i Right here at home we have alwavs been proud of our village fire depar t ­ment, and now it has received the tin qualified endorsement of ttie rcpreseti tative of the fire insurance c o m p a n i e s Mr. Howard J. Kllis.

After inspecting the San i t a r ium whic'i was burned recently, Mr. H o w a r d Klli-< remarked, "Von must have a lin/ lire depa r tmen t here to save .so much of the building after the fire Jiad ob­tained such grea t headway ."

As the building w;is only par t ia l ly insured the work of the fire depa r t ­ment reduces the loss of the J)rs. Sip: • ler much more than would have been

fie again pressed her haad, turn ing to go. To the distressed young wife this brave man of affairs seem­ed truly a friend in need. She had no hesitancy in accepting his kind offer. After his departure, the darkness, the stillness, the oppres­sion of unknown things doubled their intensity. Despite her loneli­ness Rachel went back to her duties wtth a lighter heart. With Forbes out of the way there coald be nothing more to fear.

The wind rose in boisterous growls as the evening advanced. Now and again great drops of water dashed against the windows. The air be­came suddenly cooled so that Ra-

"Now, sis, advised the boy, what. ever you do, keep a stiff upper lip and never say die. By the way, what time shall I come for you, girlie?"

"No time, Jack," ihe explained "Mr. Woodrow will drive over after me."

'So that's arranged, eh?" The lad's eyes twinkled. 'Well, old Tom is mighty accommodating. I should insist on coming myself only I hate to leave the mill. I might lo3e my job, which—"

"Not for the world, Jack," she protested. "I shall get on all right with Mr. Woodrow.'

'Sure you will. It was awful cheJ had recourse to a fire. She got good of him to step in as he did and out her bible and sought comforting settle old Forbes hash. That scoun-passages from its pages. Not that drel deserves to be shot." she was in any sensa a deeply re- Jack went out and swung down ligious woman. She had never felt I the road, whistling ankee Doodle in the necessity of joining any church organization although she held cer­tain decided views which were a prominent impress of her character. She firmly believed in an overruling providence yet did not acknowledge the church-made God of her fathers. Sometimes she prayed—not the loud prayer of the self righteous, but the silent inner acknowledgement of a superior power to which she looked for help and guidance in her hours of trouble.

Once the Logtown pastor had said

a merry mood. The moment he was beyond sight of Rachel his mood changed. A cloud touched his face, while his whole mien bordered on the dejected. He had much to trouble him of which his sister knew nothing. There was Evelyn for in­stance—she and that beastly Canuck captain! The lattea1 was far too much in evidence to please the boy.

to town, Rachel lifted hoc head, drawing her veil more closely. She had no desire te be seen and re­marked about by unsympathetic peo­ple. Bending toward his companion Woodrow asked:

'Shall you go first to a hotel to rest and prepare for this meeting?"

"Surely not. Take me direct to the camp."

The marshal wheeled down a side street, making off toward the high ground on which Camp Wilcox was located. They met tew people, Ra­chel sat a marble imagej scarcely breathing. Presently the long stock-age came to view with a sentry be­fore the entrance who halted the outfit. A nearby group of officers were consulting. An air of unrest seemed hovering over the place.

"We are here to see one of the men," said Woodrow.

The sentry scanned the marshal's companion keenly. Women came sometimes to camp, bat none like this one, so fair and apparently frail. A sweetheart of course thought the guard.

"Have you a pass?" * Oh that's all right," cried Wood-

row. "I am provost marshal and have free entry here at all times. Here comes Captain Ranger; he will understand."

The speaker had approached the guard. Rachel still sat as Captain Rolfe Ranger came near. The mar­shal saluted respectfully. The Ca­nuck captain seemed to suddenly congeal when he saw who was the occupant of the carriage.

"We are here to speak with Mr Clang," said Woodrow. "His wife—"

''Ahem. Most unfortunate, broke in the captain. "Didn't you come

"By George!" sighing deeply, "if jthrough town, Tom? Ev goes back on me 111 never put my faith in a girl again." This was a real trouble, a personal one at

To fly to the cape from the pen. The boy had Almighty when deadly peris' men­aced only to forget Him when all danger was past and peaceful hours

^ a d come, was a shame in the sight of heaven. To this opinion Rachel did not subscribe. If God was like unto a father who pitieth His chil­dren why should mortal man be for­ever badgering Him with petitions for this and that? An earthly pa­rent would certainly frown upon such a child. When, however, the time of danger came how natural nnd right it was for the child to fly to fathei/ tor protection). All of which was respectfully submitted to her own soul giving abundant sat­isfaction.

