A whole lot bus been said about building a dairy industry in the Houth, about the opportunity therefor and the need thereof; but if we are honest with ouraelves ' we must ad mit that our efforta to accomplish t Win, with few exceptions, have met - with failure. Finding: tho development field in this line unprofitable,* because of tack of interest among farm people, Irho writer ban had little to say upon the aubject for over a year. Hut now that two such nerious-minded men, profound thinkers, like the Hon. AjigUfi W. M clyoan, governor of North Carolina, and Prof. S. H. Hobb*. ,Jr.; of tho University of North Carolina, have become all "het up" over the situation, we are going to join the anvil chorus, if we may, and say "me too" to the proposition that we do need mo^e dairy cows and good dairy sires, not only in moat North Carolina counties, but also in most of the counties of Virginia and South Carolina as well. What are we going to do about the decre&se in the number of milk cows on many farms? How are we going to popularize tho cow with 'cotton tobacco, peanut and truck growing farm men and women, and bring them to properly appre ciate how desperately they, their children and tenant families, need this "foster mother?" These are problems that will havo to bo solved. In solving them wo will have hard work ahead of u*. f^r we will have to inspire a people w have, for a long time, regarded i.'ne cow as being more or leas of a nuisance, with a wholesome affection for a>i 'animal that has been man'* benefactor since the earliest days. Show me a community wherei:. there is a goodly number of good nw 1 k cows, and I will show you a healthy, happy, intelligent, prosper ous people. Ex-Governor Lowden of Illinois sometime" ago had the following to say of the cow: "She , is a most wonderful labora- 1 tory. She takes the grasses of the j pastures, and the roughage of the fields and converts them into the most perfect food for man. In that food there is a mysterious something which scientists have found essential to the health and development of the humun race, and which can be found nowhere else." ' Dairying, in this section, in the [opinion (*f the writer, 'should not be approached at first as a commercial proposition, but as a family cow prop osition. But every farm, tenant farms included, should have at least one good cow, and better still two cows. Then, when we have learned how to properly handle and feed these animals, it will, bo time enough to talk about expansion ? about -cows a* a main issue or as a profitable side tine. In advance of the time when we really shall have become cow minded,1 we should be very conservative about encouraging investnrcnts in dairies and creameries, especially the latter, for such concerns will at best exper ience only a scant living for some years to come.

' . * -V, ' V . ? llow to Prevent Spread of Chickenpox Chickenpox is a disease- of child hood and youth, some say that it never occurs in adults, but it does occur now and then. Its mjcrcr organism is unknown, but is contain ed in the vesicles and dried scabs pf the skin eruption and in the saliva and nasal mucus. The disease is readily communicated by contact. The incubation period is from two to three weeks. The preventive meas ure is the isolation of the patient mtil all the scabs have fallen. Chickenpox rarely produces severe sickness, the first/sign is usually the appearance of red spots on the fore head. There may be a slight fever just before the rash. The fever is usually mild during the rash and disappears in a day or two. The importance of the disease lies in its resemblance to smallpox, chickenpox may be recognized by the following points. The duration of the signs preceed ing the eruption is hours, while in smallpox it is days. The sickness and weakness accompanying the on set are slight, while in smallpox they are severe and painful. There is a rapid development of the individual spots of the eruption, followed by drying and scabbing in less than a week, while in smallpox the develop ment is slow, a typical spot of the rash is vesicle, which is superficial and soft; while in smallpox it is deep and hard, and develops into a pustule. The spots of eruption come in crops, and all stages, from spots of red ness to dried vesicles, may be seen at once, while in smallpox the indi vidual spots of the eruption are uni form in the time and stage of their development. The distribution of the eruption is the most valuable diagnostic sign. It is cost marked on the trunk and least on the face, hands and feet, while in smallpox it is most marked on the face and extremities and least on the trunk. It is sometimes stated that chickenpox never produces an eruption on the palms and soles, but eruptive spots do sometimes appear in these locations in chickenpox as well as in smallpox. No child coming from a house where there is a case should be al-i lowed to attend school for three weeks after being exposed to the disease. The patient should be excluded from scnool until all the scabs have fallen and the sores thoroughly healed. John Wilson, H.O. Army Officer Hanged Manila. March IK. ? Second Lieu tenant John S.
