Did you ever wear a collar that
didn't fit? Well, a horse or mule is
worse off yet with a collar too large
or too small.
Calves may be raised on very
small amount of milk, provided they
are fed liberal ration of grain and a
leguminous hay.
Which did you bring home from the
county fair-prize money or expert

Protect your animals from the cold.
This will make them more comfort
able, and will save you feed.
Be sure the sheep have shelter
from cold rains. Shelter saves feed
and makes the wool clip heavier.
1t requires feed to carry sheep
through the winter, If the best re-
turns in wool and lambs are to be
made. Begin feeding the ewes about
lambing time and feed them until
pasture is good.
1t might be well to make arrange
ments to feed your Spws at least fifty
yards or more from their sleeping
quarters and force them to take ex-
ercise in walking back and forth be
tween feeding floor and hog house.
Breeding cattle especially need ex-
ira feed Calves cannot be grown out
without liberal feeding, and there is
no demand for stunted, underweight
breeding animals. Corn silage or hay
with cottonseed meal or velvet beans
will put them through in good shape.
Keep your horses feet soft, and
have him shod often. More feet are

A specific chemical cure for tuber-
culosis consisting of a double salt Of

Danish scientist, Moellgaard. The
remedy, which has been named "Sano-

action is so violent that a tuberculin
serum is necessary to counterfeit its
effects. The United States health
service is making tests.

nNE Of the earliest of Bean fami-

tinction of having been of Jersey or
igin. That is. the progenitor OF the
family was a native of the isle OF
Jersey in the English channel. He
settled in Boston, Mass, in 1870.
There he died, leaving a widow and
three sons, Lewis, Ebenezer and Jo-
seph. The widow Bean removed from
Boston to Maine, settling in York.
Ebenezer was killed by the Indians
and Joseph was captured and kept
captive for six years. Lewis became
the progenitor Of all of his family in
the New world. One of his descend
ants was Eli Bean, general in the
Civil war.
One branch of the Bean family in
this country was founded by John
Bean, a native of Scotland, who
settled in Exeter, N. H.. in 1860. His
descendants lived in Maine. Among
them is to be found the name Joshua,

Care of the Teeth
By DR.. w. ]. Seholes

In an article in Clinical Medicine, "
DR.. A. ]. Asgis, dentist, says that
the defense against tooth decay must
necessarily commence in prenatal life.
For the formation Of all the teeth,
except some of the molars, takes place
during this period and during the first
five years of life.
A sufficient supply Of calcium salts
must be furnished to the teeth, as to
the bones, during the period Of their
formation. Foods which produce prop
er tooth and bone formation should be
included in the diet Of the expectant
mother. Such foods as milk, butter,
cheese, spinach, radishes, celery,
string beans, raw and cooked vege-
tables are mentioned.
II sound teeth are to be possessed
later in life, proper dietary habits
must be followed during childhood as
well as during adult life. It is believed
by many authorities that the excessive
use of free sugar is the chief cause
of decay Of teeth. This not only be-
cause of the direct effect of the sugar
on the enamel of the teeth, but be-
cause too much sugar is likely to
cause digestive disturbances which in
terfere with nutrition.
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1925-12-17


A list of teeth-cleansing foods II
given. The list includes fresh fruits
such as oranges and apples, nuts, raw
vegetables, lettuce, watercress, celery
radishes, onions. crusts of bread, crisI
toast, meat and bacon. 1t is recon-,
mended that all meals be finished with
cleansing food.
But other factors than diet are
necessary to insure sound teeth and
healthy mouth. The general health
must be maintained by sufficient exer-
else, fresh air, sunshine and general
bodily cleanliness. Very important
are periodic examinations and home
prophylaxis.
DR.. Asgis believes that the mouth
and teeth should be examined at least
six times a year. This would make
possible the discovery and repair OF
small cavities, and the stopping Of
decay. There would also be afforded
an opportunity for the dentist to re-
move tartar, food debris and bac-
terial colonies. In all cases where
there is Systematic disease there
should be cooperation with the ply
stefan.
Unless the proper daily care is Civ
en- to the teeth, visiting the dentist
will not prevent decay and pyorrhea
The accommodations for the daily care
of the mouth and teeth are essentially
as follows:
| Twice a day the tongue should be
scraped. DR.. Asgis regards this as ar
+, essential to the cleanliness of the
mouth, as coated tongue may harboi
harmful germs. The gums should be
massaged twice day with cottor
rolls. The tooth brush should not be
used on gums that bleed easily or arr
tender.
| Care should be exercised to avoid
injuring sensitive gums while using
the tooth brush on the teeth. All ma.
terials that are used in the care of the
mouth should be sterile. He does moi
regard the use of the tooth brush
alone as sufficient. One week the
teeth should be polished with ar
orange wood point dipped in denta
powder.