The storm soon fell in awful fury. The wind twisted off trees, tore ghastly swaths in the forest, wreck­ing many pioneer homes. Fortunately for Rachel the couise of the tornado went aside from her log house sim­ply tearing down the stable and fell­ing trees all about, obstructing roads and endangering lifd.

The dawn of Sunday revealed a wide stretch of desolation. Jack came over, fearing calamity to his sister. He reported the roads badly encumbered with fallen trees. The storm had swept by in a single night and the next day was one of sun­shine and peaceful quiet. Axes were

this last in mind the next morning at the mill when a man came to him and asked:

"Heard the news, Jack?" "No. What is it, Sam?" "A dozen conscripts escaped from

the pen up to town last night and one of 'em shot the guard dead! There's big excitement I tell you!"

CHAPTER XVII A Wife's Despair

Marshal Woodrow was at the home of the Clangs bright and early Monday morning. He was more than ever interested in pleasing Rachel. Had he refused to interest himself in behalf of her husband a bad im­pression would have been left on the |try. "or me, I "say better line up the

wYl0\B caboodle and shoot 'em first going off. 'Twould serve 'em right They're always in a broil; won't

"No—" "Then you have not heard?" 'Heard what?" demanded Wood-

row brusquely. "I am sure-—" "About the emute last night?" "Have heard nothing I assure you

captain." 'Come this way, please,' The officer plucked at the other's

sleeve, leading him aside. "Now what in nature does all this

mysterious mouthing and scowling mean, Captain Ranger?" demanded Woodrow with manifest impatience. The sentry stood before the team )ready to prevent their! making a dash in case of a fright. Rachel clutched the reins, turning her head to watch the two men.

"What is i t?" she inquired of the sentry, her heart going at increased speed. There was portent in the air of something wrong.

"It 's just a little outbreak among the d— conscripts," grunted the sen

woman's mind. To conciliate her in every possible way had been his aim.

Rachel was ready and waiting for her promised escort. This morning she would see Thornton once more. The words she would utter on greet­ing him had been conned a hundred times; even in her sleep she had talked and wept with the man of her heart's choice. It was so good of Woodrow, stern official of the gov­ernment that he was, to interest him­self in her behalf. His long and dis­interested friendship was counting to some purpose.

No washing today for the con-heard ringing on the road leading script's wife. Monday had been to Logtown. Men were out in force with the Perkins family the heredi-Jaca said clearing a road. jtary tub day. Rain or shine the

Jack's talk with Indian Pete wor­ried the boy. He understood the In­dira character well enough to know that one of that race seldom gave over his plotting mischief because of the remonstrance even of his friends,

"Why, no, of course he wouldn't," Rachel's indignant negative.

"I trust I haven't kept you wait-ing," said he with a quick low laugh.

"Not long," she returned, her heart swelling. He sprang down and assisted her to a seat, placing Thornton, Jr., in her arms. They were soon whirled down the forest

' road behind r spanking pair of bay.i The boy was good as usual and found an affectionate welcome at the home

"I am glad to hear you say that, j of the friendly neighbor heretofore for I fear some of the fellows outside might try to aid him in something of that sort—Indian Pete for one."

"What set vou thinkfng Hke that, Jack?"

The boy explained. Rachel ap­peared vexed, yet not uneasy.

"I'd life! to see my husband ac-

Would fee? thought the boy Was the honor of a "draft sneak" so jgreat that sW would hesitate about the means used to effect his escape? The boy did not have the sublime faith in the honor of Thornton Clang that had his sister.

' 1 cah hire a rig and come for you, Raefeta," he said when about to de­part "The storm passed you by in a toeky manner which gives me hope far better times in the future when 0aW cmel war is over. I most kiss tfcal tfttla conscript good-by and then JuMtft hack to work."

fore his departure which the man at her si<k hoped would be their last on earth He noted the thinning cheek, deepening pallor and tint of blue veins at the temples and real ised that Rachel had suffered far more than she would acknowledge.

A man who- would treat a woman aa had Clang was nast for her mate. This was the paramount thought in Woodrow1* brain. It was lucky for all concerned that the hand of a strong government had been laid at last on the recreant husband It was not likely that he would ever return. Rachel was destined soon to be t widow in fact as well as in name These thoughts served to do te the marshal's lips to that ride was most­ly a silent one. Across the bridge at Logtown, Up the torn toward Wingdam sped the carriage and oc­cupants. Presently the long grade leading int* the ctty was reached. The air, which had been raw at tht

"He did not know. He saw the color fade from his auditor's cheek and then a wild suspicion clutched his brain.

