i Prominent Man of Mobile, Ala., Gives Testimony to Good Work i by Press. "The Mobile chamber of commerce ?lor the last couple of years has not 'taken any page space In newspapers; i trat we have had occasion recently to have a great deal of newspaper pub licity on several matters and the re sults from it have been far beyond our expectations. "Within the last two weeks we had a campaign for the raising of better live stock, which was commented on by the newspapers throughout the country, and brought up Bcores of in quiries from all parts of the United States. Without this newspaper pub licity our campaign would have been for naught, as it was through tho newspapers that the interest was aroused, and today everyone in thia section is talking cattle raising. "Another instance: "Some weeks ago we inaugurated a movement to celebrate a day in honor of the Satsuma orange, grown in this section, which Is a recent industry. Our purpose was to advertise it through the stores, hotels, etc. We did not think our first attempt would bo a big success, but the newspapers took np the matter with a vim, and the attendance from surrounding sec tions was far in excess of what we anticipated. , "This was all accomplished entirely by the newspapers, and without their co-operation we do not believe we could have had such success." George G. Card, secretary of Mobile Chamber of Commerce. IMPROVING THE BACK YARD Women's Municipal League of New ' York ls Making Elaborate Plans i For the Season. Wasted back yards are to be. im proved by members of the Women's Municipal league of New York. Sev ;eral of the members have taken courses in landscape wardening to pre pare themselves for the work of plan rfilng other people's back yards. Even :fhe tiniest space of earth may be cul tivated in some way, and where soil is lacking, flowers and shrubs In pots ;can be used with good effect. I A specimen garden is described by jira. 'Robertson-Jones_^irnifa^n fB^BfrafQuiting"' committee of * the 'league. First of ell, the back fence jis to be painted green, and a garden seat of lighter green put at the cen Iter. Trellises for honeysuckle are at either side. Stone .lars containing small box trees will mount guard over each side of the path, with rows of barberry bushes leading up to them. This is an all-year garden, for the honeysuckle leaves stay on until De cember, box is an evergreen .and the barberry bushes have leaves in sum mer and red berries in winter. The i cost of this garden complete is about {$40, including labor, plants, painting. ?bench and jars. Members of the league are trying ito induce the owners of whole groups of houses to install these miniature j gardens, so that each family may have lits own small rest-spot and play-space ?for the children. i _ WVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION ?Annual Clean-Up Exercises Have Been ; Taken Up With Enthusiasm That ls Commendable. : The good influence of the painters .as a factor for health and cleanli ness is manifested in the statement 'that largely through the persuasion of the national organization 2,200 cities and towns have begun annual clean-up enterprises, and this sea son it is expected that about 800 more will adopt the slogan. With 3,000 cit ies and towns scouring and scrubbing and painting simultaneously it may be said that the United States has got the habit of cleanliness. This habU once formed will endure. It will make for a healthier, better country. It wiH set a standard of appearance and sanitation that must necessarily result in the years to come in better citizen ship, through sounder, health and a more definite consideration for the general welfare, j Washington has "been cleaned up each spring during re cent years and is proud to have been one of the first to go after the disease carrying fly and to rout out its breed ing places. It has yet to acquire the painting habit, but that will surely follow. Had No Chsnce to Grow. Trees planted along the main streets of a Massachusetts city failed to show any growth for two successive years. Then some of them were dug up to be transplanted, and it was found that .the trees had been planted just as they came from the nursery, xr'th the roots all bunched together mat wrapped in burlap. Planning fer G'od Housing. Architects and ora .'tsmen have been invited to take part in an architec tural competition instituted by the housing ?rommissior. of the city of LOB Angeles to secure plans for tenement houses. BREEDING OF DAIRY CATTLE Community Plan Has Many Advan tages-Stimulates Friendly Rivalry Among Dairymen. (By JAMES PHILAN of New York in Kimball's Dairyman.) Where two or more men start to breed the same kind of dairy cattle in the same neighborhood, I feel sure that if they are men that can get to gether, they will find it to their ad vantage to do so. In the case of small herds the cost of a good bull may seem quite an item. If two or Fine Herd of Dalry Cows. more men buy a bull1 together, they may be able to get a better bull than either would own Individually and still have money to buy females. Thero are other advantages, one of which is that the more daughters a bull may have the better he may be judged as a sire. In the case of men who ara doing official test work this has considerable advertising value. Another advantage is that when dif ferent neighbors watch tho growth of their neighbors' calves and young stock they will try not to let the other fellow's stock get the start of theirs. This will result in better growth and better developed cattle. To show that I practice what I preach I will say I have only one cow In my herd that was sired by a bull owned exclusively by myself. At present I have a breeding interest in three different bulls that I have used in the last year. This would seem to indicate that I intend to co-operate with my neighbors. I believe that the greatest advan tage of community breeding will re sult from friendly rivalry in the grow ing and development of the stock, and then from good team work in the sell ing of the same. USE FOR A HAND SEPARATOR Less Work Necessary in Handling L Milk With Device Than Without -^MachTn^SaVeTWaReT A hand separator saves all waste of butterfat' What is the use of feeding cows good corn, hay and other stuff j that costs money and then allowing the product to go.to waste? Less work is necessary to handle milk with the separator than without, because there are fewer utensils to be i used and the skim milk may be fed to j the pigs and calves and chickens at : once, and does not haye to be handled again. Forty or fifty dollars will buy a good separator, big enough for a herd of ' four or five cows, and it will save its I cost the first year If properly cared j for. a .separator is good for ten years, j The cream from a separator will1 bring more money because it is uni- j form in richness, and is sweeter be cause, as it is separated while the milk is warm and fresh, it does not absorb odors as it would if left utanding around. The separator saves hauling milk to the creamery and then hauling the skim milk back to the farm. Then skim milk hauled any considerable dis tance becomes cold and sometimes dirty and tainted and not fit to feed. If a farmer has. ten or more cows he will require a larger separator-one that will handle say 150 pounds of milk in about fifteen minutes, and he then should have a small gasoline engine to do the work. It is quicker and cheaper than hand power. CAP PROTECTS MILK BOTTLE Device, Just Placed on Market, Aids in Keeping Out Dirt and Flies Liquid' Kept Airtight. In order to keep milk bottles, while in use, free from dirt and flies, a sani tary milk bottle cap has been placed on the market. This Is arranged so Cap Protects Milk. that by moving the stop, milk may be poured without difficulty. When closed, the milk is kept almost air tight Maintain Cow's Efficiency. Each cow in the dairyman's herd is a plant that makes the most profit when running at its highest efficiency. To maintain the maximum efficiency in each cow is a large part of the dairyman's business. A Medicine Chest For 25 c. In this chest you have an excel lent remedy for Toothache, Bruises, Sprains, Stiff Neck, Backache, Neu ralgia, Rheumatism and for most emergencies. One 25c. bottle of Sloan's Liniment does it all-this because these ailments are symp toms, not diseases, and are caused by congestion and inflammation. If you doubt, ask those who use Sloan's Liniment, or batter still, buy a 25c. bottle and prove it. All Drug gists -S Griff is Grove Picnic.
