New Rural Pastime of Chopping Winter Wood The good times enjoyed at neigh borhood corn huskings are well known to most North Carolinians but there is another pastime now mak ing its appearance in the northern tier of piedmont counties where men of the community gather at the Var ious'farms and cut the supply of fuel wood for the winter. This new pastime calls for more stamina than possibly the corn husk ing but time is taken for social con tact and the bounteous dinner usu ally served is regarded as sufficient reward for the day of hard labor. In Caswell County, one alert host farmer used the occasion to teach the principles of a new farm prac tice. As county farm agent H. L. Seagrove told the story to Extension Forester R. W. Graeber of the State College Extension staff, this host had attended one of Graeber's tim ber thinning demonstrations last winter. When the farmer sent out the invitations to attend his "chop ping" he had already marked the weed trees in his woodland and when the neighbors came and saw the marked trees, they immediately wanted to know why. Questions flew. The host soon showed'them how each blazed tree was a cull which had be«n crippled in some way or was diseased or overcrowded. This caused a few caustic remarks but the men went to work with a will and as the day wore to a close the owner soon had a supply of wood for his stove, fireplace and tobacco barn. All of the wood came from cull trees. The sound, desirable tim ber trees were left standing. As the men looked back over their work, they caught the vision of a new farm practice unfolding before their eyes and one said, "Why it's like thin ning out corn and just as reason able."

Inc. j No. I—ELKIN No. 2-JONESVILLE * \ ' *> - -in The FAMILY DOCTOR (B> John Joseph Gaines, M. D.) REFLECTIONS The end of the year Is to me a time for sober thought—naturally of me and mine . . . and, that in cludes you, dear reader, for you are in a sense mine, every time you read one of these little feature-articles. For the time we are of one family, whether we agree on everything, or whether we snarl and pout over some disputed point under discus sion . . . We are more than friends —we are brothers and sisters; we cannot get away from the fact. . . . Time to settle bills at the year's end. How much do you owe to your family doctor? How much for his "days of danger, nights of making," that you might be more comfortable and more fit for the stern trials of your own life? There are thousands today, who do not have the cash to meet the well thumbed page in the doctor's ledger. But, don't you owe him more than that? Haven't you time to sit down and think how goo® he has been in your hours of trial —and—and— couldn't you just kneel down tonight at your bedside and ask God to bless him? It would mean so much for him —I know. There is not enough sordid gold in the world to buy the answer to Just one little prayer. Did you ever look at it that way? The family doctor may be likened to a shepherd who gives his life "for the sheep." I have seen this faithful servant of man, tenderly caring for the lambs—as if they were his very own; I can think of no type of service more consecrated — more self-sacrificing. Naturally I cannot imagine a service more de serving of reward. That's why I have been a "family doctor." TULAREMIA Funny name, isn't it? But the di sease isn't funny. In former years when a fellow took sick after skin ning rabbits, no attention was paid to that element in the case by either patient or physician; but we have progressed—so, we have "tul aremia." Common name for it is "rabbit fever." The usual history is, the young man has been hunting, with good luck—in rabbits. He has, very properly, skinned and dressed ,them for family use. He gets a sudden chill, followed by fever—pains all over the body with vomiting and prostration generally. He may br«4k out in pustules, that is, "plm oleB" eontatning PUB. These are "> l the mature of a small-pox eruption, though much less pronounced, Giv en the above history and symptoms we are justified in looking out for a case of "rabbit fever". It is rarely fatal, but may be many months in getting well. It de pends on how the patient resists that sort of infection, how long re covery may be delayed—the same as in other infections. My duty here is, to advise you to wear rubber gloves if you skin your rabbits; not having any, be sure that [ you have Kood sound skin on the hands. No splinter-scratches or oth er little wounds, where the fresh rabbit-blood may get into your own. Soap and scrub the hands after dressing the game. I have skinned hundreds of rabbits, never used gloves in the process, and never had tularemia. But I may have had narrow escapes! I shall be mighty careful in the future you may be sure. Cooking renders rabbit meat clear and wholesome for eating. No standard treatment has been adopted for the disease. Quinine and a milk protein have had excel lent reports to their credit.
