TRANSMISSION OF COW POX TO MAN R. G.. Talking Bock. Ga.. writes. Would a person treating a •*ow with cow pov be apt u> contract the disease' Is there any cure tor it? As you probably know, cow pox is not an uncommon disease It is caused Iby a germ that attacks cows particular- 1 5 ly. The disease makes its appearance most frequently In the region of the udder or teats and is characterized bv i sores in this region. It may be trans mitted from one animal Io another by ! the hands of the milker or by calves, or by direct contact. This disease can. of course, be transmitted to man by di rect inoculation through sores which mav occur on the hands and thus permit of the infection of the human being who milks or handles a cow affected with this disease. As you probably know, the fluid from the pimples or pusties characteristic of cow pox pro vides the material used to vaccinate per sons against this disease. Should this disease break out on a human being you should employ a doctor to treat the same. In the case of a cow. about all that ean be done is to keep the affected parts soft by applying a healing oint ment. For this purpose there is noth- ■ ing better than white lotions followed by zinc ointment If the udder ’« | greatly inflamed bathing w’th hot water twice daily is excellent. If you have cows in your herd affected with this dis ease they should be milked last. The milker should then wash his hands very carefully in a suitable disinfectant- The milk, of course, should not be used for food. There is no reason why a man who has contracted cow pox by milking a diseased c O w should not recover from ! this disease through proper treatment j bv a competent physician. LEADING IX>NG STAPLE COTTON VARIETIES. H. M. M., Marshallville Ge.. write*. What do yon consider the best long staple tarieties of cotton, and the best short sta pie varieties? Several varieties; of long staple eot , ton have been grown on our test plats in recent years Os course, the lint of these long staple varieties commands a high figure, frequently 30 cents a pound or more being paid above the price which the short staple varieties bring. <»f the long staple varieties tested up to date Meade is presumed to be the most ratisfactory. The lint of this variety --old in Savannah. Ga.. on a commercial ba-ds this fall at 73 1-2 cents a pound. This was due to its superior length and quality. There is only a limited amount of -eed of this variety available, how ever. but if one could secure even a | . mail amount for planting this year it I promises well for growth even in those I sections where the boll weevil is likel) to prove destructive. In the plats here at Athens last year, fifty-two days | elapsed from first bloom to open boll. i*i tiic case of Columbia, another strain i. :’ long staple cotton, fifty-four days Lapsed from first bloom to the opening of the first boll, and in the case of Web ber. a third good variety of long stap.e •• cotton, sixty days elapsed between the first bloom and the opening of the first boll. These varieties can all be recom mended to the favorable attention of farmers who wish to grow cotton of this tvpe There should be no difficulty in obtaining seed of either Columbia or Webber. The particular variety of Web ber grown in a test to which reference was made, is Webber 49. One of the most satisfactory of th short staple varieties grown on our demonstration field here during the pas. vear was College No. 1. It produced 1.084 pounds of seed cotton per acre at . the first picking, which was exactly five months from the date of planting. Tnis H variety requires fifty-one days from firs. ! bloom to open boll. Some other rieties. such as Half and Half. Cook s and Culpepper’s, though not yielding so well, only require forty-seven days from first blotfin to open boll. TREATING A CASE OF LUNG WORMS S. Y. S.. Wancbula. ria.. writes: My hncs bsve st rough and not tnneb appetite . and dlr in a few days. 1 have examined i the lung* and find them fall of ‘ ! woeM like to knew the treatment for this > trouble. " If your diagnosia is correct your hogs are undoubtedly suffering from infes- : i tation b) lung worms. This is a para- ■ site which attacks animals of this class I very frequently. The parasites are gen erally taken up from pools, troughs or drinking places to which the animals find accees. A violewt cough, of coiVrse. > accompanies this Infestation and the an , Imais naturally lose flesh and present • an unthrifty appearance. As the debility '.increases the coughing becomes more i ' aggravated and is usually accompanied ; by difficult breathing. When animals • ■ are fat and in good condition it is gen ' | erally best to slaughter them, as the i worms are confined entirely to the lungs i and do not affect the food value of the meat in any way. When the infestation has run on for ' some time the only treatment we can suggest is as follows. It should be re membered that this is not very satls ’ factory, but we advise you to try it if your animals are not in condition to be killed. Place them in a tent or some I close structure and fumigate by sprin kling sulphur on live coals. The attend ant should keep hjs head on a level with the animal and when the air be comes so close and heavy that he can ' no longer stand it. admit fresh air. This ’ treatment should be given onee daily for I several days. • • • pickling Meat in G-eorf-la G. F. 8.. Dexter. Ga.. writes: I would like to know how to put up and piekle I meat. I have some sma’l stoats weighing from fifty to seventy-five pounds that I want to kill ami save. A great many ways of pickling meat may be followed with success, but ' there are some standard recipes which ’ may be depended on to give good satis faction under all circumstances provided the