weather.
The dry weather continues, and is
really gettiug to be a serious prob
lem. The heavens indicated rain
Tuesday, and many showers fell a
few miles away but none in Lincoln
township. Corn needs rain, althou gh
it will make an excellent crop if it
should not get any for ten days yet.
The hay crop is secured. an excel lent
quality and an abundant yield; small
grain is as near perfect, taking it all
around as could be wished for. A
rain now within ten days will make
our farmers feel like wearing dia-
monds.
A very mysterious ''incident" hap
pened on the Schacder farm north of
this place last week. One of the
neighbor women happened to drop in
fora few minutes and found Mrs. Han
sens daughter, a girl of IA years,
hanging by piece of barbwire but
just tip toe to the floor, the lady
friend relieved the girl from the pre-
dicament, when by way of explana-
tion the girl said the folks were in the
harvest field and she was preparing a
lunch for them when a tall strange
woman appeared at the door and
scared her, then fastening her with a
piece of barbwire in the position men,
toned, looted the house. But the
strange part appears to be that no
strange woman has been seen in the
neighborhood.

LOOK IN HIS MOUTH.

How to Tell the Age of a Horse by His
Teeth.
At 3 years old the horse should
have the central permanent nippers
growing, the other two pairs vast
ing, six grinders in each jaw above
and below, the first and fifth level,
the others and the sixth protruding.
The sharp edges of the new incisors
will be very evident, compared with
the old teeth. AS the permanent nip
pers wear anG continue to grow a
narrow portion of the cone shaped
tooth is exposed by the attrition of
the teeth on each other. The mark
will be wearing out, and the crowns
of the teeth will be sensibly smaller
than at 2 years. Between 81 and
years the next pair of nippers will
be changed, the central nippers will
have attained nearly their full
growth, a vacuity will be left where
the second stood, and the corner
teeth will be diminished in breadth,
worn down, and the mark in the
center of the tooth will become
faint. The second pair of grinders
will be shed.
At4 years the central nippers will
be fully developed, the sharp edge
somewhat worn off and the mark
somewhat wider and fainter. The
next pair will be up, but they will
be small, with mark deep and ex-
tending quite across them. The cor
ner nippers will be larger than the
inside ones, but smaller than before
and flat and the mark nearly effaced.
The sixth grinders will have risen
to level with the others, and the
tushes will begin to appear.
At the horses mouth is almost
perfect. The corner nippers are
quite up, the long, deep mark irreg.
ular in the inside, and the other nip.
pers will bear evident tokens of in.
creased wear. The tushes are near.
ly grown, the sixth molar is up, an6
the third molar is wanting. This
last circumstance will prevent the
deception of attempting to pass 6
late 4yearold as 5-year-old. Al
the mark on the central nippers is
worn out. At z the mark is worn
out in the four central nippers anG
fast wearing away in the corner
teeth. The tushes are rounded at the
points and edges and beginning tt
get round inside. At years old the
tushes are rounded in every way
and the mark is gone from all the
bottom nippers. There is nothing
remaining in them that can after
ward clearly show the age of {
horse. After this the only guides
are the nippers in the upper jaw.
At the mark will be worn from
the middle nippers, from the mex
pair at 10 and from all the upper
nippers at II. At the center nip
pers are round instead of oval. A
10 the others begin to become round
ed, at II the second pair are muct
rounded, at Is the corner ones have
the same appearance, at IA the faces
OF the center nippers become some
what triangular and at II they arr
