THE HOUSE AND THE FARM
Node Of Ascertaining the Age Of Ca@tle
by their Teeth.

Persons acquainted with the dentition of
meat stock" can form apretty accurate idea
OF age, from the period of birth up to that
of adult life; and this method Of ascertain
ing the age of an animal is, probably, more
correct than that which applies to horns; for,
by means Of rasp applied to the rings of
the horns, any amount of imposition may
be practsed, when it is well known that the
same liberties are not to be taken with the
teeth without the chances of discovery. 1t
is possible that there may be some slight
variations from the following rules, in the de-
veIopment of the teeth. yet such variations
will not embrace period of over month
or six weeks, which at maturity does not
amount to much, and may be considered
as purely accidental-out of the ordinary
course of nature. The front teeth or tenn
porary incisors are found in the lower jaw;
there are eight of them, all prominent at the
age of four weeks. The calf is usually born
with temporary grinders and molars; the
fourth appears six months after birth; the
fifth appears at the age of fifteen months;
the sixth is to be seen at the age of two and
half years; now, the animal has "full
mouth of temporary teeth, numbering thr-
ty-tWO. AZ IniS periou reildi kao'e cha"Se
in teeth is about to occur; the temporary
ones having answered the purpose for which
they were intended, are to be removed in
the following order, SO as to give place to
others which shall correspond to the increase
in the size of the jaw bones, and prove du
rable as other bones of the body. At the
age of two years the central or middle in
cisors (ower jaw are shed and replaced by
two permanent ones. At the age of three
the incisors known as the inner middle, un
dergo the same process. AT the age of four
the outer middle are shed, and replaced by
permanent teeth. At the age of five, the
corner incisors are also transformed in The
same manner, and the animal has a full Sc,
(eight) of permanent front teeth. The first
and permant moars known as grinders, ap
pear in the upper and lower jaws on each
side, at the age Of two years; and at intervals
of one year, SO that at the age of six years
the animal has full mouth of permanent
grinders. Anaerican Stock Journal

the head of his arduous profession So great
