A Mr. Crowley Of Lasalle, \. y.

have $4,000 in loose change about
their trousers pockets with which
to purchase acceptable sons-in-law.
Perhaps, too, Mr.. Crowley has DIS
turbed the son-in-law market by set
ling too high a figure on the first
bid. a son-in-law must be right
cute sort Of a fellow TO bring $4,000.
No doubt there are cheaper grades

DECEPTIVE DIPLOMAS.
OCuiists and Opticians Are
Confounded

Laws on the statue books OF almost
every state in the Union are directed
against the granting of bogus diplo-
mas or degrees in different depart
ments Of science, particularly in the
medical and surgical branches. Yet
there still exist institutions where
diplomas are bartered as CONNER
cial commodity-sold for so much
money. Only few days attendance
is necessary for man without any
previous experience, education or
school Of the character designated
is located in Chicago, which issues
so-called diplomas to persons after a
brief attendance, on payment of the
required fees, and they are forthwith
dubbed "Oph. d." or Doctor of Oph-
Technology.
In most instances the Individual is
! not TO blame, being himself deceived
! into the belief that the science Of
ophthaIrnology consists merely in
what he has been told at the insti-
tuition. That he is deceived is the
least of the harm done. He is liable,
| innocently, to mislead others, and do
| irreparable damage. even to the loss
| of eyesight or life. To be IA comp
| tent Oph. ID. IA man must also be II
! physician; must be versed in pays
| les, and particularly in that branch
which deals specially with light,
lenses,mlrrors, prisms, angles Of re-
| Election, refraction, critical angles.
| partial or total reflection. spherical
alteration, etc. TO comprehend
| these he must be a mathematician,
posted in algebra, euclid and trigo-
nometry. In addition he must have
| a thorough knowledge Of the anat-
omy, physiology, development, hist.
ology, pathology and therapeutics
of the eye.
| To be an opticjan man need have
! but little of this knowledge, as his
| business is not TO treat defects of the
| eye, but merely to fit glasses to ac-
| commodate inaccuracies of vision
| such as that resulting from advancing
years or natural near-sig htedness
| Opticians of this class are honored
and useful members of every bust
uess community. They make no
pretense of being oculists, and they
readily recognize that while the
| oculist is necessarily an optician, the
| optician may be merely one who sells
and fits spectacles, incident to his
! other business as IA jeweler, druggist
or notion dealer, for which he does
not need to know anything about the
structure or anatomy of the eye, or
how diseased eye should be treated
| But when the mere optician is de-
ceived into believing himself scien-
| tlflcally trained oculist, OF no better
authority than so-called diploma

The following from the State Agri-
cultural Experimental Station at
Madison Is just received, and cheer
fully published for the benefit of our
farmer readers and others whom it
may concern:
The loss TO the farmers OF Wiscon-
sin due to smut ia oats amounts to
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually, AL of which may be saved by
treating the seed oats before plant
ing at very slight cost.
A method for preventing oat smut
has now been found that is cheap
and simple. All that is necessary is
to thoroughly saturate the seed oats
with solution made by adding one
pound of tO,mdiiH to 30 gallons of
water, allowing the seed oats to re-
main saturated for two hours before
spreading them out to dry.
70 use this remedy, place a layer
of oats 3 or I inches thick on the
barn floor and sprinkle them with
the turmuliu solution until they are
entirely wet. Then another layer
may be placed ON top of the first
layer and -pruklgd as before, re-
pcatiug the process until all the
seed oats have been -priukled Then
leave them in the pile for tw" hours,
when they should be spread out
thinly to dry. They should be shov-
cled over once or twice a day
until dry, II they are to be
sowu broadcast, IL will not be neces-
sary to dry them.
Formalin may be purchased at
any drug store, and costs from 30 to
80 cent, per pound About one gal
Ion of the solution is enough to
sprinkle "A bushcl Of oats, hence one
pound of formnliu is enough to treat
5O bushels of seed oats.
Formaiiu is uot dangerous to use,
and does not rorrodr the flesh. The
oats will not bee likely TO he injured

what longer than two hours.
