Teeth Of a Y ear.old Horse.

In the domestic animals the teeth
change in shape, appearance and char.
acter as age advances and these
changes being fairly regular furnish a
means of determining age. The horse,
like other animals, has two successive
dentitions. The first are called the
temporary or milk teeth, because they
are soon shed, and give place to others
that are stronger and more solid. It is
from the front or incisor teeth that
age is judged. At one year old the

Care Of Farm Machinery. - The
farmers of this country buy annually
over 800, 100000 worth of farm ma
chinery. There is perhaps no other
source of loss so great to them as that
produced by the way they care for
their machinery. According to state
ments made by different manufacture
ers, the farmer would not have to buy
over one-half of this amount of ma
chinery, providing he took the proper
care of it. AS a general rule, the
prosperity of farmer may be estimat-
ed by the way he cares for his ma
chinery. Poor care indicates shiftless-
ness, waste, lack of energy, and the
buying of more implements in a short
time. Good care, on the other hand,
indicates prosperity, development,
bank deposits, and long-lived machin-

The Lady of
the Novel
By ELIZABETH A. SEARS

(Copyright.)

(Copyright.)
The lady Of the twentieth century
novel, fashionably correct in every de-.
tail, whizzed gaily down the page in
her automobile. There were three
clubs, a charity board, two receptions
and tea in the first chapter, and it
needed haste as well as art to be seen
at them all.
Hurriedly turning the corner on two
wheels, she met a knight Of the six
teenth century in full armor.
II really think must be In the
wrong book" murmured the lady dubi-
ously.
The knight paused and gazed at her
tnquiringly.
"Are you female in distress?" he
asked hopefully.
"The term female is out Of date. 81
she answered promptly, viewing him
with some curiosity.
"Not in this book. You ought not
to be here If you won't be rescued
from distress"
"a woman of the twentieth century
novel is fully capable Of extricating
herself from any difficulty" said the
lady haughtily.
Then you willingly deprive US Of
our chief occupation" complained the
knight, with bitter stare.
''Is there a tournament in this
book?" pursued the lady, thoughtfully
nibbling chocolate.
Certainly" replied the knight in
amazement.

There are dangers" said the
knight doubtfully.
For instance?" remarked the lady
with an Indifferent air.
Everything" limited the knight,
gloomily.
"How lovely!" said the lady. 1T
must be very interesting"
"This is very lonely wood" quiv.

somely. II suppose I'll have to ride
in 'front.'
II guess not" demonstrated the
lady. you'll be in my way If you
do"
I'm sure you are very unreasona
BILE. There may be robbers on this
page"
"How thrilling!" said the lady, look
ing about her expectantly.
what did I tell you?" whispered
the knight In a worried voice, as q
robber in the conventional brigand
costume stepped abruptly from behind
tree.
Here's where you stand and de

rect hollow tone.

Eggs for Culinary Use.-Eggs for
culinary use should be kept infertile,
as they will keep longer than eggs
that are fertile. No male is needed
in flock engaged in the production
of eggs for any use except Matching.
For the farm flock this is advice of
Importance, as it will make it easier
to keep just a breeding pen consisting
of a first-class male and a number of
the best females. Eggs for culinary
purposes should be kept in cool,
dark place till ready to send to mar
ket. Clean nests are necessary for
the production of such eggs because
an egg once dirty: can never be made
clean, as most of our readers know
by experience.

What do you think we'd better do?"

"That's not fair" said the lady. look
ing at him with a reproachful face.
"That expression was never used in
your time"
you're so particular" said the
knight testify. "It's very hard always
to get the right expression. Books

"That dragon Is asleep!" cried the
lady, with disappointed air. "Are
they hard to waken?"
Every. You watch me-"
"But where are you going?" said
the lady, looking around as the knight
clumsily wheeled his charger and went
back.

knight, with superior air. "And then
If he wakes up can keep right on.
You'd better climb tree.
Il can see all right from here" said
the lady, stopping her auto. Don't
be so poky."
"For st. George and the Dragon!"
shouted the knight in a fierce voice.
"You don't seem to realize the dan
ger. That's no stage dragon. It's
the real thing"
"But it ought to roar and spit flames
and you ought to kill it after a mighty
battle" protested the lady. "You
really are not doing your part as you
should"
ooh, come on, for heavens sake!"
said the knight frantically. 1--WE never
will reach that tournament If we don't
hurry. Besides, that dragon may
wake up any. time"
"You shouldn't say, For heavens
sake!'" said the lady critically. "You
should say 'By'r lady, or 'Peradven.

"True," said the lady, gazing at him
thoughtfully. "Then send for it."
"Send for what?" said the king, with
bewildered air.
"Why, the ice water!"
"But this is summer" said the king
politely, "and we never drink water"
"No ice?" returned the lady, with
indignation.
IF it was winter, now" said the
king hopefully. 1--WE always have ice

"What's the use of being king II
you can't have few privileges?" she
demanded wrathfully.
II often say So" murmured the king
regretfully.
"The tournament, you know" re-
minded the knight hastily. "The PEG.

don't contradict her." he whispered
anxiously to the king. There's no
telling what she might do. She's
writing a book"
"Who's ahead?" asked the king as
the tournament ended and the knights
dashed away. "They crowded so I
couldn't see."
"Tve kept the score" said the lady.
'I'll tell you in a minute"
LET me see," said the king eagerly.
"Where are my glasses, now?" and he
fumbled helplessly in his pockets.
"Why, you can't do that" remon-

"You brought her." protested the
king. "She has upset me dreadfully."
"She came" returned the knight,
with dignity. 'There is some differ
