S. w. Wis. Dental Association

A movement is on foot to establish a
permanent organization in this part of
the State to be known as the South
western Wisconsin Dental Association,
and that will meet at least once a year,
at various cities to be designated at each
proceeding meeting
There are in nearly every city of 1000
population one or two Dental surgeons,
some of them from the best schools OF
dentestry, and some probably not so
thoroughly finished in the professional
knowledge and practice These meetings
if attended with interest; and determi-
nation to reap what ever of benefit they
may afford, will, no doubt, form bless
ing to the profession and thus to their
patrons also There will be numerous
other advantages gained from such a
course, "a comparison and exchange of
ideas of special cases that come under
the treatment of the profession, will ac-
crue largely to the benefit of the mem
bers of the organization, and will be a
good means of refreshing the memory
on the latest methods of practice.
OF course all these benefits may be
gained by an attendance upon the meet
ings of the State organization, but only
the larger cities of the State are fay
ored with them and most of them are
too remote for attendance by those re-
siding in this part of the State.
The new move looks to the organi-
cation of several counties in the south
western part of the State, and the meet
ings to be held in the different cities at
stated intervals. Those who may be
come interested in the matter of organi-
zing, are referred to DR.. r. r. Powell
of Boscobel or DR.. j. II. Reed. of Ian
caster, Wis. The affair has been talked
of considerably during the past year
and indications point too success.

Farmers Institute.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

The work of the Farmers Institute
opened Wednesday morning at 1890 by
Chairman Wylie.
A very small delegation of farmers
was present but the number soon began
to swell until fair sized audience was
present. The opening address was de-
ferred and discussion on Breeding"
was led by w. H. Cole. He teok up the
subject of Horses and dwelt long on the
evil of keeping them to fleshy, and also
that of inter breeding between different
breeds. He thought that in any ami
NAL the cross between full-bloods result
ted in the most symmetrical offspring.
and the questions that come incidentally
from an experience In stock breeding
and its attendant difficulties
was thoroughly discussed and
remedial treatment suggested. In
case of baroness in horses, bleeding
prior to service was one of the suggest
ions. and another and safe method was
a single service. A good deal of exer-
else in stations was the general opinion
of experience. The discussion was
earnestly followed, and many profitable
experiences given to the meeting. The
chair announced at the close of the dis
cussion that the subject in hand was one
that would bear great deal more in
vestigation, but the meeting began late
and good deal of matter had to be
considered, and he announced the sub
ject of Manures, led by MIR. Conbey,
Mr.. ConbeY opened the address by
stating that a great many practices
were followed with the purpose of gain
ing the best results. The best salts
faction is given in not stirring the ma
nure. but to haul it out as soon as
formed and spreading it upon the
fields. Plenty of litter should be spread
where the stock is kept in order to
sufficiently absorb and retain moisture.

short time but is not very good
practice. Allowing fermentation to a
slight extent may give good results.
but care should be taken that it does
not go too far. Allowing the manures
to be exposed to the weather too much
will result disasterously as leeching will
render it partially Intellectual. As a
rule manure should be spread as soon
hauled out. The blowing of sod in
he fall season, ana during the winter
hauling out the manure accumulated
in the barns and sheds and giving the
powed ground a good coat, but not
too thickly spread. Surface applica-
ton to plowed land produces the best
results. Coarse manure are best
handled by blowing it under. MANURE