suggestions contained therein <fle very carefully and accurately followed ' out. For putting up pork in pickle we know of no-lietter reeipe than the fol lowing. This is a standard recipe and has been extensively used and, there fore. known to be effective and reliable. It is quoted in toto from a bulletin of the Georgia State College of Agricul ture prepared by Dr. W. M. Burson, of i our veterinary division. In order to insure proper curing, meat must be sufficiently cooled before plac- ■ ing tn cure. In warm weather care must 4 >o exercised to keep it from becoming Jo a inted. once tainted it cannot be brough* 3 back to its previous condition. When JBhutchering during warm weather it may *■ ic necessary to use ice. Ice may be *■ iroken into pieces of about one pound LI ach and packed around and between -■ he cuts of meat When thoroughly t ooled to the bone, the meat Is ready u to place in cure. • To cure in brine obtain a receptacle THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY,’FEBRUARY 22, 1018. large enough to easily contain the meats to be cured One or more hardwood barrels or hogsheads carefully scrubbed with boiling water do very well for the purpose. Large earthenware jars are good. Pack the large cuts at bottom, as closely as possible. Prepare the follow ing brine: For each 100 pound.-of meat take eight pounds of salt, four pounds of brown sugar or molasses, three ounces salt peter. Put id four gallons of water that has been boiled and allowed to cool. Cover the ineat with this brine and place a weight on top to keep alt ttie pieces covered. If the quantity of brine becomes reduced by leaking or evapora tion make more brine as described and add to it. After the meat has been in cure ten days or two weeks, take the pieces out and replace in different order to give the brine a chance to penetrate the spots where the pieces lay together. For large hams or shoulders it may be well to inject some of the brine into the deeper parts by means of a large s) ringe. The meats should be kept under observation and the brine examined every few days to note whether it becomes sour or stringy. If it docs, the brine must be removed and boiled, or replaced by fresh brine. The length of time necessary to cure meat depends largely on the size of the cuts. Bacon cures in thirty to forty days, hams and shoulders (eight, to fifteen poundsi, forty-five to sixty days, larger pieces in proportion. After the meat has lain in brine for sufficient time, if mild cure is desired, lay for several hours in water to draw out some of the salt. It is then ready to be smoked. Hang the meat well above a slow fire so that it will not become heated. Hard wood, especially hickory, is preferred for smoking. Sawdust, of hardwood, may be used. Do not use the ‘‘liquid smoke” which is offered on the market. It gives meat inferior appearance, color and odor and does noi penetrate like smoke. The uae of borax, boracic acid, formal dehyde, salicylic acid and other chemi cals for preserving purposes is forbid den by the laws of many states. The federal meat inspection law prohibits meats that are cured, prepared or packed in any of these substances being sold or transported in interstate trade. Food experts agree as to the harmfulness of such chenficals when used w on human food. Salt, sugar, saltpeter, spices, wood smoke and vinegar are sufficient for the proper curing and preserving of all kinds of meats. Baking soda is some times used as an aid in preventing brine from souring. Should the weather be warm it may be well to add a small amount of it. Meat cured by the smoking method is more popular than that cured in any other way. It is superior in appear ance, quality and flavor and brings bet ter prices on the market. a xondutiMfhi w?frtitbit What Foreign Countries Are Doing with Equal Suffrage In Great Britain, Premier Lloyd George, on behalf of the Liberal party, has pledged the parliamentary vote to British women. All other electoral rights were extended long ago. The vote mentioned by Lloyd George passed the house of commons 7 to 1, last June. He said: “To give the women no voice would be unjust, inequitable. That is why the woman question has become a question." There are five of Can ada's largest provinces that have in the last two years given full suffrage to Canadian women. Premier Robert Bor den has pledged full suffrage. The vote is given to women—all women who arc 'mothers, wives, widows, sisters and daughters of soldiers. Even old Mex ico in 1917, in the most enlightened prov ince, gave municipal suffrage to all women of good character. The chamber of deputies in France ordered that women should have the vote as an act of delayed justice, and dictated by pub lic interests.” The city of Prague, tn Bohemia, is moving for equal suffrage. The city of Budapest has demanded equal suffrage for men and women. The premier of Italy has pledged suffrage to Italian women. Finland, Norway, Ireland and Denmark have universal suffrage for men and women. The king of Sweden has recommended It for the women of Sweden and the premier has recommended it. The king of Belgium has declared that the first act he will pass, with Belgiutp restored, will be, ballot privileges for Belgian women. Even Germany in its law making reichstag has promised suffrage because German women have earned it. In the year 1917, the number of elec toral votes in equal suffrage states ex panded from 91 to 193, more than dou ble, by 190 votes. These women voters hold the balance of power at this time. Congressmen called on President Wil son for advice, political advise, and he said, ‘‘give the women the ballot, as an act of right and justice to the women ot the country and the world.” mcm find mt DIHOBIIFf, m num STOPS COMING OUT Save your hair!

