How TO Ascertain a Horses Age.

1t is not difficult to tell a horses age.
1t 10 important to know few signs
which serve as criterions, and then the
age of horse at almost any stage of life
can readily be told. The colt is born
with four grinders, and when the four
front teeth have made their appearance,
it is twelve days old. When the next
four come it is four weeks old. When
the corner teeth appear the animal is
eight months old. When the latter have
attained to the height of the front teeth,
it is one year old. The two>yearold colt
has the kernel (the substance in the
middle of the tooth's crown) grown out
in all the front teeth, in the third year
the middle teeth are shifting, and when
three years old these are substituted by
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 lower middle
front teeth, and the bride teeth have
now attained to their full growth. At
seven years a hook has been formed in
the corner teeth of the upper jaw, the
kernel of the next at the middle is worn
out and the bride teeth begin to wear
off. At eight years the kernel is worn
out of the lower front teeth, and begins
TO decrease in middle upper front. In
the ninth year the kernel has wholly dis
appeared FROM the upper middle front
teeth, the hook on the corner has in
creased in size, and the bride teeth lose
their points. In the tenth year the
kernel is worn out of the teeth next to
the middle front 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 has become triangular, and the bride
teeth are much worn down. AS the
borse advances in age, the gums shrink
away from the teeth, which consequently
receives long, narrow appearance, and
the kernels become darkish points. Gray
increases in the forehead and over the
eyes, and the chin assumes the form of an
angle. NEBRASKA Farmer.

az Live stock breeding has been the
key to agricultural prosperity in all coun-
tries the world over. The better the
stock the greater the prosperity. How
this comes about may be easily figured.
Every pure bred bull, buck or boar will
increase the value of each animal pro
duced from two to ten dollars-sometimes
vastly more than this. This increase of
value will often mark the difference be-
tween profit and loss. With the present
low prices at which pure bred sires may
be obtained, the farmer who does not use
them Is foolishly blind to his own in
terests.

Commercial Fertilizers for Wheat.

1t is evident that in order to make
wheat profitable the yield must be in.
creased considerably above the average
At present prices with the average yield
the farmer is compelled to work for very
low wages. In growing a good crop of
wheat there are two essentials; these are
good seed sown in good season and
good, rich, thoroughly prepared SOIL
Growing crop of clover, cutting off the
first crop for hay, and when good Sec
ond growth has been secured, plowing it
under and preparing the soil in good
tilth, is a good preparation for wheat.
Another good plan is to plow the ground
as soon as possible after harvest, taking
care to scatter evenly over the surface.
Then in preparing the soil in a suitable
condition for the seed the manure will be
worked we'll enough into the soil.
But on the average farm, even where
nearly or quito everything is fed out to
stock on the farm and all reasonable care
is taken to save manure, it will be diff
cult to secure enough to keep up the
cases commercial fertilizers can be used
to q good advantage with; these are
wheat and potatoes and often when com.
crops there will be enough barn yard ma.
nure to grow good crops of other kinds.
By increasing the yield of wheat, taking
good care to save the straw and either
toed ont or uee for bedding, a much
larger quantity of manure can be saved.
On farms that have been cropped down
the use of commercial manures can be
made the starting point towards improv.
ing the fertility. By yapplying with wheat
in the fall the yield may be materially in
creased. The growing of larger crops
gives more feed, and this in turn admits
of keeping more stock, which in turn
give more manure.
One advantage with the commercial
fertilizer is the ease of applying and its
availability.
1t is in form that makes the greater
per cent Of it easily soluble and hence
readily available for use by the growing
plants. This is an advantage, as it
lessons the cost of applying, and at the
same time secures o more vigorous start
of the plants to grow in tho fall, and
making them better able to stand tie
winter. -Yy-l
One of the best ways of applying is to
use o drill with. fertilizer attachment,
so that when the seed wheat is sown the
fertilizer will be distributed at the same
time, scattering broadcast over the sur
face, generally more evenly than can be
done by hand. Or it can be sown broad
cast by hand over the surface just before
or just after sowing the seed. The feed.
ing roots Of the wheat plant grow reason-
ably near the surface and in applyinga
fertilizer of any kind it is. quite an item
