TEMPERANCE NOTES

RELATION OF TEMPER
ANCE TO MISSIONS
(By Mrs. H. A. Gibson)
Some may ask this question:—
Why is this department needed
in our W. 0. T. U., work.
I answer in order to combat
successfully the greatest foe to
the Kingdom of God, viz: The or
ganized liquor traffic, the opium
scourge, and kindred vices.
Reform is no longer a word
confined to tile vocabulary of
Americans. It is the watch-word
of the hour in China, Japan, Tdi
dia, and wherever Christianity
and civilization have blazed the
way. Millions and millions have
never heard the gospel message
but the Star in the so-called pa
gan lands has arisen, and the
hour is prophetic that “nations
will be bom in a day.”
Take, for instance, Japan,where
a great world’s convention was
held in the year 1907. in the city
of Tokyo. Ift was the ifrst Inter
national Convention of the Young
Men’s Christian Associations
held in the far East. There were
delegates from China. Japan, Ko
rea, India. Ceylon, and many
other nations were represented.
The products of Missionary work
were there, the representative
Christian statesmanship of Orien
tal countries.
One of the newspapers of Ja
pan, in speaking of an address,
the subject of which was “Jesus
Christ, Our Lord,” in its edito
rial department, said: “No great
er impression Was made than by
this vivid picture of the character
a nd purposes of Jesus Christ.
So. of China, the doors are
wide open to the Christian work.
They are reaching out after Wes
tern learning and civilization.
They are longing to know the
truth; and if we don’t send them
the light of the Gospel, they will
take up various moral reforms.
p he opium traffic is doomed in
China, and if onr American peo
ple would show as much determi
nation to put down the liquor
traffic as the Chinese have the
onium traffic, it would not he
■swept off the shores of America.
India is wide awake, taking an
interest in the affairs of other
nations. The nations have point
ed out that India Was tinder
Christian government but this
government, but this government
encourages numbers of soldiers;
it raised its revenue from a mon
opoly of the opium and liquor
traffic. It was a native paper
which said that if the British
government were to be swept
away from India, the chief relic
of its occupation would be the
long rows of whisky bottles.
Where the gospel goes the vi
ces of civilization go also. Trade
and greed of gain are responsi
ble for the devastations of rum
and gin in Africa In this coun
try where the races are undevel
oped and wanting in restraint,
the conditions are much worse
than in other countries. At one
place, where the native Christians
were invited to bring material foi
the foundation of anew church,
gin bottles were brought in abun
dance. Bishop Tugwell gave them
an object less 0 n by forbidding
the erection of a house of Cod on
a gin bottle foundation. What
can we de?
The need of the hour is to
arouse the Christian Church to
help shoulder the responsibility
to use every weapon, whether it
be civic, educational or religious
to meet the foe. Prayer and co-

operation with the church can
meet the ease. , When we realize
that the liquor traffic with its
greed of gain is tearing down
the work that our Missionaries
are doing, w|e see that co-opera
lion with the church of God L
the only road to success. When
the churches unite against !hi
saloon and give their gifts to sup
port the temperance work, as the?
do for missionary and other •b
--jeets, then the liquor traffic 'a
doomed. *
Itt behoves us to strive with
all our strength to abolish the
liquor traffic, the stupendous ob
stacle to missionary success, ami
so I would urge a committee of
one be appointed in every mis
sionary society whose duty it
shall r*e to gather brief temqev
anee facts bearing on the rela
tion of temperance to missions to
read at the monthly missionary
meetings. I also urge that our
missionary societies co-operate
With the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union, which was organ
ized to promote the Gospel of
temperance all around the world.
It truly seems that eo-opera
tion is the keynote of progress;
but there is something that each
of us may do. We can pray for
the work, wear the White Ribbon
and be revolving tem
perance in the locallity where we
live, for the field is the World,
and “the light that shines the
farthest shines the brightest near
er home.”

CATTLE-PLUS fl PURE BRED SIRE
Andrew M. Soule, President.
A herd of thirty cows yielded dairy
products that brought In $5099.44 dur
ing 1912. These cows were fed 180
tons of silage made from corn and
sorghum and valued at $2.50 per ton,
a total of $325 for roughage of this
sort. Four tons of shredded corn
stover valued at $4.00 per ton, 3 tons
of pea-vine hay valued at sls a ton,
making a total of SBO outlay, was fed
as dry roughage. Twenty seven tons
of cotton seed meal at $24.00 per ton
were fed. amounting to $648.00 for
concentiates. For six months in the
year the cattle were on pasture which
was figured at $1.50 per head per
month, a total for pasture, $270.00.
The total expenditure for labor for
feeding and delivery of milk was
$1260 —a higher expense than will or

