from this source had been satisfied.
though, the market settled back. Open
ing figures were 1s to 1aaAs up, with a
subsequent additional gain, and then
decline that offset nearly all the advance.
Oats reflected the course Of other
grains. Offerings were moderate, except
for May of which there was plenty for
sale on the upturn.
Provisions bulged with hogs and corn.
First sales showed a rise Of "a to 15c,
with the market promising to hold fairly
well.
Figures showing more than per cent

In favor of the bears, but the effect did
not endure. Receipts northwest fell away

tee on Tariff Bill.

Washington, June 12.--The Har-
vester trust won a signal victory in
the senate finance committee. Hemp
was put on the free list. The house
split the Republican duty in half and
fixed a rate of $11.20 a ton on hemp
for the revenue it would bring.
Heckled hemp, dutiable at one cent a
pound in the Underwood bill, also was
transferred to the free list. The
revenues received from these amount
to about $4,000 a year. Practically
not a pound Of hemp is grown in the
United States.

USING TONS OF TREE SEEDS
Much Has Already Been Planted or
Sown and Balance Will BeB Util-
ized Later in Season.

The United States department OF
agriculture is using this year on the
national forests over ten tons of tree
seed.N Most of this seed has already
been planted or sown. The rest will
be utilized later in the season. as fav-
orable conditions are presented
1t takes a great many tree seeds to,
make ten tons. Jack pine, the most
important tree for planting In the,
Nebraska sand bills by the forest
service. will average something like
$4,000 to the pound.
OF Washington yellow pine, the tree
most extensively planted throughout
the national forests as a whole, 10000
seed will make a pound.
Altogether the ten tons of seed to be-
used this year represent perhaps 300
million single seed
II every single seed could be de-
pended upon to produce a young tree
suitable for planting. the result would
be a supply of nursery stock sufficient
to plant 100000 acres of land, but no
such result can be looked for because
Most of the seeds will be sown,
either broadcast or in seed spots or
planted with corn planter, directly
in the place where the trees are to-
stand
Even when nursery stock is raised
a liberal allowance must be made for
loss. In the first place considerable
percentage of the seeds will be found
to be infertile
OF those which terminate, many
will die before they leave the nursery
beds and many more will be lost I'M
transplanting.
II from a pound OF western yellow
pine seed that contains 10000 indi-
vidual seeds. 1000 three-year-old
transplants are available for field
planting. the department Of agricul-
ture has obtained satisfactory results.

First Meeting Of Commission.


The first. meeting of the state COM
mission appointed by Governor Ferris
to establish a farm colony for the
humane, curative, scientific and eco
nomical treatment of epileptics, to
be known as the Michigan Farm
Colony of Epileptics. was held in
Detroit.
The governor was chosen as chair
man of the commission. Thomas
Gordon, Jr., of Howell, was elected
treasurer, and Dr. Robert l.. Dixon,
secretary of the state board of health,
secretary M IT, Murray Of Lansing
and Judge Hubert of Detroit, the
other members of the commission,
were present.
Secretary Dixon told the members
Of the various sites offered for the
farm colony, but no definite action
was taken because of the fact that
the letters offering sites did not con-
tain the information desired.
The act creating the commission
provides for an appropriation OF
100000 for a site to contain 1000
acres Of land, suitable buildings to
be erected. One site was offered in
Arenac county, the Hart farm, near
Caro-; one in Alpena county, one in
Evart, Osceola county, and another
in Washtenaw county, near the Uni
versity of Michigan.
The fact that this location is so
near medical institution where the
epileptic could be studied, was dis
cussed with interest, but because
much necessary detail information
was lacking nothing tangible was
brought out.
The commission will visit each
one of the sites offered before any
definite action is taken. Secretary
Dixon expects many more offers OF
sites before the next meeting of the
commission, which will be held in
the governors Office in Lansing
July Z.

CAUSE OF BLACKBERRY RUST
There ls Nc Effective Cure Known
and Practical Wisdom Requires
Care i'm Prevention.

What is the cause of blackberry
rust, and is there any cure for it?
The cure for it Is like the mad
dog cure-"clip the nose off with a
sharp ak eight inches back Of the
muzzle."
In other words dig and destroy
the affected bushes and If they are
numerous better destroy the whole
patch.
If not convenient to burn them,
bury them foot deep.
There is no effective cure known.
and practical wisdom requires great
care In prevention.
This rust Is a funguous disease,
very contagious. II we could ex-
plain the cause Of 1t, we could also
explain the cause OF a thousand
other diseases affecting plant and
animal life About the best we can
do is to guard against these enemies,
and take preventive measures.

