. i asked Mr. Thompson to take me
,to his dairy ranch. The next after-
noon found us en route to Deer Island,
'where the Clover Leaf Dairy ranch is
located. The road passes beside . Sau
jvie's Island, through St Helens and on
;,to Deer Island, $8 miles distant from
Portland,- krf.vvin":vi'
From the front porch of ;tha farm
house one sees a beautiful lake fn the

- The farm bouse Is on the crest of
rolling bill To the right is a thrif
ty garden, While across the fence is a
16 acre field Of- kale. Beyond the lawn
with its rose bordered path is an orchard
f young peach trees and pears:
"Before I take you through the dairy
barns," said Mr. Thompson, "I want to
show you something of this farm. I
bought it a few years ago for US an
acre. There are about' 435 acres here.
It was very much in the rough rail
' fences .and barbed wire gates, timber
'slashed and brush everywhere. I saw
, possibilities In It - Merrill creek flows
' through Merrill valley across the ranch.
It was an overgrown jungle when I
; bought it ' Look at it now and I have
Only started. Walt a few years. '
"For a long time I .put in a thousand
' Hollars a month '' clearing the plane.
Borne months the payroll amounted to
$2600. ,1 knew that every cent put In
- was an investment, not an expense.
: " The government furnished me 60,000
trout fry to stock Merrill creek. That
may seem to have very little to do with
mannings dairy ranch; but It all makes
lor beauty and value of the place,
"The delightful feature here is that
' very year our soil Is richer. We are
building It up, not 'robbing it of its
4 fertility. I have a manure spreader
and all of the manure from my 1$6 oows
and young belfers goes back on the
Viand.- 1
"I long ago discovered that it is false
economy to save money in the quality
of your stock. For instance, that Duroo
Jersey Red boar cost me $IQ0, but I
- get bis cost back in bis progeny. I get
. 125 apiece for the young boars and the
pigs I raise develop faster and. make
i quicker growth. , In other words, I can
turn them into meat much sooner than
the ordinary pigs."
'..V';' Con Handled With Care.
f Wa went to the barn. The hallway
i through the center Is of concrete slop
ing slightly from each end toward the
i center. The barn Is light, airy and
r. there is absolutely no odor. On each
aide was a row of 40 or 60 cows. They
were 'Standing on wooden floors built

about three feet from the floor -was a
pall of water, , with an automatlo float
valve to keep the water always at the
-'game level.-: ' v v '' y
v - "That seems like a little thing." said
1 . Mr. Thompson. ' "My neighbors thought
, it was a fad. Yet that automatlo wa
' ter pall keeping as it does, elear, fresh
water always before the cow, Increased
i our milk production 10 per cent and
ithat means a good deal in our monthly
I milk check-;1 We sell over $2000 worth
of milk a month, our yearly Income
elng In excess Of $25,000," . '
' As soon ' as the cows are milked the
" sjarn is scrubbed and flushed out The
, walls and all exposed parts are sprayed.
(The cows themselves are sprayed daily
to keep off the . flies. - About an hour
''.,' before milking time their flanks and
'udders are carefully washed with a dls

' of cowl they looked as carefully brushed
and tended as a string of race horses.
.',Vi '"Let tne see your hands," said Mr.
Thompson to one milkman . after au
" other. "You see we practice the sys
.' tern of milking with dry hands and you
' will notice 'the men milk through a
" cheesecloth eoreen which covers. tho
milk bucket." We stopped in front of
. a beautifully sleek cow. The milker
- stopped and said, "This is" Princess. She
' gave eight gallons a day when fresh,
. but ws have been milking her fpr eight
,'' months and she is giving four gallons
a day now." We walked down the line
. . "1'his l Dolly o Gray,'' Mid Mr,

'' the best milker In the state. I suppose
you have noticed. that I have a line ot
. Jersey, a line of Guernseys and a lint
of Holsteins. We. have a regular sys
tem for combining - their milk. The
milk of one, Guernsey and one Jersay
is combined with the milk of four , Hol
steins. The Guernsey gives the rich
creamy" taste, -the Jersey gives ,tht
cream or butter fat and the Holsteln
gives the quantity, Here Is Pet, a cow