"By grout," he apologized, "I hope none o' youm's among 'em, lady.'

'Tell me what has happened,' she demanded in an awed voice.

"Why, it's this way; there was an outbreak last night among them devils in the pen. Half a dozen made a break. They shot an' killed Corporal Downs ;*nd cot c\vnn away. Tht city'n' country's be in. ?coured for 'em. - It'll go hard with ;the scamps if they're caught Corp'ral Tim Downs was a mighty erood foller. and his comrades'll make short work of old Clang if they git hands onto him."

"Clang did you say? Was he—" "He was the ringleader, mum.

'Twas him that shot an' killed poor Tim!"

A low moan from the carriage at­tracted Woodrow, who sprang thither to find M n | Clang fallen back in a dead faint

When the woman again opened her eyes she found herself lying on a broad lounge in the parlor of Wingdam's best hotel whither the marshal had hastily conveyed her. A strange face bent above her.

'There, my dear, you are bettei now," paid the physician. "Don't worry; you are worth ten dead women y e t "

Was she? The thought and query flashed! like lightning through her brain. Misery and death! The lat­ter must soon come. She did not care to live—Thornton a fugitive from justice, a murderer now as well as a deserter! The shame of it was too much for one fond hear t Ra­chel closed her eyes and fell into an­other swoon. All the remainder of that awful day she was in the hands of the doctor. He even wondered if it would not be better to let her die.. That would be nature's way to heal the wounds inflicted by a rec­reant husband. However much the poor woman craved oblivion that poor boon was denied her. She came fully to her senses in the afternoon and smiled Into the face of Jack.

"Coming out all right aren't 'you, sis?" cried the boy whose face was the picture of deepest anxiety.

"Yes, Jack, I am better. Take me home won't you?" feebly articulated the young wife, bar whole frame •haken with emotion. T U do it, ait," assured the boy,

"just aa toon aa yon can ride." " I tan ride now, Jack." Rachel pipped her feet to the

floor and stood upright She felt weak and dizzy, yet tried not to show i t Jack supported her to the win­dow, brom me street a blare of mu­sic swept upward as a company of soldiers parsed. The street w&i lined with spectators, cheers and shouts ruui g along the line of march The conscript's wife shuddered, cov­ering her face with both hands. She fell to weeping bitterly. The music and the marching men brought it all back—Thornton f acknowledgement of his duty and his consent to serve the flag. Now all that was changed

Jack held fast to his sister's trim waist and let her sob out her misery He knew she would feel better after­ward. With the last faint blare of the music Rachel lifted her head and faced the situation.

"I am ready to go now, Jack," she said simply.

The boy kiBsed her pale cheek and led her back to the couch.

'Don' t cry any more Rachie," said he as he paused on going ou t "1 shan't be long gone. There may be some mistake anyhow. Blame it all I can't see—" He checked himself suddenly and slipped away.

Twenty minutes later the boy and his sister were on the sandy road going in the direction of Logtown. What a sad day it had been. Jack had dropped his work the moment he heard the news of the outbreak among the conscripts. He was glad it had not developed upon him to break the news of Thornton Clag's latest villainy to his wife. The boy was justly indignant as well as grieved over this last and worst act of criminality on the part of his brother-in-law. It was barely pos­sible that there had been a mistake

!in pa r t However, if Thornton had jnot fired the fatal shot, he had brok­en away from camp, and was that

• despicable thing a deserter! All the old feeling of shame and

anger was with the boy again. He bad never quite forgiven Thornton for his treason to the old flag—this last alienated the last drop of broth­erly feeling. Never again could the boy bring himself to think of this man with an atom of respect.

The ride was a silent one. Neith­er occupant of the buckboard was in a mood for conversation. Jack plied the whip vigorously at times and the swift flight of the vehicle threatened a catastrophe. Rachel did not mind this. She would have welcomed death against a tree or roadside stone, such was her bitter hopeless­ness during the first hours of her great sorrow

Jack felt hopeful of one thing. This last act ofj Clang's placed

him beyond the pale of forgiveness. He could never again come into the life of the woman he had so bitterly wronged. Doubtless it were better so. Jack resolved to stand by Ra­chel, to comfort and protect her through all the coming years, and when Evelyn Burridge came to share his home his sister should be wel­come there as long as her life lasted.

