PREVENT DISEASE BY CARE OF TEETH O YOU want to protect your chil dren against sickness and death} Of course you do, Every parent does, Then have thelr teeth cared for from early childhood. In a recent address before a sclen- tific body, Dr. Charles Mayo of Roches- ter, Minn, sald that Infections of the mouth, nose and throat were re sponsible for 80 per cent of all dis eases and 90 per cent of all deaths among children, Better care of the mouth and throat will prevent four out of every five ilinesses and nine out of every ten déaths among children. That's worth while, isn't it? The most Important factor In keep ing the mouth free from Infection is regular visits to the dentist, Our grandfathers never went to the dentist until thelr teeth began to ache By that time it was too late to do anything except to pull the tooth. Our fathers and mothers went to the dentist when their teeth began to decay. Now the dentist says, “Bring the child to see me early enough and often enough, and 1 can prevent any Infection and decay of the teeth” It's better to keep the teeth whole than to let them decay and then pay for having them filled. The old idea was that the baby teeth would decay anyhow. They don't, If a child's teeth are properly cared for and If the child is early taught to keep them clean, there will be no decay, If the baby teeth are kept straight and sound, the permanent teeth will come In evenly and regu larly. There Is no reason why every child shouldn't reach maturity with a sound, straight, perfect set of teeth, This would be a tremendous advan. tage in after life. Perfect teeth pre vent mouth Infections and root ab- scesses, which cause “rheumatism,” neuralgias, sciatica and many other painful conditions. They also make it possible for you to thoroughly and so avold many of the common troubles of digestion, If your teeth are not in good cond} tion, have them attended to at once. If your child's teeth are defective have them put in good shape and kept that way. There Is no present you could give him that would be worth a8 much to him as sound, perfect teeth. Expensive? Not at all, It costs less to keep the teeth sound than it does to have them repaired, The child who grows up avith a per fect set of teeth probably won't have to spend more than a few dollars a year for dental bills for the rest of his life, Visit the dentist every six months and save money and greatly increase your health and happiness. BREAD BREAD is the staff of life, When Christ taught his disciples the Lord's Prayer, he taught them to say “Give us this day our dally bread.” Not meat nor milk, vegetables nor fruits, ples nor cakes, desserts nor sweets, but bread Bread In some form Is the principal article of diet of the human race, Up to fifty years ago most of man's knowledge regarding bread and its im- portahce was based on experience alone. The housewife added yeast to her dough to make it rise. She didn't know why it rose or how the yeast worked, Pasteur in 1850 found out all aboot yeast and fermentation, Osborne in recent years has done equally Impor- tant work on the chemistry of wheat proteins, Millers and bakers today try to get for bread-making the flour that has the highest percentage of protein and the smallest amount of mineral matter, or ash, In It Our wheat crop last year was 800. 000,000 bushels, only 60.0000,000 bush- els of which, or about one-thirteenth, was suitable for the production of the highest grade flour, The consumption of bread In this country requires at least 100,000,000 bushels of wheat a year, The bread on which our forefathers were ralsed was not as fine or as white as what we have today. The wheat was ground in the handmill or in the small water-power mill with rough stones instead of by the steam roller process of today. The flour was not ag finely screened or as carefully bleached. We eat more beautiful bread than our grandparents did, but it is not as nutritious or as wholesome as the nutbrown loaf our mothers used to make, Whole wheat flour and graham flour, which contain more of the mineral and nutritive substances of the wheat, make better bread than the highly re- fined white flour, so commonly used. Give your children brown bread or whole wheat bread and they will have better bones and better teeth, Eat it yourself and you'll have bet. ter digestion and better elimination, Owls Much Help to All Farmers Birds Are Useful in Destroy- ing Moths, Caterpillars and Other Insects. Is It not strange that we do not sea more owls, since they are such useful birds on the farm? I shall never forget the first time I saw an owl; it was exactly like a bundle of Hoft, grayish- white feathers, says a writer in the Montreal Family Herald and Star. As it flew from the gable of the farmhouse to a neighboring elm tree I could see nothing but feathers, no beak or claws or head. It alighted on the elm branth and kept perfectly still, so still that presently a little field mouse passed that way and never knew the owl was there, watching, till it found {itself whirled aloft. The owl swooped down so quickly and picked up the mouse 80 swiftly that probably the poor little mite hardly knew anything at all about what was happening. Habits of Owls. It is always difficult to find out any- thing about the habits of owls; they come out only at dusk, when It Is Im- possible to watch them very closely, and thelr eggs are generally lald In places that are not easy to reach. It happens sometimes that they come for food near our houses, and then we may catch sight of them and thelr action, They are very fond of sparrows, and when the young ones are getting ready to leave the nest the owls will often come and steal them. This founds hard for the parent birds, but It Is a good thing for the farmer, for the spar- rows are grain-eating birds, and often do a great amount of harm, Owls help the farmer, too, In getting rid of countless numbers of mice, for they are as fond of mice as of birds, Therefore, If an owl is noticed haunt- ing a house, especially in the country, you may be quite sure he is after either sparrows or mice. Fond of Rats and Mice. Ing young pigeons, but it is more usunl- ly rats that get into the pigeon cote. If the owls are seen near the cote it is most probable that they have seen the rat go in and are waiting for it to come out. Any owl would much prefer a fine rat for his supper to a young pigeon, and as long as there are rats the owls will hunt them and will gen- erally leave the pigeons alone, Young owls are very fond of moths and in this way the whole owl family