IMPROVEMENT OF
CHICKEN FLOCK
Strong, Rugged Health and Early
Maturity Two Great Points
to Consider.

(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
An old saying with breeders of live
stock is that the best cross is with
the feed bin. We say that this is the
only cross that should ever be made
with chickens.
History fails to show single in
stance where any man gained in his
breeding operations through crossing
two distinct breeds. It is perfectly
true that the resulting offspring are
frequently sturdier and grow faster
than either of their parent breeds.
They may even lay more eggs, but
they are almost certain to fail totally
in passing on desirable characteristics,
and the third generation will be far
inferior to the original breeds used
in the cross. Crossing breaks up all
the lines of heredity and is of value
only in producing new breeds, and
very rarely then.
Don't try to get better chickens by
crossing two established breeds, be-
cause you will surely fail, and don't
waste your time trying to grade up a.
scrub flock by using pure-bred males
because life is to short Start with
pure breds and bring up the health
and productivity of your flock by
wedding out the non-producers and
selecting the young breeders with
great care. Pick out next years breed
ers while they are small and watch
them carefully as they develop.
Strong, rugged health and early ma
turity are the two great points to con-
slider for the poultryman who wants
flesh and eggs above feathers.
Separate the pullets from the cock
erels as soon as you place the young
sters in the colony roosting coops.
Both sexes will develop better from
then on If separated as far as posi-
pie. Have birds of the same size to-
gether to avoid crowding and stunt
ing the smaller ones.
Remember that the pullet which
shows q red comb first will usually
lay first, and the one that lays drst

This is all very well and good bust
ness, provided the other side OF the
account Is kept with equal care.
Don't forget to give the farm credit
for the living of the family. II the
interest on the investment is to be
figured at city interest rates, then sell
yourself all those fresh eggs, frying,
fresh fruits and vegetables at city
prices and give the farm credit. II
every bushel of grain or bail of hay
that old Dobbin eats is to be charged
to the running expenses of the farm,
then hire old Dobbin at livery rates
whenever you or the family take a
Sunday drive, or drive to visit one OF
the neighbors. What about the auto
mobile? When you get to that stage
you are probably past counting ex-
penses.
There is also the question OF fuel.
What farmer who has his own wood
growing on the place ever makes any
account Of what it Is worth. While
we are setting down the debts and
credits let's give the farm credit for
the wood at market prices. 1t will
help toward balancing the wages OF
the hired man, which have already
been put down on the debit side, and
will be no more than fair.
Then there is the item of house
rent. If we make the farm pay inter
est on the money invested in the
houses and barns we have no right to
use them without allowing fair
rent. To do so would be making the
farm pay twice. Really we ought also
to allow rent on the land to the credit
of the farm. 1t would help it, you
know, to pay its interest money when
due.
There are, you see. two sides to
this question of accounts as well as
to every other question.
While every farmer should keep &C
counts with and of the farm, he
should not be misled into falsifying
them. If these items on the credit
side are omitted or forgotten, while
all the debts are carefully put down,
there is apt to be a feeling OF dissat-
isfaction with the years work, which
is unnecessary.

(By MRS A. J. WILDER.)
The accounts are balanced for the
past year and the books closed. It Is
too late now to make any difference
In the showing and we can only prove
our advance in knowledge by doing
better this year
Here is where the farmer who
keeps his accounts in shape and also
keeps record of the work done on
one who thinks it is too much trouble
to keep books. The farmer who does
not keep the farm accounts has a
small chance of profiting by either his
mistakes or his successes to the full
extent. Although one part of the
farm business may be making him 3
good profit and another be running
him behind he Is nearly as apt to In
crease the losing branch as the pay
Ing one.
OF course man can keep good
deal of his business in his head, but II
you have never made the trial you
will be surprised at how different the
idea you have in your head may be
from what the books will show.
Perhaps the past year has not been
as successful as you had hoped it
would be. You may be just little
discouraged over the balance in your
favor at the bank, but if you have in
creased the fertility of an acre Of your
land, there is a balance in another
kind Of bank, and one where there
Is no danger Of the cashier abscond-
Ing with the funds.
The increased productiveness of
the soil is balance in his favor that
very few farmers take into account
and it is just as real and tangible as
a money balance at the bank in town.
Talking of accounts-there have
been some articles going the rounds
lately, telling the farmer that in order
TO ascertain If he is making any profit
from his farming operations he must
add to his list of expenses each year
interest on the worth of his farm and
all his farm equipment, considering
1t as so much money invested, which
Of course it is. The income from the
farm must pay this interest as well
rs all running expenses and what Is
left after this is profit.
