In the opinion Of Dr. r. r. Dykstra.
professor Of surgery In the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Sharp points and edges are caused by
the fact that the upper and lower
grinding teeth in the mouth of the
horse do not hit squarely. Because Of
the construction of the mouth, the In
side edges Of the lower molars and the
outside edges Of the upper molars do
not strike anything when the horse
chews, and consequently do not wear.
The lateral motion of the jaw when
chewing is not sufficient to allow uni
form wear on the edges Of the molars,
so sharp points and edges result.
ALI decayed teeth or abscessed teeth
should be removed as soon as discover
ed. When a tooth Is removed the cor
responding tooth on the opposite jaw
will grow far enough into the empty
space to hit the gum. If the teeth are
examined and filed every two years
the elongated molars and sharp edges
will cause no trouble.

MILK AS 4 FABRIC
Chemistry Can Convert Il Into Man
Useful Materials.


Although any one will concede that
man cannot live by bread alone, 1t has
been thought possible to get along
rather nicely If milk were added to the
diet. But 1t remained for two French
chemists, Francois Lebren and Raoul
Desgeorge, to conceive an idea where
by milk may also be made to yield q
fabric which may be converted into
clothing and ornaments.
The curds of the milk are subjected
to a chemical treatment by means of
which the mass is converted into a
plastic substance which may be rolled
into sheets resembling celluloid, from
which buttons and other articles such
as combs, umbrella handles, bric-a-
brac and even imitation leather may be
made, all of which are Of attractive ap-
pearance and Of excellent wearing
qualities.
The milk is first robbed OF itS fat
after which it is warmed with rennet
so as to form curds. 1t is then par
boiled and exposed to the air and then
is treated with acetone to give 1t the
required hardness, Elasticity and trans
parency. The product may be made %
soft that it can be used as a substitute
for silk In the manufacture OF fine
underwear, or it may be made solid
enough to serve as good imitation Of
ivory.-Popular Science Monthly.
