Dentistry As Applied to Trees. State Zoologist Surface found a letter In the mail sent to the Divis ion of Z ology of tbe Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, asking how to prevent decay in a tree from j making further progress." The writ er said : "We have a cherry tree whose trunk has rotted considerably. What can bo done t sava the tree? Is it a good plan to cut out the dead part and fill np the hole with cement?-' v Professor Surface replied: "The proper treatment for the cavity of your cherry tree is to clean this out, removing the decayed wcod; then wash or spray the interior with an antiseptic, such as a two per cent solution of formalin, or a very dilute solution of mercury bichloride, which is corrosive sublimate; then paint it with ordinary paint of any kind, and Anally fill the cavity with any kind of cement, or use one part of Port laud cement with about four or five parts of sand. "This is practically nothing els than the principle of modern dentistry applied to the preservation of the tree. The dentist cleans ont the oav ity of a decay-lug tooth, and fills the tooth some sub-nance tlilit by preser valion will prevent the possibility of further decay. We are coining to see that the treatment of all liv ing things for ills and afllictions is based upon the same fundamental biological principle." , Real Estate Transfers Clia's Frisbie to David R.

Its weight per acre surpasses corn barley oats, wheat and rye. Few people are aware of the care used by railroads In keeping tab of tbe productiveness of land along their lines from the standpoint nf tbe amount of freight produced by va rinus crops. Heavier the crops per acre, the more freight for railroads. Nor are there many people who think of lumber aa crop, and one of the most Important crops at that, which contributes a large share of the freight business of railroads. . The quanity of freight produced hy a crop depends upon soil, region, and kind of crop. Railroads fignre it from that point of view. Their profit depends upon tonnage and class, and they want to know what crop pays they carry. Many averages in many localities are necessary to reach reliable re sults. Care if necessiry, too, in applying to one region the figures obtained in another. Indiana, Illi nois, and Kentucky are the center fa vast productive region, and aver sges there possess as much value as those of any part of the country. but, of course, they cannot lie ap plied everywhere. An acre is cred Ited with yield as follows ; Cabbage Onions Potatoes Lumber Hay Corn Barley Oats Tobacco Rye Wheat 21 000 lbs. per acre 19 950 ' " 4 880 ' ' " 3 000 " " " 2 710 " " 1 728 ' " I 21!) " " 808 ' " 877 " ' 848 " 792 , As the list show, the three heavi est freight produoing crops are oabb age, onions, and potatoes. Lumber i fourth. Up to the present tinia Umber bas been cut almost exclusive- 'y from wild land, without much re gard to the acres gone over. But the time la coming when the yield of wood per acre will be calculated as ctrefully aa the yield of corn, and as much thought will be given to growing it, tbongh not aa much work. How much wood grows on an acre In s yearr Some of the abused, burnt, washed ind neglected lands are producing only little. It has been estimated that the typical hardwood regions of Tennessee, where lire is kept out are growing about 3,000 pounds of wood yearly per acre. Good stands of young pines in other parts of the country are probably doing as well or better. But thia is uot tne limit for foresters say woodland can do much better under fona'ry methods Good timber jiust be selected, the poor cut out, Just as the farmer plants the best kinds of corn and rejects the pr. In Europe where they raise crops of trees they get, under favor ible conditions, an annual growth of 1,600 pounds to 6,600 pounds of wood j p-t:t BHD, UUUUirj WttU UIJ HI east is well. Tue freight carriers, however, sel dom transport the whole wood grow th. The waste Is left in the woods or at the mill. This Is much i r little, depending upon what is made of the wood before the transportation company gets it. It la apparent, however, thut after deducting for waste, the growth nf an acre of tim ber furnishes more freight than an acre of any oue of tbe agricultural 'Tops except cabbage, onions, and potatoes. The quanity of any one cf these three commodities that will go to the market ts limited by demand, but the demand for lumber is uot dinnn lulling. All that the forests and planted lots can supply will go to the market. Woodland, under care, yields year ly crops as regularly as wheat fields. The marketable timber only is out at regular lutervala, and new growth is always coming on. As a freight producer, a timber tract may bn de pended upon as surely aa potato field. Iu foot. It la snrer; for land in farm crops wears out unleaa con stantly fertilised, but timberiaud tertiliua Itself with its leaves, and become richer. K will yield undi minished cna forever. Trees grow on rough land where agriculture cannot profitably be car ried on, and the freight and other returns from auoh regions are largely clear gain since such land would otherwise te producing little or noth ing. j State Sunday School Work ers Meet in October Forty-Fifth Annual Convention to b Ileld at Harrisburg.

No President or party leader has before so frankly addressed all his fellow-oitizens-and a President always speaks to all-on a vital issue. President Taft tdmits tbe right of a man to separate from his party on a tariff issue. He accepts such an aot as a matter of conscience. But he condemn as a matter of Judgment a readiness to keep high luties in operation when lower were ffered. The ohoioe was not between duties in the new tariff and lower duties. The ohoioe was between lower duties in the new tariff and higher duties iu the old tariff. As President Taft frankly says, tbe al tianoe between far Western States grow ing wool and Eastern States us ing it made impossible a revision of the wool schedule, which called both for reduction and classification. Dem jcratio votes birred other changes. Seeing this, it was the part of jus tice and expediency, principle and IwtriotUui, to vote for the best tariff that could be secured and to lowi r dnties as fur (is thay could be lower ed and maintain tbe protection prin ciple, preserving the higher level of wages here. This was done. If all was not done much was accomplished. No revision ia near. Noue should be, But before tha next revision the Tariff Commission will gain facts, analyzed rates and make intelligent action possible. Tbe country has had its lust Una! on hasty investlga (ion.