All of this was in the boy's mind. At Jack's age we dream dreams and build gilded castles. Nothing of the future held happiness for the boy without the lumberman's daughter had a part in it.

"I shall stop with you tonight," said Jack as they neared the home on Hemlock Run.

"You may lose your job at the mill if you do, Jack," sighed Rachel.

"Lose it is then," was his quick rejoinder.

She did not remonstrate. It would be a long time she imagined before she should care what happened to her or to any of her friends. The bolt had fallen, the last great shock that meant annihilation to nil her earthly hopes. What happened after this day was as nought.

Jack stabled the animals in the ruined shed, then went in to Rachel. Very little conversation passed be­tween brother and sister. Jack got the supper, whistling cheerily mean­time. The sorrows of youth si* light­ly. Jack did not underrate Rachel's grief, yet he was not ready to com­miserate with her over the disgrace­ful act of a man like Thornton Clang who. Jack believed, was never half good enough for Rachel Perkins.

And Rachel? The reader can wel. imagine her feelings. While Thorn ton was a free man, although Hiding from the provost marshal, she diH rot quite despair. He had been so good to her. Ah! there was the rub. Thornton Clang had been an ideal husband till this wicked draft came to disturb the serenity of his lif*. Every night he -sainted his wife or. his return from work with a kiss; it was the same at parting in the morn­ing. After small Thornton came 'he husband had a double duty to per­form. He did not stint his marks of affection although they were thereafter divided. They were get­ting on, too. Thornton's salary had been raited and there was a half promise of a partnership in the htm* bar business in the near future Then came the crash. A narrow strip of white paper bearing a name drawn from a hat changed every-thing!

WEEK OF MAY 11 For the week beginning May 11 we

believe the state of Michigan will ex­perience regulation summer weather —mostly pleasant but with scattered showers and thunder storms. Gener­ally pleasant weather may be expect­ed during first half of week, with pos­sible exception of Monday, about which time there may be a reaction to wind and rain.

The threatening weather of first part of week wUl soon disappear. Temperatures will begin to mount higher, reaching a temporary climax around Thursday. There will also be reports from other parts of the coun­try telling of high temperature marks for this tima of year.

There win be but little rain of a general character during last half of this week due to the general atmos­pheric conditions and moderately high barometer for the time. Local thunder storms and showers are prob­able around Thursday and Friday, but aside from this we are not ex­pecting much stormine8s for the week as a whole in Michigan.

Temperatures will continue steady to rising during most all the week and until about the middle part of next week. After this period the tem­perature tide will change and with one exception, near the end of the month, temperatures will show a fall­ing tendency until early part of June. Temperatures during June will be variable.

True to our March forecast for Michigan in January, the state expe­rienced precipitation below the nor­mal. After the middle of the month the sunshine melted a great deal of that in southern half of state, leaving ground bare and subject to alternate thrawing and freezing. Just as we warned, however, the early break-up was followed by a return engagement of King Winter during the opening days of April.

The big drop in cotton prices dur­ing the latter part of March and our February prediction of rainy weath­er over western southern states dur­ing March may seem a far cry to those not initiated. However, it was the wet weather which delayed cot­ton planting operations considerably beyond the seasonal period. This was

one of the things to make the price bullish, but just as soon as a few good days came along, the bottom dropped out

These forecasts can be used for getting general run of prices for any growing crop, as the weather has much to do with supply and demand. We must again caution the reader*, however, that stamps must be en­closed in their letters, as questions not of general interest cannot be pab-lished.

-o-Who U the Infr inger?

In the Canadian West small busi­ness men often try to end prestige to their establishments by affixing to their firm names the initials of one of the big railways. One often sees such signs as "C. P. R. Tobacco Store," "G. T. P. Poolroom," "C. N. R. Boarding House/ etc. The Cana­dian Pacific recently took official no­tice of these acts of piracy, and aent out notification that the unauthor­ized use of the railways name was illegal.

Motherhood and Child's Welfare

CONDUCTED BY

U. S. Children's Bureau Washington, D. C.

The C h i l d r W i Bureau is glad to answer requests for information on welfare of children. A list of the bureau'* publications on this subject will be sent to any reader »<!• dressing the Chief of Children's Bureau, U. S. Depart­ment of Labor, Washington, D. C>

T H E "BAD" BOY OR GIRL Newspapers are filled with ac­

counts of crimes, of the search for criminals, of long-drawn-out, expen­sive trials. Do readers of these ac­counts ever stop to wonder how crim­inal careers begin or whether they •light be prevented?

