Notes.

The process of denition of a sheep is
as follows: AT one month old the lamb
has eight temporary teeth in the from
and three temporary molars on each
side of each jaw; al three months one
permanent molar added to theS @
three; at nine months second perma-
neut molar appears; al fourteen months
the first two permanent incisOrs appear
in The center of the front of the lower
jaw; at eighteen months, a third per-
manent molar appears; al twenty-ore
months the second pair of permanent
incisors appear, one tooth on each side
of the first pair: at twenty-seveh
months the temporary molars are
changed for permanent ones; at thirty
months the third pair of permanent in
cisors appear, and at forty months the
fourth pair is complete. The sheep is
then ful-mouthed and is rising four
years. After that the age is indicated
by the appearance of the incisors and
moars, but this is deceptive, because a
sheep fed on thin sandy pasture and on
straw wears the teeth much faster than
one fed on better pasture and on roots.
Some sheep may have good teeth at ten
or twelve years of age, while others can
scarcely bite at eight.

Sheep Husbandry in Australia.

amount of money invested in land and
its improvements, and at the quality of
the stock and wool raised under such
conditions. The sheep are of good size

American pcks-with long white
fieeces. Upon closer inspe ;tion found
the wool fine in quality and of good
style, usually two and lhree-quarters

that breeders here have subordinated
every other consideration to length and
fineness of staple, aud their success in
this direction accounts largely for the
popularity of Australian woods in the
markets of the world; while furnishing
additional proof of the susceptibility OF
the sheep to permanently assume such
characteristics as the intelligent and
persistent breeder may decree. Here

p esent time, with the exception of a
few crosses of the Vermont stock, to
increase the length of staple and
weight of carcass. AS now managed,
these sheep are kept in flocks of one
hundred or less and carefully shelter
ed in winter, aud are capable of yield
ing feeces of five pounds or more in
average weight,on broad, smooth, low
down carcasses weighing one hundred
and fifty pounds. A correspondent of
the Michigdn Farmer, who has lately
visited this section, thus decribes the
wool:
There is scarcely a fleece less than
three inches in length of pure white
wool. Each fleece is an armful, and
has that springy lighIness which de-
lights the buyer, and which is purohas-
ed at the trade centers as soon as OPEN
ed out for sale, at top prices. The
xxx grade is selected from this class
of wool 1t is of silky fineness, and
has an even crimp from end to end.
1t works into the highest marks Of
worsted goods. 1t is the royal purple
of the wool trade. This quality of wool
has only been known from a very re-
cent period, and is the ouigrowth of an
endeavor to produce pure white fine
wool, of good length, and stylishness of
crimp. free from gum and excess of
oil. For the last quarter of century
the flockmasters of Washington county
have been endeavnring to produce de-
laine wool, and have often looked with
disfavor upon the introduction of the
short, oily wool and wrinkly rams from
Vermont, and have only used such as
would conform to the type they were
aiming to produce. The claim of hav-
ing delaine and xxx wool, therefore is
no accident or mere assumption, but
the result of years of careful breeding
to that end .'-Fdrm and FireSide.

Washington County Wool.

For many years the wool of Wash
ington county, Pennsylvania, has been
accepted as the standard of the best
delaine wool, and has commanded the
highest prices in the market. This
reputation has been the outgrowth of
long and careful breeding in one direc-
ton, the foundation of the Washington
county flocks having been established
by the importation from Spain, in 1920,
of flock of Spanish Merino sheep,
which have been purely bred up to the

The Death of Miss Calhoun

The corOner's examination in the Calhoun case
closed Saturday, and DR.. John r. Chambers filed
his report upon the post mortem. The testi-
mony is quite vOluminous, and the examination
has been quite expensive. Dr. c. E. Gale arrived
in the city from Colorado last Saturday evening,
and will probably be allowed to make state
ment to the coroner A verdict will probably be
reached to morrow.
At a meeting of the teachers, held Saturday
afternoon for the purpose of taking action upon
the death of Miss Calhoun, Professor Tarbell
delivered an address upon the life and
character of the deceased. stating in the course
of his remarks that she had probably done more
than any other teacher in the city to introduce
the kindergarten methods in the public schools
A sketch of Miss Calhoun's life was read by Miss
Clara Washburne. memorial was submitted
by a special committee, of which Professor
George b. LOOMS was chairman, and was
adopted, the following, relating to the circum-
stances of her death, being one OF the clauses
SIT is to be deplored that the going out of the
life of one so true, and who shrank from the
public gaze, should be followed by rumOrs the
truth OF which in some regards It seems impos-
sible to determine. We cannot but record our
conviction, however, based upon what we have
known of her past life among us, that the
thought OF wrong to anyone could never have
entered her mind"
Mrs. Edith Jones and others, who were
especially attentive to the deceased during her
illness, were thanked by resolution.

Death of Mr.. Schnetze.

Mr.. Otto schuetze, for several years past in
charge of the signal service office at this city,
died at ST. Vincents Hospital yesterday after
noon of a complication of diseases, the principal
of which was pulmonary congestion. But little

that he was most estimable gentleman and
very efficient officer. During his stay here he
made many friends, who will sincerely mourn
his death. He was an enthusiast in his profess
sion, understanding it thoroughly, and he was
recognized as one Of the ablest officers in the
service. He came from Washington to this city,
but had previously had charge of the bureau at
Wilmington. N. C. 1t is not known that Mr.
Schuetze has any relatives in this country, and
thus far no definite arrangements have been
made for his funeral 1t viii probably take
