DO IT YOURSELF.
One thing becomea Increasingly plain:
Whnt wo wnnt done we mnet do for
ouraclvca. Thlo la not n critlclam of
nnylmdy elae, but a plain atntement of
n fact Right or wrong, pooplo every
where, whntevor they mny any on Sun
day, are looking out for tholr own In-
icr'csts during tho week, and frequently
they are ao intent on this tliat they take
n narrow view of tliolr bueineaa and let
tho Immodlnto advantage which mny in
volvo a disadvantage to othora overahadow
a greater gain which might help othora
na well no thcmaolvca.
If, thon, wo farmoro wait for othora
to itnprovo our rural conditlona we ahall
wait in vain. If we oipcet othora to
work out for ua our market problema
we ahall meet with disappointment. If
wo wnnt a hotter price for cotton wo can
bring it about by our own action and not
by anyono’a elae. In time of money
atroaa we muat depend on our own thrift
and foresight for tho money that ia to
thlo ua over.
Let ua, then, individually and in co
operation with our neighbora whose in
tercets are the aame na our own, work
out our own salvation. Bomo of the
thinga that will contribute to thla aro
self-sustaining farms, personal industry
and thrift, and honest co-operation with
our neighbors In dealing with markot
problems. B. M. Drake, County Agent.
ONE PHASE OF THE RAILROAD
RATE INCREASE.
It hnn nlwnys appeared to mo vory
foolish for farmers to buy hny. On ac
count of its biilkinoas freight rates lmvo
nlwnys been high, in compnriaon with
its vnluo; and when we conBidor that In

lnlwr it would seem that ovory farmer
would mako n point of producing his
own hny.
Tho increase In freight rntea, lyiwover,
gives tills additional emphasis. Rates
on hny from the West run from 4(1 to
410 per ton, according to n statement in
Howard's Dairyman. Thin will in many
coses nearly if not quite cqunl the cost
of production on our own farm, nnd will
prevent nny great docrenso in tho price
of hny to tho consumer. Now is tho

and decays, giving a bad odor and flavor
to tho butter.
A strainer is necessary for straining
tho cream or milk into the churn to re
move lumps; nnd again for-straining the
buttermilk to prevent tho loss of butter.
A butter worker is a great help in mak
ing good butter.
Filler brushes for cleaning utensils are
more satisfactory than cloths, do hotter
work, nnd are more easily kept clean.
A STORY OF FARM PROGRESS.
In the big cities they still think it is
smart to hnvo their ancient "rabo” nnd
“hayseed” jokes.
it bonis all how provincial and nar
row pooplo are when they aro Bhut up
in tho narrow limits of big towns. They
got ao thnt they don’t know how tbo
world progresses.
A week in tho rural towns and on the
farm would open tho eyes of the fellow
who still jokes, as hia father and grand
father did, about “rubes.” What is
more up-to-date anywhere than the fol
lowing:
A Kansas farmer, driving along a
country road the other day in his Big
Six automobile, turned a corner too sharp
ly and went into a ditch. Carried into
a nearby farm house, a farm hand who
had been a soldier in France gave him
first aid nnd found that he heeded skill
ful surgical attention at once. Taking
down the farm house ’phono, tho first-
aider called up a noted surgeon in Kan
sas City, 76 miles away. In ten minutes
the doctor was aboard an airplane and
in leas than an hour he was at the in
jured man’s side. An hour later the
oporntlon was over nnd tho patient wob
comfortably resting. - _
Thus, in less than three hours after
tho event, the life of nn injured man
had bceb saved far back into tho country,
by a skillful surgeon from a great city
many miles away.

