James F. Hammell is State Hotel In
spector and Will BE Assisted
BY Is Factory Inspectors
in the Work.

James +. Hammell, now the first
State Hotel Inspector, was for 30
years travelling man. He with his
assistants, will start the first real no
tel inspection ever made in this state
in April. The Inspector, who is also
chief clerk of the labor bureau, will
utilize the regular factory inspectors
for the proposed hotel survey of the
state, the squad consisting of Is fac
tory inspectors,
The act, No 1873, which was a part
of the legislation of the session of
1913, provides for the prosecution Of
inspectors as well as hotel keepers
for a violation of the act the inspec-
tor who wilfully certifies falsely re-
garding any inspection made being
subject TO fine and imprisonment or
both and is forever disqualified to
hold the office of Inspector"
Fire Escapes Necessary.
Under the act any hotel or build
ing used for lodging purpose that is
over two stories high must be equip
ped with fire escapes. Every hotel
not over two stories and which is not
equipped with regulation fire escapes,
must provide in each sleeping room a
substantial manila rope to be fas-
tened TO joists or studding and near
a window and of sufficient length to
reach the ground. Fire extinguish-
ers, according to the new act, must
be kept in hall ways and other con-
venient places and the proprietor
must provide one extinguisher for
every $500 square feet of floor space.
All beds must be equipped with
sheets 90 inches in length and ade-
quate blankets and quilts. Individual
textile towels are also a part of the
new provision, although the old slip
perry elm towel on rollers is. not bar
red if guest is not finicky enough to
care to use clean towel for per-
sonal rub. Considerable stress in sec
tion five is placed upon sanitation,
drainage, toilets, etc, and the only
thing not mentioned in the various
sections of the act is service, cut
worms in the beet pickles and sec
ond-hand toothpicks Much attention
is paid TO hotel equipment as it re
lates to fire protection and health, but
there is no prOviso for mattresses be-
ing compelled TO carry handkerchiefs
every day or parboiling their thumbs
in the soup; hot and cold running wa
ter, chamber maids eating the cough
drops out Of your grip, or the cimex
lectularious, or common bed bug,
carrying concealed weapons without
hunters license
The Michigan inspection will cover
something like $4,000 hotels, large
and small. The inspection will come
along with the regular work Of the
factory inspectors and will not be
made a separate proposition.
The hotel inspection commission
under the act is now composed of the
labor commissioner, dairy and food
commissioner, insurance commission
er and the executive officer Of the
state board of health. 1t is hoped to
complete the Michigan hotel inspee-
tion by fall.

BENEFIT TO ALL MICHIGAN.

Now that both houses Of congress
have passed what is known as the
Smith-Lever bill and President Viii
son is pledged to sign same, the rural
residents OF Michigan can commence
to figure if they want to take advan-
tage of the same and study it's gen.
eral scope. Under this act the fed
eral government is pledged to pay
for farm extension, educational and
experimental work in Michigan
S144 800 per year for ten years; pro-
vided the state Of Michigan appro-
PIRATES an equal amount. The mat
ter will be up to the legislature in
1915. This will be a method of
financing the county farm bureaus
that are now private enterprises in a
few sections of the state, placing
same under federal and state control.
II would provide sufficient funds to
cover the entire state. Milton Car
michael, secretary of the Michigan
Agricultural and Development Blu
reau, Lansing, will have copies of the
bill for general distribution with ex-
plantations showing how it effects the

