WORK
TO GIVE JOY To
FARMER s WIFE
Progressive Ideas and Modern
Equipment Make Her Lot Far
Happier One.

KANSAS CITY, Sept 20.-On the
primitive farm the convenience and
welfare Of the housewife is the last
to receive consideration. The farmer
builds a big barn and small shack
for house The well which IS the
only source Of water FOR both, is
sunk near the barn. The distance the
beasts have TO go for water is meas
ured in feet, while the distance the
wife carries the house supply in a
bucket is measured by rods
It's the exemplifcation of the rule
Of the savage and the Indian:
Let the women do the work"
One Of the purposes Of the third
annual conference Of the Bankers
Committee on Agricultural Develop
ment and EDUCATION, held here re-
Gently, was to Change that condition.
Later the more progressive farm
ers sank the well near the house. in
stalling windmill or a gasoline
pump. Pipes were laid from the well
TO the tank at the barn. The house
wife didn't have to go so far for the
water but she still had to carry it
into the house in bucket. She
lifted it to the shelf: lifted it from
the bucket by dipper into the dish
pan; lifted it from the dishpan to the
refuse bucket: then lifted il again to
empty it at the back door.
The modern idea is to sink the well
and Install the pump or mill so the
house will be between them and the
barn. Then direct the pipe to the
barn, which has a small elevated
tank. In that way the housewife has
only to turn faucet for the water

CUREDLEPROSY
Two Patients in the Philippine
Islands Recover From Most
Dreaded of Diseases.

WASHINGTON. Sept 2O.-An ap-
parent cure for leprosy has been
found by surgeons Of the Public
Health Service at the leper colony in
the PhiIippines-in fact. so much OF
cure that two patients who showed
distinct signs of leprosy when they
were admitted to the institution have
been discharged as cured. However
there seems to be uncertainty as to
just which Of two treatments effected
the cure-a vaccine treatment or
chauimugra oil taken by mouth and
hypodermically.
The patients who were discharged
were given both treatments. but there
are said now to be in the hospital a
number of other cases which have
shown negative" for the past TWEEN
ty-two months. and these received
only chaulmugra oil treatment.
Surgeon Victor G.. Heiser, OF the
Public Health Service, chief quaran-
tine officer and director of health of
the Philippine Islands, in reporting on
the two cases which were discharged
says:
Two patients who had been con-
fined to the San Lazaro Leper Hos
pital on account of leprosy, have been
pronounced apparently cured and dis
charged from that institution on pro-
baton.
The first case was that of a male
Filipino, aged 81, who was admitted
to the San Lazaro Lepe: Hospital
Manila, May 29, 1909. On admission
the case clinically showed thiCkened
reddish spots on the nose and thick
ening and discOloration of the lobe
Of the right ear. He received vac
cine treatment at intervals, beginning
in August, 1909. but at the expiration
of one year no change was noted in
his condition. From September, 1870,
to November, 1910, crude Chaulmugra
oil was given by mouth in. increasing
doses
1.-THE case showed evidences of i'm
provement. November 10. 1910, chaul-
mugra oil, combined with oil of cam
phor and resorcin, was given hypO-
dermically. BY May s, 1911, the le-
sions above described had disappear

in repeated microscOpical eXamina-
lions.
ION June Il, 1913, a most careful
clinical and micrOsCOpical eXamina-
ton was made Of the patients, which
resulted negatively for leprosy. and
as the patient had now been appar-
emily cured for a period of over two
years, he was discharged on prOba-
ton.
THE other case was that Of
Filipino woman. aged %, who was
admitted to san Lazaro Leper Hos
pital, Manila, January Z, 1910. Gin
ically this patient presented a suf-
fused countenance, due to generalized
infiltratiOn.
Upon admission this patient was
placed upon a vaccine treatment for
a period of five months, but at the

mission crude chaulmugra oil by

Boston Man Enters First Claim

Bay State.

