MAKEUP OF HORSES TEETH
What They Consist of and How to
Tell an Early Foai from
Late One.

The horsess teeth consist of the fol-
lowing: Twelve incisors, front teeth,
six in each jaw; four tusks or canine
teeth, two in each jaw, "a molars, ~
in each jaw, 6 on each side,
says the Business Farmer.
AS a rule, at birth a foal has two
central incisors. If not, they wilE ap-
pear in day or two. FROM IA u 81
days, the two middle teeth, viz. ~ the
two next on each side of the incis-
ors, develop, and in about two months
after appearance they become level.
The third teeth on outside of the in
ciSOrs or corner teeth are level with
the others at about eight months. Lit
tie. change take place in the teeth for
some months. At one year the cups
have left the center teeth.
These cups are the hollows in the
crowns of the teeth. The cups at IS
months leave the middle incisors and
at two years the same takes place
on the outside incisors, SO that the
crowns Of the lower incisors are fiat
at that age. This makes it possible
to tell an early foal from a late one
at the foaling period by the develop
ing of the cups, if any, in the corner
of the teeth. In developing the colt
teeth the upper and lower usually
appear at the same time.
The permanent teeth begin to dis
place the colts teeth soon after the
animal reaches two years. This dis
placement is brought about by the
actual absorption of the fangs of the
permanent teeth. 1t begins with the
center incisors, which will show a
slight contraction. discoloring and a
separation.

place for wethers. When prices for
mutton and wool are high wethers will
more than pay their way on almost
any range, but the profit they yield
compared to that from breeding ewes
is much less, and hence wethers are
being discarded by the more progress
sive sheepmen.
However, as mutton product weth.
ers are desired in the hotels, restau-
rants, dining cars and steamships
where the heavier cuts may be used
to advantage.
Prime wethers must be highly de-
veloped IN form, quality and condition
and weigh from 95 to 125 pounds; how
ever. wethers weighing 140 pounds and
even more, frequently grade as prime if
all other conditions are right. This
class of mutton is used for export, al
though there is some demand for it in
larger cities of this country.

PAINT BEAUTY.

Assured of durability, the next
thought in painting is beauty - the
complete aim being durable beauty,

National Lead Company here again
offer you the cooperation of their
paint experts-this time in the line
of color schemes, artistic, harmonious
and appropriate. You have only to
write National Lead Company, 1902

"Houseowners' Painting Outfit No.
49," and you will promptly receive
what is really complete guide to
painting, including a book of color
schemes for either exterior or interior
painting Gas you may request, a
book of specifications. and also an in
strument for detecting adulteration
in paint materials. This outfit is sent
free, and, to say the least, is well
worth writing for.

and slide this meconium out readily.
If it is left in the system gases arise
from 1t, and it is absorbed into the
system, causing the pig discomfort
and sickness. If the dam for any rea-
son dies, very rich milk must be sup
piled to remove this meconium.

be. Therefore the little pig is not
fitted to cope with large amounts Of
crude fiber. 1t needs bulky but fine
feeds. Coarse cellulose, such as is
found in oats, barley and things Of
that sort, it is almost impossible for
a small pig with its rather feeble mus
cular activity to handle. The mucous
Things of the intestines and stomach
are tender and delicate. They become
irritated very easily by coarse, harsh
substances. Giving them rough, graf
ing feeds would produce about the
same sensation in their intestines that
getting a cinder into the eye does upon
the membrane of the eyelid.
The cells of the digestive tract
through which the nutrients pass out
into the system are small. The alb
sorption powers of the pig are there
fore weak. He cannot handle as
many nutrients nor as easily as can
the large celled mature animal. To
give him more than he can absorb,
is not alone waste of feed, but also
a waste of his energy. The nutrients
that he digests and does not absorb
simply pass out with the feces. They
do him no good at all, but he has
nevertheless had the work of digest
ing them.

Permanent Teeth.

After the fangs have been alb

permanent teeth appear. When this is
the case the colt is rising three. At
three years the two permanent CEN

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake Of other suffer-

trouble public so you may publish
this letter" Mas. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's Ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and 1t Is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia f.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth noun
tains of gold to suffering women.
