WOMAN'S WORK
Woman Famous in the Live Stock
World.

World.
With deep regret we record the
,.oooso at GananOque, Ont, April
e IF Mrs. Eliza Maria Jones, who
uo the double distinction of being
once the most noted Jersey
broader in Canada of either sex, and
+bo most noted female breeder of
1orsovs of either Canada or the
Tri+od States. Mrs. Jones was born,
~ 1898. at Brocksville, Ont, but her
oorIv education was largely received
N Scotland. her father having been
o native of that country. She was
NOT strong as a girl; and it occurred
70 her mother to secure for her
much needed physical exercise by
irving her the four COWS kept for
the family. on condition that she
sbouId skim the cream and take
charge of the dairy. The plan
worked to perfection. When u
wears. old, the little dairymaid was
quite an adept at making butter, to
the disgust of her governess, who
grudgcd the time thus spent, but
with the result of completely re-
establishing the child's health. Soon
after. her mother died, and at 16
the whole burden of a large house
and family fell on her youthful
shoulders. Necessity taught her
that the only way TO succeed was to
put her whole heart into every
thing, never resting till it was done
in the very best way possible. This
rule was observed through life, and
it is doubtless largely the explana-
ton Of her success in whatever she
undertook. In 1860 she married
Mr.. Chilion Jones, one of the ar
chitcctS of the magnificent govern
ment buildings at Ottawa. Some ten
years later, her health failing again,
her husband suggested that she
might take up the management of a
small Jersey herd, supervising ev-
erything herself and doing all in her
own name and in her own way.
The plan was successful, as her
mothers similar scheme had been
and the herd was successful too! A
large basket is needed to hold their
medaIs-gold, silver and bronze
while a wash-tub would hardly ac-
eommodatc their prize tickets.-AI-

wrote: "Put nothing into the butter,
but keep out something that is going
into it. In other words, keep out
dirt"
The butter subject is-one that has
a very varied treatment at the
hands of the average butter-maker
on the farm, be the person who does
the making of the butter, the farm
er, the farmers wife or his daugh-
ter. We take pleasure in awarding
to some farmers wives the credit
due them, by saying that the very
best favored and best keeping butter
we have ever known of, was made on
the farm by a farmers wife. 1t
was so absolutely pure and clean, so
perfectly made and it's keeping quail
titles SO good, that at two years old
it passed EGor fresh grass butter. It
had the aroma" the something in
good butteE that cannot be initiated
in any sort of spurious butter, and
which guarantees it's keeping quail
ties. On the other hand some of
the meanest stuff we ever tried to
eat came from a farm, a good farm,
too. Of course, these people who
make such butter do not know in the
first place what good butter is, or
in the second place how to make
it.
The correspondents reply to the
question, what to put into the but
ter, struck the nail on the head.
Nothing was needed to be put into
it, but there was great need to keep
something out; and in plain United
States language, it was dirt. There
are some who look upon the recent
craze for having c~ow-stables, COWS,
make them as a sort of silly fad.
and mixers all as clean as water can
make them as a sort of silly fad.
1t is far from it. Many and many
a time we have drank milk at coun-
try tables and both private and
public tables in cities, and found
to our great disgust, when near the
bottom, a thick sediment of dirt. 1t
is not possible to make gilt-edged
butter from cream where milk like
that came from. 1t is most emphati-
cally rue that the dirt should be
kept out" not something put in.
And not only should the dirt be
kept out in the milking and hand
ling, but bad odors should be kept
out and microbes should be kept out
of the vessels used by washing them
faithfully and properly. Perfectly
made butter from perfectly pure
cream will keep an almost indefinite
period. The art of making it, or in
the more exact language of the pres
ent time, the science" of making it,
ought to be studied assiduously on
every farm on which butter is made.
Although the microbe that makes
butter rancid goes by the big name
of "Granulobacillus sac charobuty-
ricus immobilis liquefacieus," it is

Married the ire Family.

John Newbe!4y O. Iullahoma, Tenn,
married the whole Barron family,
consisting of mother and her three
daughters. However, there was no
bigamy committed, for the marriages
occurred one after another, as the
members died Off.
First Mr.. Newberry married Sallie
Barron, a widow with three girls.
This was 35 years ago. Sallie died
four years later leaving son.
In a few months Newberry was
married to Judy Barron, who survived
for time and passed away, leaving
a daughter. When the mourning
period had expired, Newberry asked
Martha Barron if she would be his,
and she fell into his arms. She, too,
died, leaving an heir.
Then Newberry bashfully proposed
to the last member of the original
family, Patsy. She said it was very
sudden, but she wilted, and the other
day she and Newberry were united.
Now she and her husband are trying
to figure out the relationship of the
Newberry children.-Chicag Journal.

TO SWIM FOR PLEASURE.
Private Pool the Latest AdjHnct of
Country Places.

Now that Americans have come to take such
pride in their homes. especially their country
homes ID is strange that more have not followed
the example of Dr. Horace Jayne. Of PhiladeI-
phia, and built open air swimming pools their
places.
When city gets into the country his
mind turns to swimming most naturally. but
unless he lives on the seashore or lake the
difficulties attending the sport take away much
of the pleasure. When a barefooted boy ne did
not mind tramping a mile or so along dusty
road, crawling through underbrush and climbing
fences if there a prize swimming pool at
the other end. He content to undress a
log, toss his clothes over the nearest limb and
dress without the formality of drying his body
with a towel. In fact, these were the very
things which made swimming more fun than
anything in the wOrld-Unless it was eating
Or. Jayne is no longer a barefoot boy. He
says his spirit bucked at eel grass and black
mud and dusty roads. To him swimming in the
country was a delusiOn and snare until he
thought out his swimming pool The thought
cost his bank account a little less than 5000,
bGt he considers it one of the best investments
he ever made. He describes it most entertain

Wallingford, a suburb of the Quaker City.
The site selected for his pool was two hun

brook. running between high banks, crosses his
lawn at this point and enters a wood of tail
chestnuts. oaks. hickories and TULIPS. These fur
nished shade for the south and east sides and
screen of tall shrubbery does for the other.
1t was near enough to the house to obviate the
necessity of unsightly bath houses.
The excavation for the pool was made ~ by 25
feet, which gives inside measurement Of
AZ by 21 feet, which is amply large. In a pool
of this size can swim indefinitely, counting
forty laps to the mile. The bottom of the pool
is practically fiat, giving an average depth of
little over six feet This permits diving from
sides and ends
1T is customary" writes DR. Jayne, Ito build
swimming pools with slOping bottoms. so that
the depth of water gradually increases from
say three to ten feet. The advantages of such a
form of construction appear to be overbalanced
by the disadvantages. For those who SWIM il

is scarcely necessary; and for those who cannot
swim it is only measurably safe; moreover, it
introduces an element of uncertainty concerning
the depth which is unpleasant and even dan
gerous, and it limits diving to a definite part
OF the pool The great practical disadvantage.
however, lies in the fact that if the pool is only
partly filled it reduces the swimming area too
much for real pleasure
The pool is lined entirely with white marble,
though cement and tiles were first tried The
cement leaked and soon became black and I'M
inviting. The tiles loosened up in winter and
were otherwise unsatisfactory The coming
platform and steps of the pool are covered with
marble. and about the edge is a cedar walk which
smells delightfully."- when wet There are several
cosey corners and easy seats where the bathers
can rest and Spectators make themselves COM

AT hrst 1t was proposed to supply the pool with
water from the brook. There was some uncertain
