Doctors Must Know Tastes.

do doctors know how their own
medicine tastes?" vas a question put
to a group Of physicians.
'To be sure" said one, "but we
have hard work to convince our pa,
tients that we do. If you only knew
how this beastly stuff tastes, doctor,
you wouldn't ask me to take it, is
the complaint they make when dozed
with an especially disagreeable con-
coction. And they are h~ard-headed
people, too, who say that-people who
are by no means Taving in delirium.
No matter how sincerely l may pro-
test it is hard to persuade them that
| do know how the stuff tastes just
as we'll as they do.

is one of their trump questions. You
have never been laid up with all

at never occurs to the average
patient that tasting drugs Is a part
of a medical students education, and
that no man is qualified to practice
until he has learned the favor of the
medicines he prescribes."-New York

NEED OF FOREST PLANTING.

Forests are Indispensable to the
highest material development Of any
country. W. have learned that, be-
sides furnishing the useful timber prod
ucts resulting from the growth of
trees, they conserve moisture, anchor
ate climatic extremes, and purify the
atmosphere. Where they are not found
naturally, or where they have been
thoughtlessly removed from wide
stretches of country, it becomes de-
sirable i'll behalf of the public welfare
to plant trees in great number. OBJ
viously the benefits of such plantations
will be most widely felt if the planting
is we'll distributed over the region.
Further, it is a work the benefits of
which are shared by all and which
all should join in performing.
The plantations in a definite region
should be made after one general plan,
in order to allot to each farm its pro-
p%ortionate amount of forest. The
method of planting and the position of
the planting sites should evidently be
made with reference to a system OF
farm management, since a forest is the
most permanent thing that can be
planted on a farm.-G. L. Clothier.

FAIL MULCHrNG OF TREES.

If it is thought necessary to apply
mulch around the base Of trees or
shrubs as a winter protection care
must be used not to do the work too
soon, particularly il anything in the
nature of a fertilizer is used, such as
coarse stable manure, for there is al
ways danger Of melting renewed
growth in the tree just as it is be-
ginning to 60 to; sleep for the winter,
and this growth, being extremely ten
der, will be killed by the first cold
weather, probably with much injury
to the tree. A better plan Is not to
apply the mulch until the ground
freezes, applying more, if necessary.
later on.
BY far the best plan of all is to
use earth with which to protect the
roots of the tree or shrub during the
first cold days; put it on several inches
thick for three feet around the tree.
Later, if it gets too cold, a little coarse
manure may be put on over the soil.
BY this plan the tree OF shrub will
have full protection without danger
of melting a late growth.-Indian-

oARBoN1c ACID FROM ROOTS.

A Russian scientist has been study
ing the amount of carbon di oxide set
free from the roots of plants during
their development. 1t Is well known
that carbon di oxide, or carbonic acid,
is one of the most powerful agents in
the solution of plant food in the soil.
1t was found that a plant of mustard
during the whole period of growth
liberated in the soil 22,437 grams of
carbon di oxide. This will be enough
to account for a great deal that takes
place in the soil which the chemists
analysis does not reveal, and will show
us how matters they call insoluble are
made available to plants In the soil
through the action of the roots of the
plants themselves. In this experiment
with the mustard it was shown that
the amount of carbon oil oxide evolved
was sufficient to render soluble all
the elements of the ash of the entire
plant if it were necessary to assimi-
late these from insoluble matters. The
phosphorus in pulverized rock is de-
clared insoluble by chemists. But we
know that plants do get and use it,,
and the above is some indication OF
how they do it. The study Of soils
and roots in the soil is but at the be-
ginning point, and there is a great
deal yet to learn, and far more than
can be learned in the chemical labora-
tory.-Indianapolis News.

SINGULAR Effect of Water Pressure.

Turk, the pet fox terrier OF L.. A.
Mcintosh, superintendent of the MI
das mine at Harrison Gulch, met
death in a peculiar way. Mcintosh
had occasion to go to the penstock
above the mill. The dog accom-
panied him. From the penstock to
the mill is a water-pipe 5000 feet
long carrying water at a pressure
of 1,470 feet. The outlet Is a nozzle
an inch and a half in diameter.
Turk got frisky when he reached
the penstock and fell in. He went
through the 5000 feet of pipe with.
out a step. The dogs body meas
ured five and a half feet long by an
inch across when he left the nozzle.
The employees expected every min
ute the pipe system would burst and
were hastily preparing for the en-
ergency.-San Francisco Call.