What of the boy or girl arrested for the first time? Is. he thoroughly " b a d ? " Must he become the crim­inal of tomorrow? A few years ago the answer to these questions might have been yes. Today the juvenile court movement is witness Jto so­ciety's belief that the child delinquent may be saved.

Instead of labeling the boy or girl before the court as bad and then meting out his punishment, the juve­nile-court judge a t tempts to find out why the child is bad and then remove the cause. For instance, tests indi­cate that a large proportion of the children brought before juvenile courts are mentally defective. Such children need special care and t ra in­ing either in an institution or in spe­cial classes of the public schools. They are influenced easily for good or for bad; the community ought, for i ts own sake and for the sake of the child, to see that the influence is good.

In other cases the reasons for de­linquency are to be found in the home background of the child. Forty per cent of ten thousand children in seven juvenile courts were found by the Children's Bureau to come from broken homes, in which death, deser­tion, divorce or separation of the par­ents had disrupted the family. The children were the sufferers. Unhap­py, neglected, perhaps suffering ac­tual privation, they drifted perilously near the borderline of crime. For many of these children " mothers ' pensions," enabling the mother to keep her home intact in spite of the absence of the natural breadwinner, might be the ounce of prevention that would save pounds of misery and social waste.

Lack of understanding and sym­pathy at home may explain the stub­born child who feels himself alone in the world and, like a little pirate craft , defies the s tandards of the group. Errat ic and inconsistent

t rea tment at home, based on the whim and caprice of father or mother is reflected in the sullen and unruly child who neither understands disci­pline nor respects law. The untruth­ful child may be imitating the morals he has observed practiced, rather than those he hears preached. The child who steals may do so because hia paren ts have low standards, be­cause of a love of adventure, because his " g a n g " does BO, or perhaps be­cause he is hungry or cold. The tru­ant may be the victim of bad ad­justment at school. In all these cases the task of the juvenile court is to study the family, home, and school, to help parents and teachers to understand the child, and to provide a safe outlet for the energies which have flowed through destructive channels. Love of adventure, to take one example, may be harnessed to give us the explorer, the inventor, the pioneer, instead of the thief or the wanderer. The gang spirit may, if properly directed, give us boy and girl scouts; baseball games may use constructively the energy which threatens to tear down; a sympa­thetic "big brother" or big sister may melt the stubborn heart of the child to whom the world has seemed full of enemies and injustice.

To make our juvenile courts serve their end—which is saving, not pun­ishing, the child—the community must see tha t the court has enough money to provide experienced and sympathetic probation officers and social workers; tha t there is a good clinic connected with the court where the child's physical and mental de­fects may be studied and remedied; with the child informally and indi-that the law permits the judge to deal patrol wagon, the formal atmosphere vidually. The policeman's club, the of the adult court, have no place in dealing with children. The delin­quent child is a sick child. The bus­iness of the children's court is to see that he is made well, morally, socially and perhaps even physically. Wis­dom, patience and loce are the weapons which must replace the big stick.

Two questions for you and your community: Have we a juvenile court? Is it properly equipped to save children?

Nora Schlappi.

Uncle Ernest feels proud of the members of the Scribe club and the manuscript they are sending in wfeek after week. They have heeded the :all, to be original, and we note they are sending in original mat ter , com­posed by themselves.

Riddles seem to lead from our boys and girls and somo very good ones have been sent in, and yet there is opportunity for many more.

Nature riddles are interesting and are not difficult to make because of the poetical names of flowers and trees.

Some nature riddles: What is the saddest tree? Answer

—The weeping willow. What flower is a bird in a shabby

dress? Answer—The ragged robin. My first is an animal, my second is

a tree, and my whole a sign of spring. Who a m i ? Answer—PUssy willow.

My first is made of precious metal, my second spoils a child when it is spared, and my whole is an autumn flower. Who am I? Answer—Golden rod.

What riddles can you make on: Snow-ball, butter-cup, jack-in-the-pulpit, t iger lily, four-o'clock, milk­weed, cowslip, bachelor's button, bleeding hearts , and sweet William?

Another riddle that is good fun is the descriptive riddle. Describe some­thing that is in your house or yard, or something that you wear or use, and let your playmates guess what it is.

