y recent news telegram from York
Pa, says. with the return to the
county commissioners to-day of the last
registry assessors book it was shown
by the totals that the population of
voters in the county has decreased in
six months nearly 400. The shrinkage
in the male population Is attributed by
the commissioners to the descrtion of
the farms by young men, most of whom
have been iured to Philadelphia ana
other cities under the impression that
they can speedily make fortunes.

Splitting OF Citrus Eruit

Splitting of citrus fruit frequently
follows heavy rains when these occur
just about the ripening season, espe-
cially during the latter portion of Octo-
Der, says Z. II. Rolls, of the Florida
experiment station. When splitting is
due to purely physical conditions the
fluit splits open from the bloom end
usually, and leaves a very sharp and
we'll defined edge on sides Of the wound
As the conditions which cause this
splitting are beyond our control the
remedy for 1t likewise seems to be be-
yond our ability.

Treatment of the Soil.

We have but little more definite
knowledge of the soil and the principles
involved in its treatment than we had
sixty years ago, says the Sclentlnc
American. Fertility is not nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium alone,
though the potential value of any Held,
or State, or country, from the agrlcui-
tural standpoint, is measured by these
constituent elements in its soil; yet 1t
has been demonstrated that soils when
and which are potentially capable OF
producing crops for centuries perhaps,
are not capable of producing prohtaoie
crops without the addition of further
amounts of these constituents. The
chemical investigator is, therefore, com
PEELED to take into consideration other
facts than this. He must If he would
cover the whole field, know something
of geology. of botany, of physics, of
biology, of bacteriology. and OF the
other natural sciences, because chem-
istry alone is not capable of fully com
passing the problem; thus, the oppor-
tunity for specializing in any branch
has been very great and it is because
of the broadness of the subject, anu
the opportunity, as already pointed out
and the necessity, also, for giving lmine-
date help from the knowledge that we
have that has prevented in degree a
broad study of the fundamentals essen
tial for enabling genuine progress to be
made

BOGUS ELK TEETH.
An Industry That Proves Profitable tC
the Northwest Indians

Tourists in the Black Hills this fail
SAY that the Sioux Indians are doing a
| good business in working off artificial
elk teeth upon unsuspecting visitors.
The Indians take small pieces Of bone,
polish them and fashion them into the
shape of the real elk tooth. a squaw or
a buck will dangle one of these at the
end of a string necklace and mingling
with q crowd of tourists will easily lind
a purchaser. They usually get 50 for
one of the limitations, which cannot east
ly be told from the genuine They carry
the fraud to the point even of brown
ing the end of the tooth to indicate that
it is of considerable age.
Elk teeth have been the principal
ornaments OF the Sioux, Crows, Crees,
Bannocks and other northwestern tribes
for centuries. They are supposed TO also
have value in wardng off back luck, and
1t has always been part Of the Indian
creed that it is necessary to bury them
with the dead owner.
The principal demand for the teeth
comes from members of the ElkS and
has caused a big increase i'll prices III the
last few years, Two years ago well
marked tooth could be bought for $40
and the best for SO. Nowadays a good
one brings $50.
Most of the real elk teeth now in the
market came from the graves of dead
INDIANS. FROM the grave OF SIOUX
chief at Pine Ridge, :. d., GIG teeth
were taken. This chief according to
legend, was one Of the greatest hunters
of his time. Many of the teeth were
beautifully colored from the gay shades
of the Indian blanket in which the chief
had been buried.
+. Il. Pelz, wealthy manufacturer
of San Francisco, is reputCd to have the
largest collection of teeth He is said to
have more than 1900 pairs the result
of nine years of work He says that all
of them were obtained in the northwest
from Indians who dug them from graves
for him. Only the two eye teeth of the
animal are available as ornaments.
These are usually perfect and well
grown, while the others are deiormed
and ugly. An Indian, even in these days,
will seldom sell the tooth of any elk
he has himself killed. They have no
computations, however. about opening
the graves of the dead for them,

churns, which nevertheless contains
most of the principles of the older
churns. The only change is In the
application of the power mechanism.
In this machine tine power is so placed
that little effort is required to operate
it. \ foot pedal is added and the
hand power is entirely different from
the Old method Instead of forcing the
paddle UP from the churn after every
descent with the hands, springs are
placed beneath the hand grips which
do the forcing automatically. 1t would
