Would You Refuse 
To Collect 
Accident Insurance? 
The G. L. F. Exchange was set up by 
35,000 farmers to insure them honest 
supplies at fair prices. They paid 
their policy in the form of subscriptions 
to stock. 
Now a bad seed situation has arisen. 
The G.L.F. knows how to meet it, if 
its shareholders will cooperate. You 
can make use of the insurance of your 
G.L.F. Seed Service and collect on your 
policy as a shareholder of the G. L. F. 
Your Seed Hired Man reports in the 
October issue of the G.L.F. SHARE¬ 
HOLDER, which will be in your hands 
by October 15. Read your copy care¬ 
fully. As a result of his report, you 
may find it advisable to change your 
crop plans.

rations to feed hens,” said a farm 
woman recently, “and I suppose that 
almost any one of them is good because 
experiments have shown that they give 
the hen the various food elements she 
needs to produce eggs. But what I 
should like to know is just how much of 
the ration to feed a hundred hens. It 
just this fact that each poultry raiser 
must learn for himself exactly how much 
to feed his flock that accounts for the 
difference in success achieved by those 
who raise chickens. It requires study of 
the individual flock, and if you really

that the more you study them, the more

We Hatch Late Friers 
A S late as the first of September we 
■ have set hens to rear friers for winter 
use. If we will make a dry, warm coop 
for them the hen will stay _ with the 
chicks very late and they will feather 
quickly, and they grow fast at this time. 
Thanksgiving will find them just right 
for nice friers, and they will be good all 
winter, much better than eating salt 
pork all the time, as is done so often on 
farms. Of course some extra care is 
necessary to avoid their chilling in the 
cold wet grass during cold fall mornings, 
but if theyare active and have a dry coop, 
they will come out in the morning after

much simpler matter.’ 
The reason why much more has been 
written about proper rations than about 
the amount to feed is that no hard and 
fast rule can be laid down for the latter. 
Too many factors enter into it. 
The breed, housing, time of year, 
section of country, condition of flock and 
supplementary feeds are all factors that 
must be taken into consideration. As 
a rule, the lighter breeds, such as Leg¬ 
horns and Anconas, do not consume as 
much feed as the heavier breeds, such 
as Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes. 
When the flock is out on range during 
spring and summer, the grain ration is 
decreased. In winter, more corn must 
be fed to keep up the body heat. Some 
A log-saw that will burn any fuel and 
deliver the surplus power so necessary 
to fast sawing is sure to show every 
owner an extra profit of over $1,000.00 
a year. 
Such an outfit is the Witte Log-Saw 
which has met such sensational success. 
The WICO Magneto equipped Witte 
is known as the standard of power saws —

make up for lost time hunting bugs. A 
small pen to keep them in until late is 
better than just a coop.—L. II. Cobb.

Heavier Feeding at Night 
In general, it may be said that a laying

quarts of whole grain per hundred hens.

enough extra from his oat crop to have

from a practical and commercial stand¬ 
point. 
In 1923 many hundred acres were 
planted with the Jefferson County No. 
343 oat, throughout New York State. 
Wherever farmers had been having 
trouble with oats lodging there was a 
place for this sturdy oat that gives a 
goodly yield as well as standing up when 
other members of its clan give up the 
fight and lay down. It seems almost too 
much to believe that a single head 
selected in 1914 would give enough oats 
to seed down thousands of acres in 1923, 
but a few minutes spent with a pencil 
will show numbers of oats mounting up 
almost like Henry Ford’s profits on a 
year’s output. 
It is hard to figure this all down in cold 
dollars, but in all business enterprises the 
one with the lowest production costs 
keeps up with the procession longest. 
Mr. Warner figures that producing five, 
ten or fifteen more bushels of oats from 
the same acre of land and with com¬ 
paratively little additional cost other 
than that of thrashing and handling the 
extra bushels, is a paying proposition.

What is more perfect than nature and 
the workmanship of Nature’s God? 
After God had created man he knew that 
there must be food for babes, and so in 
his great wisdom he selected milk— - 
mother’s milk. And how did he make it? 
Did he make it yellow with a cream line? 
No, he knew it would be too rich in fat 
for that delicate stomach and so he made 
it white, almost blue with small white 
globules of fat which comprises only 3 to 
3)4% in content and which could be 
easily assimilated. He watched he 
waited and saw that his work was perfect. 
His wisdom told him that other babes 
would follow even before time for the first 
to be moved from the mother’s breast 
and so with loving kindness for babes, 
invalids, the infirm and aged he created

Hundreds of users saw as much as twenty-five

Mr. Witte says that the average user of a 
Witte Log and Tree saw can make easily $50.00 
a day with the outfit and so confident is he 
that he offers to send the complete combination 
log and tree saw on ninety days’ free trial to any¬ 
one who will write to him. The prices are 
lowest in history and under the method of easy 
payments spread over a year, only a'few dollars