Here arc two descriptive riddles: I am in this house. I change fre­

quently in size, I am dressed often and always in new dresses. Indeed, [ never wear the same gown more than throe or four times. I always itand up but I am never tired. You :ould stick a pin in me but I wouldn't cry out. Who am I? Answer— Mother's dress-form.

Wo hope the boys and girls will continue sending in their stories, rid­dles, etc., and Uncle Ernest invites them and it has been decided to give a weekly prize for the best letter, then from time to time we will make special prizes for special features.

Send letters to Uncle Ernest , 58 Market avenue, S. W., Grand Rapids, Mich.

The Future of the Ayrshire in America

By C. L. Barli&gham

The Ayrshire is equipped for profit making. She makes a maxi­mum return for the feed she con­sumes and her quality product is marketable at top prices. These two characteristic*, economy of produc­tion and a four per cent milk fa­vored in any market, guarantee the breed a continued and increased popularity on the American dairy farm.

These are new days agriculturally.

Marquart entered his modest farm herd of Ayrshires m the Northeast Dod^c- County Cow Testing Associa­tion. He fed and cared for them in J. way which is not beyond easy pos­sibility on any Michigan farm and •v.-jnth by month throughout the year harried why his herd had for years 'n»n netting him goodly profits. His were the only Ayrshires in the Asso­ciation arid their average return for thj year of 9,520 pounds of milk,

Dr. Larson re-most economical producer of the p led , "No good at all; but practical-highest quality of milk." So great u ly all the information that the farmer the demand for this product by has now is baaed on these very invea-dairies in the whole milk district and tigations." so many Ayrshires have been pur- i £>r Larson then offered two very jhased by these dairies tha t the elementary examples of scientific in-icarcest dairy animal in the country vestigation which led to practical ap-

"'.'il*-H-.->. Si^^''!:-Reuben Marquart, "Chief Dairy m m , " takes a hand in Ayrshire af­fairs on the farm. He keeps a n :ra hold on the source of the four per cent milk which s ires htm his sturdiness and his "1 am pleased with the world" smile. Celt* Pender, on the other end of the rope, made 7,367 pounds of milk, 324.2 pounds of fat, and had two daugh­ters, the leader of the herd, and C d;n Pender McAlister, whose pro­duction for the year was 10,467 pounds milk, 453.8 fat.

Farmers are interested in economics —they have learned that it is the net re turn which counts and tha t in such times as these the old careless, happy-go-lucky system does not yield profits. That is the reason for the great demand for the dairy cow-where grain farming has previously been.followed and in the older, well-

433.15 pounds of fat, exceeded that of any other herd. But this was of less importance to Mr. Marquart than the economy with which they made this production—that was what measured his profit. When the supervisor's figures for the year were complete ih-y showed that for each $1.00 worth of feed consumed these Ayr-

established dairy districts this neces­sity for economical practices is lead­ing to the culling of herds to elimin­ate the- wasters and select the cows which give the best accounting i'or their food. It leoda to the keeping of records.

Record keeping helps the Ayrshire. She has no fear of not making good when bcr owner knows the facts. De­veloped in Scotland where frugality and hardiness were prime requisite; and owned thus far in this country chiefly in New England and New York where rations are not too lib­era*, and where economy of production is of great importance, the breed has been selected for many generations for the very qualities needed to best fill the present and future require­ments of the American dairy farm.

No deductions i re made in any market because Ayr­shire milk falls short in fat. On the jther hand, it is produced in large .>nough quantit ies that the breed .•ompares favorably with any other A-here whole milk is sold to conden-series and cheese factories. In cream-iry districts the cream from Ayr­shire milk brings as great re turns as with any other breed and the other lualities of the Red and Whites give hem favor with creamery patrons hroughoui the country.

Some of these qualities important n cb'.osing a breed and in guuging a jreed's future, al ter the ability to nake a high quality product at low-•n feed i.'ij.st '3 curi-.itk-red, may well :x> given attention. The Ayrshire iks demonstrated her superiority in lairy conformation. Inter-breed con-.ests the world over have found Red ir.d Whiter ip th.1 lead; at small qcm-••'•litiDTis, the. London Dairy Show, ind the National Dairy Exposition. rir.s type is iransmitte i uniformly to ift'spriji.^. A farmer using1 an Vshyre bul1 on a mixed herd i.-: as­sured of great improvement in type and production in the grades result­ing. The breed is hardy and long lived, and able to give a good ac­counting for itself even under un­favorable conditions though of course maximum returns are obtained only with liberal feeding and good care. Ayrshires are prolific and the calves are raised easily. This fact gives a real basis for the breed slogan, "Buy one, you'll soon have a herd."

