the demand was active for
the limited offerings of mill feeds for
immediate shipment, inquiry for
later delivery was dull and manufac-
turers and jobbers were inclined to
reduce prices to effect sales. Bran
for June shipment was being quoted
about $3 per ton under current
prices in the southwestern markets,
while new crop bran for July, Au-
gust, and September shipment was
selling at Kansas City at $7 per ton

u_ r spot ¥ices._
“W totto e meal continued its up—

ward trend with oilerings limited.
Corn feeds held steady, with prices
showing very little change for the
week. A good demand prevailed for
alfalfa meal, which was in light
supply.
Hay

Hay markets have shown a strong—
er tendency in May, with receipts
smaller and demand active. The
condition of the new crop, however,
is considerably below average and
was reported at 76.1 per cent of
normal compared with 85.9 the ﬁve—
year average. Alfalfa markets were
steady, with offerings of old crop
hay becoming scarce and the new
crop not yet moving in volume.
Prairie hay cutting was becoming
general in Texas, but none of this
hay was yet appearing on the mar-
kets. ‘

Cattle

Heavy steers have been offered
rather freely, particularly from feed-
ing areas west of the Missouri River,
with Nebraska the largest contribu-
tor, while demand for such cattle in
a broad sense is of a specialty char-
acter and lacks the dependability
shown in the current trade on year—
lings and mediumweight. About
the middle of the month, weighty
,_steers again reached a 515 ton at
'Chicago, the highest since early. The

 

0* ._ eﬂect of, a backward, spring is still _ ‘

"apparent in the,stocker‘.and feeder
pitta-dc, but supplies are limited and

 

 

any pronounced swell in the demand
would boost prices. ’

Hogs

Strictly choice 150 to lilo-pound

hogs were selling in Chicago the
middle of May at 50 to 75 cents dis-
count trom medium weight butchers
of corresponding grade and . lower
grade kinds were discounted as much
as $1.50 to. $2. Numerous loads
showed evidence of grass feed and
the price range for each respective
weight tended to widen on a quality
baﬁ. '

Sheep

Seasonal expansion in the market-
ward movement of new crop lambs
offset decreases in the mid—May run
of ted lambs and the market at Chi-
cago closed 15 to 25 cents lower
than a week earlier. ,An increased
movement of grass sheep from Texas
and the southeast caused a draggy
matured sheep market, with prices
at the close about 25 cents lower
than a week earlier and $1 to $1.50

' ' , Poultry

The poultry market is about
steady, although with some price ir-
regularities iu the. fowl market.
There seems to be general conﬁdence
in the situation as shown by fair

average

‘ regular demand. Cold storage hold-

ings May 1 were 50,788,000 pounds,
which is about 11,102,000 pounds

less than the preceding ﬁve—year
average. ‘ _ ~ \
Woes -
Potatoes lost further "ground;

prices were low. New—crop potato
shipments are now about 300 
daily, two—thirds of them from Flor-
ida. The combined early potato
crop in 9 States, outside of Florida
and the. lower valley of, Texas, is
forecast at 26,610,000 bushels, or
about 1,200,000 more than in 1027.

The Chicago carlot' market declined.

Whites and Idaho Russet Burbanks
werebringiug $1.30 to $1.50 in that

MARKET REPORTS BY RADIO DAILY ’ *7
HE Michigan Business Farmer- was ﬁrst. to‘broadcast farm mark

reports in Michigan (January 4, 1926).
news are now available'as follows:

lower than the recent high time.
Spring lambs running less desirable
in quality and ,ﬁnish than a year
ago, sold largely from $16.25 to
$18.50. Most shorn lambs sold
from $15.75 to $16.50 and a limit-
ed supply of wooled fed lambs large—
ly from $17.50 to $18. Most iat
shorn ewes turned at $8 to $9.
, Wool

Trading in ﬂeeced wools continued
very light, because of the scarcity of
supplies. Nevada, Utah, Colorado,
Arizona and occasional lots of New
Mexico wools comprised the bulk of
the new territory wools offered.

Butter

Following the declines and irreg-
ularities in tone, which have recent-
ly characterized the recent butter
market, there has been sdme return
of conﬁdence in the butter situation.
although production is likely to in-
crease soon, even in a late season.

issue and some of the trade thinks
this should be about the top. In

fact, predictions are that there will

be declines in the near infure. At
this writing the market is dull with
liberal offerings and sales limited.

 
   

~‘

Farmers should watch out about '

increasing their beau acreage much
this year because it we have} good
tall there will be more beans than
the world will know what to do
with. The result will be prices will
seek extremely low levels—and
heaven knows the farmers have had
enough of them during recent years.
Beetsought to be a good crop to
plant your extra acreage to.