A higli German official said to one he thought a German- sympathizer: "The American wives, mothers and sweet hearts are helping us. We shall surely win this war. ’ When asked how he knew so much his answer was that every time a woman in America wrote to a soldier in France and -bewailed of his absence, or told what a hard time she thought she was haring, or said anything to make the soldier lowspirited, she took a lot of vi tality out of the man and lessened his fighting ability. An American officer said that be could look into the faces of the men as they entered the training camps and tell who haxl mothers, sisters, wife or sweet heart true to the best in him. The boy who had to pull the arms of his moth.T away from his neck, or had heard the ’’foolishness of President Wilson" de nounced might make good in spite of his great obstacle, hut he stood no chance of brilliant, success unless some higher power intervened. « The women of the south were the in spira-tion of our men in the sixties. Are we degenerating? Can it be said that we are less loyal than the women of other sections? Are the "loaves and fishes" so much to us that wc can eat our fill of things that our allies need and waste (he food we might live on so as Io give up wheat and sugar and meat? Our men are in the war, and it s up to us to say whether they decide the ques tion for or against, us. “Smile when your boy goes away and smile in your letters to him." Thou sands of young people who have gone out into the world to make good, wiio went before this war was dreamed of, save in the German arm), have tailed because the letters from home pulled them down instead of pushing them up. As many of you know. I was one of the pioneer business women. 1 was of fered a place in Atlanta, a thing I had never dreamed of. and my mother said. "Os course, wc want you here, but you love to write and it’s a compliment to you." My brother said, “Sister, you can try it and if you find things unpleasant you know >ou can come home. Their love upheld me, and in my heart I knew that no matter how much they loved ino, there was a certain pride that demanded me to make good and their faith in my ability to do my best helped me over many a hard place. So it is with the soldiers. Be like the Spartan women—they sent their loved ones into battle with the injunc tion to come hack bearing their shields as conquerors or be brought back on them. The minds of the German women are bent on victory—the kaiser knows that and he knows tliat the army of spies he has over here can do as much for him by discouraging the women as his soldiers in the trenches. One of our men wrote back that the boys over there can win only 40 per cent of the war— the other 60 per cent is up to the folks at home It nerves the man to higher things to know that at home some one is pray ing for him, working for the army and will uphold him in his every effort to conquer the ruthless creatures that are doing their best to rule the world. Ludendorff, the man who handles the human side of the German army, says that the American woman lacks both the wisdom and the will to stand back of.our soldiers. Does he know you? Has he neard reports from your sort? When you rail at the things that win ning the war demand, you put a sling in their hands and you may be sure it will be used The woman who says the Red Cross is a money-maker for a few the man who says this is a rich man s war and a poor man's fight, has very little sense and no patriotism. Would that woman accuse any of the w-otnen of her town of selling things made for charity and pocketing the money? Isn't the Red Cross composed of the cream of any atul ail sections? Can you find a company of soldiers composed entirely of poor men? It takes a trained mind to handle, large affairs, and when a company of farmers organ ize do they select a mhn who cannot sign his name, or one that is known to be educated to handle its affairs? Would you expect this government to show less common sense? Could these slackers among our wom en read the letters written back to Germany their faces would burn. We are scorned by the kaiser, by von Hin denburg and Ludendorff. 1 do thank God for the material that Is in the make-up of the average* soldier that has gone. Some of them are men in spite of the wailing and reproaches they have to read and listen to. In a recent Ger man paper there was a letter written from this country, and here is one part of it: “The Germanization of America is now assured. The American people will be conquered by the victorious German spirit." Is that absurd? It would be if it were not for the millions of women who are helping to Germanize our country. They have welcomed home those renegades who have mutilated themselves to keep out of the war, they have sworn to lies to keep their men out of the draft, they have poison ed the minds of their sons and sweet hearts and are as much responsible for the soldiers who desert as any paid agent of Germany. Thousands of boys are at the front worried, sick of heart and- doing his b.est to be brave, while his women folks are pumping the poi son into his mind as fast as they can. As one over there said. "What differ ence does it make to Germany whether the German bullet or the American mother wounds the American soldier? He is wounded just the same, isn't he?” This may seem like hard words. 1 regret the necessity for their use. Search your own heart.

