How 90 Know Ihe Age Of a Horse.


The colt is born with twelve grinders. When
four front teeth make their appearance Itbe
colt is twelve days old and when the neTt four
come forth, it is four weeks old. When the
corner teeth appear, the colt is eigh! months
and when the latter have attained to the height
of the front teeth. It is one year old. The two
year old colt has kernel (the dark substance
in the middle of the tooth's crown ground out
of all the front teeth. In the third year, the
middle iron. teeth are being shifted; and when
three years old these are substituted by horse
teeth. The next four teeth are shifted in the
fourth year, and the corner in the fifth. At
six years the kernel is worn out Of tbs lower
middle front teeth. and the bride teeth have
now attained their full growth. At seven years
hook has been formed on the corner teeth of
the upper jaw: the kernel Of the the teeth mex
to the middle fronts is worn out, and the bride
teeth begin to wear off. Ateight years of age
the kernel is worn out Of all the lower front
teeth, and begins to decrease in .he middle up
per fronts. In the ninth year, the kernel has
wholly disappeared from the upper middle front
teeth, the hook on the corner teeth has increas.

In the tenth year the kernel is worn out OF the
teeth next to the middle fronts of the upper
jaw ard in the eleventh gear the kernel has
entirely vanished from tue corner .s,th Of the
: same jaw. At twelve years old, the crown o.
a Of all the frcnt teeth in the lower jaw become
triangular, and the bride teeth are much worn
down. AS the horse advances in age, the gums
shrink away from the teeth, which consequent

FATTENISG HoGs.--A farmer in Tennessee,
approaching the difficulties with which stock
raisers will have to contend this fall and next
winter, in consequence Of the unusual scarcity
of corn, set his wits to work to devise some
plan to remove difficulty, and, after much in
vestigation and severe study, he hit upon a plan
for fattening hogs without corn. The plan is
simply to feed the poor and young hogs to those
the farmer wishes to bacon, In this way he
gets his pork into a smaller number Of hogs,
who of course, can only eat in proportion Il
their number, while the long meat is exceeding
ly nutritious and possesses fattenng qualities
almost equal to cod liver oil. By the time one
half the hogs have eaten the other half they viii

placed in his cellar, where there is no danger
from frost and filled to the chime with ears of

cles are filed. When well soaked the corn is
fed to the horses, and when the contents ofone
cask is consumed, it is again filed and the ami
mails fed from the other. Even cobs soaked in
similar manner, but in pickle instead of pure
water, are eagerly devoured by the cows, ,espe
cialy if the usual allowance of salt is withheld.
The corn cob contains n large quantity of nu-
triment, and is far too valuable to be thrown
away.