Leaving the oows we went to' what

we . went . to ; the "grammar school,
where the calves six or eight montn

"Here is a maternity ward and that

is spending a few days here visiting
her mother and sister. Early this week
Mrs. Gabriel and her mother will leave
for California, where they will pass
the winter.
Mrs. Gabriel spent several weeks In
Oregon last year taking a prominent
part in the suffrage campaign by speak
ing In Portland and neighboring eitles,
Biie returned east full of enthusiasm
over the ostcome of the campaign here
and has been giving, muoh of her time
to furthering the interests of sufrrage
In New York.
"And now we New York , women are
hoping, yes even expecting, to have
suffrage by 1816. I am very proud to
belong to the oldest woman ' suffrage
organisation In the United States, the
New York State Woman Suffrage or
ganisatlon, which was started more than
twenty years ago by Susan B. . Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy B.
Stone, and now we feel that the task
so snlendldlvi begun by those women
Is nearly finished. Never before has
sentiment been so strong for suffrage
as it is today. '
"That famous march of ths New
York suffragettes to Washington was
a history maker. Every state in the
Union was represented at that great
gathering and our reception at tho
hands of the senators in the great mar
ble hall was nothing short of an In
spiration. Representatives of each
state presented a petition to the senate
asking - that body to act favorably on
the amendment to the constitution fa
voring equal suffrage throughout the
United States. I had the honor of car
rying the New York petition. All of
these petitions were presented to your
Senator Chamberlain.
"More than twenty-five of the sena
tors. Including Senator Lane, spoke in
favor of the bill. Senator La Follette
said in the course of his speech that
when the bill came up he would ask
the privilege of answering all argu
ments against it. Senator Lewis, of
Illinois, and the senators from Michi
gan and Ohio were among those mak
ing most enthusiastic speeches. Sen
ator Owen, of Oklahoma, generally .con
ceded to be the most . handsome man In
the senate, admitted that there was
nothing for the senators to do but fall

the evening there was a banquet with

Welfare Work for Women. ' ,
"The Auxiliary to the Door of Hope
Home, a Salvation Army institution, is -a
thing which a ' number of us are
identified with, for it is one of the
most worthy and practical of all tie
institutions who are doing rescue work.i
It Is truly a door f hope, for the door
swings ever open. No girl ,or woman,
is too degraded to be taken in and
cared for there. Most of the girls re
ceived there are expectant mothers and
of these 80 per . cent are reformed and .
go forth to lead clean, decent ; liven. .
They are taught how to earn their liv
ings and places are found for them ,
where they may have their little ones
with them. Between 60 and 76 girls,
former Inmates of the home, who are ,
now married or have - positions, coo- ,
tributed last year more-than $700 to-.,
ward the support of the home. . - x
"A splendid work is also being done
by Maud Miner at the Waverly Home, ,
where girls who sre found to be taking ,
the first steps downward are cared for.
Many of them are girls who are ruj
nln gaway from home, others are wlt
nM . in white slave cases. An or
ganised effort is made to protect glrla
who are employed .' at nigni or urn y
otherwise in danger in any way. ,-
"The minimum wage and white Slav,
ery are closely related, for Instance in
the Bedford ; f eformatory, where girls
are sent' for a period of three years. ,
Out of 600 girls whose statistics Were
taken. 40 per cent had not passed the
fourth grade In the' public schools. One
of the moBt gigantic problems facing ,
the American people today is the lac ;
of efficiency in-the publio school sys
tem in not preparing our boys and girls
to be self supporting. The domestlo
courses are fitted only for people of;
large Incomes. What we want is to
snow how to live within our Incomes,
most of which are small, i, The whole
system is, according to my knowleJg,
run for show rather than to train chil
dren for the every day duties and respon
sibilities of Ufe. MIf our girls were
trained to care for a modest home, cook:
plain food, sew and Tear children, they -would
then be prepared either for mar
riage or to earn a living wage," "
