HORSE UPKEEP COSTS
SHOW 20 DOLLAR DROP

1t will cost the average Michigan
farmer about seventy dollars less to
keep horse next year than it did
during the twelve months ending May
l, 1921, according to stat fors, Just re-
leased by II. M. Eliot, head farm
management department of thehei eichi-
gan Agricultural College.
Direct cost of upkeep averaged $163
a horse last year, while $94 is given as
the average expense per animal on the
basis of present feed prices. Statistics
upon which these estimates are based
were gathered on so-called farm ac-
counting route iu Wayne and Monroe
counties. A careful check on 118 hor-
ses on 25 different farms was kept by
a field man from the college, who CO.
operated with the individual farmers in
keeping records. The data was COM
piled by +. T. Riddell, of the M. A. C..
experiment station.
Items entering into direct costs on
horse maintenance included: grain
(oats and corn $50. 20; roughage (corn
stover, hay mixed, pasture and bedd-
ing) s105. 81; miscellaneous decreased
inventory, horse purchases, deprecia-
ton, etc. $25. Is. From this total was
deducted $11.03 for horse sales, and
$13.74 for manure value, leaving the
cost per animal $l63. In addition, the
average investment per horse and
equipment is placed at sl6S by the
college statisticians.
Man labor to keep single horse is
placed at 93.5 hours, with 26 cents an
hour the average wage.
Similar cost accounting work on gas
power and other general farm costs is
being carried out by the college, and
results for comparative work will be
available i'm the near future.

Good Music
and Attractions
Boyne City Marine Band To Be
at County Fair.

The Fair Association wishes to an
nounce the engagement Of the Boyne
City Marine Band for fair week Sep
tember 18th to 10th. This organization
is one of the best of its kind in this
part Of the state and will furnish music
each afternoon of the fair and will play
a concert in conjunction with Fishers
Orchestra and the New Metropole Or
chestra of East Jordan each evening of
the fair. The Association decided to
hire this band instead of getting a
third orchestra as il was thought that
ii would make the musical program
more balanced.
The free attractions at this years
fair will be of equal merit of those Of
former years. The Steiner Trio have
come very well recommended and
were purchased from the same agency
which furnished the Mexican act last
year. They are Comedy Triple Bar
Acrobatic Act and have been playing
the state fairs and larger county fairs
for several years past. They introduce
many novelties and their act is laugh
from start to finish.
Martin and Genett will put on as a
free attraction for this years fair some
thing that is entirely new. This act
carries its own special scenery and is
an acrobatic act depicting the trouble
between a chauffeur of Eord car and
his passengers at the garage. This act
is recommended as being extremely
funny and one calling for unusual aero
batic skill.
Mr.. Herman Happy has just been en-
gagged to put on an open air movie film
each night of the fair. His films are
good Western pictures and comedy
and he will furnish moving picture
entertainment for at least one hour
each evening.
The Moving pictures, Martin and
Genet, the Steiner Trio and the band
and orchestra concerts together with
the merry-go-round, side shows, and
concessions and dancing in the Educa-
tional building will furnish the enter
taiu1ment for the evening fair.

EXHIBITORS URGED TO
GET THEIR ENTRIES
in ORDER FOR THE FAIR.

The Fair Association wishes to re-
mind exhibitors that the Charlevoix
County Fair under a ruling of the State
Department requires that you bring a
certificate that your cattle have been
tested and have been found free from
tuberculosis. Your county agent can
give you all these particulars and you
should get in touch with him at once as
he will have a state man in the county
testing cattle just before the fair. Ex-
hibitors in other departments are
urged to get their exhibits in order
and make their entries as early as pos
sible. Early entries save confusion
at the Secretary's office during the
fair and save your time when you
bring the articles to the grounds.
There is an entry blank in each Pre-
MUM List and if this is not sufficient
you may get an extra one by applying
at the Secretary's office in East Jordan
If you have any live stock, poultry,
ducks, geese, turkeys, vegetables,
grains, or fruits worthy of exhibit you
should realize that it is your personal
duty to exhibit taese articles at the
fair. II helps the other fellow who
hasn't been as successful as you. 1t
creates an incentive in him to raise
better products. 1t will help to make
your county better and richer county
and doubtless you will be able to get
ideas which will aid to your success.
Try it this year and see if it doesn't

Pioneering in Hog Production in
Georgia

A whole army of Georgia hoys
went into live stock production last
year. l refer particularly to our
youthful farmers who engaged in
pork production by associating them
selves with the pig club organiza-
ton. In all there were some 6,005
boys enrolled. They represented the
majority of the counties in the state.
They grew out some 6,671 pigs worth
on conservative basis, $347, $50.
These young farmers exhibited their
hogs at fairs throughout the state,
where they won in a large number
OF contests. sometimes in direct COM
petition with older and more expert
enced breeders. They also particle
pated in the various judging contests
held a the principal fairs in Georgia
and acquitted themselves wito dis
tinction. 1t is .rue that they did
net win the competition which would
have entitled them TO go to England,
but they made a splendid showing
when we consider II at live stock
farming is, after all, relatively new
enterprise in Georgia. 1t was GER
tein4y greatly 20 toe credit OF these
aggressive young farmers that tney
took rank over the boys who repre-
sent many of the great stock-raising
states of the middle west. 1t IS an
evidence of the effective work which
has been done through the agency
of the pig clubs in training boys to
understand and appreciate the prin-
ciples involved in the proper feeding,
nutrition and management Of live
stock.

