This is the best jpdce we know of being paid Jttie producer in the state. At 3Qus price, the fat in a 100 lb of 4t percent milk, average milk, sell for $2.12. This is ; 18.2c a gallon and the skim milk, worth right at 8c as a Seed for chickens, makes a gal j3km of 4 per cent milk bring 5be farmer 26.2c. This is a price that a northern dairy psxxtaa. would 'jump at' with open sarins. -2S2ST COWS Dr. A. A.

FLINT, MICHIGAN GREATEST 1 "OTOR MMfMHftlfMM t In order to sell cream at the Biltmore station it is necessary that Jhe cows be tuberculjn tested. The price received for cream from the Biltmore is about 13c above the price paid by other creameries. On Mon day, Nov. 29th., 87.7 lbs. of fat was shipped. The increased price on this cream would a- mount to ?11.40. The gain in a year, 52 weeks, at this rate, would amount to $592.85, al most $100 each for the six farmers selling cream. This amount, $592.85, would pay 6 per cent interest on the cost of the county tuberculosis test and leave $487.85 to ap ply to the principal And on ly 1 in 500 of our farmers tak incr advantage. If the whole farming population would take advantage of the vfcest, what would be the answer. This is the value from a dol lars and cents viewpoint. If we can eliminate Jthe tuber culosis cows from the county the value of the test can not be estimated. The testing of the cattle of those selling milk to the MarshaH people;, and if there are any infected cows in these herds, the ridding of the herds of such cows, is worth an amount that one cannot esti mate. One cow in one of these herds might expose every fam ily receiving milk from that Jierd to tuberculosis. When every family cow in the county, every cow producing milk for human consumption in any form, is tested and these react ing disposed of, then, and only then, will the full value of the work be realized. COUNTY AGRICULTURAL BOARD TO MEET There will be a meeting of the Co. Board oif Agriculture on the first Monday in January at the County Agent's office. Every member of this board should be present. There is important business to attend to. This is the regular date for the meet ing of this hoard and every member should be present and start the year right. Remem ber the time. A MODERN DAIRY BARN Madison County can boast one modern dairy barn. Mars Hill is the lucky section; T. E, Huff has built on his farm 2 miles this side of Mars Hill a barn for 20 milk cows.: This barn 5 hnilt kf ter I)lans furnished by . . . . . tne county agent tiw uuwmcu them from the Agriculture En gineering Department, of the State. .-.-'The barn is equipped with modern steel stanchions, and has a concrete .floor and concrete feed mangers for the cows.- Mr. Huff is fixed to fur nish the college with a good grade of milk. V His cows have been ;i tuberculin . tested . and found free from the disease. . A barn such as Mr. Huff has built not only enables the farm er to produce a quality of milk that 13 asked for by health au thorities but it also makes the More of the farmers who ore milking cows, whether ;'. fo whole milk or for (ream should follow ilr. Huff 'if example When they- do they will find that they will spend leaa ,time attending to the cows, and thai the cows wll; pftduce more milk at a reduced cost for feed and labor.

CROUP Unfortunately, this word croup has been used as a name tor various con ditions, some serious and some not, until there Is some misunderstanding in the minds ot many as to Just what the word means. Literally, croup is a disease charac terized by laborious and suffocative breathing, with sometimes spasm ol the larynx and sometimes a local mebrane In the throat. Diphtheria also causes a membrane in the throat and when the disease Is severe the welling In the throat causes a chok ing with difficult breathing. Because of this similarity, diph theria Is sometimes called croup. This is unwise tor it leads to confusion and often obscures the seriousness with which diphtheria should always be considered. "Itls" is a suffix meaning Inflamma tion and laryngitis means; an laflas matlon of the larynx. Among the less serious affections of the respirator tract in infants, none gives more alarm ing symptoms than acute, spasmodic laryngitis. During a spasm of the larynx in Infants there are very tew diseases which strike such terror to the hearts of parents, and yet as com mon as it is, it Is consoling to know that babies do not die from such spasms alone. A characteristic ot sim ple catarrhal laryngeal cough la that it to absent early in the day, that it begins toward evening and Increases in intensity during the night, and that, even without treatment, improvement eomes in the early morning hours. It to during the stage ot greatest Inten sity, usually about midnight, or be tween eleven and three o'clock, when the spasm ot the larynx scours which gives rise to the symptoms that are ss distressing to 4he child and the pa rents. Cyanosis and difficult breath ing, except in unusual cases, to pros ent only daring the spasm. Any doubtful or suspicious east should have Immediate medical Atten tion to be sure the trouble is not dlpa theria. i While the doctor is comma, use every effort to relax the spasa by Seat and steam from boiling water. BltMf hot or cold packs about tin neck are helpful. ,-, ' . : Keeping the ' infant In overheated room during the day and iubjectlni it to drafts and chilling at, night pre disposes to spain. . ...-..'-' .

