II,
can assure you that the NJ d. Of the L: S. A
| is doing a great work.
Cousins, want to do all can for my coun-
| try, and am sure Won 30, let's all work
hard anud put everything to advantage and we
will win this war. II the people back home'
do not help to win, how will they feel when
the soldiers return? They would be glad to see
the boys all right, but TO my mind they would
| feel a bit Of guilt in their hearts.
My home is in North Carolina, but l am
Georgia Cracker" now. l am stationed in
the Chicksmauga Park, and all you cousins who
have been there will agree with me that il is
a pretty place. I will have to close or Aunt
give me remedy to remove warts from
mule four years OLD. ...
Warts occur quite commonly in the
domestic animals, but are most frequent
ly met with on cattle. The cause is not
known, but it is generally supposed to
be due to mal-nutrition of the skin.
When warts are young and small they
can be destroyed by pure acetic acid 1t
should be applied drop by drop until
the wart is saturated and soft In a
few days it will generally slough off
If it has not been removed by the roots
another application should be made.
When warts are large they may be re-
moved by a sharp knife. If thay bleed
freely scar the wound with a hot iron
Another method is to tie a strong string
around the wart firmly. This should be
frightened from day to day. Presently the
wart will slough off Growths of this
character should be treated as soon as
they occur.
Healing Solutions for a sore Udder
r. II. H., Fitzgerald Ca writes. Nv
cows udder is covered with little festered o.
bhsters and they are very sore. She has
been in this condition for four or FIVE
months. Nothing have tried does any
good. Would be glad if you can recon-
mend something. ga s- 49,
One could never undertake to dag
nose case such as you describe with
certainty because people in describing
symptoms of a disease do not ALWAYS
interpret what they see correctly. but
II you have made a. careful examination
OF this case and reported it CORRECTLY
II sounds good deal like COW pox. AS
means of aiding you to make certain
as TO the trouble we give you an exact
description of what happens where COW
poX occurs. First, q small pimples apbear
on the skin. In the, beginning those
contain watery fluid, which later turns
to pus. The base of the sore is hard ana
red. The pustule breaks and than a. thick
dark scab forms that has a depressed
center. This comes of later. leaving a
small pit of pockmark ~.
Little can be done when this disease
has attacked an animal except TO keen
the parts soft by applying a healing
ointment. There is nothing better for
this purpose than zinc ointment or what
is known as white lotion. If the udtler
is greatly infamed battle with hot
water twice daily. In milking animals
affected with COW pox one SHOULD be

disinfect the hands. so as not to trans
nit the disease to human beings or TO
other cattle. The milk of course, should
not be used for food.

Which Location Is Best
G. c. F., Temple, Ca. writes: i have
hfty of good stiff land in Carroll
county for which ! have been offered $50
acre. All good land in this county Is
getting high l have been told that good
land can he bought in south Georgia for
So 10 $40 Would you advise a
young man Of % years to sell out here
and go where land is little cheaper? Do
you think the boil weevil will hurt
here as much as in the counties south Of,
us? .--..
1t is probably true that you can puy
a good deal of land in south and SOUTH
west Georgia at the figures indicated
This land is no doubt some distances
from the railroad, but is susceptible of
agricultural development and can be
made worth as much as the best lands
in any part of Georgia in the course
of a few years. Hence, it seems to me
wise that young man should give con-
sideration to such proposition. '
The chances are, of, course, that the
boil weev1 may prove. somewhat more
destructive in the section of the state
indicated than in Carroll county, and
on the other hand. good deal OF dam
age may be done in Carroll county
Much depends on seasonal condltlonS
and the type of farming pursued and
the methods employed by farmers in
lighting the weeviL There is chance,
however. to make cotton under weeVil
conditions in the section of the state
indicated with a considerable degree OF
success provided q rotation or crops Is
followed the area of cotton proportieneu
to the labor available to handIe II ana
then a systematic and definite hght mace
against the weevil. In the secuon OF
the state in question you can diversity
- oood advantage by growing substi-
TITO crons for cotton such as peanuts,
u1hicb are likely to be in good demand,
nv the oil mills. You can also raise,
bo9s To advantage on grazing crops:
therefore from my point OF we"
1,,onld he disposed to go where cheaper
lands capable Of rapid development can
be obtained. -
