minded persons to be the right way
to pay for 'milk-the demand for
Guernseys has so increased as to
cause an advance of over twenty per
cent in the average price received
by them in some sections.
The following editorial which re-
Gently appeared in one of the leading
agricultural papers voices the general
sentiment in regard to the milk stu
alton:
legal standards setting the mini
mum percentage of butter fat allow
ed in milk have existed in most of the
states for some years, and many cities
have supplemented these with local
and more stringent regulations. But
these standards average only between
three and three and one-half percent
which is a minimum indeed; nor
do they provide any stimulus toward
producing anything better than bare
ly good enough to pass muster.
1.-THE modern point of view is well
illustrated by the action of leading
milk company, which in making its
bid for winter milk for the Chicago
district, offered $1.75 1-3 per- 100
pounds of milk testing 3.6 per cent.
For each tenth of one per cent varia-
tion from this there will be added or
deducted three cents per 100 pounds
of milk, according as it tests more
or less than the. standard"
This has directed a great deal of
attention to the Guernseys. Without
doubt she is the best aid dairyman
can have to meet the conditions which
modern tendencies are bringing
about.
The Guernsey As a Producer of
Cream
Interesting calculations made by a
test of breeds for a four-year period
are of special interest to those sell
ing cream. For the four-year period
the Guernseys produced 676.5 quarts
of cream at cost per quart Of $50
cents; while the Jerseys, their nearest
competitor produced for the four
year period $685. quarts of cream at
cost of 6.79 cents per quart.
The Guernsey As Producer of
Cheese
At the Wisconsin Agricultural col
lege some exceedingly interesting
data were compiled with the herd of
Guernsey cows regarding the casein
content of the milk of Guernsey cows.
James B. Robertson, now with the
Burnside Guernsey Herd, summarize
ed the work as follows:
The average production of cheese
of the ten Guernsey cows of the uni
versity herd for a period of six
months with animals in all stages of
lactation and varying ages was 416.5s
pounds of cheese. Six cows in three
months, forty days after calving pro-
duced an average of 263.9 pounds.
Direct determination of both casein
and fat is necessary to determine the
ability of any one cow to produce
cheese products.

periments with these varieties and
with the rates of seedlings advertised,
they have not been found to yield as
good as average wheat varieties, nor
do they have, the hardihood to with
stand Michigan winters.
"It requires from four to six weeks
to put land in the best condition for
wheat. Wheat requires a firm, we'll
worked seed bed carrying sufficient
moisture for rapid termination. If
prepared early and worked thorough
ly, land can be put in such condition.
Barley or oat-stubble ground dries
quickly and should be plowed and fit
ted as soon as possible. If not pos
sible to plow Immediately after har-
vest, it should be disked and plowed
at later date. Disking as soon as
oats are harvested will prevent the
loss of much moisture and the ground
can be plowed more easily.
"Plow for wheat at an ordinary
depth and follow with roller to pack
the furrow slice and disk or harrow
frequently. In many cases, beans
have failed in Michigan due to the
bean maggot or other causes. Such
land held for wheat should be disked
frequently during August and Sep
tember. Where wheat is to follow
beans, potatoes or corn, the land
should be disked as soon as possible
after the crop is removed" "

Seeding of Better Shortest Way
to More Wheat

Wheat growers, who are breaking
ground throughout the state in pre-
paration for the seeding of fall
wheat and the raising of a forty
million bushel crop for Michigan in
1918, will find the attainment of their
goal less difficult if they will plant
{luperior and high-yielding varieties
"a list of these best strains has been
compiled for the benefit of men who
may be in doubt about what wheat to
select.
"Red wheat in general is much
superior to white for bread-making,"
the new NJ. A. c. wheat bulletin says.
"Of these, Red Rock, a pedigreed
strain developed by M. A. c. is best,
but there are also many other excel
lent varieties, such as the Egyptian,
Shepherds Perfection and Red Wave.
The agricultural college, county
agents, successful wheat growers,
local millers and elevator men
should be consulted and their opinion
and aid solicited in securing the best
strain.
"Newly advertised varieties, parti-
cularly those recommended as requir-
ing a small amount of seed per acre,
should be given a trial only in a small
way before planting. In careful ex-