THE BANIi OF FTIENCH BROAD MARSHALL, N. C. Reclaims Wet Land By Using Explosive. Wet, seepy, unproductive land on the dairy farm of V. j T. Wood of Graham, route one, has been reclaimed by the use I . - oi pyrotoi and now tnree years after the soil was blasted, ex cellent crops can be' produced by the owner. The reclaimed spot never produced a crop until the last three years, states Mr. Wood, but this year an average of two tons of lespedeza hay per acre was made. On November 17 when this farm was visited by A. T. Holman, agricultural en gineer at State College, and W. Kerr Scott, county agent of Alamance County, the area drained with pyrotoi was in ex cellent shape while neighbor ing fields of the same Iredell soil type were too wet to plow because of one 'and one half inches of rain f ailing on the previous day. "This Boil did ifot respond to surface or open-ditch drainage so in 1923. I ed to sub soil it'th" explosive which X had purchased for blowing up stumps,!! says v ' Mr..; "Wood. With a large augur, I drilled Holes through the soil and the hard pan to rock about eight feet apart each way. From the edge of this area to the branch I had an open ditch so I placed a hne of in the Center of the ditch at the same depth as the others;. One stick of pyrotoi primed with cap and sufficieni safety 'fuse to reach the top of the ground was placed in each hole and firdH. The explosion broke ; up the hardt pain 5 and heavy subsoil but left the sur - Clotlicb and other Dry Goods and IIarc!varc ' I j ' . I Hot Snnn"-. IT. C. J face undisturbed." As a result of this work, Mr. Wood refilled his open ditch and has never had any trouble with the area since. He has also used the explosive to drain a drepression in another field. "I find that dairying and di versified farming are proving successful for me but I am working to get each acre on the' farm to produce economi cally. I do this by . removing stumps, draining my land and maintaining the supply of hum us in the soil," says Mr. Wood. ASHE COUNTY GROWS FINE QUALITY SHEEP Ashe County is one of the best naturally adapted livestock sections in North Carolina according to Prof. R. S. Curtis of the animal husbandry department at State College, who re cently spent a week . in this county . with the farm agent E. C, Tunner, Junior, holding a series of meetings in the interest of beef cattle product-ion.v;,'''T'-v"!-f ' awU s-fc.'- & - Mr. Curtis has been studying live- -stock conditions over North Carolina for about fifteen years and ; during that time, he has traveled over all parts of North Carolina. His work has carried him to Ashe County .; many . " times, and he states that the county . has always had fine beef cattle and ' excellent sheep; There are now some ' 18,000 head of sheep listed on the tax books of the connty." Nearly all of these animals are highly bred because ' the growers have used pure bred rams . for many years. " - - ' v, In my opinion, the sheep " of Ashe County will compare favorably! with the sheep of Ohio.T says Prof.1.. Curtis. "Ohio has long been rated as . one of the best i sheep -. producing states, on . the " Continent .considering the matter from: the farm standpoint ' I have found the sheep in Ashe Coun ty to be -of just as good quality and to produce just as good wool as those -" from; the Buckeye State.". . ? - Prof. Curtis states that there has.' been : a ' slackening ot interest in t beef cattle in the mountain " sectoin '; because of the low prices for beef ; during the past few years. A number, of old beef cattle growers have gone into the dairy business but there now appears' to be an awakening of inter est in this work also and some of the more favorable located land owners ' will begin to give more attention to beef cattle. However that may be, he states, it to generally accepted "i that the sheep industry is on a firm footing and will expand greatly in the next two or three years.
