Results of Bad Teeth.

The coarse food of the horse requires
perfect mastication and thorough mix
ing with saliva in order to insure per-
feet stomach digestion. In nearly all
cases where horse teeth are in poor
condition, either from natural or &C.
CURED causes, mastication of food is
not complete and in many cases the
animals, because of pain, do not eat
enough to keep them in good health,
even though the food were properly
masticated, digested and absorbed.
When the poorly masticated food
reaches the stomach an overworking Of
that organ results The stomach can
not do its regular work and at the
same time complete that part of diges-
ton that should have been done in the
mouth, consequently the food passes
from the stomach into the intestine in
a condition entirely unfit for digestion.
The improperly digested food may
have a direct effect upon the animal
by producing collie of the small intes-
tine, or it may pass on into the large
intestine and cause collie of the large
intestines, or it may cause inflammation
of the bowels, or strangulation of the
bowels, commonly known as "telescop-
ing" or "knotting" These cases are
quite often fatal.

Other Irregularities and Diseases.
There are many diseases and irregu-
larities of the teeth that are not so
common, such as carries (decaying of
the teeth), dental cysts (hollows in the
teeth), odontomata (tumors), brachy-
guathism "a congenital deformity in
which the superior incisors overlap
the inferior ones), prognathism (com-
monty called undershot, Interior i'll
cisors overlap superior ones), super
numerary teeth, fracture of teeth,
splitting of mOlars, and many other
too numerous to mention here, and all
of which should have attention
Enamel points, projections of the first
superior and sixth inferior molars and
acquired elongations of. the molars,
however, are the most common troubles
that have to be treated
These various abnormal conditions
of the teeth each require their special
kind of treatment and should in all
cases have the attention of a compe-
tent veterinarian

rxuvvvk country did not recognize
E&3%3 the value of scientific
farming. At that time
there seemed to be no necessity for
scientific farming, as the land was
cheap and the soil was new and pro-
duced quite abundantly with little or
no care. A similar situation existed
with live stock, especially with horses
The initial cost was very low. The
farmer took little care of his horses
and when they became unfit for work,
or died, he bought more. But as time
ment on the farmer found that since
the price of land raised, he must take
better care of the soil in order that it
would yield more or farming would
not be paying occupation. He like
wise realized that better care of his
live stock rendered them more fit for
work and Melted him greater returns.
Of late years it is being generally
recognized among the farmers that the
care of the horses teeth is of no little
Importance. They realize this be-
cause many of the horses ailments are
due either directly or indirectly to
some defect of the teeth.
Dentistry is the art of repairing the
teeth or improving their utility. Ami
NAL dentistry includes the treatment
OF the secondary abnormal processes
and LESSONS in the mouth and nasal
cavities, caused by the teeth. 1t is a
preventative rather than curative
effort. Although disorders of the
digestion or impairment of the general
health can not be included in the do
main of dentistry it must be conceded
that In many cases they are directly
traceable to the teeth. The principle
object of dentistry is to promote the
general health by improving the masti-
cation of food, by relieving the pain
and by preserving the appearance of
the horse.
1t might be well to say few words
concerning other farm animals. Ex-
cept for breeding purposes, cattle,
sheep and hogs seldom live beyond
their maturity and even then they are
not submitted to the same artificial in
fluences as the horse. In cats and dogs
the anatomical structure of the teeth
prevents projecting defects and only
occasional conditions demanding at
tention. Therefore our attention nat
urally centers upon the horse, the COM
mercial value of which depends as
much upon its utility as upon its gen
eral appearance.

 ARE PRAYERLESS Business and Society Cause Passing Away of Old
 Customs. THE NEED IS GREAT Bishop Wilson Declares Church Can Only Win Over World Through
 Prayer-Many Foreign
 Workers Present.
THE NEED IS GREAT