Some people think the reason the ; men now in France have not shown a single “yellow streak” is because they i\ere mostly volunteers. That’s the way German) would like for you to think. Read what the boys at Camp McClel land said were their reasons for enlist ing. and if you have none of your own, you who have been a drag to your "men folks,” take these to heart: "To learn self-control. To guaran tee the safety of my mothers and sis ters. To kill a few' Germans for what they did to Poland. To help free the German people from kaiserism. To show that my blood is red, and that my back is not yellow. Because the country needs me. Because God called me. I never did anything worth while, so I've dedicated my life to my coun try in order that it might be of use to some one." If you can't be brave, back up to a wall: don't let the Germans know you have the yellow streak. If you can’t bid them "God speed" when they leave. ; then keep your mouth shut.

Mrs. Thomas: I read your let-1 ters in T’i i Journal and am much n-' terested in ?ou'‘ "Chicken Talk.” Now. 1 do not have anything to do with, chickens, except to eat them, as those* with whom I live have entire control • of the bue’ness. But I helped my mother when she was living, and liked it very much. And my mother, whom I always thought knew the best ways of doing things, said you got more eggs by feeding corn tiian any other feed. At to meat, the women here have eaten \ ery little for years, but there is always meat in the smokehouse, for ; the "head of the house" was born in 1 Greece and raised in Turkey, and has. lived there ever since. As to sugar here, we drink coffee, 1 but no sugar in it. When my health . was good I drank coffee with plenty , of sugar and cream in It. As the old song says, for that is the only way i coffee is nourishing. Now, I drink only w’hole milk. But we consume quan- i titles of jam and jelly, for that is about the only way we like fruit, ex- i cept dried. We like cornbread—there are so; many good ways of working it. We j like biscuit, too. 1 think potato bis-, cuit the best ever, but wc make them i without eggs. In a former letter you wrote about ; singing theater songs. I am glad you did. Now, I love to sing them. I sang ! them to my mother as long as she am singing them yet. though age and , many years of suffering have impaired my voice. Still, I thank God 1 can ' sing. When I was visiting my cousin at Black Mountain two years ago, my j cousin’s wife said. ”1 do love to hear 1 you sing. You sing so sweetly.” How ! I wish that I had sat by her side and sang all the songs 1 ever knew, for she is now listening to the Heavenly > Choir. Wish I had space to describe i Black Mountain and vicinity. Suffice ] it to say, it is the prettiest place I ; ever saw. “But the trail of suffering ! is over it all.” As you perhaps know, I it is a resort, a refuge for the unfor- | tunate victims of tuberculosis. Not in the town proper, but outside in cot tages, and there are two sanitariums in two miles of the town.

