Country Folks 
(Continued from page 1171) 
his mother, abusing her shamefully. But 
the 'boy saved up from his hens until he 
had over $100 in the bank to go away to 
school on. The county club leader was 
interested in the case, and one day in¬ 
quired of the bank how the savings were 
coming on. He was astonished to learn 
that the whole sum had been drawn out 
of the bank. The boy had taken and used 
it to 'build a small lean-to on their house, 
so that he might sleep near the kitchen 
and help protect his mother. A little 
later a woman in town who had heard 
about the boy offered him a fine chance 
to work and go to school, but he wrote 
her back that he thought his place was 
with his mother. 
Too Old. —But here is a man who 
wants to sell the Parson a cow. Yes, a 
new milk cow. It is a wonderful cow. It 
has never missed a milking since its first 
calf. How old is the cow? “Oh, around 
20,” says the man. The Parson hesitates 
to buy a cow only 20 years old! And 
yet, joking aside, it does seem to be a 
fact that this cow has never missed a 
single milking and practically never 
missed having a calf each year. The milk 
seems to be perfectly good, and the fam¬ 
ily uses it every single milking, before 
and after calving, just the same. This 
man has done so for four years, and he 
says the man from whom he bought her 
toid him he did the same. The present 
owner raised for himself a heifer that is 
now giving milk, thinking that the old 
cow might play out. But it was unneces¬ 
sary, as she has freshened again and go¬ 
ing strong as ever. Why suspect a cow 
that has never missed a milking for 20 
years! REV. GEO.B.GILBERT. 
Waterproofing Cellar 
In the July 19 issue is an article on 
“How to Waterproof a Cellar.” I had 
a wet cellar. I lowered it one foot and 
then I dug trenches running from the 
four corners to the center to connect 
with the main outlet in these trenches. 
I put two-inch tile to connect with the 
main outlet, and filled the trenches with 
coarse gravel or small cobble stones, and 
laid my cement bottom on top. You 
must have fall enough to carry off the 
water. My cellar is as dry as a powder- 
house. II. c. G.

Milk i 
—with a cloth or fine mesh wire 
screen strainer when neither of 
them can possibly remove ALL the 
dirt from the milk? And you can’t 
get top-notch prices for milk that 
is not clean. 
Dr. Clark’s 
Purity Milk Strainer 
is guaranteed to re¬ 
move ALL dirt, 
dust, muck and 
other sedi¬ 
ment from 
milk— 
matter 
how fine—or 
your money 
refunded. No 
other strainer 
made can do that. 
HERE’S WHY: 
The Purity 
Strainer is fitted 
with a sterilized 
cotton pad, tightly 
clamped to bottom, 
making it necessary 
for milk to go 
THROUGH the cotton pad, which 
removes every particle of dirt. 
Used and endorsed by Agricultural Colleges 
and Dairy Inspectors, Borden’s, VanCamp’a, 
Carnation, Mohawk, and Sheffield Farms 
Dairies. 
Made in two sizes—10 quart and 18 
quart. If you want clean milk, ask 
your dealer for the Purity Strainer, or 
write for circular and prices.