Oklahoma City, May S.-In view Of the many great problems before the church, and realizing their depend ence for wisdom and strength upon God, the third days session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was opened with a season of prayer, in accord ance with resolution adopted the previous day.
 Bishop Hendrix presided and the Rev. J. c. Orr, a noted singer of the Holston conference of Tennessee, led the singing. After Bishop Hendrix read the 46th Psalms, Bishop Wilson made q brief talk on Prayer"
 There is urgent need that we should lay emphasis on prayer in this our time," he said. Our homes are mostly prayerless. The customs of our fathers, who prayed night and morning, has passed away, through the urgent demands of business and the clamor after society. The victory of the church over the world can only be assured through prayer. None of us is sufficient; it requires a greater wisdom that we have"
 When Bishop Warren A. Chandler, who presided over the days session, called the roll of conferences, ad- ditional memorials on the change of the name of the church came up from various conference. Among the names suggested were Methodist Episco- pal Church in America" American Methodist Church" and Episcopal Methodist Church."
 The missionary department is en- phasized on the floor of the confer ence by the presence of Bishop w. R. Lambuth, who has just returned from Africa, where he recently established three missionaries and their wives in the Congo field, 1,600 miles inland.
 Missionaries present include w. Cline, Soo Chow, China; S. A. Stew art, Hiro Shima, Japan; J. l.. Gerdine, Seoul, Korea; J. M. Terrell, South Brazil; R. c. Elliott, J. A. Phillips and D. w. Carter of Mexico and E. E. Clements of Cuba.

COLORADO SOLONS MAY PROBE STRIKE Progressive Member Gets Consideration for

 This Day.
DISARMAMENT TODAY

Denver, Col, May S.-A resolution introduced in the house by Represen- tative Biles, Progressive, provides for committee of five, three members of the house and two of the senate, to investigate the recent battles in the coal fields in which fifty or more per sons were killed. One provision em- powers the committee to ascertain the names of the leaders, high and low, in the coal strike," and to sup poena and compel attendance of wit nesses. The resolution was put over for consideration until tomorrow. The fact, however, that it was accepted by the house is considered as a forward step for the Progressives.
 Many members of the legislature to- night declared that the adoption of the resolution and the appointment of such an Investigating committee would pave the way to bring John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to Colorado and forcing him to testify in defense of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company.

Republican Leader Tells Newspaper Men He Will Take SaltiIlO Easily With 13,OOG of His

Torreon, Mexico, May S.-Seated at his desk in the headquarters of his army here today, General Villa re- ceived the newspaper men. He an nounced that he would leave within a few days for Saltillo, saying that there are 15,0OO federals there, but that he expects an easy victory never theless.
 ''The federals will exacuate after a brief engagement" he said.
 "There are $500 federals at San Luis Potosi,' said General Villa, land I have dispatched General Gonzales with 6,000 men to attack the garri- son.
 "I want every American who fled from the constitutionalist territory in Mexico to return," the general told a newspaper man. Say through your paper, please" he continued, "that will afford the fullest protection to themselves and their property. Should there be war with the United States by the constitutioalists, and there does not seem the slightest possibil- ity of such an occurrence, I will have them escorted to the border in safety. I want the Americans to open the mines and the smelters. It will show that we intend building instead of destroying"
 General Villa says he now has 20,- 900 men under his command, and 13,000 will be detailed to Saltillo where he will personally direct the attack.

SHOULD AbR0GATE THE H.-P. TREATY Senator Golf Says U. S. Will Never Have Peace While
 It Exists. O'GORMAN ON TOLLS New Yorker Declares That to RepeaI Free Tolls Exemption Clause
 Would Be to Violate Plat
 form Pledges.
0'GORMAN ON TOLLS

Washington, May S.-Senator Nathan Golf of West Virginia, who hitherto has not been outspoken on the repeal question, today delivered lengthy speech in opposition to the adminis- tration policy. He brought into the discussion some new ideas and as serted that if the Hay-Pauncefoote treaty has been violated, as the presi- dent and other proponents of repeal claim, that then the y-Pauncefoote treaty has in fact been abrogated and its provisions are no longer binding.
 The West Virginia senator laid par ticular stress upon the necessity of abrogating this treaty, and declared the United States would never have diplomatic peace as long as this con- vention between the two countries eX- isted.
 Senator Golf quoted from the pub lie statement of Senators Walsh and Vardaman, Representative Underwood, former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt in favor of the exemption of coast wise ships as indicative of the best thought of the country, and the opin- ion of representative men of both great parties.
 O'GOrman Against Repeal.
 Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the interoceanic canals committee, and leader of the forces opposed to the re- peal of the toll exemption clause of ] the Panama canal act, gave the sen ate today the legal, economic and po- ltical reasons for his opposition.
 He discovered no ground for inter- national law which would forbid eX- emption of American coastwse ships from toll payment, saw behind the repeal movement the hand of the rail- roads and declared that a failure to impose a tax could not be called subsidy.
 The senator warned his Democratic colleagues that to repeal the eXemp- ton was to violate the pledges of the Baltimore platform and to reverse the verdict of the people when they se- lected President Wilson last November on that platform.
