Age Of Sheet.

The age Ct sheep may be known by examining
the front teeth They are in number, aud appear
during The first year all Of a small size. In the sec
ond yesr the two middle ones fall out, and their
place is supplied by two new teeth which cas-
lily distinguished by being Of large size. In the
Sd year two other small teeth, one from each side,
drop out and replaced by two large ones, so
that there are now four large teeth in the middle,
and two pointed ones at each side. In the 4th
year. the large teeth are in number, and only .
small ones remain, at each end Of the range
In the 9Th year. the remaining small teeth are lost,
and the whole front teeth are large. In the 9th
year, they all begin 10 be worn, and in the 9TH.
sometimes sooner, some fall out are broken.

hectares, an abundance Of the best and most pal

exchanges, says that on suitable SOIL with proper

Hints 70 Farmers.

There are some things that farmers ought to
know.
Sheep put into fresh stables apt TO be killed
by eating too much grain.
bare pasture enrches not the soil nor lat,cns
the animals, nor increases the wealth Of the owner.
One animal well fed is of more value than two
poorly kept.
The better animals can be fed, and the more
comfortable they can be kept, the more profitable
they are-and all farmers work for profit.
Ground once well powed is better than thrice
poorly,
BOuntiful crops more profitable than poo'
ones. Make the soil rich, pulverize il well and
keep it clean aud it generally will be productive.
Weeds that grow unmoested around the fences
stumps aud stones, scatter their seeds over the
farm, and are very.apt tog grow.
Cows well fed in winter give more milk in sum-
mer. An OK that is III good condition in the
spring, will perform more labor, and stand the heat
OF summer much better than that is poor.
When you see the fence down put !, up; iii
remains until tomorrow the cattle may gel over
What ought to be done to-day, do il for to-mor.
row it may rain.
A strong horse will work all day without food
but keep him at it, and he will not last long.
rich soil will produce good crops without ma
nure, but keep it at it aud ii will tire.
Farmers sons had better learn to hold the pillow,
aud feed the pigs. than measure tape and count
buttons
Young ladies who have the loo,l fortune TO
become farmers wives will find il more profitable
10 know how 10 make johnny cakes butter aud
cheese, than TO play on the piano.
All who wish to be rich, must spend less than
they earn.-- Northern Journal.
