Use of False Teeth.

Probably not less than 100000 Of
artificial teeth are manufactured in
this country each year, land still the
output goes on increasing Never be-
fore was such great care manifested
for teeth as has been exhibited during
the past five years. In this respect
Americans lead the world, not even the
fastidious French excelling the people
of the United States in their solicitude
for the preservation of natural teeth
and in their application of the arts Of
dental science when substitutes have
to be provided for natures molars.
Englishmen are VIGOROUSLY careless
about their teeth, although in late
years great progress has been made in
this matter. A prominent dentist of
New York declares that nearly every
patient with mouthful of decayed
teeth is a foreigner. ''They let things
drift and come only when pain drives
them here. Americans, and especially
southerners, hasten to their dentist i'm
mediately they detect even the slight
est signs of coming trouble, and the
result is that there are by far more
saved teeth in this country than in
any other. Englishmen and Irishmen
are remarkably apathetic about their
molars. New York Times.

AN ARMY OF CROP REPORTERS
No Less Than 100000 Turn in Infor-
nation to Uncle sam.


In gathering the necessary information
ploys ne less then 100000 reporters
Nine-tenths of the people being directly
concerned with the outeOn'e of the wheat
and corn crop il Is natural that great eff
fort should be made to get accurate sta
tigtics. Property in thousands Of vest
ern towns goes up or down just as the
crops are grown, and merchants expert
ence prosperous or dull times. according
to the size Of the crops in their neigh
borhood. The basis of the crop report
ing system is the greeting Of one farmer
to another: How is your wheat. JohnY'
His reply is given to someone else, the
news finally gets into town, and there the
correspondent of the government draws
his own conclusions and telegraphs them
to the Agricultural Department.
in this same locality may be a CORE
spondent Of some firm of brokers. His
opinion as to the crop may be different
from that of the government. as it often
is, and a difference of opinion and an
uncertainty about the crops in that region
will exist IN Wall street.
Sometimes this difference of opinion
in local observers may extend over an
entire wheat belt, where millions of
bushels are r.own annually. Such a
condition once prevailed in North Da-
kota, and firm Of spectators in Chi
cago sent a trained expert into the field
to make examinations. 1t cost them 81
coo to learn his opinions, which proved
to be wrong, causing them TO lose $50
900 by buying wheat. While the govern
ment agents may err in their estimates
they generally come nearer to the situa-
ton than anyone else.
There are thirty-eight special observ
ers stationed in various parts of the
country and each of these has hundreds
of reporters under his charge. The OBJ
servers make as nearly correct reports as
possible, but in the same neighborhood
are others who are sending in crop re-
ports directly to the Secretary of Agri-
culture. In fact in every township there
is some special correspondent who sends
in reports to the government about the
condition of growing crops.
IT is the most complete system of YER
ihcation afforded anywhere. The tele-
graph toll paid by the government in a
season runs into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
When all of these reports come whirl-
ing into the Agricultural Department at
Washington. there is great deal of work
for the clerks. Expert crop estimaters
are employed and from the reports of
each community composite report is
issued, being a correct and careful COM
pilation of all the estimates. There is
no guessworE, for every telegram and ev-
cry report is compared and balance is
struck

Handling Corr Crop.

In sections where the corn crop is
likely TO be short 1t must be handled
carefully to get the best results ffom
ii. If the corn is fed and one has
silo the corn should be cut as soon as
1t begins to dent and put into the silo
If without the sllo then the plan
should be to allow the corn to stand
as long as 1t is possible to do so
without danger Of frost. When it is
cut it should be carefully shocked and
fed in any way that is the most econ
omical. While the writer does not like
the plan of feeding it to cattle In
open yards or fields with hogs TO fol-
low, the plan is one Of economy, and,
perhaps, ought to be followed this
year by those who have done 1t here
tofore. If possible to shred the corn
ut should be done, for in this way the
cattle win consume the bulk of it.
Keep in mind the lesson which the
short corn crop teaches, the value of
the silo and plan for one another
year.

thoughts go Jack into exactly the same
groove that they were in as she walked,
like a woman in dream, down Portland
place. She was vexed. Of course, and
hurt-more than hurt, she was cut to the
heart; but after ALL her grandfather was
not essential TO her existence.

herself to look with interest at shops

In a recent address Secretary VIII
son, of the United States Department
of Agriculture, spoke as follows: Il
am sorry to say it, but it is fact,
that unless something is done right
away there win be very few tracts Of
timber left In the country within
fifteen years. 1t may be little longer,
but rot much" Later in his remarks
he also said; THE only remedy lies
in educating tae farmer up TO the
necessity of planting trees, and in the
government also planting"
This is certainly a startling condi-
ton of affairs and one which should
make every farmer, with land to
spare, more than willing to set out
forest trees. If not for his own profit.
for the benefit and protection of his
children and his children's children.

be glad to cooperate with any farmer
who is interested. Write the secretary
