Age Of the Cow,

The age Of the cow is known hv tine
teeth and horns. This animal is firm
i-hed with eight cutting teeth I'm the
lower jaw; at the age of ten months the
two middle-mOst Of these fall out. and
are replaced by others that are not so
white, but broader; at the age Ofsixteen
months the two next milk-whitc teeth
fall out likewise, and others come uD i'm
their room; thus, at the end of every
six months, the creature loses and gains.
till at the age of three years all the cut-
ting teeth are renewed, and then they
are long, pretty white, and equal: but
in proportion as the animal advances I'm
years, they become irregular and black.
their inequalities become smoother. and
the animal less capable of chewing its
food. Thus the COW often declines from
this single cause, for it IS Obliged to eat
a great deal to support life, and as the
smOOthncss Of the teeth makes the diff
Guilty Of chewing great, a sufficient
quantity of food cannot be supplied to
the stomach. Thus the poor animal
sinks i'm the midst Of plenty, and every
year grows le5nCr and learner, till il
dies.
The horns are another and surcr
method Of determined the animals age.
At three years old, n very slight exter-
nal shell coating falls Off at the places
where the horns are about arising. At
four years of age the COW has small
pointed, neat, smooth horns, thickest
near the head; at five the horns become
larger, and are marked around with the
former years growth. Thus, while the
animal continues to live, the horns con-
tinue to lengthen, and every year a new
ring is added to the root; so that allow
ing three years before their appearance,
and then reckoning the number Ofrings;
we have in both together, the animals
age exactly PrUjrjC Farmer.

Disorders Incident TO spring.

Ia the Spring OF the year PiII-mukcrs
reap rich harvests from the sale Of their
nOstrums. a single dealer has inform
ed US that in Il town of ), 900 people, be-
tween the first Of March and the June,
he has sold as 800 boxes of pills. OF
course they had been pulled well by al
manaCs devoted to that purpose. The
IeasOn why there is always such a de
mand for physic in the Spring, is be-
cause when the warm weather of March
and April comes, people keep on eating
too much food, more than can be man
aged by the stomach except during the
cold Winter weather. The result is, the
stomach is overtaXed, the liver and
bowels ObstrUCsed, the blood deteTiOTa-
ted, and the patient, for want Of know
ledge, knows no better than to resort to
to physic. The true method to be OBJ
served in such cases is, on the approach
Of Spring, to eat less food, and that Of a
mildeT nature. The brown bread should
take the place of the white, if white is
used i'm the Winter. More fruit should
be taken. Avoid stale vegetables. II
you have not good potatoes, eat none,
for poor potatoes are very unWhOlCSOmC.
If you have good potatoes, bake them OF
boil them, and not fry or hash; eat with
fresh cream instead of gravy or butter.
Use freely of canned fruit or well kept
apples; at least one meal. Avoid fat
meat, pastry, cakes, rich puddings and
live simply and naturally. Every fam
ilY should pltby for Spring use zSuffici-
ent good fruit, to have il abundent in
March, April and May, and rs soon as
Strawberries ripen they should be used
freely. Strawberries for those who have
attacks of the disorders incident to
Spring, are one of the best remedies that
can be used. We pity the family that
does not have them in abundance, and
early ones too. Nature seems to have
made them on purpose to meet a de-
mand Of the system in early Summer,
and have known many cases of invalids
being greatly improved by their free use
Wilson, the OrnithOlOgist, was once or
dered by an Indian doctor TO five OBJ
Strawberries i'll order to cure am Obtinate
dysentaTy, and to his surprise he was
cured in less than n week. The tomato
which can he canned i'm almost UHIimit-
ed quantities, 50 as to bC as fresh and
good in the Spring as in the Autumn,
should also be used freely, and not as an
occasional luxury, but as a regular ar
ticle of diet. They are especially whole
some at this season of the year. These
simple rules followed, viii in most eases
