matter fairly aud not be convinced.
| did not say that two teeth would
develop in - days, bl't "heu
the teeth are formed IN the jaw,they
will grow yer, rapidly, and as III
the ease OF Mr.. Stemns ilelier, d!d
make their appearance III IS days
after the fair; how much sooner
cannot tell, for did not see Ter
sooner. Now am accused OF adj
yiSing Mr.. Stearns to extract the
calf teeth. My reason for this was
simply for the good Ct the animal,
aud IN no way connected with the
matter Of age or the controversy.
Mr.. Iouatt says "thc = yrs. Ola
beast will have permanent lnces
ors, and often apparently no mix
teeth" but if the mouth is cNamIn'

appeared, and the tooth that Is to
remain until the next year. are hllu

They are often a source OF annoy

whose turn it was to go must be
drawn. Knowing this tooth would

ttercd my advicc-as cheeriuIly as
cured "A film that threatened few
months ago to destroy her vision.
Whether the advise was uncalled
for or nor. | shall take the preroga
ton to advise my Friends and En-.
cmics whenever am confident. !
am doing them no injury.
Now for the three points that
Mr.. Is. thinks he has annnihllated,
Isl. He says:'l deny that the
Gcutlcmau's unquPstioncd veracIty
was sufficient guarantee to Justify
Mr.. Peters, or even Justice, in pre-
senting their stock for premium.
According to the rules nfthe society
an animal must be owned 3 months
within the limits of the society,"
Before the ialr talked the mat
ter oven with several officers OF the
Society and they told me 1t was not
intended to exclude animals from
erhibition and premium that were
bought and kept by parties in the
Society hmsts, but to exclude ami
mails exhibited under false pretcnsC
bv parties who did not own then ;
and since it was 50 nearly ) months
| would be allowed to exhibit. MI
Davis. the President of the society
told me to exhibit and if my anima
was the best she would be entitled
to the premium Mr.. b. thought so
| expect, as he gave me tie frs
premium and | never saw the com
mittee on Jersey stock, nor knew
them, until after the awarding o
Premiums. Now people that llv
in glass houses should not throw
stones. Another rule Of the societ,
is that all full Blood stock shall b
backed by Il Pedigree. Mr.. Stcarn'
heiter is not Il full Blood, neithe
does he claim her such still sh
took the first premium. | don
claim this startling discovery.
2nd. Point. The committee

In answering the third Poin. NJ
