on the governments bean purchases

the bean dealers and bean growers,

Manchester.-Time was when .
good horse attracted the attention
when driven into town and the men
gathered about to admire IL, comment
on its fine points and examine its
teeth. A little later when some pros

Wheat sells at per bushel. /.

Which is the loss to the farmer on
a bushel of wheat.
This shows a loss to the farmer of
$4.92 on each barrel of -four he buys
and takes home.
Which all goes to show that if the
Michigan farmer will grow his own
bread he need not pay war prices,
but can have the staff of life almost
as cheaply as he did ten years ago.

Poor Buseinss Policy

Coral. III. Prout makes the
statement that it is poor business
policy for the Michigan farmer to
buy his flour instead of taking his
wheat to the local miller to be ex-
changed as was the general custom

Mr.. Prout submits the following
figures in proof of his contentious:
On the basis of thirty-five pounds
lings to the bushel of wheat, when ht
buys his flour at the store.
35 lbs. flour at retail price
of $500 per 100 lbs. :. $3.50

Nearing "Eatless" DAYS

Coopersville.-Talk about wheat

with fuel scarcer and winter here,
that if you decapitate this phrase you
have "heatless" days and that some
of us are due to experience them this
winter? Now continue this decapita-
ton, and we have "eatlessp days an
other state of affairs which some of
US are bound to experience with the
present prices for food. Now erase
the first and last letters of the word
"eatless" and transpose the remain
ing letters in the following order:
Fifth, second, fourth, first and third,
and see what you get. There is no
ed to "steal" fuel and food this win
ter to keep from freezing and starv-
ing. Therefore, be prudent in your
Expenditures, saving of your fuel, and
frugal in your eating.

Portland.-The village council very
patrioticly responded to the call for
Red Cross funds at its regular ses-

within $50 of the amount asked for.

FARMERS ARE URGED
TO SAVE MACHINERY

Word is being sent out to farmers
over the country to take special pains
this fall and winter to protect their
machines. Prices have advanced great
", and care Of farm machinery will
pay doubly well this year So the
word is going out:
To put machines under cover as soon
as the seasons work with them is over
To go over every machine carefully
as soon as opportunity will permit,
Tightening bolts, replacing broken parts,
and oiling carefully to prevent rusting.
To paint machines, as painting
lengthens the life of a machine.
Bridge paint is suggested as the best
for iron parts

scientists devote their lives to research

stantly testing food products. They
conduct exhaustive comparative tests.
They accept and endorse only such
methods and baking processes as have
been found superior through scientific
measurements Of merit. These deci-
sions are given wide publicity. The
result is that the housewife Of today
produces more wholesome and perfect

PLANT EVERGREENs
WITH ROOTS MOIST.

4. Evergreens cannot stand the rough
usage that hardwood trees can. This
is partly because they do not posses
and cannot sprout latent buds which
will produce new roots as cottonwoods
or willows do, in case their roots are
dried out or injured
If the roots OF evergreens are dried
out, the tree is beyond hope OF recoy-
cry. In transplanting or planting ever
green's, therefore, prevent the roots
from getting dry. Be sure that the
trees are well packed il bought from a
nursery. Examine them before accept
ing the shipment, and il the roots are
dry and poorly packed, reject them.
Wet the roots when they are received
and keep them wet until they are
planted. Garry them in pail with
enough water to keep the roots covered
and take them out Of the pail only
when hole is made and everything is
Have the hole in which the tree is to
be planted large enough to accommodate
the roots without doubling them up.
Plant the trees as deep as the mark on
the bark shows the tree was in the
ground before it was dug up. Put the
best dirt in around the roots. Pack it
quite firmly and cover with the poorer
dirt Keep the trees cultivated and
they will show greatly increased
growth.-W. 81. Kenety, Superintend-