Hen Must Have elbow Room"
The man who is thinking about
putting up a new poultry house
should make ready now for the job,
a bulletin from the poultry depart
ment of the Michigan Agricultural
college declares. The statement is
added that at least four square feet
of space should be allowed for every
hen.
''If you are planning upon putting
up poultry house, build now,". the
M. A. c. poultrymen say. "By so do
ing the house itself will be we'll sea-
soned and the ground below the floor
thoroughly dried out before winter
sets in.
"The house should be large enough
to allow four square feet of space for
each hen. That is, a coop for 100
birds should be 20 feet by 20 feet in
size, 18 by "a, 16 by %, or IA by 30.
A house less than ~ feet wide or
deep should never be built.
ga shed roof can be built for the
house ID feet wide, but the others
should have a short or broken roof,
while the 20 by 20 structure may he
built with a gabled roof. If a shed
roof is used build the house four and
one-half feet high at the rear and
eight feet in front. If square
house is built allow the ridge pole
to be seven feet from the floor with
a front four and one-half feet high
and the rear five feet high.
"The next question is whether TO
build an open front house or not. Ex-
pericnce at the college has taught that
hens Law better, are less susceptible
to disease, and are more contented
in an open front building than in any
other type.

GREAT CROPS
FOR IONIA COUNTY

A conservative estimate would
place the bean acreage of Ionia coun-
ty % per cent higher than any form
er year, says A. p. Loomis. OF
course, much depends on weather
conditions from now on. Present in
dications promise well. Vines are
thrifty and except on low level land
where it was impossible to cultivate
early, bean fields are clean. Farmers
expect to get a price commensurate
with high cost of seed and labor and
have taken good care of this crop.
There was considerable acreage plant
ed late and some loss from bean mag
got, some replanting done. Safe to
assume however, tha Ionia county will
produce greatest crop in it's history.

An Effective Ad

Unison, visiting small northwest
ern town, lost his pet dog, which he
highly priced. He therefore rushed TO
the office of the one and only news
paper in the place and handed in an
advertisement, offering 500 reward
for the return Of his companion.
A little later, thinking the matter
over, he decided that he would be
more likely to obtain the missing ami
NAL if he inserted the words: "No
questions asked"
He therefore went across to the
office to see if this could be done.
When he arrived only small boy
was TO be seen.
"Where's the editor?" he asked.
"Out."
"And the assistant editor ?"
"Out."
"Well, the reporter?"
"Out."
"I'll see the printer, them"

The topic of this lesson is the cap
ivity Of judah, for. although such men
as Hezekiah and Josiah did what they
could to turn the people from their sins
to the Lord, tie results were only par
tial and temporary, and their sins in
creased. The Lord God had compass
sion on them, notwithstanding their
rebellion against Him, and sent them
His messengers, His servants the
prophets, to tell them Of His love ar 4
His readiness to forgive them and
bless them If only they would turn to
Him with the whole heart, but they
Knocked the messengers of God and
despised His words and misused His
prophets until the wrath OF the Lord
arose against His people, till there was
no remedy QI Chron. xxxvi, 10, 16).
Many times He had told them in the
beginning of their national history how
He would bless them in the land He
had given them If only they would obey
Him and honor Him and keep them
selves from the idolatries Of other ma
tons. See for example Lev. XVI, 1-13.
He told them just as plainly what
He would do to them and how He
would punish them If they would not
hearken to Him and keep His COM
mandments Q,ev. XVI, 1880. Three
times i'm that chapter He told them
that If they persisted in disobedience
He would punish or chastise them
seven times for their sins, an express
sion which we will consider later in
our lesson Nev. XVI, IS, "a, 2S). Not
only during their wilderness journey,
but also while the judges ruled, and
He many a time forgave their iniquity
and delivered them and saved them for
His names sake (Ps. xviii, So; cvi. 8,
49,, but the time had come when there
was no remedy but the captivity.
Josiah was succeeded by four kings,
three sons and a grandson, each Of
whom did evil In the sight OF the Lord,
and during the twenty-five years OF
their reigns judah was carried into
captivity in three different companies
until all but the very poorest were car
ried away. The fourth year of Jehoia-
kim was the first year Of Nebuchad-
nezzar, and In that year, which would
be about 606 b. c., some of the princes,
including Daniel and others, and part
Of the vessels of the house of God
were carried to Babylon Ger. XIV, 1;
Dan. 4, 49,. About seven years later
Jehoiakim, who reigned only three
months, was taken to Babylon, with
his mother and servants and princes
and officers and 10000 others perhaps
$4,000 III Kings xiv, s, 16), and this
was the second deportation. Eleven
years later, in the nineteenth year Of
Nebuchadnezzar, the captivity OF judah
was completed by the carrying away
Of Zedekiah and the rest Of the people,
except the poor, who were left to be
vinedressers and husbandmen. Then
was the house of the Lord burned and
the remaining vessels destroyed or car
ried away QI Kings XIV, LID. Then
was fulfilled the strange prediction
through Ezekiel concerning Zedekiab,
II will bring him to Babylon, yet shall
he not see it," for after his sons were
slain before his eyes they put out his
eyes and bound him and carried him to
Babylon (Ezek. xii. 13: Kings XIV, y.
