KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 16.
The principal city of Jamaica is
Kingston. 1t is on the south side
of the island, and its harbor is
the finest in the West Indies,
having an area of 16 square
miles.
The original town was Port
Royal, which stood on a neck of
land separating the bay from the
ocean. Port Royal in the old days
was rendezvous for Morgan
(not j. P.) and his buccaneers,
but in 1892 there occurred one
of the worst disasters in the
worlds history. There was an
earthquake and the whole town
was swallowed by the sea. When
the sea is exceptionally calm ]
have even sene some of the build
ings deep down below the surface
of the water.
The new Kingston was built on
the main land. In spite OF this 1t

to the dairyman's advantage to belong
TO this class. The proposition con-
fronting the dairyman today is not
primarily a matter of location, soil
or climate; it is he, himself, that
stands in the way Of his own progress.
Few people realize what intelligence,
care and study, what patience, obser-
walton and experience are needed to
make a good dairyman, to interpret
to the mind the language of the cow
in such a manner as to understand
her every need and be able to properly
supply it. The inherent and fatal
weakness of many people is that they
wholly ignore the really important
and decisive factor of success in all
fields of human activity, viz, trained
and intelligent judgment, based on
sound theory and practice. The cause
and cure for the backwardness of the
dai7yman is in his mind, and in the
solution Of his problems chief promi-
nence must be given to the human fac
tor. The trouble with many dairymen
is that they think they know, which is
the worst possible kind Of ignorance

know that we are ignorant" Our
