How to Know the Age of Horse

The colt is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their
appearance, the colt is twelve days old !;
and when the next four come forth, it is
weeks old. When the corner teeth ap>
pear the cold is eight months old, and
when the latter have attained the height
of Of the front teeth, it is one year old.
The two years cold has the kernel
the dark substance il the middle of the
tooth's crown-ground out of all the
front teeth. ...r. . ..... s...
In tho third year the middle front
teeth arc being shifted, and when three
years old these arc substituted for the
horse teeth. The next four teeth are
shifted in the fourth year and the corner
teeth in the fifth.
At six years the kernel is worn out of
the middle front teeth, and the bride
teeth have now attained to their full
growth. aw0uv r.
at seven years a hook has been formed
on the corner teeth Of the upper Jaw ;the
kernel Of the teeth next at the middle
fronts is worn out, and the bride teeth
begin to wear off.
At eight years of age,the kernel is worn
out Of all the lower front teeth, and be-
gins to decrease in the middle upper
fronts.
In the ninth year the kernel has wholly
disappeared from the upper middle front
teeth, the hook on the corner tooth has
increased in size, as the bride teeth lose
their points.
In the tenth year the kernel has worn
out of the teeth next to the middle fronts
Of the upper jaw; and in the eleventh
year the kernel has entirely vanished from
the corner teeth Of the same jaw.
At twelve years old, the crown of all
the front teeth in the lower jaw have be.
come triangular, and the bride teeth are
much worn down. As the horse advances
in age, the gums shrink away from the
teeth, which consequently receive a long
narrow appearance, and their kernels
have metamoFhosed into a darkish point,
gray hairs increase in the forehead, the
chin assumes the shape of an eagle.-Er.

Cancellation which the South demands is
one that the Moth cannot agree to, in
honor to itself and in justice to the cause
it served. When the North is asked to
blot out the memories of the sacrifices
which it made for the Union, and to ac-
knowledge that both sides in the rebellion
we're equally right. It's manhood ~revolts,
at the thought of granting a concession so
devoid of justice. -lA-
But, to overlook the past, to forgive
the errors of those who made necessary
its great sacrifices, to join hands, with
them ia a common effort to improve the
present and build up the future, to assist
those who fought against them to recover
the prosperity which they lost, to act the
part Of true friend and brother-ihe
North stands ever ready.
1t cannot undo the past il cannot blot
out what is part of its glorious history ;
it cannot acknowledge that the South was
right or that the war against the Union
was as honorable as the wal for it but
it can bury all of its resentments, and
extend its hand in genuine fellc wship
to those who earnestly seek reconciliation
on the basis Of common interest in the
Union.

Sure Remedy for Bots.

gentleman from Georgia tried and found
effective in dispelling hat serious trouble
in horses About thirty years ago a
friend lost by bots a very fine horse. He
took from the stomach of the dead horse
about q gill of bots, and brought them
to my office to experiment upon He
made preparations of every remedy he
had heard Of, and put some Of them into
each. Most had no effect, a few af.
fected them slightly, but sage tea more
than anything else that killed them l.
fifteen hours. He concluded be would
kill them by putting them in nitric acid
but it had no more affect on them than
water; .he third day they were as lively
as when put in. A bunch of tansy was
growing by my Office. He took a hand
full Of that, squeezed out the juice, and
put some in they were dead in one
minute. Since then have had it given

bots, and have never known it to fail in
giving entire relief. My friend had an
other horse Affected with bots severed

Spontaneous Combustion in
g'0. "s+ Hay. b.

