WHERE ARE THE TURkEYS7
Yes, where are the big red headed
turkey gobblers that spread their tails,
displayed their crimson crayats and
posed and strutted on. the fence at the
old wagon shed?
A few years ago as we drove through
the country we gazed on focks of
giant bronze and Hollands. white as
snow, gathered round the big barn,
roosting in the trees and gazing and
gobbling from the fences and the
yards. Today we may drive for miles
through fertile farm lands, we may go

ART OF DENTISTRY.
Was Praetiesd by the Ansleo1l
Thousands of Years AGO.

Thousands OF Years Ago.
It will surprise many persons to
learn that false teeth, gold caps and
fllings and dental bridges are by
no means modern creations. Six
thousand years ago and probably
long before the dawn of Greek civ
ilixation the skill of the dentist had
reached high degree of perfection.
Cicero in his treatise 'sDe Natura
Deorum" ascribes the invention of
tooth drawing to Aesculapius, third
of that name. The first mention of
dentistry, according to the British
Medical Journal, is found in Hip
pocrates, who in several parts of
his writings has a good deal to say
abou too+hache. From the Phoe-
nicians the art found its way to the
Etruscans. At the international
congress held in Rome in 1900 Pro-
fessor Guerini exhibited several
specimens of dental art which prov
ed that something very much akin
10 bridge work was practiced in an
cient Italy SO efficiently that it has
lasyed thirty centuries.
Artificial crowns have also been
found in Etruscan tombs. Artif-
cial dentures go back to a remote
antiquity. DR.. Deneffe states that
In the museum of the University of
Client there is a set of artificial
teeth found in a tomb at Orvieto
with jewels and Etruscan vases. He
gives their date as from five to six
thousand years before Christ.
In collection of antique surgical
apparatus made by DR.. Lambros
there is an artificial denture found
in tomb at Tanagra, near Thebes,
which is believed to belong to the
third or fourth century before the
Christian era. Teeth stopped with
gold have been found in Greek
tombs. In the temple Of Apollo at
Delphi there was, according to Era
sistratus, a nephew of Aristotle and
physician to Seleucus Nicator, king
of Syria, 354 B. c., a leaden instru-
ment which was used in the extrac-
tion. of teeth. Obviously an instru-
ment of lead could have bsen used
only for loose teeth.
In the laws of the twelve tables
made by the Roman decemvirs in
450 B. G. it was expressly forbidden
to bury or burn gold with dead bod
les except when used for wiring the
teeth. In the construction of false
teeth recourse was had by the an
clients to bone and horn. Some
times human teeth were employed.
Benzoni found in some mummies
artificial teeth made of sycamore.
In the first century of our era false
teeth were very common among the
Romans.
Dentistry shared in the decay of
the arts during the middle ages,
and we read that when st. Louis
died in 1870, although he was only
ffty-fve, he had but one tooth in
the upper jaw. French surgeons,
notably Ambrose Pare, took lead
ing part in the revival of dentistry.
Louis XIV.'s dentist used only in
strlments of gold in operating on
the teeth of his august patient.
From the time of Pare onward the
highest dentistry was in the hands
of surgeons, extraction being left to
BARRIERS and quacks.

FEATHERS AND EGesHELLs.

Turkeys are thick as grasshoppers
in Texas. The Lone Star State has
shipped 100000 pounds of turkey
this season. That's a nice bunch of
money for the rangers who have TAX
en- the blue ribbon for turkey produc-
ton. Go to Texas if you wish to get
the 'know how"
When the authorities Of the Dan
vile PR) Insane asylum advertised
for 1000 pounds of live turkey only
one reply was received from the home
county. Center county filed the con-
tract. All the turkeys were nine
pounds or over at 1S cents per pound.
1t takes 5000 pounds of turkey for the
this institution.
when the cats away the mice will
play" in that patent dry feed hopper
which Ia warranted to hop. Whether
it brings a big crop of eggs we know
not, but it certainly is an automatic
sure hatch mouse incubator.
Have you heard the news from Mis-
souri,? Her last annual report shows
a poultry product of $4O,OOO,OOO. Her
hens laid 107, ,155, ,65S dozens of eggs,
worth $l6,0OO,OOO. Missouri heads the
band The great American hen has
knocked out the great Missouri mule.
How shall 1 get fresh eggs? Fresh
eggs are composed of good strains,
good pains, good brains and good
grains. Mix these we'll in a scientific
manner, and you will have eggs to
burn.
Every time a hen cackles she does
not lay. any more than every time you
speak you say something that will
make you famous. The hen tells a lie
to get some feed and drink that you
have neglected to give her. We will
forgive her, but we can't forgive you
unless you do better.
In distributing gifts of poultry don't
forget the poor preacher. If you do,
traditions of the fathers will die out.
However, let us quietly remind you
that the Baptist preachers prefer wa
terfoWl.
When your hens get the roup, be sure
to call the neighbors in. They will
surely tell you what you ought not to
do After you have filed them up with
red pepper, castor oil, axle grease, pat
ent poultry feeds and bug juice, top off
with liniment. Liniment will cure any
thing from a corn to a cracked smoke
pipe It's the great American panacea.
If these all fail, call in the family ply
siciSn.
"Fhe early bird catches the worm
has its exceptions. You will not get
early winter eggs if you snooze all
morning. The best hens lay early. If
YOU feed fifteen minute mash at or
o'clock. your best hen will be on the
nest and will get left. If she gets
left, you get left.
DO you prepare your birds for the
shows? Let conscience and the stand
ard guide you. These people who cut
off extra points, pull out feathers and
dye wing flights here may get blue
ribbons in this world, but the devil
will get them in the next

CHICKEN FEATHER MILLINERY

Some of our lady friends who still
wear feathers in their hats in defiance
Of the Audubon society will not hold
their heads so high when they learn
that many of the swell millinery estab,
lishments have large and increasing
trade with some of our big poultry
plants.
We have seen many a sickle feather
adorning thirty dollar hat, and many
a blackbird perched on bellies bonnet
is simply a cushion stuffed with Black
Minorca feathers, while often a church
choir prima donna has kept time to
her solo with plume plucked from a
Japanese bantam cock.
Vhe Seabright bantams, the Silver
Spangled and Golden Penciled Ham
burgs, the Gold and Silver Polish,
the Houdans, the Games, the Andalu-
slams, the Leghorns, the pheasants, the
pigeons, the ducks and the geese, af-
ford all variety of color and furnish
materials for fads and fancies to glad
den any debutante's heart.
Indeed, the day is coming when the
fastidious fashionable will run chicken
millinery plants of her own or compel
her better half to breed stock that will
bring only feathers that are in style.
And, as the styles often change over
night, the poultryman will be at his
wits end to keep up with the process
sion.
That will be a sad day for the poul-
try business, for only the poultrymen
who eau control the styles or get tips
from headquarters will have success,
while the rest will be hung up in the
garret with the old bonnets, cloaks and
hoopskirts that are out of date.