is a great help to the farmer and gar. dener. We do our best caterpillars that destroy our flowers and vegetables, but we eannot catch the moths that Iny the eggs that turn into these caterpillars. You ean un derstand how useful the owls are In moth will lay about a score of eggs at inch long with very hig appetites, sides the mothe, owls will eat any other large Insect they see on especially beetles, and the rarest the Little owl, a pretty long, that comes out in the daytinf® species To Destroy Dock A sure way to dock. If not too thick, Is to take a sharp tiling spade, and when ground fs soft, go ever the meadow, thrust easily pulled up roots and all it may be necessary to keep up a warfare for several years, but the suc cess will be worth all it costs, To Prevent Milk Fever To prevent milk fever the calf should be allowed to nurse for a few days. If that is not done then the udder should not be milked out clean at first, but enough milk should be re moved now and then to prevent gar. get. Milk fever will also be less likely to occur if the secretion of milk is dried off for at least six weeks before calving, exercise Is enforced dally, the rich feed greatly lessened, and the bowels kept active. Curculio Injures Peach The curcullo, a beetledike Insect, punctures the skin of the peach early in its development, and the result is to be seen in malformed fruits and gum- my exudations. Spraying with three pounds of arsenate of lead to 100 gal. longs of water when the shucks are falling is the standard recommenda- tion. Avoid Too Early Pasturing Much injury may be done the per manent pasture by too early grazing. It is always a safe plan to let the grass get a good start and the soll be. come firm before turning the stock on the pasture. Early spring Injury will have its effect on the pasture through. out the season. Test All Seed Corn Good seed corn Is just as essential as any other farm seed, and by the best selection, careful testing and good breeding a better grade of ‘corn ean soon be produced, which not only means an increase In yield, but more profit in money to the farmer. Corn Best for Silo When It Is Glazed Right Preservation Depends on Packing and Moisture. The best time to harvest corn for the silo is when It has begun to ginze and, If a dent variety, when the dent is well developed, accerding to the New Jersey State College of Agricul ture, If ensiled while too green an ex- cessive amount of acid is formed. The proper preservation of silage depends on firm packing and plenty of mols ture, Bilage made from frosted or too greatly matured corn’ usually spolls unless plenty of water is added and it is well packed. Alr pockets mean molded material, which Is detrimental to the health of any animal. Even distribution of the slinge Is important In filling. This is most eas- ily asecomplished by the use of the jointed pipe distributor, The silage should be especially well packed along the walls and if a large cutter is used, at least two men should be kept constantly tramping over the surface, The silage exposed at the top of the silo will spoil. The practice of some farmers ig to sow oats on top of the silage so thelr roots will form a nearly air-tight surface and prevent deep spoiling. The use of a silo Is no longer con- sidered experimental. It {8 a neces sary part of the equipment of a profit- able dairy farm, especially where corn is grown. A few years ago cow-test ing association surveys In Pennsyl- vanla and New York showed that the dairy herds fed on silage throughout the winter averaged 20 per cent more in production than herds which re ceived no silage. Care of Brood Sows and Pigs During Hot Weather After the pigs are born the sow should not have anything but water for the first 24 to 368 hours. For the first feed a handful of bran In a lit tle lukewarm water is good. A mix- ture of bran 10 pounds, shorts 25 pounds, ground grain 55 pounds, and tankage 10 pounds, makes a suitable ration for a sow in milk. In feeding a brood sow in milk it should be kept in mind that her requirements are the same as for a «airy cow In milk At first only a light feed should be given, as a heavy feed will unduly stimulate the milk flow, making It gs can use at first, gally so that the sow will be getting a full feed at about the end of two weeks after farrowing. The appetite of the sow suckling a good healthy litter {8 a pretty safe guide to follow She will usually lose weight with the best of feeding. Treatment for Posts Fence posts are much more effec tively treated with cresote {f they are allowed to season thoroughly before the creosote is applied. Green tim- hers can be treated by the steaming soting: but with the ordinary hot- bath treatment, It Is difficult to get the creosote to penetrate to the re quired distance when the wood cells are full of sap. Hence the posts should be held until seasoned before treating. Milk Raises Land Value According to a Carroll county bank- er, land in the dairy district around Elizabeth, II, has increased £25 an farmers selling milk cooperatively. Dairymen have been selling their milk and cream through their own organi zation, the Elizabeth Co-operative creamery, for ten years, and the books of the concern show that the business has increased steadily each year dur ing the entire period. Time to Build Silo There is always a timely warning that ean be given with regard to the building of silos, and that Is to bulld go that the silo will be ready for the corn crop In the fall when the corn is ready. It Is true that corn can be put in the silo In almost any condi tion from the milk stage up to after it has been cut and shocked. The best silage, however, ig from corn cut when the ears are nicely dented and put in the silo the second day after cut, Sell the cockerels as fat brollers. » » See that your binder is In condition for operation. * * » No farmer ever made anything ran ning a poorhouse for cows, - La A stiff collar that doesn't fit is even more uncomfortable on a horse than on a man, . . 0» The basis of a better country life is a greater earning capacity of the average farmer, = & » More legumes, more feed, more live stock, more fertility, more profit, more country satisfaction and happiness, . oo» In composition sudan grass is very similar to timothy, It does not have the protein content that the legume hays have, and for that reason cannot be used to balance rations as can those have, 0) REID MuRpq CHIC AGE Ty yy oY 70 rears Grocers Say: “We have sold more Mon- arch Coflee in the past 11 years than all other brands hi i" C.
