SHOW GRATITUDE FOR RELIEF
Elephants Cured Of Toothache Give
Every Demonstration Of Thank
fuIness to the Dentist.

It is not easy to tell when an ele-
plant has got the toothache, but it Is
best to keep out Of his way when you
do know it. A London surgeon, who
had been for many years in India, says
he would sooner risk railway acci-
dent than meet an elephant with tooth
ache.
1t appears that toothache affects an
elephant in a more severe manner than
it does any other animal Elephants
have very sensitive nerves, and a
touch Of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain
down an elephant and draw out the
offending tooth, the brute is certain
to be affectionate to you afterward
Here is an instance.
An elephant in Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache, but the keep
ers managed to secure 1t while den
fist drew a decayed tooth-the cause
of the trouble. \ After a time the ele
plant seemed toOlnderstand that the
dentist was trying to do something fol
his pain, and he gave every evidence
of approaching the attention. When
the operation was over he frisked
round the dentist like young lamb.

Absolutely" he answered. Five

have the power why not use it? We
do not live in a dream age!"
From a sudden, unwilling exertion
of his strength the knife which had
been the recipient Of his emotions
snapped In two. Rather carefully the
premier laid the pieces on the table
before he rose and turned to Wester
ling, his decision made.

TREATMENT TO AVOID SMUT
Severe Damage to Crop in Arkansas
Was Needless Because Disease
Is Easily Prevented.

Many oats in the state last year
were severely damaged by smut. The
loss due to this disease was needless,
because 1t is easily prevented. Treat
ing the seed with formaldehyde be-
fore planting is practical and effec-
tive.
1. Mix one pound Zone pint Of for
maldehyde with 40 gallons Of water
in large-sized barrel.
2. Put a bushel or more of oats In
a two-bushel bag "a cheap gunny sack
of very coarse, open materially.
8. Dip bag and oats into the solu-'
ton and shake up and down until all
oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and
drain.
4. Allow the oats to remain in the
bag for about two hours, or empty In
heap and leave for about two hours.
5. Spread them out to dry. When
nearly dry, drying may be fastened
by sprinkling them with thoroughly
slaked lime.
6. Sow about ten per cent more per
acre to allow for the swelling.
Z. The machinery and receptacles
to be used in handling the oats after
they are treated should first be thor
oughly cieansed with the solution.
s. Mix the solution just before US
ing. Apply the treatment just before
seeding.
) For convenience a pulley may be
arranged directly over the open end
of the barrel and through 1t a rope
can be used for dipping. shaking ana
draining the bags of oats.
Another method sometimes used In
treating seed with formaldehyde con-
sists of spreading the seed out IN .
three-inch layer on a smooth, cleai
floor, sprinkling them with the sol
ton, and then shoveling back W
forth the solution. The treated seed
are then shoveled into a pile and Gov
cred with sacks or canvas to keep
! the gas inclosed. After six or eight
/ hours the covers are removed and the
oats spread out to dry.

1t Is rather hard to be asked to buy
white duck trousers for mixers while
selling milk at something less than
four cents a quart to dealers who
double their money on 1t.
There is close connection between
clean milk and a clean conscience.
No man can afford to feed high

good many dairymen keep right on

Why Flowers Flash.

The strange phenomenon exhibited
by some red flowers of seeming to
fash in the twilight, but only when
the flower comes sideways into the
range of vision, is explained by Prof.
F. A. w. Thomas OF lena. He says
twilight makes red seem brighter and
green duller than in full daylight. As
the image of the red flower moves
from the peripheral part of the retina,
where the rods are red-blind, to the
fovea. the red is perceived more vivid
" than before, and this image coin,
cides with the Purkinje after-image OF