WOMEN SHOULD VOTE.
Progressive Farmer.
Pooplo from tho suffrage States are
shocked to find some still regarding sex
n sufficient enuso for dlBfranchisoment.
If wo consider our government a democ
racy it Is woman ’a right to vote.
Women vote moro independently than
men, putting moral considerations above
business expediency. Woman’s interest
centers nround education, public cleanli
ness, morality, health and other subjects
that coucorn human life. I know of no
mnttor of public interest, from roads to
schools, that would not hnvo boon made
better for hnvlng woinon’s side of tho
question presented.
If a woman should bo denied tho right
to Btnnd side by side with her husband
and brothers for tho welfare of all, on
tho ground of physical strength at lonst
one-third of the men would be disquali
fied, especially men over fifty. Woman
is wenker than man in some respects, but
stronger in others. Men think moro about
party; women nbout whether or not tho
candidate is nn upholder of just laws.
How enn women work for schools, fairs,
homes and other th(pgB if sho is to live
in four wnllBf She should go out and
mix with people. Tho purity thnt comes
from ignorance may make a good mother,
but it does not make a wise one, nnd it
is not thnt kind thnt influence the world.
Tho trouble with some of our uplift-
ers is the fact that they are not uplQok-
ers.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER.
The following in taken from bulletin
No. 13, “How to Make Good Butter,”
written by William H. Howell—
Of tho 13,000 tons of farm butter pro
duced in Goorgin end: year, tho prlco
per pound varies greatly and the dif
ference in quality is fully nn groat. Our
work in making butter in Georgia con
vinces us thnt the demand for ronlly good
butter is never satisfied. It costs no
moro to mako butter in tho right way
than to mako it in tho wrong way, nor
does it require nny moro time. By fol
lowing tlie simple rules oul lined in this
bulletin many Georgia women lmvo in
creased the price of butter from 20 to
36 cents and even to 00 cents n pound.
Any one can do ns well. If no butter
at nil is to be sold it should bo good
just the snmo. Tho farmer and Ids
family work hard nnd deserve tho very
best of everything. Tho farm wife must
take prldo in making good butter. She
must not lie too quick to join tbo thou
sands who Bay, “My butter is just na
good ns nny one’s butter nnd I don’t
need to study.” Such nn attitude ninkes
progress impossible. If you nro not get
ting more than 30 cents a pound tho
quality is not whnt it should be.
Tho suggestions which follow lmvo
come from three years experience In mak
ing butter on Goorgin farms nnd under
average fnrm conditions. They nre brief,
lieenuao good farmers nnd their wives
nro nlwnys busy.
Our slogans are: “Make the best but
ter” and “More money for tho man (or
woman) who milks.”
Care of Milk and Cream.—Good milk
or cream properly bandied produces good
butter. No one enn mako good butter
from dirty, off-flavored milk or cream.
Ail tlie milk or c.rcnm is, so the butter
will be. Much of the dirt from the
cow's I rally, which commonly falls into
the ordinary milk pail during milking,
may bo kept out of tlie milk by using
a covered pail.
Churniug whole milk should be dis
couraged on account of the greater loss
of butier in the buttermilk nnd because
better butter can bo made from cream.
The principles of churning, however, nro
tho snmo in butli cases.
Use a Floating Thermometer.—The
thermometer should be the dairyman's
compass. Without it lie is lost. No oue
can guess at the temperature either for
the “turning” or churning of milk or
cream, nnd make good butter. The Delightful Taste, Immediate

Council Bend, Miss., haa taken from
Memphis, Tonn., tho honor of being the
point nt which Do Soto first saw the
mighty Mississippi. Dr. J. C. Rowland
of Jackson, Miss., who has traced De
Soto’s routo clear acrosa Mississippi,
guided by tho narratives of Do Soto’s
companions, in which the topography of
the country was fully described, has lo
cated the groat Indian mound at which
the adventuroua explorer and. his follow
ers camped tho night before they saw tho
Father of Waters. On this, the highest
Indian mound in Mississippi, a monument
will be erected to Do Soto,
Dr. Rowland is convinced that De Soto
firBt beheld the groat river at Council
Bend. The explorer’s famous trip from
the point where Tampa, Fla., is now lo

years before St. Augustine waB founded,
