I4 iTTr K Auiericiin children seem to
O J^I o regard the dentist us an

VOIr up. They Itnow they must
have clothes mul medicine, nnd lessons
nnd occasional punishment, nnd precious
Saturday play-time snatched away
for dismal hours at the dentist.
They expect as much to have their
. teeth filled just as often as they do to
Mb have new hats and new shoes or
Christmas presents at midwinter. And
' an occasional sophisticated small person
will even boast of her gold fillings,
as an old-fashioned country baby
. might of her gohl curls.
Apparently children are trained to
think tho dentist n necessity, and
grown people are much the same., We
seem to iiave forgotten that people
have a right to sound teeth, that teeth
belonging to healthy people should be
white and strong and perfect, such
teeth as North American Indians and
Sonth Sea Islanders have.
Of coursu there is a reason in the
first place for teeth of over civilized
people losing strength and working
power, The gums, like muscles, need
friction to keep up a good circulation.
A muscle that isn't used gets finbby
and incapable, and teeth that are not
exercised, as it were, get lifeless and
either loosen or decay.
The reason teeth do not get enough
friction nowadays is because they were
uugiiiHjiy liuenucu 10 gnaw nones and
chew gristle; and now that these primitive
foods are regarded as inelegant
and that tfio teeth are used mainly l'or
polite cereals and tender meats, there
is practically no friction and hence hut
little circulation in the gums. And so
now comes all sorts of troubles of a
semi-paralylie condition.
Hut fortunately there is a remedy for
this condition and a very simple and
inexpensive one. It is nothing more or
less than the right use of a stiff toothhviisll

in a spring meadow, or
bringing such pressure on them at the
edges of the. tooth thoy are picked and
hurt; it doesn't moan doing any sort of
foolish thing and hoping to get good results.
What it does mean is to got a
moderately stiff hrush and to use it
with intelligent vigor, twice a day on
the upper part of the gums, both inside
"v and outside; get a good brush and one
with a kr.ob at liio end so that the
bristles can reach the utmost narts of I
the gums, ami a large brush; a very
narrow brush is much more apt to cut
tlio gums. Use the brush two or throe
minutes, at least long enough to start
a glow Jn the gums.
Sometimes, even if the brush is most
earel'u1i,\ us:h!, (|hv gums will bleed at
j ttrst, luit this only means that they are

accomplish this is to add to a mug of

Where, In addition to this method of
Keeping tho month sweet and clean, a
powder Is desired, it is a good idea to
prepare* the mixture one's self, making
sure lu tills way that the ingredients
are all fresh and pure.
The following is jin inexpensive hut
excellent tooth powder: prepared chalk,
six ounces; powdered orris root, one
ounce; powdered white eastlle soap,
one-half ounce; pulverized sugar, one
half ounce; boric acid, one-half ounce:
oil of wlntergroon, one-lialf fluid
drachm, (.'rind all together lo a fine
powder nr.d sift. Add n little olive oil
and sift again. This amount of powder
should last a family of four people
at ieast six months, and if put in
sealed jars will keep nicely.
A home made wash is also a wise
precaution in Hips?? ibivs <?r
preparations. An excellent wash con .

"When the poultry houso is divided
Into two or more apartments the partition
should be of boards instead of wire
or laths, as the warmth of the bodies
of the fowls will induce eold currents
of uir to flow from one end of the
house to ilie other. If anyone doubts
this let him enter a lonu poultry house

Turkey* For l'roftl.
Some time ago it was slated that in
the opinion of the writer of the item
and other experts, the failure of (lie
turkey crop in the tail of HKKi was
very largely due to the general practice
of iu-bl'eeding. It is therefore opportune
to warn those who raise turkeys
to make sure that the torn turkov i.?
brought from ji breeder at some distance
from you so that there will be
no trouble on this score.
By sonic little effort one could dispose
of their own toms to breeders
who were looking for such birds for
mating purposes, and with the proceeds
buy equally good birds who were
not related to their hens. There is
money in turkeys if the breed is kept
up to the standard and tliev ran lm
raised 011 a range of good size and
kept 011 (hat range so (hat (he eugs
can he secured for hatching. The indications
are (hat the fall and winter
demand for turkeys will be large.
ScriMcliitiR Shod For l'oultry.
Many poultry keepers have decided
that to make the hens lay well In fold
weather they must provide for them a
shed attached to (ho henhouse where
they can have during the day a place
to exrrcise by scratching in the earth
after they have eaten their food, mid at
the same time get the pure air of out 1
of doors, without being exposed to j

shod" attachment to their poultry
houses, as largo, or perhaps larger,
than the house in which tlicy stay
nights, and in this they feed them and
allow them to spend most of their time
when the weather allows. While we
are not yel satisfied that a shod has advantages
superior to a house that is enclosed
upon all sides, and therefore,
comfortably warm all day and every
day, but which can yet he well ventilated

