AGE or SuEEr.-The age of sheep may
be known by examining the front teeth,
They are eight In number, and appear
during the first year, all Of small size.
In the second year the two middle ones
fall out, and their place Is supplied by two
new teeth, which are easily distinguished,
bclng of n larger size. In the third year,
two other small teeth, one from each side,
drop out, and are replaced by two large
ones, so that there are now four large
teeth In the middle, and two pointed ones
on each side. In the fourth year, the
large teeth are six in number, and only
two small ones remain, one at each end
Of the range. In the fiifh year, the re
naming small teeth are lost, and the
whole front teeth are large. In the sixth
year, the whole begin TO be worn, and IN
the seventh, sometimes sooner, some fall
out and are broken.

CARD THE cows.-One would think
that any kind-hearted man, when he sees
how grateful this operation is to the cow,
would be willing to spend few moments
daily In carding her. All who have fair
ly tried IL find great benefit from the
operation. Some men laugh at the idea,
but In point of fact, no cow can give the
best results at the pail, unless this matter
is attended to, especially In winter.

The Properttes Of Tea,

The physiological properties Of tea are
similar to those of coffee; 1t Is slightly as
tringent and tonic, and when used without
milk or sugar Is simple remedial agent
In nausea and indigestion; but II sugar Is
ad ded 1t Is converted into thin syrup,
which Is more apt to produce indigestion
than the consumption Of many times Its
weight of pure candy, since sugar Is more
dlgestible In the concentrated than In the
dilute state. 1t Is mild stimulant to the
skin aud kidneys, It prevents sleepiness,
counteracts the effect OF alchol, and redu-
ces the rate of waste of the tissues, an ac-
tion supposed to be due to the theme, or
peculiar principle Of the plant, the quantl-
ty of which is varlously estimated from
one half of one to four per cent, and
which closely resembles caffeine, or the
principle Of coffee. 1t Is also an aphro-
disiac of considerable power. and the rap
Id increase Of the population In China Is,
by some, supposed to be due to It's univer-
sal use by all classes. In addition to Its
other properties, the Chinese regard 1t rs
q pr eventive Of gout and calculus. 1t 10
doubt has the power Of preventing the
latter; but this action Is probably due to
the fact that, II water is boiled the greater
part Of the carbonate of lime It contains,
and which would enter into the compost

fore the drinking Of boiled water would
be equally effective In influencing the
prevalence of this disease. II Is also mar
cotic and sedatlve, like opium; but like 1t,
its action varies with the individual and
the dose. To some, 1t Is exhilarating to
the nervous and calming to the vascular
system. In the words of Waller,
The Muses. friend, lea, docs our fancy aid

To others, OH the contrary, It Is highly

fashion Of Sairy Camp; others consider It
almost sacrilege to take 1t at any other
