PROFESSION AN OLD ONE
That Aneients Knew the Art Of
Dentistry Has Been Abundantly
Proved by Discoveries Made.

Tooth-puIling is doubtless as an
cient surgical operation. IL so II may
be called, as is known to mankind, but
tooth-filling has been supposed 10 be q
modern invention. Herodotus. and OF
course. Galen, knew something about
dentistry. but apparently not about
filings. But as early as the sixteenth
century there is found printed EVIL

not generally practiced.
The assertion that Egyptian mum
mics have been found with gold-filled
teeth is now generally thought to be
an error arising out OF the fact that
the Egyptians o'-en gilded the teeth
OF mummies for ornament. The ques-
ton comes up in connection with the
explorations OF Professor Savills Of
Columbia. in Ecuador. He found many
pre.Azteo skulls perhaps 1000 years
old OF a type superior to the AEtecs.
and what was especially remarkable
was that their teeth showed both gold
and cement filing.
The gold-hlled teeth struck him as

teeth filled or ornamented with stoue,

LEARNING VALUE OF
INTENSIVE FARMING
Small Areas Made to Pay Higher
Returns Proportionately
Than Larger Ones.

AS population increases. we are be-
ginning to learn the value of tnten-

a good market. 1t is being demon
strated that small areas may be made
to pay as high or higher returns on
the labor and money expended, as the
larger farms. AS an example OF this

HELPFUL HINTS FOR
PRACTICAL FARMER
Get After Weeds in Fence Cor
ners-Provide Water Supply
for Horses in Field.

The weeds are getting in their good
ticks in fence corners these days. Go
TO them.
Take barrel OF water to the field
every morning for the horses. repeat
ing at noon. It's too hard on horse to
work him five hours in the hot sun
without water.
Very young ducklings will die from
sunstroke. See that they are kept in
the shade during the heat of the day.
Never drink extremely cold water ex-
cept in small quantities these torrid
days. Deaths occur from this indis-
erection, and not infrequently either.
Do not leave any stun in the feeding
troughs these days of all days; it
sours so quickly. Flush them out with
water-clean water
The first green corn-fodder will be
relished by the hogs.
That the stock be well watered is
more important these days than at
any other time.

After the vegetables are matured
there is tendency to let the weeds
take care Of themselves, and they do
1t to the tune of hundreds OF thousands
OF seeds annually.
Some weeds, like the dandelion and
chickweed, grow in the winter as well
as the summer. If the weather will
give them half chance. The chick
weed, usually considered harmless.
grows In such dense patches as to lit
orally choke out every other perennial.
Try pulling 1t up and throwing In a
heap. You will have mass OF humus
that will tighten the soil wonderfully.
Keep the weeds down in the straw
berry bed and the runners properly
directed and trimmed Even II there
are no weeds. the better the condition
Of the soil, the greater the returns.
The weed-cutting attachment to the
wheel-hoe is excellent for this purpose,
cutting out all the plants which tend
to I'LL up the space beyond their prop
er limits.
Keep a sharp lookout for new weeds.
They appear in all places and at all
times. Some of them may prove hard

lection to marrying divorced people?"
No unalterable objection /" the min
lister replied. "Of course. / am sorry
that people ever have to BE- divorced.
Still, | am broad-minded enough to
grant that there may be cases where
divorce may be a real blessing
Thank you. 1t was so in my case
and also in the case of the lady whom
I am to marry. There is another
question I desire to ask you Would
you object to performing the marriage
ceremony where dogs were brought in
to act as bridesmaids?
Does the lady whom you intend
to marry wish to have dogs as brides

Yes"
"And you desire to marry her. just

BIG IMPROVEMENT

Difficulty in Some Cases Exists

Drainage.

If it contains much water, draining
will be a great improvement; one or
two three-feet drains through damp
piece of land will be permanent i'm
provement, but the difficulty in some
cases is to get an outfall.
Where the outfall exists, wet land
should be drained before planting fruit
trees, and the drains should not be
less than three feet deep. More will.
in many cases, be better, as the drains
which let out water will introduce air.
and so double Improvement will be
