Although value of hay for cattle

I.ohhch are Hometimes realized by
leaving the hay exposed, to the
weather too long. Chopping hay

would be necessary if it were

The chief ndded cost when hay

to the choppeV Is that of machlm-ry
nnd powi-r. With a fairly largo
chopping outfit this practice may
be profitable, according to Profes

mains n slogan, but Investigations
by public health service nnd other j
research workern have dlwlosed j
that sunlight, diet nnd attention to
the general rulea of hygiene nre
equally important.
One of the most striking facts
recently brought out bus been the,
relationship of sunlight to 'the
soundness of the' teeth and gums.
Much evidence, along this line win
obtained In the British I slew, where
lurgegroups known to be generally
subject to bail teeth were shown to
have lived or worked under condi
tions which deprived them of nor
mal exposure to Ihe sun's rays.
Others living tinder b-ss restricted
conditions In this respect were nof
ho affected.
It may be. said that fresh vege
tables build strong teeth. ,Kor
growing, children especially, a well
balanced diet of fruit, vegetable
and milk Is essintUil to their de
velopment. Kor many fears no one thought
of visiting a dentist until the tooth
ache began. Within recent years,
lowever, much uttentlon hiiH been
paid to the car of the mouth In
rftiutlcn to the protection of gn
era! health and It is becoming more
and more generally recognized that
every person should have a care
ful examination made at leust oiu-e
a year by a competent dentist.
Physicians and dentists, collnln
orating In ntudles of oral hygiene,
have found that small pockoU of
pus may form at the roots of de
cayed or defective teeth and that
their present may lead to several
serious diseases in such cases, re