sent it to our readers as u very well
planned attachment, which can ho

hennery, covering but a part of the
yard, and jot probably a pleasant

Ell'flct of Grooming.
The skin of the horse, like that of
other animals, is an active excretory
organ. Supplied with almost an indefinite
number of pores, through tlie.se, if
kept open, a continual discharge of
watery fluid, and such other waste
matter as is carried there by the blood,
occurs. It also contains myriads of
minute glands, secreting an oily fluid
that is essential for rendering the skin
sott and flexible, as well as furnishing
nourishment needed by tho hair and
keeping it soft and glossy.
It will not do, therefore, for these
pores to get clogged, for in 1 hat ease
the skin would soon bceome dry. rough,
hard and diseased; nor is there much
dang r of it except when the horse !ft
hard at work. Then the secretion of
watery fluid is heavier than when the
animal is idle, and if the sweat is allowed
to dry on the skin, dust will accumulate,
mixing with it, and. if not
cleaned off, till and clog the pores*. As
a result the si:In will not only lu'come
diseased, but the whole system more or !
^ ss deranged. The impurities. unable

Nitrogen,
Some years ago a popular illustrated
magazine published some highly iiuag- ;
inative articles describing how every- j
tiling would burn ill) when tho fnrmers '
through the cultivation of legumes, lintl
drawn all the nitrogen from the air.
1<\ G. S., in Hoard's Dairyman, says:
"It's going to be many years before
what is known now will diffuse through
the mays of ignorance that prevails,
and consequently it will lie a long time
before there will 1h> less nitrogen in
the air because it has been stored up in
the soil for man's benelit, and longer
still before we shall have replaced the
stores that nature had accumulated I
through long couturies." Tho fact is ;
that all tlie speculations on tins sub- |
ject leave out of view the fact that 110 i
mutter how much nitrogen we may ;
capture from the air we cannot keep it, !
for it is ever returning thither, and the
supply in the air can never grow lest;, j
10very chimney in the land is sending j
it buck to tiie air, every neglected ma- j
nuro pile is doing the same thing, and j
the old rule in nature that everything |
must be used over and over again will i
prevent any diminution in tlie supply. |
We may get nitrogen in various combi- j

gas and returns to its source for some I
one to combine ntul use over again. \
The combined forms that exist in na- |
turo in the shape of nitrate of soda j
may bo used up, and the nitrogen that j
we get as a by-product in tlie nianu- |
facture of pus from coal may become !
totally inadequate for the purpose of
making fertilizers, but so long as the !
legumes are intelligently cultivated >
and used in a proper rotation, there I
will always he nitrogen enough for j
great crops, and the supply in the air I
will be kept good by its Meeting nature, j
\Ye may locate it in crop?, but the con- j
sumption of the crops sends it back to !
the air, and the bacteria work over the j
offal of all sorts, releasing it as nitrate i
to be washed awav if not used bv I

TOBOGGANING IN THE ALPS. 1
Glide Upon Which Record of Almost
Mile a Minute Has Been Made.
St. M<>ritz is ono of tho highest vIIlag<e8
In the Iihigadine, having an altitude
of about 6,000 feet, and is a groat
centre of winter Boorts: It Is conse
quontly much frequented by English
and other nationalities who enjoy the
sports of skating, curling, tobogganing,
skiing and bandy, which can hers
be obtained under the best conditions.
Good tobogganing may be had In other
placoB, but at St. Moritz It is carried
to a line art, and only an expert can
expect to compete successfully on the
renowned "Cresta" toboggan run, wltn
its wonderful curves and banks. The
name Cres'ta is derived from a small
villaKO of that name near the finish i
of Che course.
The .course Is a little over threequarters
of a mi!e in length, with a
difference of elevation, from the start
to finish, of about COO feet; the gradient
varies at different points, being
most steep at the church leap.
As only cn'e toboggan can occupy
the track at a time, the races are all
decided by the time taken to complete
the course. The record time from the
start to the finish Is at present G1 G-10
seconds, this entailing a speed of sixty
miles' an1vour or more cn the fastest
parts. The curves of frozen snow are
built up with high banks accurately
shaped to allow the tobogganer to go
round them at the greatest speed, tho
highest bank being about twenty-live
feet in height. These different banks
have well known names, such as the
Battledore and Shuttlecock, Scylla and
Charybdis and Bulpett Corner. The
whole track is practically of ice, and
after nassinsr th? finish it. has for a
short distance a steep upward gradient,
the great momentum obtained
carrying the tobogganer uphill.
Tho toboggans used are of mo
"skeleton" pattern, with steel runners,
the tobogganer lying In a prone
position and -steering with hi-s feet,
by means of spikes attached >to the
toes of his boots. The principal raco
run on the Cresta is the Grand National,
which takes place at the end
of February or beginning of March,
and might he called the Derby of tobogganing,
competitors coming from j
Davos and other n'licos -to tAlco nart in
his contest.?Electrical Review.
