THE DEMAND
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Daniel S. Gordon Says Puritan
Treatment of Feminine Sex
Is Responsible.
Contrasts Attitude of That Glass of
First Settlers With Cava-
liers of South.

Discussing The Puritan and the Cava-
Society last evening, Daniel Smith Gordon
declared that the former is responsible
Tor the fact that woman is today in a l
parts of the country demanding suf-
frage. The cavalier of the southland, he
said, has ever regarded woman as a su-
perior being, and as result the women
of the south are not so aroused by the
suffrage argument as those of the north
and east, where the Puritan settled in
the early days of the colonies
Every Puritan, said Mr. Gordon,
from John Milton down to the most in
significant settler of that persuasion in
the United States in his heart and in his
literature has ever held woman as in
ferior being to men.
Women Show Resentment.
Their women. under the influence of
education and progress are resenting that
injustice, are asserting themselves and
demanding that. even though their hearts
be not satisfied, at least they shall have
an equal share of political rights
Cavalier women. on the other hand.
their men equality in every respect eX-
cept morality. and in morality a higher
place. are satisfied with their condition
in life. The suffragette idea does not ap-
peal to them.
"one-half of our population are women
and for whatever of courtesy or extra
consideration the female half of our
people have for the male half they can
thank the cavalier who brought that
quality with him from Europe to blossom,
and flower in the new world
Discussion of Theories.
Considering the living theories of the
Puritan and cavalier and the manner of
their working out In this country, Mr..
Gordon repeated statement of Henry
w. Grady. orator. of Georgia: When
the Puritan was cutting off mems ears
for paying attention to Young women
without the approval of their parents and
they were fining a man for kissing even
his own wife Sunday. the cavalier was
courting everything i'll sight every day
in the week and Sunday. too"
Another southeEner. Mr. Gordon said,
once spoke thus after visit to Boston.
"Courting a Puritan maiden was like
sitting on a block of ice, in the month
December. cracking hailstones between
the teeth
Even George Cabot Lodge, father of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts," Mr.. Gordon said, does not
attempt to defend in his writings, the
treatment of woman accorded by the
Puritan.
Differences Noted.
while the Puritan has been spending
a large portion of his time ana energy
filling the shelves of our public libraries
with the ponderous volumes of his local
history and his ancestors" said Mr..
Gordon, the cavalier has been filling

REVENUE CUTTER FORCE
GETS BREATHING SPELL
Seas of Summer Calmness Prevail
Along the Atlantic
Seaboard.
Hard Days Expected in February
and March-News of the
Servite.

Seas of almost summer calmness along
the Atlantic seaboard, particularly along
the north Atlantic, have given the Of
f1cers and men of the revenue cutters in
that section an opportunity to have
needed rest from their hard work dur
ing the greater part of January. Though
the vessels of the service have been kept
constantly on patrol. except for one small
fwo-masted schooner which the cutter
Acushnet hoated from a shoal IN Nan

have been confined to the south Atlantic.
Seven weeks still remain in the winter
cruising season. and as the latter part
of February and the month of March are
generally the most tempestuous of the
winter, the men on the cutters need rest
for the strenuous work still before them
before the coming of the quiet spring

IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS
To Prevent Disease Cows Should b
Carefully Brushed and cieansed
at Least Twice Every Week.

In the prevention of disease too
much stress cannot he placed upon the
Importance of cleanliness. For this
reason the COWS should be brushed and
cleansed at least twice week, partic-
ularly on those parts that are beyond
the reach of the tongue. Whatever
benefit may come from the COW licking
herself when she Is clean, there is
more or less danger from that source
when the COWS are kept inside, and
have no way OF cleaning their bodies
except with their tongues when turned
out for water and exercise.
At certain times during the year and
at certain stages of condition and
health the hair comes off in great
abundance. At such times, when the
animals lick themselves, much of the
hair gets into their stomachs and there
Ii danger Of its forming hard mass
that will severely injure them. This
danger is minimized by brushing the
COWS carefully. 1t should be done daily
while the COWS are shedding their
coats, for at this time there Is more or
less irritation OF the skin that prompts
the animals to lick their bodies more
persistently than at other times. BY
brushing them In careful manner this
irritation is lessened and the falling
hair Is removed beyond tho reach of
their tongues.

CONTROL RICHNESS IN CREAM
but When Adjusted Properly
There VIII 30 Variations.

The most important factor conrtol-
ing the richness In cream is the cream
screw in the separator, but even when
that Is adjusted properly there will be
some variations in the percentage Of
fat in the cream. Ordinarily in winter
and when cows are more nearly dry
they are likely to give richer milk
than when fresh and on June pasture.
Accordingly, cream for the winter will
at times show variation of about
seven per cent. over that produced
during the summer months
Not running separator at uniform
speed will also affect the cream, be-
cause the slower the separator bowl
rotates 1t will affect the cream.
If too much skimmilk or water is
used in flushing out the bowl after
each time the separator is used the
cream will be thinner Use no more
than just necessary to free the bowl
from cream.
Sometimes the skimmilk or the
cream becomes clogged, interfering
with the free passage of either cream
or the skimmilk through their re-
spective openings These outlets
should be examined frequently.

LOOKING AFTER YOUNG s0Ws
Best Plan is to Have Them Farrow At
ter Grass and Glover Start to
Secure Good Pasturage.

In nearly all cases the first litter is
the hardest draft on the system of the
dam and for this reason, II no other,
the young sows should have special
care. 1t is best, so far as can be done
to have the young sows farrow after
grass and clover have made a good
start, as there are few things better,
than plenty of good pasturage, to en-
able dam to produce milk, and a
young SOW If she is to suckle her lit
ter of pigs well, must have food we'll
adapted to milk production. A SOW
should always be so gentle that in
case it becomes necessary, she can be
handled without unduly exciting her.
1t is never good policy to disturb a
SOW at narrowing, unless absolutely
necessary AS a precaution against
her eating her pigs, she should have a
light opening ration for few days be-
fore narrowing and then bucket of
warm slop ready for her whenever she
gets up. Be careful about over-feed-
ing her for the first three or four days
and then gradually increase her ra-
tions until she is given all that she
will readily eat up clean. After the
pigs are a week old, she may be al
lowed the run of pasture. feeding
slop regularly at least two times a day
and three times is still better. Be
careful to feed regularly. Stop stuff
milk or wheat bran, oil meal and milk
are hard to beat and are all good
foods for breeding sows.

PREPARE STOCK FOR MARKET
Experience Has Shown That There 10
More Growth the First Year Than
Second-keep Pushing.

In preparing stock for the market
too much stress cannot be laid upon
rapid development of the animal. Elk
perience has shown that in proportion
to the food consumed by young ami
mails, there is more growth the first
year than the second, and more the
second year than the third, and with
each increasing year the increase In
weight gets smaller in proportion to
the amount of food consumed, conse-
quently 1t is very essential that all
young animals be kept thrifty and
growing; especially is this true with
all animals intended for market. This
is seen in the production of baby beef,
which is one of the most profitable
businesses to engage in. A quick
growth, and an early maturity, returns
the best profit among cattle, swine.
sheep and poultry. The intelligent
farmer. in preparing his stock for
market, should always bear in mind
the Importance of pushing his stock
placed on the market Every day
should see gain in weight along the
lines of profit, yet at the same time
this crowding should not be oyerdone
There Is danger of injuring animals by
oyerfeeding, especially when young II,
however, the feed ratione are properly
made, looking toward just enough and
not too little, or to much. good results
may be expected In the end.