That this breed which has had no promotion but has gone forward solely on its production merits is rapidly increasing in popularity is well shown by the records of the past few years. As evidence tha t the present gives good promise of a bright future for the breed, the fol-'owing additional facts are sub­mitted :

The Ayrshire Breeders' Associa­tion, the national record organization for the breed, completed in 1923 the beat year in its history, registering more males than in any previous year and 15.2 per cent more females than in 1922, t ransferr ing 23.4 per cent more animals than in 1922 and issuing 25 per cent more member­ships. February, 1923, is the twenty-sixth consecutive month in which the business of each month, a direct measure of the breed's activity, ex­ceeded tha t of the corresponding month of the previous year.

The largest number of cows have been on test during the past two years that have ever been entered in the Ayrshire Advance Registry and the average production exceeds tha t of all previous years.

The greatest array, in numbers and yaaiity, of Ayrshires that has ever been brought before the dairy farm­ers of America was tha t seen on last -'nil's show circuit. From coast to joast full classes of superior rcpre--.ontatives of the breed were shown *nding at the National Dairy Show with the best exhibit of Ayrshires yet seen in America. Thesa exhibits drew the largest, moet interested ringside the breed has ever had.

Today more farmers are seeking foundation animals in the breed than ever before. The Ayrshire has made good w :th the American dairy­man. He will take can; of her fu­ture in this country.

plication of the results. "We worked in the laboratories on the deteriora­tion of bu t te r fa t , " he said. "There were some very scientific men engag­ed in those investigations, and while they knew little about the da ry bus­iness they found how but te r fa t de­teriorates and he cause of it. Now of course, tha t is no use to the farmer; but during the course of those studies they devised a new method of making butter which wa> never known before. They tried it out on a large scale in making but­ter for the Navy, and it was success­ful there. They made a product that will keep a long time. Three yean ago one of the largest but ter manu­facturers in the country said, 'Oh that is baby play, that is no good ir this industry. ' Today that same in-

! dividual is s tar t ing five b g factories ! in. this country to make that produce

"Wi".hin the past week," continued Dr. Larson, "a manager of the Min­nesota Co-operative Creameries As­sociation came to my office and sa c that wis one of the greatest discov­eries in the dairy field at the present time. II•' said, 'We are going to make 50,001),000 pounds of that but­ter this year. I have just come from New York City, where I have suc­ceeded in gett ing that class of butter listed on the New York market as a spec'al class of butter. ' That shows tr.e result of scientific research, and it shows that we are successful in developing practical methods."

Another thing the scientists of the department have been working on Dr. Larson explained, is a study of the eyes of Swiss cheese, to t ry to find out what causes them. These men in the department laboratories discovered how to put into milk the organisms that will produce those eyes. The largest manufacturer of cheese said he was not interested when tha t was worked out. But a product was made in this way in the factory at Grove City, Pa., which is under direction of the department , and then assistance was offered in two other states in the manufacture of this product by the methods work­ed out by the Dairy Division.

"During the past week," said Dr. Larson, " the largest buyer of cheese came to my office and said tha t in making his product he had to have the cheese made in that way, because that was the finest cheese made in this country; and he bought prac­tically the entire output of the ter­ritory where our men were working. And more than that , he has employed our men in charge of the work in the field to work for him, beginning the first of January . He has also ap­proached our second man in charge. Of course, it is too bad to lose men that way, but from the standpoint of the industry the work is going on just the same, only somebody else is doing it. Now there a^e two exam­ples," he stated, "of ultimately mak­ing practical use of scientific inves­tigation projects which in the early -tages of their development appeared to the average outsider to be wholly useless. The same is t rue in other lines."

One of the new projects in the Ds'ry Division was outlined before the committee by Dr. Larson.

production has taken place since pre­war years, the department says in oo.nting out tha t the forecast 1923--4 production is 71 per cent sugar and 19 per cent beet sugar, whereas in 1913-14 nearly 50 per cent of the total supply was beet sugar of which more than 90 per cent was of Euro­pean origin.

