with More Than Horse Sense.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal
Familiar to the eyes OF all horsemen
in and about Lewiston for several
years has been veteran white horse
formerly driven by Lewiston tailor,
and more lately owned by the driver
OF lob team. The horse has always
been accredited with more than com
mon horse sense. He came of long
and valued strain OF blood, whence, no
doubt, he drew the finer perceptions OF
his nature. This horse was driven in
to the barn at Reuben Merrow's in
Auburn, Saturday, before the ill-fated
funeral which was interrupted by a
fire. He was tied firmly out OF reach
of the hay, and the barn doors were
closed behind him. They were the
old fashiones swinging barn doors, with
apole across their center horizontally.
Later, as is known, the barn was dis-
covered in flames. Out of the flames
came a pig with a circle of fire
around him from his burning bris-
ties. The horse was supposed to
have persisted, as flames were is
suing in great volume from out
the open doors The horse had not
however, suffered sucha fate. He was
discovered, face toward the fire, fifty
rods from the yard, with nostrils di.
lated and a brown SINCE on his fore
lock. He was scared and bruised, and
his harness was hanging in pieces. The
horse seems to have reversed the &C.
cepted course OF action which horses in
view OF fire are said to pursue. The
marks about his head show that he
pulled upon his halter as the fire swept
down in front OF him, breaking finally
the bits, and, in so doing, falling upon
his side. Then he backed through the
shut doors. knocking the paint Of
the buggy, but finally escaping with
everything but the halter. The doors
must have given firm resistance, and
it is wonderful that the horse was
able TO break through them. The
harness was repaired and the team
driven home to Lewiston where the
horse at night-fall ate comfortable
supper out OF his own crib.

The teeth, number sixteen in each
law. Atoothconsists OF enamel, which
covers the dentine. The part below,
where the gums end, is covered by a
yellow cementum. The dark central
cell Is the pulp cavity into which the
nerves and blood vessels penetrate,
and from which thetooth isnourished.
The child set consists oftwenty teeth.
Brush them gently twice daily, using
a soft brush with bristles OF uneven
length. The object of brushing is to re
move particles of food, and the deposit
of saliva from between the
teeth. and out of the hollows.
Therefore, brush the upper teeth
downward and thelower teeth upward.
Have the hard yellow deposit (tarter)
removed by dentist, otherwise 1t
crowds the gums away from the teeth,
exposing the root, and inviting decay.
Never file or scrape the teeth with a
metallic instrument. DO not have
teeth pulled ifyoucan prcventit. Save
them by filling and care. Unless chill
dren's first teeth ache constantly, do
not null them out as the jaw contracts
and the second teeth may be crooked.
The second teeth will force the useless
first teeth out. Baby teeth number
ten on each jaw; any abovethat mum,

should not be removed.--Warner $

Chlorine rs a Disinfectant.

An investigation reported upon by
DR.. Klein is the application ofchlorine
rs an air disinfectant, especially in re-
Spect to swine disease. Ii has been
shown that this disease is highly infec-
tious, and that infection is easily CON
veyed by the air--the usual manner OF
the communication OF the disease. 1t

ed asto the extent to whichthis atmos-
pheric communicabilify obtained in IN
atmosphere impregnated with as much
chlorine as the animals could endure
without evineing discomfort. Ii was
found that healthy animal could,
with safety, beplaced in the same com
partment with a diseased pig, even for
so long time as six hours, for five
successive days, provided the air in the
compartment was maintained well
flmigated with chlorine gas, two good
fumigations up TO a marked pungency

also found that one good fmigation
with chlorine neutralized eifectually the
virus in accompaniment from which a

another animal could be placed in il

Rad Cond,tion Of winter wheat.

The reports OF thecondition OF wheat
all over the United States and Canada
are deplorable. Many farmers lose
their whole crop and are blowing the
ground for Spring sowing. Last year
many farmers did the same thing, and
in many cases regretted their haste.
Half crop is better than TO destroy
what is left and go TO the expense OF a
new blowing and seeding, with all the
risks of the season. As a rule the
wheat RECEIVERS very quickly and turns
out better than might have been ex-
pected A correspondent last year,
who wrote us for advice In re-
gard to plowing up his Fab
wheat, let it stand, as wesuggested, and
wrote afterward that he was very ia
vorably disappointed at the result.
The writer has so often experienced
the same gratifying disappointment
that poor-looking field, however
wretched it may appear is never
plowed, but is seeded thickly with
grass and is either narrowed or
brushed, and although the grain may
be thin the grass always does so much
better as TO restore the balance Grass
follows wheat as rule, and half
a crop OF wheat with n good catch of
grass is far better than disturbing the
rotation by blowing up the wheat.
