COLTS TEETH.
Like Children's Teeth, They Give Trouble
When They Come and Go.

Like Childrcn's Teeth, They Give Trouble
When They Come and Go.
Dr. E. P Niles, in bulletin No, SO,
Virginia agricultural experiment sta
ton, says:
In the colt the incisor and first three
molars on each jaw are always tempo
rary and replaced by permanent teeth
some time during the animals life. The
last three molars are always perma-
nent and are never replaced. The teeth
make their appearance as follows; The
two middle incisors and the first three
molars make their appearance before or
some days after birth, the first laterals
four to six weeks after birth, second
laterals, or corner teeth, six to nine
months after birth, the fourth molar
first permanent one) is cut at from %
to 2 months of age. At "a years the
middle incisors and the first and second
molars are replaced At the same time
the fifth molar is cut At 81 the first
lateral incisors and the third molar are
replaced At a " the corner teeth are
replaced, and the sixth molar is cut. In
case of a male the canine teeth are also
replaced at Al
Dentition in young colts Is sometimes
accompanied by very unfavUrable symp-
toms. The most serious trouble arising
from faulty dentition in young colts is
indigestion with diarrhea. In this trou-
BILE both the molar and incisor teeth
may be at fault If the molars alone
give rise to the trouble, the cause of the
diarrhea may be overlooked, but upon
careful examination Of the mouth the
gums will be seen to be swollen, in
famed and painful to the touch. Should
the incisors also be involved the colt
will refuse to take its nourishment, ow-
ing to the painful condition of the gums
covering the teeth, which have not at
this time made their appearance
through them. If the gums are freely
lanced, the unfavorable symptoms soon
pass away, and the colt is restored toits
normal health. Diarrhea, however, is
not constant in these cases. The writer
has often been called in in cases when
the only symptom present was the re-
fusal of the colt to suckle, which it did
in a vigorous manner after the lancing
of the gums over the incisor teeth.
We have stated that the replacement
of the temporary teeth begins at az
years Of age and continues until ~ or
years Of age. During this time there
is frequently more or less cough, which
is known as dental cough, due to
the irritation of the mucous membrane
lining the mouth and throat, as result
of the teething process This cough is
never of serious nature and needs no
special treatment The eyes are also
sometimes affected through reflex irri-
tation, which usually passes off when
dentition is completed. 1t not infre-
quently happens during dentition that
the temporary molar is not properly
shed. In such cases the animal eats
with difficulty, frequently turning the
head to one side while masticating its
food. The bones Of the face enlarge in
the region of the faulty tooth, and pus
frequently forms in the sinus immediate
ly over the tooth and the adjacent facial
bones, producing an offensive purulent
discharge from the corresponding nos

pared With Former Years.
Itshould be remembered that so years
ago the market for dry goods, taking
the words in a large sense, was much
less extensive than at present. A great
deal Of linen, cotton and wooden cloth
was made in families, and men, cloth
ing was largely prepared by domestic
seamstresses. Homespun was still much
worn. Men and boys who were not af-
ficted with rheumatism did not wear
undershirts and drawers, and the CORE
spending garments were not used by the
other sex till after 1925.
Carpets were unknown among the
poor 80 years ago, even in the rustic

accompanied by her husband and one
child. She was told at the member s
door that she might enter, but that the
other two members of her family must
find seats elsewhere. The little woman
promptly demanded by what right sew

-Four Colorado Women Who Are Holding

1t is rather curious fact that the
four Colorado women now prominent
in politics were all born in the east, but
went west early enough in life to ac-
quire its spirit. Allied to eastern tradi-
tion are the western freedom and inde-

Gravels Of the Glacial Age.

Some 10, 900 or more years ago the
conditions which had brought about the
great ice age were beginning to change
The elevated land began to sink, and a
higher temperature slowly followed.
The long winter was gradually draw
ing to close, and the great springtime
Of the world was beginning to hasten
its influence upon an ice COY ed land.
Tons, rather mountains, of ice began to
melt, and the water filed the river val
leys to overf1owing. Gravel, sand and
mud were borne along by these raging
waters and deposited wherever the con-
ditions were favorable. Ice RATS covered
the surface Of the food. bearing rocks
and bowlders from more northern lands.
All rivers which had glacial sources
were greatly influenced by the final
melting. As the southern part of the ice
sheet rested over northern Pennsylvania,
the Delaware and the Susquehanna were
typical rivers of the age. The rocks and
gravels which line their banks show
how well they have kept the record. In
the Delaware valley brick clay and
gravel are laid out in beautiful terraces,
especially at Stroudsburg and the Wa
ter Gap. Here the waters rose some
200 feet, and an artificial dam is sup
posed to have formed the river into a
broad lake. The Indians, it is said,
have curious legend about this food.
They tell us that the ''Minsies' were
the first race which dwelt here, and the
region round about they call Mini
sink, +" meaning that the waters are
gone" "a vague remembrance perhaps

The Ohufa.

