AGE INDICATED BY TEETH.
An Official English Table Of Rules
That Seems to Be Worthy OF
General Application.

The Live Stock Report recently pup
lished list of rules governing the oe-
termination of age in different animals
as indicated by dental appearances
These rules are those governing the
classification of animals at the Smith
field and Birmingham shows in Eng
land. While there is more or less va
ration in any class of animals and we
can see very serious objections to the
use of such rules for the above purpose
they have a general application; and
our readers may find them very con-
venient on frequent occasions:
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors cut will be considered as
exceeding one year and six months.
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors fully up will be consid-
cred as exceeding one year and nine
months.
Cattle having their second pair OF
permanent incisors fully up will bs
considered as exceeding two years and
three months.
Cattle having their third pair Of per-
manent incisors cut will be considered
as exceeding two years and eight
months.
Cattle having their fourth pair (cor-
ner) permanent incisors fully up and
their anterior molars showing signs OF
wear will be considered as exceeding
three years.
Sheep having their central perma-
nent incisors cut will be considered as
exceeding ten months.
Sheep having their central perma-
nent incisors fully up will be consider
ed as exceeding IL months.
Sheep having their third pair of per-
manent incisors cut will be considered

THE IDEAL MUTTON SHEEP.
Its Production Depends Altogether on
Judicious Selections of Rams
and Lambs.

The sheepman who expects to raise
good mutton sheep-the thick-fleshed,
broad-backed kind-must have the
right kind of ram, for in sheep, as
in all other kinds of domestic animals.
like produces like, says Successful
Farming.
To produce lambs that have thick
flesh and broad backs, a ram with
those qualities must be selected. The
get of the ram will partake of the form
and qualities of the sire more than
any other animal. will after it's sire.
If the ram has round and smooth
form, with back that is we'll covered
with flesh when he is thin, it is an in
dication of good form, and his lambs
will inherit that good form, will breed
we'll and be thick fleshed.
In selecting a ram, the one that
shows a sharp backbone as soon as he
begins to get thin should be avoided.
for his lambs will be poor feeders and
will not show that broad back so nee
essary in good selling sheep-sheep
that all the buyers will want and will
bid against each other and will run
the price to the highest point in order
to secure them.
In selecting lambs for feeding it
must be remembered that lambs that
are born with good backs, thick
fieshed, will retain that form to the
end, and that such lambs will be a
delight to the eye when fat and will
make the best kind of mutton. The
profits of the feeder will depend very
much upon the kind of lambs and
sheep which he selects for feeding, for
there are scrub feeders among sheep
as we'll as among cattle The sheep
breeder can afford to raise ONLY the
good kind, and whatever breed he Sc.
lects-whether for ,utton or wool or
for both-he should have the best and
raise the best of the breed that he
selects.

THE QUIET LIFE is BEST.
Those Who Follow Literature as a
Profession Must Devote Them
selves to Their Art.

In Harper's Magazine Mr.. Alden dis
cusses the question as to whether a
literary man can attain the highest re-
suits unless he give himself entirely to
his art:
Literature, as profession, whether
a bread-winning industry or a chosen
avocation, very usefully and worthily
concerns itself with the activities of the
busy world; but literature as an art de-
mands for it's highest excellence the
quiet life," he says. This is only an
other way of saying that it demands de-
votion, and is jealous of any rival. What
ever the native genius of the writer, he
cannot attain supreme distinction in let
ters and at the same time conduct an i'm
portant business, perform the duties of
an exacting profession, or seriously un-
dertake diplomacy or craftsmanship.
He cannot habitually be diner-out or
the devotee of pleasure. All his con-
facts with the world at large must be
incidental to his master purpose.
Even his seclusion must be thus Incl
dental, not sought for its own sake, as it
is by the recluse. AS the ardent lover is
the better poet, so the social person is the
more genial writer and the full enjoy
ment of domestic happiness and friendly
companionships deepens feeling and i'm
parts home-like warmth to an author 8
apparel More than anyone else the
great writer gains by an impressionable
sensibility, by openness of heart and
mind; but more than anyone else he
loses by active participation in worldly
and social affairs beyond what is re-
quired of him by a normal conscience
anS a generous spirit in full sympathy
with his kind"

ILLUSTRATING HIS IDEA,

growled the irate husband. Why. it

They entered a comfOrtable-lOoki

"A white Alpine, seven and quarter
size, medium brim, black band"
The shopman bowed, and disappeared
amid a perfect citadel of hat-boxes

His wife trembled.
"Well, dearie," she replied. 'it seems

"Ten shillings," murmured the
abashed merchant
"Ten what?"
"Ten shillings"
"I'll give you eight shillings for it,
'No, sir; l would not take nine and

And he jammed the hat into the box

Corral for Feeding Sheen.

In the west sheep feeding corrals
are quite extensively used. When
feeding racks are used the sheep get
much Of the hay out of them and
trample it under foot The most EFF.
fective, convenient and economical ar.
rangement for feeding sheep has been
found in a corral constructed of sec.
tions of board fence so arranged that
hay can be scattered along one side
of the fence, while the sheep are on
the other side. The fence should be
boarded tight up to the height of the
Sleeps neck. A space should then be
left of proper size for the sleeps
head. No hay is pulled through the
fence by the sheep while feeding.

ing nothing in the way of shed or
shelter big enough to accommodate our
flock of sheep. Being tenant, l told
the landlord that if he would pay for
shed for our sheep. The illustration
gives the plan. To build shed of this
size, it takes 26 posts 10 feet long and
from to IL inches in diameter (should
be of some good, lasting timber) at
top end. Then we set three feet in the
ground which will leave them stick out
seven feet. Six poles 21 feet long are
to be put crossways of the main part;
three poles II feet long to be put on
the wing or addition. This makes the
cross poles eight feet apart, just right
to receive rails for the covering.
hewed the posts on one side and coun-
tersunk three lines of nail ties of 2x4
inch studding 16 feet long. This length
just reaches every other post and
makes the logs easy to haul to the mill.
1t will require about 400 feet of stud
ding for nail ties and managers, and
1,064 feet of lumber for siding. The
black dots in the diagram represent the
position of posts and the dotted lines
the managers, marked w. w. There is
door at each end eight feet wide, so
as to admit team and wagon or sled,
which makes it convenient for haul
ing out manure. This shed was built
in the northwest corner of the feed
yard, and makes good windbreak dur
ing the daytime while out in the yard.

Kilgore, O., April IA rather re.
markable case has just come to light in
this place. Mr.. John L. Riegle had been
suffering for some time with an aggra-
waited form of Kidney disease which had
caused him a great deal of discomfort.
He tried the treatment of several doc,
tors, but did not get any better. At last
he CHANGED to read an advertisement Of
Dodds Kidney Pills, remedy which has
been making many wonderful cures, and
he bought some at once and began to use
them. He says of the result
"Dodd's Kidney Pills do just what they
for the good they have done for me-
They cured me completely after the doc
tors had failed, and wish that every
poor sufferer could hear of them. for
know they will cure Kidney trouble