In the days that. followed Abner
was very kind to his daughter. He
was gentle. Charlotte appreciated it,
but she knew that the news of her
coming home would soon begin to
percolate through Westonbury. There
would be talk and her father was
proud.
1t was time Of dreary waiting
through the long sombre fall. and
there was nothing to do. To be sure
there was plenty of work at the farm,
physical work, but there were no
nothing to take her mind off herself.
Charlotte thought a great deal in
these days about life she felt
strangely humble.
She would watch her father and
mother drive off to church on Sunday
mornings and would visualize them
sitting straight in the old pew with.
perhaps, the curious eyes of the con
gregaton turned upon them as they
sat there. She almost screamed at
her own impotence to do anything
about it, but there was nothing she
could do but wait.
her one visitor was the old family
doctor, who had brought her into
the world. Charlotte used to look
forward to his coming for he would
sit and talk to her a long time, and
she saw the life of the entire viii
lage through his shreWd old eyes.
Sometimes he took her with him
when he went to pay his calls and
she would watch him as he walked up
the little gravel paths to the houses,
his shabbyfold bag in his hand, with
tenderness in her eyes. When he
came out she would say eagerly:
'How was the Baxter baby today"
or Did Mrs. Brown ask. about me?"
or "Was it bad fracture, doctor?"
Once DR.. Raymond asked her to go
in with him. They had driven to the
outskirts of the town and had stopped

November, and she could see the
curious faces of two children pressed
against the dirty window panes.

From here, we went to meat
cutting demonstration. The man
showed US all the different cuts OF
the hog. From here we went into
one of the offices and had talk on
meat inspection. The man showed

| infect the meat. After he had fin
tshed we went downstairs and had a
lunch which they called la camou-
| fage. 1t consisted of a doughnut and
a bottle of milk. AS soon as we got
through we were loaded on our cars
again and started for the by-prod-
ucts plant. Here we saw them MAX
ing sand paper, soap and many other
materials too numerous to name.

we got through the plant.

go to the stock show.

taurant and had supper. All Of, the
different states were giving yells
and singing songs. So the man in

but we made a desperate effort. At

am a lonely girl of nineteen, com
ing to you for some advice. l have
been going with a boy, aged twenty
one; he came to see me seven months.
We were engaged to be married
Christmas, and now he has stopped
coming. The last time he came he
said for us to take back all we had
said, as times were so hard. DO you
think he cared anything for me, or
just wanted to first with me? AS 4
love him very dearly, can you tell me
any way I can gain his love? Is
night when other boys and girls are
along? Is there any harm in letting
a boy hold your hand in his
lap? Is there any harm in a boy
putting his arm around a girls arm
and pinching her arm when sitting
side by side? What should a girl say
when a boy leaves and tells her he
had a good time? Please answer all
of my questions in your next paper.
I will appreciate your advice.
"TRUDIE."
Familiarity breeds contempt"
before marriage and afterwards.
A woman cannot break down her
reserve power at any time. And .
one may be affectionate without
becoming too intimate. / do not
mean for one to hide their best
endowed with capacity for low
ing some one very hard, espe-
cially the other sex. They are
quick to take advantage of this
love, unless it is handled with
the greatest care. If you can
exercise "self-control" and let
the~man show his affection with
out your being swept off your
feet, you will come out the win
ner in the long run. Men tire of
girls and women on this account
more than any other. AS soon as
some girls find out that the man
they love is in love with them,
they start getting crazy about
him, and do all sorts of fool
stunts, which in time disgusts
him, and makes him run away.
And the same after marriage.
The minute a woman realizes she
has married the man OF her
choice, she starts in bossing him
around and bestowing her af-
lection in over doses, until he is
overwhelmed with the desire to
leave, and many of them do. TO
keep a man i'm love, be sweet
without being mushy. Be tact
full, be loyal to his interests
don't talk about him except to
praise him-to the family and
neighbors. Have mind of your
own about your personal affairs,
and don't tell him all you know.
Learn to say something and stick
to it. Don't talk about other
women to him-unless something
nice. Let him boss himself.
Then you can boss him.