The market is stronger for wool .
f/cverywhere.

Buying in the ‘west
prbceeds steadily and most, or the

far western states are practically

cleared of the new clip, while in the
bright wool states the new clip
movement is proceeding more or less
steadily. .In the east the market is
slightly dearer, ,though still below
the parity] of western prices, with
the demand somewhat spotty.
Foreign markets are all ﬁrm and

lining up with the stronger tendency “

in London, where prices on almost
all descriptions are now back to
\parity with closing rates of the pre-
vious series.

The manufacturing position is
still somewhat diﬂicult, but slowly
prices on various lines of goods are
being advanced and the outlook is
;more promising than for some time.

Mohair is still rather quiet. The
new Cape clip of. adult hair moves
steadily, with America buying more
or less freely. r ‘

TORMY weather conditions will‘
 open the week of May 27th in
. “f 111080.130?“ of Michigan..
will be heavy local rains,
winds, thunder storms and even local

tornadoes probable.

_ During the early part of the week
'temperatures .will be warm but
along towards the middle there will _
be a sharp change to much cooler.
In fact, the drop will be sufficient to
-produce frosts in many ot‘the north-
ern counties. This cold to' cool
weather will last until close to the

end of this week.

The ﬁrst days of June will be gen-

erally fair and cool.
Week of June 8

The fair weather of last week will
run over into the very beginning 0'!
this week with the temperature con—
tinuing to range below the seasonal

nonmal.

As a result of increasing stormi-
ness expected during the' middle days
of this week the temperatures will
rise. The storms at this time will
result in numerous local manifes-
tations of strong winds and heavy

rains.

The closing days of this week will
result in much cooler weather and
more pleasant skies and sunshine.

June Weather

The fact there will be numerous
extremes of the weather in most
parts of Michigan during the month
of June makes it difficult to summar-
ize the month as a whole.
chances are that temperatures for
the month as a whole will average
slightly below the seasonal average.
The rainfall will be about the normal
amount but heavier during “the lat-
ter half of the month. There will
be numerous summer type of storms
with electrical and wind character-

istics.

lar and cuﬁ‘ edges, work or play-
clothes.

crush rolls—safety for buttons and
delicate garments. Automatic Feed
Board, automatic tension adjust-
ment, self-reversing drain board, in-

THE farm woman’s right
to labor-saving equip-

ment is not questioned
seriously anymore.

How can the husband refuse
you power for the family \Wash-
ing, the week’s hardest task, v
when hepumpshis water, grinds
_his axe, chops his feed, and does
a large part of his ﬁeld work
with pOwer? He knows that it
pays to give power equipment
even to farm‘ hands—why not
the wife?

The Maytag does an average
farm washing in anhour or so-‘-
changes washday to wash-hour.
It washes sbgfchoroughly that nO'

, hand-rubbing is necessary on
grimy overalls, on the stubborn I
edge-dirt of collars and cuffs—-—‘:
yet itwashes the daintiest clothes
hand-carefully.

It saves your time, your health
and the clothes. Your husband V
will appreciate that.

Tell Him about the Wonderful
Maytag Gasoline Multi-Motor

Farmers are getting to know engines as
well as they know horses, and the Maytag
gasoline multi-motor is an engine that will
delight anyone. For ten years Maytag has
built this engine to equip its washer for
farm homes that have no electric power.

It has been continually improved with the
progress of engineering knowledge. It gives
the same steady, even, dependable ﬂow of
power as an electric motor and requires
about the same room. The same four bolts
that connect the electric motor to the
Maytag, connect the Multi-Motor.

It is in-built—a part of the washer—no
belts to line up—nothing that the woman
cannot manage herself.

FREE

Engine and starter are combined in one
unit, directly connected to the crankshaft.
Step on the pedal and away it goes. The
modern carburetor has only one adjust-
ment and its novel‘ arrangement prevents
ﬂooding. . "

The Multi-Motor is air-cooled, and hagwgg
Bosch high-tension magneto and speed gov-if "
ernor. A11 bearings are generous in size and ,

high-grade bronze, oil-grooved bearingsjare;  ‘

used throughout, assuring little friction loss
and long life: V, “ .
So popular is the Multi¢Motor Maytag
for farm homes that the Maytag Company
has become the'world’s largest producer'of
single cylinder» gasoline engines. Only the
Maytag has it. . .

Trial for a Whole
Week’s Washing

Pay no money until you wash with the Maytag in your own home. Write or tele-

phone any Maytag dealer, and gladly,

without cost or obligation, he will send you a

Maytag, powered either with electricity or gasoline. Wash with it—give it a rigid. testa

If it doesn’t sell itself, don’t keep it.
