dairyman can i'll afford to spend his
time In carrying water in Il pail to
cool his milk and wash his utensils.
For the proper sterilization Of utep

Creamery operators can we'll afford
to agitate this question among their
patrons and interest them In building
an fcehouse. Ice On the farm would
not only improve the quality Of cream
delivered to the creamery. but would
at the same time effect saving in
country homes by preserving perisha-
BILE supplies. Nearly every city resi-
dent buys ice regularly at a cost vary
ing from So to $40 per ton. while but
few people living in the country avail
themselves of this luxury when they
can get 1t for the cost of harvesting
and storing. Ice Is harvested at u
season when most dairymen have lei

surface water percolating through it to
carry contamination into the we'll.
In the selection. location and sinking
of a well it is always a good idea to
consider permanence in addition to
safety. The well should penetrate to a
level below that of the ground water
surface In the driest seasons.
Unpolluted springs are, as a rule.
good sources of water supply, since the
water usually comes from great depths
within the rock or is filtered through
many layers of sand and gravel. How
ever. springs are subject to pollution
from the same sources as wells and
should be closely watched in this re-
spect. Farm spring supplies are often
polluted by the drainage from build
ings and stock pens. Spring water
supplies from limestone are also sub
ject to pollution from distant garbage
and sewage dumps in sink holes. The
same precautions should be taken for
safeguarding spring supplies as in the
case of wells, and in addition the
spring should always be fenced to keep
out stock.

IMPROVING QUALITY
OF CREAM AND BUTTER

Prepared by the dairy division. United
States department Of agriculture
Experiments have shown that the
immediate and thorough cooling OF
fresh milk or cream greatly retards
sour1ng and the development Of OBJ
jectionable f1avors which are in a large
measure responsible for the poor quail
ty of butter made In creameries
throughout the country.
There are many instances where the
market price Of butter has been nota-
bly, increased because of improved raw
material, and there are many other in,
stances where there is Il market for
sweet cream or ice cream that pre-
MUM of 5 to 10 cents per pound ad
ditional has been paid by creameries
to patrons furnishing sweet, clean Tia
vored cream. This increase In price
means an additional income Of $lnO to
$500 per year on herd Of twenty av-
erage cows. Most dairymen are anx-
ious to increase their profits. but often
fail to understand how to secure such
results without greatly increasing the
cost of production.
In some sections Of the country these
results have been accomplished in a
very satisfactory manner by cooling

dairy herds do not make it practice
to use the best sires possible in their
work.
1t often happens that man who is
progressive enough to introduce a high
class sire into community is given
little recognition for his progressive
spirit. When it becomes necessary to
dispose Of the sire he oftentimes must
send him to the market for beef. Our
correspondent apparently had neigh
Dor who recognized and grasped the
opportunity to secure Il tried sire to
head his herd.
1t often happens that man buying
a young male must dispose of him be-
fore he Is in Il position to know just
how good he may be as breeder. A
notable instance along this line occur
red at the Missouri experiment station
some years ago. registered Jersey
bull was sold ut an ordinary price for
q good registered bull. and later it de-
veloped when his heifers came into
full production that he was one of the
most remarkable producers Of the
breed.
Where several men in community
are interested in the same breed such
sacrifices as this need seldom occur.
"A good sire may be kept in n commu-
nifty long enough to determine his mer-
1t as breeder.

Prepared by United States department of

A pure water supply is one of the
most important factors in farm life TO-
day. as typhoid fever. dysentery and
! other disorders may be carried by i'm
pure waters. Farm water supplies are
very subject to pollution. OF seventy
nine typical water supplies in Mime
sofa investigations showed that TWEEN
ty We're good and fifty-nine polluted.
twenty-five of those polluted were
bad only because of poor surface pro-
lection and could easily have been
made safe. Practically all the surface
supplies were polluted. During these
| investigations twenty-three of the
farms examined showed a record of
typhoid fever.
Surface water supplies should not be
, used for household purposes or for
washing milk cans. They should not
even be used for laundry purposes I'M
less no other supply Is availa BILE Rain
water from the roof is often polluted
by dust. leaves and the droppings from
birds. Any person who drinks water
from surface supplies endangers his
health il such supplies are not ade-
quately protected and then purified.
Where underground waters are hard
TO obtain cisterns may be used where
the store of rainwater and surface sun
plies will be filtered and partially puri-
fed.
The cistern should be of water tight
construction to prevent leakage and
to prevent pollution from the neighbor-
Ing soil. 1t should have an overflow
drain and tight cover. There should
also be suitable provision for straining
or filtering the water previous to its
entrance to the cistern
Farm wells are often polluted from
local sources. They are often located
for convenience near the barn or stable
or close to the back door, out of which
household Stops are thrown. The soil

To go out with a message such as
this and seek for others the same

is certainly womans work, in its
highest and most ennobling sense.
When on Tuesday evening, December
Sth, in the San Carlos auditorium
Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs spoke un-
der the auspices of the Florida Equal
Suffrage Association, her audience
thrilled at the message she brought
It was a wonderful message won
derfully delivered. 1t sounded a note
so far reaching. so full of the call to
peace, so fraught with possibilities for
the women and the children of this
country, that the great audience was
swept from apathy to interest, from
interest to enthusiasm, and from en-
thusiasm to ardor, until when Mrs.
Jacobs left the stage to meet and
greet the people of Pensacola and the
visitors who had heard her, it was not
a reception she held but an ovation
that she received, as men and women
crowded aoout her for the privilege OF
shaking hands with her-a woman
whose splendid intelligence, perfect
poise, valiant spirit, beauty and charm
had so captured her audience that

only the duty OF the Southern men to
give their women the ballot, but she
believes that unlescs they do give their
women the ballot the force of the
movement is now so great that through
the federal government the women Of
the South will receive what their own
men have blindly and selfishly re-
fused to give.
That is the reason Mrs. Jacobs is
asking that the suffrage forces con.
centrate on Alabama. The Alabama
legislature meets only once every four
years and Mrs. Jacobs believes that,
unless the women of Alabama are CIV
en- the ballot by their next legislature.
the state will not have the privilege of
comforting upon them the ballot, but
before another legislative body con-
venes, Alabama will have been swept
into the suffrage ranks by the force OF
a federal amendment, and the women
of Alabama viii have had the humilia-
ton of being forced to take their
statehood from men outside their own
state.
Mrs. Jacobs reminded the men who
heard her that the men of the South
through an amendmene- to their state
constitution could not only give their
women what was rightfully theirs, but
could save themselves this humiliation.
Mrs. Jacobs made many friends in
Pensacola AS president Of the Ala
bama Equal Suffrage Association, ana
before assuming this office, as presi-
dent Of the Birmingham Equal Suf-
frage League, Mrs. Jacobs has done
splendid work for the suffrage cause.
Eloquent, beautiful and gowned in
perfect taste, she made an impression
while in Pensacola that not only will
add many recruits to the suffrage
ranks, but which has given her a list
Of acquaintances who count it a priv
iIege to have had the honor to hear
and to meet, even so briefly woman
who represents with so much charm,

Conference, at Chattanooga, and the
annual convention of the national suf-
frage association recently convened in
