Dear Sir,-I beg permission tn re-
quest you TO insert the following text
Of this letter IN your next issue of
your paper under the Johnson Greek
local news. A month ago this village
and the vicinity was threatened with
an out break of diphtheria, one case
developing within the village limits
and three cases develoing in ore
family just beyond the limits. Tie
case in town was one Of the severest
forms of diphtheria, commonly called
by the older doctors MembranCus
Group. In this latter disease Or
form of the diphtheria germs lodgeg
in the windpipe and the formation
of a false membrane is the result.
In the ordinary or most common
forms of diphtheria, however, this
same false membrane caused by these
same germs, forms in the throat or
pharynx around the tonsils and pillars.
This same disease process of mem
brane and germs can and often does
form in the nose and nasal passages,
or in the eye socket. or in the bronch-
ial tubes, or in any other tract cover
ed will mucous membrane. Many
persons, and somtimes physicians too,
claim that membranous Group is
not diphtheria at all and this impress
sion has just now gained prevalence,
started and spread. no doubt, by some
body who should have known better.
If it were not for the serious consequ
ences that might result from such a
miscomprehension of the true facts
and also that every day somebody in
form some that membranous Group is
not diphthefia, | should not permit
this to be printed. But IN Justice to
the common welfare and to correct a
false impression and also to relieve
me of endless arguments, | hereby
submit extracts from letters recently
received by myself from DR.. VIM E.
Whyte, of Watertown, President,
and DIR. @. A. Ha, per, of Madison,
Secretary, of our State Board OF He
alth. The originals of these letters
can be seen and examined at my office
at the pleasure of anyone Interested.
Extract from DR.. Whyte's letter
dated at Madison, Jan. Goth, 1909:
GAS to the question of your disgnos-
is of Laryngeal DiphUneria. | must
say that I am sorry that any man IN
the profession, is so benighted as to
claim that aside from Uiphtheria,
there is any such disease as 'memba-
nous Group. If you Will look in the
index of the last edition of Holt and
Anders, you will not find the name
'membranous Group. and Holt does
not use the expression IN the text any
where. There is no such disease
aside from the diphtheric infection.

Science In Farming.

Every process in farming
is a result Of experiment.
Many experiments lave prov
ed failures. Many more
must prove failures. But ex.
periments must be made. We
can not stand still There is
a difference in experiments.
Some men make experiments:
without regard to the expert.
ments already made. or les
sou learned from them. These,
are ''unscientific." Others
make experiments, with
knowledge of experiments al
ready made and in the light
Of knowledge acquired. These
are scientific experiments.
"Science," then. is not so big
a word, Or so hard to under
stand; but it is important to
do things scientifically"
There are many scientific"
farmers, who make ITO clam

intelligently are scientific

Science is worth something,
only when accurate. Seen

mistakes; but this is because
knowledge is only humans
knowledge. Scientists among
doctors, aud among other pre-
lessional, make mistakes. YET {
sciences have progressed; and
medical knowledge has grown
immensely, as result of "scien-
tl1lC" experiments.
Some farmers who farm
scientifically" do not know
that their work is in .accor-
dance with science. The man
who learns the value of man

may not know that. he is. the

Mexico's Supply Of long

leaf pine, in every way suitee

Gates the extent of the only
partially developed pava
stores resources Of Mexico.
A peculiar and interesting
feature of the Mexican tur.
pentine belt is that the tur-
pentine producing trees are
found only in the mountains
at high attitudes, a condition
directly reverse to that exist
ing in the Uuited States,
where trees at an altitude of
1900 feet are unproductive
so far as turpentile is con-
cerned.
Carey B. Townsend, Of New |
Orleans, who has spent some
time Investigating naval
stores conditions in Mexico
has given ali interesting az
count of his observations.
Speaking of the characteris-
tics of the Mexican tree. he &
says:
THE Mexican turpentiue c
pines present a different an !
pearance from our trees in +
the United States. The bark
is thicker, nature providing
this as a protection against =
the cool nights OF the high u
attitudes. The needless, too e
are shorter and coarser than v
those of our southern pines. II
The appearance Of the Next -
can pines differs materially

are found, the trees at 5000 -,