There are doubtless many farmers who
have experienced sudden and destructive
coniagratiens in their hay lofts, which
could not be 'ascribed to any exterior
agency. Barns have been known to burst
into flames, almost without warning, save
perhaps a significant ordor, for a few
days previously J, around the places where
the hay was stored, aud a summers har>
vest is swept away in as many minutes as
it has taken days to gather it IT,
unexpected confagrations are generally
accredited to ~''trampS' who hive made
the bay loft their sleeping resort, but it is
now asserted that such c0lamities are fire..
quently due to the spontaneous combus.
ton Of the hay, a circumstance tie reti-
cally quite possible, but rare considered.
Able Moigno, in Les MouaeS, gives the
following as the theory Of the phenon e.
Mons Hay, when piled damp in too large
masses, ferments and turns dark. In d..
composing, sufficient heat is developed to
be insupportable when the hand is thrust
into the mass, and vspors begin to be
emitted. When the water is almost en-.
tirely evaporated, and decomposition con-
continues, and the hay becomes carbon>
lied little by little and then the oharred
portion like peat, peat cinders mixed
with charcoal, %sulphurous pyrites and
Ignite, etc, becomes a kind Of pyrophor-
GUS, b. virtue of its great porosity AID of
the large quantity of matter exposed to
high oxidation. Under the influence of
air in large amount this charcoal be-
comes concentrated on tie surface to such
a degree that the nass reaches Il temper.
allure which results in its bursting into
flames.
The preventives for this danger are
care that the hay in the loft is kept dry,
that it is we'll packed, aud that it is
stored in small heaps rather than in large
masses.--Scicntiic American.

Joke That Missed Fire.

COoley's oldest boy isa little too
fond of playing practical jokes. The
other evening he went up into the third.
story back room in which the hired man
sleeps, and fixing a piece of stout Irvine
to the bed>clothes, he ran it down stairs
into his Own room, with the intent to re.
move the covers from the hired man as
soon as that individual got into bed.
the Cooleys had just taken down their
winter stoves, and they had the parlor
stove standing temporarily at the head
of the thirdNstory stairs. The man dis
covered tie strings just as he was retiring,
and co%mpreheudiug the motive of the
intended trick, he quietly united it, and
fastened it to the stove. The boy
meantime had gone to bed, and forgotten
about the string. But about ten o'clock
Mr.. Cooley, who was upstairs getting
apples in the garnet, caught his foot in
the string as he was coming down the
stairs. He fell and pulled the stove over
after him, and the next NON ent Cooley,
q pan OF apples, and about forty pieces Of
stove, stoyepipe, CRATES, and Trick lining
were rafting Down stairs, with a noise
like avolleY of musketry. AS Cooley
lay on the landing with a pile Of apples
and cast iron heaped upon him, Mrs.
Cooley, aud the boy and the servants
came rushing out to ascertain what on
earth was the matter. As they ap.
preached, Cooley said:
Terrible, wason't it? Awfullest,
earthquake we ever had in this country"
"Was there a real earthqnake?' asked
Mrs, Cooley. II didn't feel q shake"
Didn't feel it!' exclaimed Cooley,
taking q stove-leg out Of his shirt.collar
and brushing the SCOT from his clothes.
"Didl't feel itH Why, my graCiousl The
house rocked like a cradle. l thought
she'd go clear over every minute. Its
the worst shock 1 ever felt. Sent me
skipping down stairs with things a rat,
Ting after me till | thought the roof had
burSted in. There's something queer
about these scientific men say that the
shake always moves kinder in waves from
east to west, so that if it comes from
the-Hello what's this?" exclaimed
Cooley, discovering the Irvine wrapped
around his leg. Who tied that string
to that there stove?"
As he looked around iDquiringly he
observed his Oldest boy suddenly
mount upon the banister aud glide
swiftly down to the first floor, where be
stood waiting for an offensive movement
on the part Of his father. Then Cooley
leaned over the railing, and shaking bis
fist at him, said: .H
you wicked little ~scoundrel. if you
AIT a candidate for the gallows I'm nc
judge. You come up here and go to bed,
and to morrow morning I'll tan your hide
for you with o bed>slat. You mind me !
III give you enough earthquake to
make you dance from here to the equator,
you two-headed outcast |"
Then the family wen. to bed, and the
boy crept softly up the kitchen stairs,
thinking there was not much fun in such
Jokes ANYHOW.

they were right, but the men Of the
North believe they were wrong. But
this ought not to interfere with true re-
cancellation. Aud yet this seems to
be the stumbling block in the way. The
South wants the North to acknowledge
the justice Of the lost cause and the pa.
triotism Of the men engaged in it. Many
extremists Of North want the people of
the South to acknowledge they we're
wrong, to make an humble confession Of
their treason before they will extend the
olive branch. Herein lies the difficulty.
Human nature asserts itself, and many
