WATER SUPPLY AND
MODERN EDUCATION
Elimination of Needless Farm
Drudgery, First Step In Uplift
Of Women.


sippi Normal College, believes that
the first step in the education of wo-
men in the country should be the
elimination of needless farm drudgery.
No matter how good the rural school
may be, he declares, it cannot help
permanently in making life in the
country attractive unless there goes
with it the movement to Tighten the
labor Of women on the farms.
The water supply in particular
arouses President Cook indignation.
He is convinced that as much as
nine-tenths of the drudgery of wo-
men on the farms is due to anti
quated methods Of handling the water
supply. Here is the way he states
the case in a bulletin Of the United
States Bureau of Education:
The getting Of water from the
source Of supply to the point Of appli-
cation requires more manual labor
than any other item of housekeep-
ing. The water for the kitchen has
to be lifted from the well, carried to
the kitchen, poured into a kettle,
poured out of the kettle into the dish
pan, and from the dishpan out OF
doors. This makes six times the
the water is handled; and a bucket
of water containing 2 gallons, with
the containing vessel, will weigh 20
pounds. When this is handled six
times the total lifting is 1zO pounds.
The cooking Of three meals day on
a meager allowance Of water will ne
cesstate 10 buckets, which will make
for cooking alone, 1000 pounds of
lifting per day. When to this is added
the water necessary for bathing,
scrubbing and the weekly wash, It
Will easily bring the lift per day up
to ton; and the lifting Of ton a
lay will lake the elasticity out of a
step, the bloom out of her
cheek and the enjoyment from her
SOUL"
To eliminate this item of drudgery
5 easy according to President Cook.
All that is necessary is for the farmer
o realize that the farm is also the
,eir to modern invention; An iso-
ated farm can be supplied with a
ystem Of waterworks for an outlay
# about $3.50. Pump, SIS; gasoline
.ngine, $40; tank, $40; bathtub, $40;
iitchen sink, 81; basin, 81; 500 fee
# pipe, $40; valves and installation,
rs. These figures are for tirst-cIaSs
'orcelain-ined fixtures, cheaper fix.
ureS can be had. Such a system, if
ntelligently and compactly planned,
viii not only supply all of the houses
lold needs, but will supply practi-
ally all the farm needs BESIDES"

Government Milk Policy

Washington, D. c., July 25.-The de-
partment of agriculture has issued the
following statement outlining its pol
icy in dealing with the milk situation
in the United States:
ut is enormously supposed that, the
department of agriculture has estab-
lished absolute standards and bac-
terial counts to which all milk coming
under its jurisdiction in interstate COM
merce must comply. The department has
established no absolute standards. 1t
certainly has not and will not estab-
lish any rule declaring that milk con-
tanning less than a certain number of
bacteria per cubic centimeter is good
milk. Under such a standard, milk
containing less than a certain number
OF typhoid or tubeTcle bacilli would
automatically be passed, as coming up
to standard. A simple count of the
bacteria is not in itself sufficient to
determine absolutely its safety. The
nature Of the bacteria as we'll as their
number also must If possible be con-
sidered. The presence of only a few
disease producing bacteria might
make the milk dangerous, while sew
eral thousand harmless bacteria could
be present without necessarily indicat-
ing that the milk was unsafe. The
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-07-25

presence of even a few colon hacilIi
is presumptive evidence that COW ma
nure has been allowed to get into the
milk between the COW and the con-
sumner. Similarly, a high count of
the kinds of bacteria that normally are
present in milk indicates that the
milk is dirty, or that it has not been
held at low temperature or that it
is old
The department in its milk activi-
ties is carrying on an extensive cam
paign of education to help dairymen
produce and market good clean milk
This work is carried on principally
by the dairy division of the bureau of
animal industry. This division eXer-
cises no policing function. 1t has no
power under the law to seize nix or
to prosecute milk dealers. 1t work is
purely educational This division issues
many educational bulletins based upon
its experiments in the economical pro-
duction of clean milk. 1t supplies
farmers with these bulletins and also
sends men into the field to show milk
producers how to make changes with
in their means which will raise the
quality of their milk and also increase
their profits. These demonstrators
have helped milk producers who sup

with the inspectors, the demon
strators visit the dairy farm as friends
of the farmer. They may show him
that certain cows in his herd do not
yield enough milk to pay for their
feed. Or the demonstrators may point
out certain changes in feeding which
will greatly increase the yield. They
help the farmer build an inexpensive
milk house. and show him how a win
dow or two or a waterproof floor for
his barn, or a little whitewash or
more frequent cleaning will actually
increase his profits. Where desired,
they explain methods of pasteuriza-
ton and shipping and handling of
milk. Through this bureau, the de-
partment supplies tuberculin for test
ing herds. These demonstrators have
no power to compel the farmer to
follow their advice-they merely try
to show him that these measures are
for his own good. They do not and
cannot require the farmer to pastuer-
lie his milk. When they find a herd