1t is most desirable food for hogs,
and fowls, too, eat it greedilv. This crop
can be planted from May to July, in
rows Lnree IoeU apart, dropping Cne seou
about a foot apart in the row. The
precaution of soaking the ed from one
to three days before planting is neces-
sary to secure a good stand, but after
the soaking, thew should not be planted
during dry spell. The soil should be
moist when the seed are put in. About
200 pounds Of any good fertilizer will be
sufficient for an acre. The plants, when
they first appear above the ground, look
like coarse nut grass. Two plOwings
and the same number of hoelngs, will
generally be sufficient to keep down any
weeds and grass, and in about two
months the ground will be covered with
the rank, green tops, which are excellent
food for cattle and horses. The crop
natures in about three months, and
hogs then turned in will fatten with sur
prising rapidity. 1t is the plan of an
old farmer, instead of digging and saw
ing his seed, to throw two burrows of
earth on the bed before cold weather
sets in. He says he has found that this
will protect them perfectly until spring.
A half bushel of seed will plant about
an acre.

In the last issue of the AGRICULTURIsT
I see an article in regard to sweet pc
tato planting which causes me to think
that some farmers are not posted in
regard to how to stick potato vines in
the ground. The writer wv. FL. FL. in
es-Union) says: 'haye a broom
handle with notch in the end" In
this country we cut the notch in the
side of the stick about two inches from
the end and sharpen the end.
/ send you an end of potato stick in
this mail fixed just as we use it. You
make stick and try it yourself or get
some one else to do it and if you think it
worth any thing then you can tell your
reader how to do it.
1t will stick tender vines with out
breaking. 1t will stick vines in tough
land without breaking and one man can
stick full twice as many vines as with
stick notched in the end and that IS
enough to make every planter use it
think the best stick would be one with
a crooked end like pillow handle only
crooked more. H. S. ENGLISH

A short time after placing an adver-
tisement in your paper offering bud
wood for sale. the orders began to pour
in and over one half of all orders were
tor Dancy tangerines. Now this tanger-
inc, on good, moist soil, is worthy of all
the confidence that it has earned, and
with me it has more than filled my ex-
pectations, but do not let us overdO this
fine fruit and have the market glutted
with them as it has been with seedlings.

seem to have similar intentions that it
changes my opinion as to the wisdom of
doing so. CYRUS W. BUTLER.

Treating Orange Trees.
Editor Florida A1riculturist.

respondents, as to the proper treatment
OF orange sprouts, trees we have not, and
they remind me of remark have often
heard, when residents of few months,
have been telling us all about orange
culture, viz; "When he has been here a
few years, he won't know so much about
orange growing as he does now" When
we have had little more experience
with freezes we will know better than
now, how to manage our injured trees.
Much money has been spent on groves
in this locality since the freeze that
seems to have been wasted. Flowing,
hoeing, cutting off the green wood and
painting only to find that subsequently
they died back to the ground. All this
exhibits the impotence of our natures
We want to be doing something-wltha
very deficient idea as to what that some
thing should be. A very prominent
medical professor in lecturing to his
class said-"In difficult cases, where the
way is not perfectly plain, use the ex-
pectant treatment" That is do but lit
tie until you have learned just what to
do.
Does not blowing cut the small fibrous
roots and give an additional shock to the
trees? Does not fertilizing stimulate
the roots tc more active feeding, and
force a large and tender growth of
sprouts that will be subject to destruc-
ton by much less cold the coming win
ter? Would it not be more wise to let
the sprouts harden with smaller growth :?
| have few trees, and have done
nothing to them by way of cultivation,
or fcrtiliZng. tie some of the sprouts
to body and limbs of the dead top, TO
hold them from falling down anu break
ing off at the root by their own weight,
and pinch off the tops of some that
seem 20 be growing too rank. AS a
medical man, dislike your idea of
treating the sick. A cOnvalescent should
be fed on light diet, and in small guam
titles.
We have the roots of orange trees that
have nourished 80, 40, so times as much
foliage as the sprouts are furnishing.
and they are feeding those sprouts so
that there is much more danger of their
becoming tender than there is of their
not having sufficient nourishment. Have
patience gentlemen. Orange groves are
not made in day-nor in a season.

We quite agree with our correspond
ent that a convalescent should be fed on
light diet and small quantities. If your
convalescent was in closed room In
which there were a good many other
greedy persons ready to grab no every
thing that was put in the room to eat,
you would not throw it in promisCuOusly
and let the convalescent run the risk of
getting it. Instead you would drive out
the others AMI place his food where he
could get it. In recommending that a
grove be cultivated and fertiliZed we ex-
pect that the grower has some brains
and that he would know that it is not
necessary to pillow so deep that the roots
could be heard to ''pop" one of HealeY's
half miles away, nor that he would put
on fertilizer enough for tree that was
