up slightly, the report said.
Milk cows and heifers dropped a.
bout 1000 head to a total popula-

a heavy demand for milk. Total
cattle population was valued at a.

Forest Fires
R'urn 46 Acres

During the month of February
IA forest fires occurred in district
one of the N. c. Forest Service
which burned a total of 46 acres of
forest land. The principle cause of
those fires was carelessness or ne
glect by brush or debris burners.
Ten responsible parties were deter
mined and reprimanded for allow
ing fire to escape, into protected
forest land, M. U. Marlowe, county
forest warden said.
District one is comprised of eight
counties. These counties and their
fire record for the month of Feb
ruary is as follows:
Buncombe county, fires, with
8.6 acres; Henderson county-no
fires; Madison county, fires,
with sc acres; Mcdowell county
2 fires, with 20.5 acres; Mitchell
county-no fires; Polk county,
fire, with acres; Rutherford coun-
ty-1 fire, with 13 acres.
The next two months will be the
most dangerous part of the spring
fire season. The public is urged to
be careful with fires; to secure a
burning permit before burning any
material within 500 feet of wood
lands and to follow the instructions
listed on the back of the permit
while burning.

Undulant Fever No. 2

Undulant fever got it's name or
account of the up-and-down course
Of the disease.
We have seen that Brucillosis OF
undulant fever is often mistaken fo1
tuberculosis, neurosthenia, or some
other vague, ill-defined malady
Brucillosis is very difficult to dag.
nose especially after it becomes
chronic. The most rigid examinat.
ion of the blood often fails to give
the test or to reveal the germs OF
undulant fever.
Brucillosis can be contracted in
many different ways. 1t has gotten
so now that a large number of peo.
pie who handle cattle have it. Many
veterinarians suffer from it. Un-
dulant fever is contracted so often
from raw or unpasteurized milk
that all dairy herds should be com
PEELED by law to be tested for Bru-
cillosis.
A Minnesota law requires that
all cattle should be tested At the
st. Paul stockyards about 10 per
cent of the animals are found to
have the infection and are killed.
No milk or dairy products are al
lowed to be sold in Minnesota un-
less pasteurized.
Sows, swine, goats, and human
beings contract the disease. The in
fection may show itself in a few
days by chills, headaches, or low
back pain. Rheumatism, arthritis,
mental disturbances are often due
to this fever. Sometimes, it takes
months and even years after infec-
ton before a full-blown case of un-
dulant fever becomes manifest.
Keeping yourself built up is most
important protection against dis
ease.
You can contract undulant fever
from eating butter, ice cream, or
other infected, unpasteurized dairy
products.
1t is said that survey of unpas-
teurized milk in San Francisco re-
vealed that practically all the certi-
fled milk in the Bay region contain
ed the germs of Brucillosis. This
milk was certified Grade A, or sold
as such, and yet it was swarming
with the contagious abortion germs
known as Brucillosis Many of the
finest herds in the country were
badly infested.
The researchers are at work on
undulant fever It has been almost
impossible to completely cure. They
seem to be on the right track now
with some of the new drugs known
as antibiotics, one of which is aureo-
bycin. The Johns Hopkins hospital
at Baltimore, Maryland, has report
ed some success with it.
1t behooves all to be so cautious
about milk, and milk products that
they will use only sterilized dairy
products of all kinds.
