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

i For the Season.
Wasted back yards are to be. im

Municipal league of New York. Sev

courses in landscape wardening to pre

lacking, flowers and shrubs In pots

of barberry bushes leading up to them.
This is an all-year garden, for the

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

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

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
