The AGE SnffP
Notes Furnished by the
Minnesota Farmers
Institutes

Agea Sheep are Good. Fine wool
sheep live longer than medium or
coarse wool sheep. The former have
been used successfully as breeders from
} to years. and the latter from to 6
and more rarely years. This in.
dicates the extreme period OF useful.
ness IN the flock. The prime Of lite
probably extends from l to or 6
years. 6.
The Lamb. Has q short and small
head as opposed to the head Of the
mature sheep. It's teeth are smaller IN
every way. They are usually smooth
and white AZ opposed to a. more
corrugated darkened surface IN the old
sheep. Tho age Of sheep is told by
the four pair of inclsors which are
found only on the lower front jaw.
These are ali present by the time the
limb is six weeks old.
The Yearling. The central pair Of
small lncisor teeth are replaced with
large pair when the lamb is ten to
fourteen months old. They are almost
twice as wide and much longer than
those at either side. n"t
The Two Year Old. -9ets second
pair of large teeth. Two pairs Of
l8fX0 Io0GQ WotSu d CWO yo0I V4Os
The Three Year Old. -Gets third
pair of large teeth when about three
years old. 1t would then have three
pairs of large teeth and one pair Of
small or lamb teeth.
The Fonr Year Old. Has q full
mouth OF four pairs of large teeth.
The outer ones are never as large al
those in the center.
Five Years Old and Over.-Aftel
the sheep Is four years it is difficult
to tell the exact age. With age thu
teeth usually grow longer and
narrower. They begin at six years tt
resemble shoe pegs. Sheep that are
pasturing on short pasturage and gel
sand with their grass wear their teeth
short even in CID age. This is unusual
IN Minnesota. When sheep get long,
peg.llke or broken teeth, it is time to
dispose of them.

Christmas was very fittlngly OBJ
served by the citizens of this city last
Saturday. The weather was ideal, it
being temperate and accompanied by
a clear sky.
The first signs of celebration of the
day was at four o'clock in the morn.
ing, when high mass was sung, with
special music, at the st. Francis
Xavier church, which was followed by
similar services in the Sacred Heart
church, and st. Adelbert's church at
five O'Clock. and from then on through
the morning the churches of the city
pealed the joyous message. GLORY Be
TO God on High and Peace to Men of
Good Wlll"was certainly the prevalent
spirit of the day.
Practically every home In the city
had cause tor joy. from the well.to. do
to the poor. The Elks and other
messengers of the good old Saint
Nicholas distributed food stuff, which
included luxuries and articles Of
clothing and toys to the poor, which
brought good cheer to these families
It would be hard to find a happier
collection of children than the ones
who are inmates of st. Otto s
orphanage Christmas day. In the
afternoon the committee, which had
been busy gathering together the
things that go to make the Yule tide
merry, stormed the orphanage with a
number of baskets of confectionery
and goodies of every kind, and gave
each of the boys and girls some Of
these sweets That they were very
thankful is putting 1t mild, and a
look into their happy faces is the only
thing that could properly show the
debt Of gratitude which they felt.
The committee was welcomed by
one Of the little inmates, and several
songs were also given.
Yne sisters are very thankful to the
donors OF the Christmas cheer.

A Barrel of Corn.

A BARREL IS q very uncertain qualtlty dNu
vet we find it used as a measure very frequent
" in Louisiana. A barrel of coal IN Louisiana
is defined by statute at &c bushels OF say q
pounds each, or about 200 pounds. Another
and an older measurement for the so-called bar
rel of coal was four cubic feet, which, however,
on]v makes about 2.57 Winchester bushels dry
measure of 1858 cubic inches each. AS IS gener-
al|v known, our barrels Of fuel oil are rated a t42
gallons, upon just what authority we don't
know. A generation ago lard oil in kClnclnnattl
was rated at AZ gallons to the barrel. Maryland
rates a barrel at five bushels, without stating
the bushels, but we presume Winchester, 1858
inches, Flour is universally rated at LOG pounds
to the barrel and yet for corn the common
measure in Louisiana, so far as we know, IS
a -four barrel of the standard size, heads II
inches in diameter, filled level full. This meas
ure is only used for corn in the ear, or corn IN
the slip shuck, and in the good old days OF nat
boating some of the western dealers selling corn
in the ear along the coast of Louisiana made 1t
convenient to have test barrel of large size
and delivery barrels of slightly smaller size.
A recent test made by US OF a potato Darrel
of -four barrel size-that is II inch h~eads-flled
level full with slip shuck corn gave the follow
ing results: The total weight was Ill pounds.
The barrel weighed II pounds, leaving "a
pounds net of slip shuck corn. This corn was
then shucked and the corn in the ear weighed
So pounds and the shucks weighed eight pounds,
verifying the "a pounds. The Sc pounds OF
corn in the ear was then shelled and gave Il
pounds of shelled corn and Is pounds of cobs.
This experiment, which was apparently fair ex-
pertinent on a homogeneous pile of corn OF more
than a thousand barrels, gave the result of Il
pounds, or slightly over a bushel and a quarter
of shelled corn from the standard II inch flour
barrel size of barrel of corn in the slip shuck.
This, as every corn grower knows, will al
WAYS be rather an uncertain measurement
for corn, because just as good wheat will vary
in weight from 50 to ga pounds per bushel dry
measure of 2l50 cubic inches, 50 one barrel OF
corn may weigh more than another. In ou1
experience we have had corn shelled ou1
from a barrel of the flour barrel size herein
above spoken of, and only got 30 pounds O.
shelled corn. That, however, was very poo
corn, nubbins, with heavy shucks. 1t is a wid'
range between 80 pounds and Il, but the stand
ard ought to be a bushel and a quarter per barre
for flour barrel size of good corn in Louisiana
