Protecting Sensitive Teeth. People who are the victims oi senslJ live teeth that crumble and acquire cavities readily may do much toward checking this dental decay by the use of a simple remedy. A bottle of milk .of magnesia should be kept on the ! washstand, and each night, after ! brushing the teeth just before retiring, some of it should be held in the mouth for a minute, that it may reach each side of every tooth. Ht this process ' aeoatingof the magnesia is formed over 1 ^be^msitive enamel, which is thus protecWl from the action of the acids that form in the mouth dining sleep. The magnesia will^main on the teeth for . three or four hmirs. Washing the mouth with a solution of bicarbonate oi soda after eaiing sour fruits or salads is also recommended by dentists, as the s la like the magnesia, counteracts the injurious < fleets of the acid upon th ' enamel.

THE FARM AND HOME. MATTERS O FINTEREST TO FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE How to Exterminate the Round-Head’ eil Tree Borer Value of Peanuts as Hojr Food —Easy Method of Potato Culture-General Farm Work. The round headed borer (Saperda candida) is one of the troublesome inseets, and it has killed many a tree. The eggs are deposited in May or June, when the weather begins to get warm, near the base of the trunk of the apple tree. The larva cats its way through the outer bark to the inner and takes about three years to develop. It works in the sapwood, where it forms Hat, shallow cmities. tilled with sawdust like castings. These are often seen on the bark and indicate where the borer is at work. As it reaches maturity it cuts a passage upward into the solid wood, and then It curves toward the bark. In this channel it enters tin* pupa stage about spring. When fully developed it is an inch long and has a round head that distinguishes it from the Hat headed borer, w hich also affects the apple tree. Remedy Examine the trees in autumn. aiid w here the sawdust like castings indicate the presence of the borer a stiff wire may be pushed in and the larvae killed, or sometimes the larvae can be cut out w ith a knife. About the Ist of June apply the following mixture to the trunk of the tree: One pound of hard soap, or one quart of soft soap in two gallons of water, heat to boiling and add one pint of crude carbolic acid; make a second application in three weeks. This mixture can be put on tin* trees with an old scrubbing broom or brush. Rub it well into the bark. Advocate and News Peanutn an llojj Food. In some investigations a’ the Ala bama Experiment Station Poland China hogs were hurdled in a field of peanuts and were given shelled corn In addition. Peanuts yielded sixty three bushels per acre. A part of the foliage was eaten as well as the nuts. Valuing the corn at 4*) cents per bushel and the pork at 3 cents per pound, the profit from the peanuts was at the rate of sis per acre. The soil was a |»oor sandy upland which would not have produced more than si“ or sl2 worth of cotton per acre. The expense of cultivating the pt-anuts wa* )•-- than cultivating cotton. In another tost unhulhal pea nuts and corn meal were comjuired It w as eonclmb d that when peanuts were fed alone \oui ■/ pigs were able to make a growth of nine |H-umls per bushel of peanuts, equivalent to a profit of 27 cents per bushel.

The seed from these row s is selected for next year's planting, and it is claimed that the yield has been increased by . t least ten bushels per acre.

Os course savages, who do little in farming, have few vegetables except corn, beans and pumpkins, and live mainly on animals thej' capture l»y hunting and fishing. We believe in a due supply of animal food in winter when the air is cold and bracing; but as summer heats .-ome on the animal food should be replaced by vegetables taking rare, so far as possible, to eat tuat wb.ch is most palatable and whose I nutrition most nearly replaces the meat ration. Peas and beans, divested of them skins, which are indigestible, and io.ou^l. \ 'i">ked. have all the nutrition of whole w4.eat. So also have oats cooked Without th., hull and whole wheat. M ith some one of these every da.v gind plenty of fruits and ve-’eta bles, a man may largely dispense with meats during the summer, and be healthier and happier without th v m. Wood Astles for Apple Trees. In some tests at the New York Experiment Station it was found that the foliage was greatly improved in sections of orchards treated with wood ashes and the trees were freer from scab. The color of the fruit was also improved in some seasons and with some varieties, but during the seasons which favored the perfect development

; of the fruit, the color was not helped ' Apparently the use O s ashes has a tendency to hasten the perfect development of the fruit. Some gpagouj, lhjs ripening process was carried so far where the ashes Were used tha( . apples did not keep as Well as o , untreated. _ ' ' Some Bee Point*. , Ture white honey CO mb, with very little propolis on the wood of the sections, denotes that they were taken out as soon as tilled and before being properly ripened. S Qme may uot Hk " the looks of travel-stained honey comb, but the more it is thus stained the better It will prove to be. Bees may be kept on a waste piece of ground which would be of no use otherwise. and. as they feed themselves and pay for being kept, it would seem | that there should be more of them in the country. One does not have to own the broad acres from which the Iwes do their gleaning, nor build for them costly bouses. The poorer a man is the less excuse he has for not having plenty of honey for himself and his family to eat. Farmer's Voice. Killing the WeeJn. One halt ot the labor of summer may be avoided by killing the early weeds. It the giound has been put in fine condition much of the work of weed destruction may be done with the hand wheel hoe, which works to the smallest plants without injury, if weeds get a start they will great*? retard the cultivated plants and kWp them from making fair growth^A'fore summer, at which season thenyls always liability ।of drought. Weeds can be eradicated from a farm entirely by systematically working against them and preventing them from seeding and multiplying, as the large majority of weeds are annu- : als. Adulterated Food. Food adulteration can only be prevented by laws that are plain and yet ' well expressed, the penalty recommended being confiscation of the adulterated article. No man has the right to sell another an article under mlsrepresvutatiou. In France it was discovered that wheat flour was l>eing adulter ap'd w ith corn flour. A eus turner who asked for "flour” received the mixed article and brought suit. It was decided that as he did not mention the kind of flour desired fie had no I'nuse for action. It is suggested that In purchasing an article it should l»? particularly speidfit'd by name. s uccc«» Require* i nrrje.

A Wind-Built Dyke of Sand. An Interesting illustration of natural engineering is the well-known heavy dyke on the Holland coast, which was built by the winds themselves. The sand formed l>etween the jetties becoming dry in sunny weather, and the surface blown ashore on the wind blowing in that direction, it. was desired to build a strong dyke to connect with the sand dunes, and this was ac- > comidished by setting in the sand, in rows about one foot apart, tufts of ; dime sea grass near by. The tufts 1 thus placed, consisting simply of litj tie handfuls ol grass, were put, each one, into a cavity dug out with the hands, the tufts being set into this and the sand pressed around. The xvhole । surface of the dry, sandy bea<-h above high tide was covered with this planI tation, and just back of it, at the highest point of the existing sandy area. ' i one or Iwo rows of reeds were set in i ! the sand, their tops cut. off and the । I stalks left standing about four feet ■ | above the sand the latter, drifting i along over tin* surface, catching and i in one day almost burying the tufts of • grass and standing up one foot along the row of reed*; then another planta tion being made, and another, a massive dyke was thus built up to the height of tin' adjoining dyke. In high storm titles the waves eat into the toe of the sloiie and pull down the sand, but In the same process of building the dyke Is again restored to its former size. Invention.
