No better evidence of the merit of any
original article exists than an enduring repu-
tation founded against all the attempts OF
the envious and piratical imitators, who
have endeavOred to palm off their worthless
substitutes, and which are offered for sale
through the medium Of unprincipled
dealers. 1t has been the worthy fortune of
Glenn's Sulphur Soap to survive all such en-
croachments, and its prestige and rights
have been sustained by legal decision This
article possesses extraordinary virtues as a
skin remedy and beautifer, and its excellence
has been proved and extolled by the testi-
mony of a large number of persons in every
section of this country; its sale even extend
ing largely into foreign lands. This skilful
combination of soap with sulphur, and
which is well known to the public by long
and persistent advertising rs ''Glenn's Sui
phur Soap" is the exclusive property of
Charles n. Crittenton, of New York; and to
guard against limitations purchasers should
see that each package bears his name.

Farm and Home.



The Rural New Yorker says: In
too many neighborhoods farmers
have prepared a bountiful crop OF
weeds for next years seeding.
Along the roads, in old strawberry
patches and potato fields, in the
waste places back of tho houses,
thcre are millions of weed seeds
ripening at leisure. Weeds are o
curse. We are tired Of the charity
which spoke of them as "plants
whose virtues have not been dis
covered" They are the worst OF
all enemies of legitimate plant
life, for they add robbery to muir
der. If farmers would only CON-
bfne against these tramp weeds
which crowd into roadsides and
other waste places, thus escaping
the cultivation which is bestowed
upon the profitable parts of the
farm, with the determination with
which they combine against Oleo-
margerine, they could make solid
progress. The fact that the weeds
grow and flourish upon land that
could not be probably employed
in agriculture, leads many farmers
to consider them comparatively
harmless. This is a fatal mistake.
So long as a single weed ripens its
seed within 20 rods Of a cultivated
field, the field is in danger. And
oven after every growing weed
has been exterminated, there is
danger. 1t has been shown that
weeds can lie dormant in the soil
for years, TO germInate at last
when least expected. The inter
est awakened in tree planting by
the general observance of Arbor
Day, has done much to eounteract
the careless spirit which prompts
the destruction of forests. Shall
we not be forced IN the near future
to appoint "Weed Days?" The
idea is q sensible one. By devot-
ing one day to the business of cut
ting and burning the weeds that
grow IN roads and waste places,
farmers could save themselves an
immense amount of work and trou-
ble.-Let Oranges and Farmers
Clubs take hold of the matter, and
make "Weed Day" an established
fact.

gent and candid voter of either of
the great political parties, one is
struck with the potent fact that
merely party names and party affili-
atoms have lost and are still losing
their practical force. There is
greater willingness to canvass the
merits of candidates irrespective
of their nominations by the party
caucus or convention"

FOR TELLING HORSES. ACES

The full-grown horse possesses
twenty four back teeth-that is,
six in each side of the jaw; these
are called molars or grinders. He
has twelve front teet; that is, six
In each jaw. Mares have no tushes.
The foal has either at his birth or
shortly afterward eight milk teeth;
that is, four in each jaw; at about
twelve months two more milk teeth
come in each jaw. These remain
unchanged till he is three years
old. The mouth of the year
ling and two-year-old can
not be COMPOUNDED. The yearl-
ing mouth shows no signs of use,
and the corner teeth are shelly
only; at two years old these teeth
are strong and well grown, and the
corner teeth filled up. A little be-
fore three years the two center
teeth of each jaw fall out and are
replaced by permanent ones. A
little before five the two remaining
teeth are shed, and in their place
come permanent ones. The upper
milk teeth usually fall out first.
Thus the mouth is completed as
to its front teeth. The corner tooth,
however, is but imperfectly devel-
oped, being at present a shell only.
This shell at SIX years old has fill
ed up, and is a complete tooth.
This is the difference between five
and a SIX year old. The tushes
appear between three and a half
and four years old, and they take
nearly Two years to arrive at their
full growth. These teeth, as the
horse grows older, get blunter and
shorter, and so to an experienced
Judge are q sure indication of age.
Up to six years old the mouth is
in distinct and periodical state of
structural change. There is no dif-
ficulty in determining the age up
to that date. After that the age
must be judged by the shape of the
mouthand the appearance of the
teeth called the mark. At SIX years
ofage the cuts leave the two GEN.
ter'teeth above, at seven the next
two above, at eight the outer or
corner teeth above.
At nine the two center teeth be-
lowlose the cuts, at ten the next
two below, and at eleven the outer
or corner teeth below. Alter lit
tie practice the close observer can
scarcely make q mistake. The
changes that occur are the same in
all horses, or nearly so.