more attractive to travellers; encour-
age the building of large signs at the
stations giving brief history of terri
tory for benefit of travellers; look
after such industries as are needed to
consume Michigan farm produce;
keep telling people of Michigan about
Michigan so that the citizens of the
state will more fully understand the
home possibilities.
1--WE want to encourage Crop Clubs
in the public schools" explains Man
ager Carmichael. "In 1913 more than
states visited the national capitol, all
made up OF the corn club winners.
The boys of Michigan, where these
clubs were operated, only received
local prizes. ! am going to see that
the boys that work all summer to
make corn and potato records in
Michigan are properly rewarded;
they should go to Washington the
same as the lads In Ohio and Indiana.
All of the details are not completed,
but they will be before the close Of
the school in the spring.
Our marketing plan will not only
pay the farmers better prices for
eggs and other produce than they are
receiving today, but will make mar
ket for fruits and vegetables that are
now allowed to go to waste because
tn amount raised is not of sufficient
quantity to warrant marketing. But
most important of all will make a
way for 10000 or 10000 of the school
boys and girls of Michigan to earn
a little money every week in the year,
start bank accounts. That is the i'm
portant part of the system and by
this encouragement ] hope to see
thousands of boys so interested that
they will be willing to stay on the
farm instead Of hunting a factory job
as soon as vacation time arrives

Milton Carmichael, Secretary-Mana'
ger, From Overwhelmingly
Connected With Organization
and Publicity Work in
That City.

After working more than a year
on the preliminaries, feeling out pub
lie sentiment and investigating the
needs Of this state, the formal an
nouncement has been made Of the or
ganization of the Michigan Agricul-
tural and Development Bureau, with
headquarters at Lansing. The organ
ization is for state wide development
and publicity and is not interested in
any real estate or particular part OF
Michigan. Milton Carmichael, who
has had charge Of commercial Organi-
cation and publicity work in Detroit
for a dozen years, will act as seere-
tary-manager. Many Of the leading
public spirited citizens of Michigan
have already pledged support to the
Bureau. Here are the most important
matters to which this organization
will give attention:
Securing settlers for the many
large tracts of undevelOped lands of
Michigan, of which there are 10000
900 acres; by a systematic campaign
interest nearby farmers ia the many
good pieces Of Land that can be
bought in this state at very low
prices; help the good roads move
ment; marketing farm products;

ing by the number of moths.
So we may expect trouble in GER
tain restricted regions. The
weather plays an important part
in any worm control. Cool
weather is favorable for the
army worm and hot weather is
favorable.
1t is desirable that farmers
in the regions where the army

in the season should be on the
look out and if they appear IN
large numbers in any particular
field take immediate steps to
keep them from spreading.

Care of Eggs on the Farm.

care OF Eggs Oh the E@W'
Four million dollars is a con
servative estimate of the losses
occurring annually in Missouri be-
cause Of bad eggs. The loss is
borne largely by the farmer and
results in a low price for his
eggs during the summer months.
The great burden of the loss oc-
ours on the farm. What can
the farmer do to prevent this
lossY
Here are seven rules advised
by the Missouri College Of Agri-
culture for the care of eggs on
the farm.
First, market only eggs of
standard size, - twenty four
ounces or more to the dozen.
Second, sort out exceedingly
large or very small eggs.
Third, avoid dirty eggs by
keeping clean quarters. Dirt
a be removed with a damp
cloth, but eggs should not be
washed.
Fourth, remove males from
flock as soon as the breeding
season is over. The presence OF
the male birds in the poultry
flock destroys one-half million
dollars worth of eggs each month
during the summer. Prevent this
loss by the production Of infert
lie eggs. Fertile eggs do not keeE
well, it costs money to feed sur
illus males and the hens arr
more productive when no males
r present.
Fifth, reject eggs from stolel
nests; that's where many Of tn
rotten eggs come from.
Sixth, store eggs in cool
well ventilated places. Heat as
sists in chick development, an,
also increases the shrinkage.
Seventh, keep eggs ava.
from odors such as those frOr
kerosene, cabbage, rotten fooC
fresh paint, etc. Food ais
influences flavor only clean fO'
should be fed.
Eighth, market eggs once c
twice weekly. An egg dete
iorates in quality with age.
Ninth, insist that your deal
purchase eggs on a Gloss off
basis, not just as they come
At present the dealer buys
eggs, good, bad and indifferer
1t the same price, and does n
recognize the difference in qua
ity. The result is that an ave
age low price is paid for egg
Some eggs are worthless whi
others are worth much mo
than the average price. Insi
that your dealer candle eggs du
ing the summer. If he sorts o
bad eggs he can then affO.
to pay more for the good.