Inquiry—What is the most economi
cal and profitable dairy ration to use
in Georgia?
Feeding tests conducted at the
Georgia State Colltge of Agriculture
for a period of ninety three days, av
erage weight of cows 800 pounds,
showed that cows fed at the rate of
six pounds of cotton seed meal, thirty
three pounds of com silage and two
and one half pounds of com stover,
produced milk at an average cost of
six cents per gallon, leaving a wider
margin of profits than other food
tests. One group of cattle fed five
pounds of cotton seed meal, thirty-one
pounds of corn silage, five pounds of
dried beet pulp, two and a quarter
pounls com stover, resulted in pro
ducing about a pound more of milk
per day than the first mentioned, but
the cost per gallon was nearly nine
cents per gallon as against a produc
ing cost of six cents in the first in
stance.
Another feeding test that proved
less profitable than the first mention
ed was the use of five pounds of cot
ton seed meal, thirty-three pounds of

wagon and feed of delivery horses
and incidentals such as ice, buckets
and bottles, totaled $447.84. The total
expense and outlay figures $3,281.84
leaving net earnings $1817.60,. or a
profit of $60.58 per cow. This does
not include the value of the manure
produced.
This herd has been largely built
up by use of native cattle mated with
pure bred sires.
This herd and dairy belong to the
College of Agriculture. The principal
lessons taught are that a profitable
herd can be built up by crossing na
tive cows with a pure bred sire, that
the most economical dairy feed Is sil
age for roughness and cotton Beed
meal for concentrates and that the
herd has been a very material fac
tor in building up a worn-out farm
by the contribution of manure.
corn silage , two pounds corn stover
and three pounds of wheat bran. Sub
stituting three pounds of wheat bran
for one pound of cotton seed meal
does not bring the same amount of
milk yield.
In 1910, 300 boyß of the corn clubs
averaged 45 bushels of com to the
acre. In In 1911, 1,000 com clubs boys
averaged 54 bushels of com to the
acre. In 1912, 2,500 boys averaged 60
bushels to the acre in spite of the un
favorable weather. Among the 2,500
of last year, there were 72 boys who
produced an average of 125 bushels
to the acre at a cost of 30 cents per
bushel. Valued at $1 per bushel it
is estimated that the 10,000 boys who
joined the corn clubs last year added
more than $400,000 to the wealth of
the state'. Much of their com sold for
more than $1 per bushel for seed pur
poses.
The average profit for one tenth
of an acre for the girls’ canning clubs
of Georgia during 1912 was $24,88 or
at the rate of $248.80 per acre. In
communities where the girls have
been taught canning by the college
experts Individuals have purchased
canning outfits and gone into the busi
ness with great profit.

Are Being Cured by Vinol. 1
Did you ever cough for a month?
Then just think how distressing it
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, of 87 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
p.wake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, Vinol, is that my cough Is gone.
I can now get a good night’s rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way.”
It Is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, cods’ livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
—at the same time building up the
weakened, run-down system.
Try a bottle of Vinol, with the un
derstanding that your money will
be returned If It does not help you.

ORIGIN OF THE LIFEBOAT.
A Broken Wooden Bowl Gave William
Wouldhave the Idea.
Writers are always fond of dilating
upou the commonplace origin of re
markable inventions. Stilt another in
stance of their accidental nature—and
a most interesting one—is given by
Noet T. Methley In "The Lifeboat and
Its Story."
In the course of a country stroll Wll- 1
liam Wouldhave. the inventor of the
self righting lifeboat, came across a
woman who asked his help in lifting a
heavy vessel of water just drawn
from the well. On the surface of the
water there floated the broken half of
a wooden bowl. Wouldhave was
drawn into conversation, and. like
many another who cannot keep his
hands quiet while he talks, he idly
toyed with the floating piece of wood.
Naturally he turned It over and found
to his surprise that it immediately
righted itself. He inverted it again
with the same result, and since he was
at the time actually at work on the
problem of an unsinknble boat he im
mediately realized the importance of
his chance discovery.
It is an experiment that any one
can readily make for himself. Ail yon
require is the fourth part of a hollow
“prolate spheroid.” or. to put it in more
homely language, the quarter of a eo
coanut shell split from end to end
Put the shell In a bowl of water and
you will find that It will not remain
capsized, but will return at once to an
even keel. In scientific language it
will float with only the convex sur
face downward. *
Any child knows that if you cut up
a broken rubber ball you get five or
six nice little round bottomed, high
ended boats. It remained for William
Wouldhave to discover that these are
all little self righting lifeboats.