BOSTON, Sept. 20.-Broken teeth,

threats and a variety of other com
plants We're embodied in the suit for
divorce, with alimony. flied yesterday
by Edward A Blakeney, againsr his

Mr.. Blakeney's suit. unique alone
in the fact that for the first time in
the history Of Massachusetts courts
a man sought a.imony from his wife,
proved the more unusual because OF
the specifications which he detailed
to support his charge of cruelty on
the part of Mrs. Blakeney.
To secure his claim for alimony,
Mr.. Blakeney also places an attach
ment for $4,000 on the Blakeney
house in Randolph. which he charges
was bought with his money and
merely placed in her name.

then they began in earnest.
In Randolph, he alleges, she threw
a carving knife at him with such
force that its handle was broken
when it hit the wall behind him.
Later in the same summer. he says.
she struck him in the face and forced
him to sleep in the barn.
Less than a year later, he claims,
she aimed a hot flatiron at his face,
which struck his shoulder and
scorched his clothing. The next
event was at supper time, when she
chose a saucer, which again missed
his face, but cut his ear as it whis-
tied by.
When a building on the estate on
which they were living was destroyed
by fire, he says, she accused him Of
burning it, and later abused their
son, and insisted that he lick" him,
so that they had to leave.
Early in 1903, he sets forth, she
threw a bottle containing a very
heavy substance" at him, but on this
occasion also her aim was poor. She

And that all means relief to the

It's through the farm expert, or the

ALABAMA MINSTRELS
PLAY TO CROWDED HOUSE

Waco Morning News, Waco, Texas,
April 6, 1912: The Alabama Colored
Minstrels gave an amusing perform
ance under canvas at the corner of
Third and Jackson last night. The
crowd filled the tent to it's capacity.
The acts most worthy of comment
were those of the Clarke Brothers,
who opened the performance. Ed
wards was excellent on the slack
wire and proved himself to be an ex-
ceptionally good dancer and comedian.
A very unique cigar smoking act by
Watts, the giant and funny fellow, was
highly commendable and his imita-
ton of a trombone was very clever.
The feature of the entire performance
was fre-eating and contortion act
by High Henry Hunt. There was a
good band and orchestra which fur
nished music for the songs through
out the entire show. The Alabama
Ministries leave this morning for Mar
lin in their two private cars, which
are also worthy of mention.

the dairy herd, instead Of waiting I'M
til he had cleared and cropped q large
part of the land before venturing to
put on cows, he has pushed the work
of clearing as fast as convenience
dictated. Today he has 10 acres un-
der cultivation.
"The total sales from this cut-over
farm last year were $7,144.55. How
many farms of 10 titled acres in the
latest regions of the corn belt have
done this? Some have-but those
that have are not legion.
"What was the big money getter Of
the crops? Potatoes! He has made
his soil yield, under practical field
conditions, 1876 bushels of good mar
ketable potatoes to the acre. And
he didn't spend dollar for CONNER
cial fertilizer to produce this yield.
He did it all with barnyard manure
and plenty of it! His careful cost-ac-
counting system shows that these po-
tatoes were produced at an expense
Of not quite Is cents per bushel.
"Our farmers, he remarks, can
make good money from potatoes at rs
cents a bushel-but we're thankful
that we don't often have to sell them
at that price.
"Sheep on this pine land farm has
been found decidedly profitable. The
books show that their wool has paid
for their keep and that the lambs
have have been net profit-to say
nothing Of the clearing and fertilizing
services of the flock.
"Clover is the keynote in the pro-
cess of soil-building-the rotation be-
ing oats, fodder corn and potatoes or
field roots. AS hay crop, clover is
main-stay on this sand farm.
"In 1922 says Mr.. Mcclure, our
yield of medium red clover was five
tons to the acre-three tons from the
first cutting and two from the second.
Clover just fits this soil-in fact, we
find it growing wild. Anybody who
thinks that Land producing clover in
this way is not fit for profitable farm
ing has another guess coming"
"And this same despised and I'M
promising soil has been made to yield
as high as 80 tons Of rutabagas to the
acre! The normal yield, however,
has been Is tons. This root crop has
been one of the main featurs Of pro-
fitable milk production on this cut
over farm. All the creatures on the
! place from the cattle to the chickens
thrive on these roots.
"When Mr.. Mcclure started the
North Central experiment station nine
years ago, the cut-over land in that
locality-near Grand Rapids, Minn.,-
was selling at $3.50 an acre. Today
the buyer must pay double that price.
Why? Because the work done by this
pathfinder to the poor mans farm
has shown that the short cut in con-
quering the cut-over pine lands is by
way of the cow path. The cow that
goes round the stump is able to carry
the heavy end of financing the clear
ing operations"
