Pioneers Battling With Hardships to Blaze
Way for Civilization in Wilds of Phillipines
Weaklings Not Wanted —
Only the Man Who Can
Take Care of Himself Has
Chance to Make Fortune in
Uncle Sam’s Oriental Pos
sessions
DAV AC, Philippine Islands, Feb. 23. —
Baek to nature in the Philippines isn’t
* life of luxury—it is a life full of the
hardships endured by the pioneers who
biased the trail of civilisation through the
virgin forests and across the plains.
Here, in the southernmost Island of
the Philippine group, are over MO hardy
American pioneers, biasing a trail for,
the coming of the citizens of the main-,
land to Uncle Sam's possessions in the I
Orient.
Not unlike the pioneers of the main-j
land, these pioneers of the Orient are
also lighting their battles, with knife
and rifle. Where the Pilgrim fathers
fought the Indian, the Philippine planter
fights the Moro. These people are not
warlike, yet occasionally they run amuck
and then there is trouble which may be
settled Jn a day and then again not for
months and rarely without the sacrifice
of Ilf*. Hemp is the predominant crop,
and dotted here and there, in Mindanao
one sees the home of the planter, the
ha ciend sitting in a tropical garden of
wonderful plants and trees.
Davao la the government’s real bureau
of agriculture, and its steady develop
ment meant much to the future of the
Philippine Islands. It is a land of tollers
and tillers. The longest, whitest and
strongest hemp fiber comes from the
American plantations in Davao.
There is a reason for thia. It is the
man behind the hoe, and his modern
methods—to him who has turned a
gloomy, forest jungle Inhabited only by
deer, boar, and boa constrictor into the
Philippines’ most active garden spot.
Take a launch and travel around the
gulf, stopping at a different A meric n
hacienda every hour or so. That it was
all done in the incredibly short space of
ten years is the really unbelievable part
of the strange but true story.
The original pioneer of pioneers is
Capt. James Burchfield. He came out as
a captain of volunteers, sent his com
pany home and stayed here.
Engineers who come to build bridges
and roads stay. Captains of boats be
come infatuated with the lune of hemp
and stay. Merchants, professionals, all
fall victim to the "hemp fear” and if
they leave they do it because they have
tailed, although the failures are very tew.
Next on the list stands Frank A- Crow
hurst, who with admirable skill molded
the Davao Planters’ association into an
organisation which bids fair to become
the chief agricultural authority of the
Philippine Islands.
And there are others to numerous to
mention, some of whom are still strug
gling with the wilderness. Then there
are others who have given their lives
after the manner of frontiersmen, so that
those who are left might reap the harvest.
Among these are former Governor Bol
ton. who gave his life while going from
one plantation to another: Planters
Sprague. Periot. Christian, Shipley and
Libby. These are Davao’s martrred blaz
ers of the trail. Their lives * were the
sacrifice to be laid on the altar of ad
vancing civflixitlon
It s iw» pines for the weakling, nor
does the government want him.

JOSEPHINE EARNS $4.00 PER DAY
Do you keep a cow?
Would you like to keep a cow?
Have you a hunch |o be a dairyman—
a farmer?
Well, hero’s the story of Josephine—
Chief Josephine, they call her —who is
at present the champion cow of Amer
ica.
This is the milkman’s problem: "How
can I produce the greatest amount of
milk and butter at the least expense?”
Chief Josephine, bred and owned by
the agricultural department of the Uni
versity of Missouri, at Columbia, Mo.,
has come nearer solving this problem
than any other cow on earth.
It costa about 77 cents a day to keep
Josephine, and her dally production is
worth more than >4.
Thus Josephine makes as much each
day as the average mechanic.
She makes more each day than the
average preacher, and almost as much
as the average college professor.
The plumber, the glass blower and
the head waiter have something on Jo
sephine in the way of earnings, but
most of the rest of us might do worse
than to work at Josephine's scale.
Os course, the 77 cents expense does
not include all the little extra atten
tion which Josephine receives from Van
Note, foreman of the dairy barns, but
as an offset to this she is the mother
of a calf valued at >3.000, which is not
Included In the >4 estimate of her pro
duct.
The year's test which Josephine is
now undergoing will end January 17,
and unless sbe falls below her present
daily average, she will exceed the
world's record.
In the first four months of the test
Josephine yielded 11,536 pounds of milk,
or nearly ten times her own weight.
The highest single day’s yield was
110 1-2 pounds.
When half of the strenuous year had
rolled around, Josephine had to her
credit a product of 16,834 pounds of
milk. This exceeded her only real com
petitor, a Wisconsin cow, named Jo
hanna. by 1,293 pounds.
At eight months Josephine still easily
held the world's record, of 21,698
pounds of milk. During the entire eight
months she nMdntained a daily average
of 89 pounds, or 42 quart*—lo 1-2 gal
lon*
Beginning with the ninth month her
record began to drop perceptibly, but
at the end of the month she was still
more than a ton ahead of her competi
tor.
Chief Josephine is now a little over
eight years old, and is of the Holstein
breed, otherwise known as Frisian or
Holland.
THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911.
GIANT DAVAO HUMP PLANTS.
NATIVE BALING HEMP.
Os course, Josephine’s diet is carefully
and systematically looked after. She
is fed alfalfa hay and corn silage for
coarse feed, and for grain she is given
a mixture of corn, bran, linseed meal
and cottonseed meal. The amount she
requires of each is carefully computed
from the chemical composition of the
feeds.
During the warm summer months Jo
sephine consumed about 30 gallons of
water dally. Just now half or less of
this amount is all that she calls for.
The water is warmed to a temperature
of about 70 degrees, which has been
found to give best returns in milk.
Through the whole routine of her
dally life, Josephine is never forced to
do anything; above all, she is never
struck or excited. Up to a few weeks
ago, she was milked four times each
day. Now one milking has been dis
continued! w
The question today is: •'Will Jose
phine win the world’s championship?”
Three month* ago the answer to this
question would have been emphatically
in the affirmative. But .today there is
an air of uneasiness out at the state
farm. She is champion still, but it re
mains to be seen whether she remains
champion at the end of the twelve
month. • *
Josephine is no freak. What she has
done can be repeated in any normal
milk-giving cow.
It is a fact that any cow can be de
veloped to give milk beyond what is
today considered a good* average. It
is largely because dairymen are Ignorant
of the latent possibilities of their herds
that the present average is so low.
All that is required for a start is a
cow that is normal in every respect.
From this point man Is the chief factor
—man with a training such as is im
parted at the college of agriculture of
the University of Missouri, and at other
like colleges the country over.

Cottolene
Deal with the Grocer who sells Cottolene
S)ttolene is the original vegetable-oil cooking fat. i
in a class by itself, and imitations approach it
in claims —not in quality.
has come to our notice that cheap and inferior
imitations are being offered the public in some
communities as "just as good” as Cottolene.
There is no economy in buying such products
—even at a few cents less per pail than Cotto
lene is sold for. And this is why:
These products are of inferior grade, and
often made amid questionable surroundings.
Cottolene, being richer, will go one-third
farther than any of these products, lard or
cooking butter, and a few cent’s saving at the
start is not a saving in the end, but false
economy.
There’s but one Cottolene, and we make it.
Substitutes are and dear at any
price. It pays to deal with the grocer who sells Cottolene, because
ne is most likely to sell the best of everything.
