Of charlatanism and graft" made this
interesting declaration:
"While such things exist in dentistry,
as in all businesses, there is far more
of it among gilt edged practitioners
than along the modest level where, for
example, / work Some men enjoying
the most fashionable clientele are the
rankest frauds either in ability or in
representation of work done.
"But dentist never can fool den
fist. Often a patient will get into my
chair for the first time, and in a casual
conversation | will ask who last treat
ed the teeth. The name always comes.

lists in that way in half minute, and

Results of Two Years Test at A girl
cultural College Substations
Given Out.

Madison, Wis, March 30.-The re-
suits of two years tests with grains
and forage plants on the Iron river,
Ashland, and Superior experimental
hubstation farms conducted by the.
college of agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin are given in a
bulletin entitled Grain and Forage
Plants for Northern Wisconsin," pre-
pared by Professor r. A. Moore, and
e. j. Delwiche.
Of the grain crops adapted to the
older section of the northern half of
Wisconsin, barley holds prominent
place. Tests on the substation farms,
and cooperative tests with farmers il
northern counties indicate that barley
of excellent quality can be produced
especially when it is grown on rich
loan and clay soils. The acreage de-
voted to corn is yet small, but by inn
proved methods of culture and the use
of varieties we'll adapted and ac-
climated to the region it is believed
that corn viii become one of the i'm
portant crops The Importance of
clover is due not only to its high feed
ing value for all classes of stock, but
to it's value for increasing and main
tanning soil fertility. In 1906 a yield
of nearly nine tons per acre were OBJ
tanned of sugar beets, which were
above the average in quality. The ex-
pertinent showed that nitrogen is the
one element that needs to be supplied
for raising good crop of sugar beets
on this soil.

NAL is in bad health.
"You can read a pigs condition by
it's tail. The tighter it is curled the
filter is the pig. And when the tail
hangs straight, as this one does, the
pig ought to take to his bed and send
for the veterinary" - New Orleans

the theory was untenaDle. After the
trusts were driven out of business
what would the working men do, in
case of the steel trust for instance?
He added:
His second proposition, that a
sliding scale be applied to duties on
other articles until they are restored
to revenue basis is fraught with
equal danger. Governor Hughes has
already pointed out that this constant
reduction means continual tinkering
with the tariff, and consequently con-
tinual agitation and unrest
Tariff Revision, Not Tariff Reform.
"In this consideration of the tariff
do not permit yourselves to be de-
ceived. Tariff revision does not mean
tariff reform The democratic party
has constantly clamored for tariff re-
form until that term has come to
have a we'll understood meaning.
While it might be somewhat difficult
TO define it, We know full Wen that it
does not mean protection. Republic
cans are in favor of revising the tar
if, but they are not in favor of tariff
reform Recognizing the fact that
time and changing conditions have
rendered some, possibly many, sched-
ules out of proportion to the real
needs or requirements of business.
the republican party win enter upon
the subject of revision without pre-
iudica ond with the sole and OIItt
purpose being that of readjusting the
tariff schedules to meet present con-
ditions and present needs. 1t is the
only party that has ever successfully
handled the question of tariff revision,
and it can be fully relied upon to- deal
with it next year in accordance with
the pledge made in the platform"