During and following the war cane sugar production was rapidly increas­ed to compensate for the decreased production of beet sugar in Central Europe. I t is expected that Europ­ean countries, notably Czechoslovakia and Germany, will a t tempt to regain their pre-war position in sugar pro­duction, bu t there is no indication of any intention of cane sugar produc­ers to give up the dominant position in the world sugar market which they have attained in the pas t ten years . Consequently, sharp competi­tion for markets is to be expected within t he next few years between producers of cane and producers of beet sugar, the department s ays :

Beet sugar production is expected to be about 6,200,000 tons, which shows a large increase over the &,-500,000 tons produced in 1919-20. The Cuban crop this year ia forecast at 4.271,000 tons, which is 240£00 tons more than last year, bat lower by about the saja«4uaattty than the crop of i m - * 8 . T h e Lotdaimna cane sugar crop i s shorV bat is more than offset by the larger beet sugar pro­duction of Continental United States.

Exports of refined sugar from the United States, which rose to more than 1,609,000 tons in the year ended June SO, l&il , and Were down to about 400,060 tons In the following year, had declined to only 36,000 tons in the eight .month* ended February

Hatching Troubles Not every egg placed in the incu­

bator or under the hen will bring forth the vigorous little chick which

placed in incubation or ju s t before they are ready to hatch it is conclu­sive evidence that they have become chilled or over-heated. If the chicks

.he optimistic poultryman pictures to die in t ry ing to break through the shell it is a lack of moisture and probably too much heat. These fac­tors are in the hands of the pov^try-.nan and not the machine.

The whole point that we are trying o make is tha t there are literal!} lozens of causes of failure in incu-jator hatching, but rarely can failure oe honestly charged up to the ma­chine if it is in proper repair and properly handled. Those who have failed with a machine in their first trial or two should not become dis­couraged. The next effort will prob­ably be successful and will almost surely be so if the human factor pro­vides all tha t is essential in giving it a fair chance.

nimself when incubation begins. If )very egg produced a healthy chick

and if every chick lived the poultry population w o u l d far more than dou­ble in a single sea­son. Every exper­ienced poultryman knows this to be a fact.

The c a u s e s of failure are many, and many of them can be eliminated, but there always will be a certain

percentage of unsatisfactory and chick morality. The

When asked the question, "What *• too-teacher schools of the aver-

large hatches wise breeder counts on this and plays on a wide enough margin to give him the desired staed flock, even if losses and mortali ty reach the maximum. If :t does not there is always a market ;'or any surplus.

The incubator will be blamed for nany an unsuccessful hatch this spring, as always, but before con­ducing that the machine is no good t will be well to look around for )ther causes of failure. Perhaps it las not had proper care, and if this s tne ense a good hatch cannot be ob­

tained. If the machine is of a stan-lard make, put out by a reliable manufacturer and has received prop­er chre, the trouble lies fur ther back, probably with the eggs. The stock vvhich produced the eggs is often re-ponsible for a low percentage hatch,

llthough the breeder may never sus­pect it. There may be constitutional weakness or some unsuspected dis-2ase which prevents the parent stock from producing eggs of high hatch-ability. Or the trouble may be due to the way the laying flock is fed and managed. Of course, none of these things may be responsible, but we point them out simply to show the many sources of trouble.

I t is also entirely possible that the eggs, although from good stock and first laid, have been allowed t o de­teriorate through careless handling before being set. Often in the early spr ing many of the eggs wffl become badly chilled and their virility there­by impaired. Sometimes they are kept together too long before incuba­tion is started and as a result deter­iorate Personally, we prefer eggs for hatching not to be over five or six days old. When kept longer than t h i s before setting we want to be sure that they have been given unusually good care. This means that they have been removed from the nests before being chilled and kept in a place of medium, even temperature and moved or tamed every day.

If death of the embyro chicks is distributed quite well over the entire period of incubation or seems to oc­cur s t all stages of development it is % fairly safe guess that the eggs came froth poor stock. If daath of most of the germs or esabryos occurs simul­taneously it is a good sign that eggs originally were aO right, bat that

is $789.

Producing Good Hatching Egg» A good criterion of one's ability as

a poultry raiser, the Department of Agriculture says, is the number of chickens raised to maturity in propor­tion to the eggs set. Success de­pends to a large extent on this one factor.

The causes for enormous losses in eggs and dead embryos occurring an­nually in the country are many. A conservative estimate place* the loss due to eggs tha t did not hatch in 1923 at over $8,000,000. Be sure, department poultrymen advise, tha t your breeders are in exceUent health, have sanitary quarters, and tha t one male is mated to not over 15 females. Other losses are due to t he fact tha t many poor eggs are set. Test your eggs carefully, and take out all with thin and spotted shells or with cracked shells.
