CITY DENTISTS OF GERMANY
Their Method Of Work in Treating
the Children Of the NUM-
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,
1855 children were examined last year,
699 teeth were filled, and 2,912 were ex-
tracted. The method of work is simple.
The teacher brings his class to the den
tist, who examines each mouth quickly
and marks on the card each child has
brought whether treatment is neces-
sary. II so, the child must come again
on a Saturday. Russia is also joining
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.
If it is true that generally speaking
good teeth are necessary to good health
and long life, and If, also, large and
growing proportion of citizens have not
good teeth, then 1t follows that the fact
is one of public corcern. 1t 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 $20.oO0,000 city
halls, public parks, expositions, etc?
This little, or large realization of pre-
ventive medicine has SO far got into our
American minds that we have ordered
the soldiers teeth to be attended to and
his goveYfmental service by so 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 NARRAGANSETT TURKEY.
Mixed with this is the finish of metallic
black and bronze luster. They are beau
tiful in form and feather and breed true
to shape and color. The female has .
lighter shade of gray in her markings
than the male. Her entire color
throughout is of lighter shading.
Size.-The standard weights Of this
variety are, for males. from 20 to 30
pounds, according to age; for females,
IL to 18 pounds. Some old males of both
this and the bronze variety weigh over
40 pounds. These weights are excessive
and of but little advantage in breeding;
medium-siZed males and females are
more valuable for producing stock.
None Of the several varieties of turkeys
of this variety are fine in form of breast
and body, not SO long in the leg as the
Bronze, and of rather more contented
nature. The do not. average so large
in size as the Bronze, but where grown
they are highly valued. Some declare
that the Narrangansetts will reach
market size and condition in less time
than the Bronze trukeys, but the writer
has not been able to ascertain the trutt
of this statement.

No one answered, relxtes the Chicago

Not man had anything to say.

FALL FLOWING.
Opinion That It Tends to Rob the
Land Of Much Of It's
Fertility,

The fall-break1ng question must be
settled 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 great deal OF
nitrogen during the wet weather of
winter and early spring, while un-
broken land, that is even sparsely COW
cred with any green crop. loses an in
appreciable amount This loss is not
20 easily detected on our rich prairie
soils, nor is it SO great where the land
Is hard frozen for long periods, but
the question is, can we afford to lose
any OF that element of fertility that
costs us Is cents per pound to restore?
If we thought that we must break
our lands very deeply, we would be
very much inclined to do the work in
the 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 help
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 in
spring.
AS we come better to understand the
problems connected with agriculture.
we find that we have, in the past, done
many things that were entirely un-
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 plow
end merely disk and harrow the sur
face in the spring a few days before
planting. In private experiments we
have found this to be preferable to
breaking the land with share and
mold board plow.
St. Tammany farmer., 1904-12-24

foot Of the table the plants to be sup
piled with water Should be grouped, as
our picture shows. For each plant take
a length of worsted, at one end of which
tie small stone, or anything that will
act as weight. Soak the worsted 3
moment in the water, and then, leaving
at the bottom Of the bowl the end to
which the weight Is attached, let the
other end of the length of worsted hang
down over the bowls edge. Particular
ly, however. take care that the end of
the worsted hanging outside comes
lower than the bottom Of the bowl.
Doing this, you have in reality con-
structed syphon, and as long as there
is water in the bowl it will, by travelling
first up the length of worsted that is in
side the bowl-see dotted lines-and
then down the hanging portion outside,
slowly drip upon the plants below.
To be sure that all is in working order,
It is well to set the appliance working,
say, the day before leaving it. And, of
course, the greater the volume of water
originally provided, and the fewer the
lengths Of worsted draining from it,
the longer the supply of water will last.

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

When an apiarist finds, In the fall,
that his colonies have scarcity OF
stores, he must feed bountifuily. In the
spring, if he finds short stores, he must
feed also, with sugar sirup. Even =
colony which has enough honey to tide
it over till honey flow is stimulated by
a treat now and then of the warm sirup.
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 a meas
ure takes the place of pollen. In pre-
pairing food for the oees, use white
granulated sugar or coffee A sugar, and
il possible it is best to mix with honey
and water.
Equal proportions of water and sugar
just brought to a boil makes sirup of
good consistency, but many apiarists
prefer the sugar thoroughly dissolved
in the hot water. 1t is wrong to use any
inferior grade Of sweets or to use mo-
lasses in feeding the bees. 1t would be
especially unwise in the fall, when the
bees were storing up for the winter, as
such feed would produce diarrhea.
There are number of methods OF
feeding bees and many contrivances
have been invented to facilitate feeding
and also to supply the sirup 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
a trough feeder. Fill the trough, which
Is merely followed out, oblong pieces of
wood with lengthwise partitions, on
which the bees perch themselves to sip,
with warm sirup, and set at the hive en-
frances at nightfall, or else set the
trough over the frames. If 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
NIL small brown paper bags with sirup
making pin-pricks in the bottom of the
bags, and place these bags over the
frames. II 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 good way of feeding, but
not so stimulating as the warm sirup.
II colony Is found in the spring weak
and short on stores, On excellent way to
build 1t up is to give it one or two frames
OF brood and honey from a strong cYi-
ony.
