Anesthetic for the Teeth.

There is no local anesthetic that
will penetrate dentine, which forms
the principal part of a tooth. That
is why dentists hurt teeth so much
when drilling holes in them for fill
ings or when grinding them down for
gold crowns. Anyone who will in
vent something that can be put on a
tooth to render it insensitive for ten
minutes, without injuring it, has a
fortune awaiting him.
Cocaine and novocaine. which arc
used as local anesthetics in other
parts of the body, have no effect upon
the teeth, as they cannot penetrate
the hard tissue of which these are
composed.

SAN JOSE SCALE
NOW IN ORCHARDS
State Law Requires Persons
Having Trees Infested
to Spray
INSPECTOR GIvES1A REMEDY
Will Aid Orchard Men Greatly in
Keeping this Scourge
Under Control

The San Jose scale is present i'm
many orchards in the southern part
of Michigan and, unless active meas
ures are taken for its control. il will
not only Kill the trees now infested
but will spread to others and make il
difficult for those who are spraying
their orchards TO save their trees.
The State law requires all persons
having trees and shrubs infested with
this insect to effectually spray or des-
troy them. in order that the spread of
the insect may be checked. The law
also makes il the duty Of this office to
specify the treatment which will be
acceptable.
The standard remedy is lime-sul-
phur solution. and il may be- used at
the rate of one part 10 eight parts of
water. If il contains 81 per cent of
sulphur in solution The amount Of
water should be reduced proportion
ately for weaker solutions.
The sulphide of sodium. known as
Soluble Sulphur Compound, viii also
DC accepted if used at the rate - TO
20 pounds for 80 gallons of solution.
Scalecide, one Of the miscible oils.
may be used at the rate of one part TO
fifteen parts Of water.
These remedies may be used while
the trees are dormant, and are most
cffectual when applied just as the leaf
buds begin TO open, but before the
blossoms show pink color.
The benefits from these remedies
will depend almost entirely upon the
thoroughness with which they are ap-
piled, and, to get the best results the
trees should be sprayed from four
sides. In case proper care was not
taken and the young scales appear on
the trees the first week i'm July, the
trees should be sprayed between July
10 and 10. using one gallon of lime
sulphur solution in % gallons of
water. This should not be used upon
peach OF Japan plum trees. Care
should also be taken in using Soluble
sulphur Compound" upon the foliage,
particularly with paris green or ar
senate of lead
With concerted action there will be
no difficulty in controlling these in
