of Leghorns, these being by far the
best months. Sometimes chickens
Matched in February come on to lay
too soon, while those Matched later
than April do not, as a rule, get into
their stride until winter is on them.
1t must not be forgotten that it is
impossible to make up for lost time
with poultry. No system of housing
or feeding can possibly make up for
the time lost, unless chickens are
Matched at the right time. In the case
of non-setting varieties HoudanS,
Leghorns, Anconas and Campine, it
would be sheer folly to hatcn these
varieties in March. They mature quick
ly and would come on to lay in Sep
TENDER, which would probably mean
a partial moult before the year end.
MIDI April, then, is about the best time
to hatch these birds for those who are
DESTROYS to obtain an autumn egg sup
ply.
1t is little use expecting to get
good results unless the strain of the
breed selected is a good one. 1t does
not matter so much about the breed,
if it is built on general purpose lines.
But on strain everything depends. I'm
less the pullets have been proved good
layers, it is hardly likely their off
spring will be satisfactory as great
producers. 1t is exactly the same with
exhibition stock.

Helps For Advertisers

ficult to believe that there are those
who will say: "We do not believe in

WE ALL OWE THE DAIRY COW
SOMETHING.

The man who milks the dairy COW
is not the only one who is under OBJ
legation to her. In addition to the in
dispensabe food products which she
produces, she contributes so substan-
tally to the material prosperity of the
community that each and every indi-
vidual living in that community shares
what she bestOws.
Go into an agricultural community
where grain farming is the chief oc-
cupatiOn OF the farmers and note gen
era conditions. Then go into an ag-
ricultural community where the dairy
COW has been properly appreciated and
note conditions there. Poor improve
ments, poorly titled farms plastered
by mortgages on the one hand and
we'll titled farms with comfortable
improvements on the other, give tes-
timony to the benefit accruing from
the dairy business.
Our business men are learning to
appreciate what the dairy COW means
to the town as we'll as the farm. They
are taking steps to make it easier for
the farmer to keep more and better
COWS. They are not only giving him
financial help in order to go into dali
rying further, but they are even pro-
noting movements which are calcula-
ted to increase his interest in the dairy
cow.
This shows commendable spirit on
their part and must result in an in
creased revenue for the farmer as
well as for themselves. They prosper
as the farmer prospers and he pros
pers as he gives attention to diversi-
fed farming along intelligent lines,
giving particular attention to the
dairy COW.

THE SINGLE TOP TRAIL"
By Fred ID. Keister.

An old Michigan farmer is noted for
boasting about the products of his
farm. So one day neighbor think
ing to take a rise out of him, sent
his man to ask if he could have the
loan of his cross-cut saw to cut tur-
nip up so as to get it in his cart. He
was not quite sure, however, that he
had the best of it when he received
the following reply: "You should
have the saw with pleasure, but /
have it fast in a potato"

To illustrate: A householder near
Chicago sent us an order for twenty
five bushels of potatoes at 81 per
bushel on board cars in Traverse City.
Why cant the farmer ship produce
from his home town and get the
higher profit himself?
Don't always conclude that the po-
tato shipper gets the difference of 80
to 40 cents, because he don't. His
business is to supply the commission
houses in the larger cities in car lots,
and he does it on a very small mar
gin, not over three to five cents per
bushel on potatoes. So the shipper is
not to blame.

strange that land and farm values are

When you order your Sweet Cherry
trees don't forget to send for one
year olds. You will find they root
easy and the loss from late planting
much less. We say "late planting"
because you must have noticed how

them, unless possibly you have had
the foresight to haul them in last fall

About the safest plan is to confine

was fortunate enough to meet Mr..
Farnsworth, a famous grower of
Ohio at the Park Hotel, and he told
of his experience in growing and mar

apple he would choose for planting
if he was confined to one variety. He

The necessity of Apple Shows such
as that at the Traverse City State
Bank, which will teach us the varie-
ties, was well shown by the sale at
the grocers of Jonathan here under
the name of Mcintosh Red and at
$3.50 per barrel. Now if the grower
had studied the bank exhibit at all,
he would have found the difference
very quickly, and would also have
learned better wisdom than selling
nicely graded Jonathans for less than
half their value, possibly on the theo-
ry that they were a fall apple and
would not keep.

drawback is its keeping quality, or the

TMo.Pleee Dress for Girl.

The mother who takes pride in
dressing her children prettily can do
SO by adopting the idea OF the two
piece dress. A little underslip that
consists both OF the skirt and guimpe
can be made OF lingerie, net or EN-
broidery. A child always looks most
charming In a costume which includes
white, and no color stands washing
as well. However. all white is some
times not practical. A little old-blue
overdress, blocked in equal. square
scallops on the bottom and sleeves,
may be put over different little slips,
allowing about eight inches OF the
white flounce TO show from under the
scallops OF the dress at the bottom.
The sleeves correspond TO the bottom
OF the dress. The little neck Is cut
deep to allow the white guimpe TO
show A cord OF blue silk holds the
dress in place at the neck and

sleeve that turns at the elbow.
