FALL PL OWING.
Opinion That T Tends to Rob the
Land Of Much Of It's
Fertility.

The faIl-breaking question must be
Bettled by every farmer to suit his own
conditions, but We think it safe to lay
down the general principle that fall
breaking tends to rob the land of much
ct its fertility, says the Farmers
Voice. The Rothamstead and other
experiments have proved conclusively
that the bare soil loses a great deal Of
nitrogen during the wet weather of
winter and early spring, while I'M
broken land, that is even sparseIy COW
cred with any green crop, loses an in
appreciate amount This loss is mt
no easily detected on our rich prairie
soils, nor is it SO great where the land
rs hard frozen for long periods, but
tbs question is, can we afford to lose
any OF that element Of fertility that
costs US Is cents per pound to restore?
1t We thought that we must break
our lands very deeply, we would be
very much inclined to do the work In
tfle fall, early enough to permit Of
seeding Of wheat or rye. We would do
this deep breaking preferably in the
fall, SO as to allow the frosts to helm
reestablish the connection between the
upper and the subsoil, as regards water
supply, and would sow the grain to pre-
serve the. nitrogen IN the soil and
would harrow or disk it under ia
spring.
As we come better to understand the
problems connected with agriculture.
we ind that we have, in the past, done
many things that were entirely nm
necessary to the making OF a good
crop. Some Of the best farmers. who
g1oW corn after corn on very rich
lands, have abandoned the practice Of
breaking" as the term is understood
TO mean turning the soil with a n1ow
end merely disk and harrow the s17r-
face in the spring a few days before
planting. In private experiments We
have found this to be preferable 10

CITY DENTISTS or GERMANY
Their Method OF Wor& ii Treating
the Children Of the Mum
cipality.

Municipal dentists are appointed and
paid for BY many Of the large towns and
cities Of Germany, says the American
Medicine In Strasburg, for example.
2,666 children were examined last year,
699 teeth were filed, and 2,912 were ex-
tracted The method Of work is simple
The teacher brings his class to the den
fist, who examines each mouth quickly
and marks on the card each child has
brought whether treatment is neces-
sary. If SO. the child must come again
on a Saturday. Russia is also JOHNS
in this movement, and has already fitted
up nine such institutions in st. Peters
burg alone. And why not, or rather,
why SO late in coming, one might ask.
good teeth are necessary to good health
and long life, and if, also, large and
growing proportion of citizens have not
good teeth, then it follows that the fact
is one of public cor Germ. It is not. for
instance of as much Importance to the
community that Workmen should have
good masticating and digesting powers
as that there should be s20,000,000 city
halls, public paris, expositions. etc?
This little or large. realization Of pre-
Ventive medicine has SO far got ir to our
American minds that we have ordered
the soldiers teeth to be attended to and
his governmental service BY 50 much en-
HANGED. But the soldier is at last paid
BY the civil worker, and as to his teeth
and service we are entirely Indifferent.

The JAPs AND THE MULE
Rice Growers OF Nippon are Not Anx-

Inc matter. The American mule is

On the day In question made the
negro mad and the fight began. In
the first place, the negro broke his
water jug over the mules head. This
did not feaze the animal Grabbing
the mule by the ears and taking
good, firm grip, the black man landed
with vigor between the mules ears,
using his head as a weapon. The blow
was knockout blow all right, but
the trouble was that it knocked the
negro out also. Both mule and negro
fell to the ground like dead. In
short while both were fairly good
friends again. The Japs are right
They will need special training on

and the negro is about the best man
they can get to do the training"

FEEDING THE BEES.
The Precautions Which Must Be
Taken in the Fall to Secure
Strong Colonies.

When an apiarfst finds in the fall,
that his colonies have a scarcity OF
stores, he must feed bountifully In the
spring, If he finds short stores, he must
feed also, with sugar strip Even .
colony which has enough honey to tide
it over till honey flow is stimulated By
treat now and then Of the warm strip,
writes Ellen Brainerd, in the New Eng
land Homestead. Before it is possible
for the bees to gather pollen, it is well
to place some rye flour where they can
get it. It employs them and in meas
ure takes the place of pollen. In pre-
pairing food for the oees, use white
graduated sugar or coffee A sugar, and
II possible it is best to mix with honey
and water.
Equal proportions of water and sugar
just brought to a boil makes a strip OF
good consistency. but many apiarists
prefer the sugar thoroughly dissolved
IN the hot water. It is wrong to use any
inferior grade Of sweets or to use mo-
lasses in feeding the bees. It would be
especially unwise in the fall, when the
bees We're storing up for the winter, as
such feed would produce diarrhea.
There are number of methods OF
FEEDING bees and many contrivances
nave been Invented to facilitate feeding
and also to supply the strip in such a
way as not to attract nor feed robber
bees. A good and inexpensive feeder is
the little simplicity trough feeder. Any
one who is mechanical can easily make
q trough feeder. Fill the trough, which

wood with lengthwise partitions, on
which the bees perch themselves to sip.
with warm strip. and set at the hive en-
frances at nightfaIl, or else set the
trough over the frames. II this latter
method is adopted, the super must be
placed on the hive to make space for
the trough.
Another simple way OF feeding is to
MI small brown paper bags with strip,
making pin-pricks in the bottom Of the
bags. and place these bags over the
frames. # the feeding is done In the
super space, it must be done in the day,
as the empty super would chill the hive
at night A cake of hard sugar candy,
placed on the top of the frames, over the
brood nest, is a good way of feeding, but
not SO stimulating as the warm strip.
II colony is found in the spring weak
and short on stores an excellent way to
build it up IS to give it one or two frames
OF brood and honey from strong eei-
ony.