SOME GOOD IDEAS Dear Mrs. Thomas: I have read your ' pieces in The Journal so much, you i really seem like an old friefid. 1 enjoy your letters very much and I’ve learn ed a lot I never knew before. Your talks on chickens and bow we j women can help win the war interest i me most. lam a regular chicken crank. 1 am a farmer's wife, and we raise all we possibly can to use and buy as little as we can. I’ve just planted some hot beds, so as to have some early vegetables, and I have just taken- qff a beautiful bunch of White Leghorn* biddies. My hens haven’t slacked up, al though we have had some severe cold weather. And, Mrs. Thomas, won't you i give us some recipes for using corn | meal in various ways? I feel sure i there are others who read The Journal ! that would appreciate them. We ob- i serve wheatless days at our house and , meatless ones, too. There are people , that don't seem to realize that we re j at war, or the necessity for being sav- i ing and not wasting anything. Oh, if we could only make them un- i derstand! I have two little ones, five and two I years old, respectively, and my gar- i den, chickens, and house to look after. ] and let me assure you I am a busy . womsn. But who of us is not busy now- i adays, wfith so many things demanding | our time and attention? I am trying hard to raise my chil- I dren right, and they are good and obe- | dient. They love to help mama work. I did a lot of canning last summer and ; expect to do more this summer. I put up a lot by the cold pack method I that you told us about in The Journal ' last summer. 1 cut it out and pasted * it in my cook book. Here are some of my ways of sav- i ing: I make cottage cheese from left- i over milk. I save all leftovers from i the table. Burn egg shells for my ■ chickens. Mend all holes as soon as ■ fhey appear in a garment. Sell chickens and’ eggs and vegetables. May the good Lord take care of our soldier boys over in France. And may you have good health and happi ness in the new year, is the wish of your friend. MRS. T. G. America Must Conserve Money as Well as Food WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—America must conserve her money even as she does her food, Secretary McAdoo told ! the house ways and means committee * today in executive session. That is why, he said, the war finance corporation bill is imperative. McAdoo pointed out that this country’s war bill, added to the demands of the allies, puts a serious problem on the back of the government. Capital, he said, must br directed in channels of war needs and properly conserved, which is all, he said, the proposed bill aims to do. OLD WORLD SHAKEN BY NEW DIPLOMACY AND SLAV TANGLE i Battling Nations of Europe Bewildered By Recent Turn Os Events in Ukraine and I Russia i WASHINGTON. Feb. 20—Russian ■ chaos and President W : lson's “daylight diplomacy" have thrown the battling nations of the central powers and the republics of old Russia into confusion and dismay. History fails to record a parallel to the situation existing today in the old world. Ukrainia, at peace with the central powers, is at war with the Petrograd Bolsheviki. Germany, floundering in a situation she created by trying to effect a domi neering peace over Russia, finds herself at war w’ith the Bolsheviki—and afraid to shoot. Austria, disagreeing with the Ger man annexationist plans toward Russia, refuses to align her soldiers in any military demonstration against the Bol sheviki. Fear lest the Austrian people sway Count Czernin against the German junk ers. under appeal of President Wilson, gives the kaiser pause in fits next step. Russia, anxious for a just peace, finds i herself at war with factions in her own j country. The powers, facing possible ! collpase of the Bolsheviki, don’t know ' whom to deal with. The reins of the Lenine-Trotzky regirpe appear slacken i ing. Numerous outbreaks of increasing i violence are occurring. Sailors of the Russian Baltic fleet, first to embrace the original Petrograd revolution and then to jump to the 80l- I sheviki. have broken away to complete 1 anarchy and arc carrying tire and blood |through Finland I Dr. Ignatius, Finnish representative here, today said cables showed the Bal ! tic sailors are now "beyond control of ; the Petrograd Bolsheviki." Their Incen diarism and looting are at the root, of ! the new reign of terror sweeping Fin land. he said. "These roving, disorganized bands of • marauders have killed their officers and refused to obey the orders of the Petro -1 grad Bolsheviki. They have stripped the I country bare of provisions and plunder ' od ruthlessly." And to fprther discredit the Bolshe . v’ki, officials of the Kerensky regime in : Washington have issued pamphlets for circulation among the Russian consular agents here and for the guidance of this and other government officials. In speaking of the Bolsheviki, these embassy officials say: "Their ‘internationalism’ is not based : on the ideal of unity and co-operatio.n 'of nations entitled to develop them selves along their own specific lines, | but is a striving for universal revolu j tion of the world’s proletariat and the raising of a merciless class struggle. "The fancy of the Bolsheviki draws, beyond the conclusion of the present war. a sinister picture that, shows, in stead of peaceful developments of na ' tions applying their energies to crea ' tive activities, destructive flames of social revolution throughout the world." In this weird international tangle, President Wilson has thrust forth his appeal for a just peace—squaring in I general and in many details with the 1 views of the Austrian people and add ; ing further to the confusion of the Ger- I man junkers. How the trend of world events is as ; fecting these junkers and the Austrian I government will probably reveal itself ' this week when Chancellor Hertling at j Berlin and Count Czernin, at Vienna, i are expected to answer the president s last address to congress.
