| ball, the concert to commence at 8
o'clock and the program will include

The Knights of Columbus of Vermont
are taking lively interest in the un-
yelling of the memorial to Columbus
the discoverer of America, which takes
place in Washington June s, and State
Deputy P. E. McAuliffe of Burlington
expects to see 200 Knights from the Yer
mont jurisdiction in the national CAPT
tai on that date. Upwards of $4,000 men
are assured for the parade. The Knights
of Columbus are naturally taking con-
spicuous part in the preparation of this
important event. Edward L. Hearn, the
commissioner, was for many years the
supreme knight of the order. Vermont
has been given prominent part in the
days events by the appointment of Mr..
McAuliffe as member of the executive
committee of arrangements for the I'M
yelling. The exercises will close with a
great public banquet in the Convention
hall. State Deputy McAuliffe favors
Vermont Knights gathering at central
railroad point like Bellows Falls and
proceeding to Washington in one party.
Some action in regards the Washington
trip will probably be taken at the state
convention in Montpelier

WASTEFUL IRRIGATION

! The cause of seeped or oversatur.
ated land is the waste from irrigation
and leakage from canals and laterals.
/ The skillful irrigator may insist that
| If no more water Is applied
needed for growing and maturing the
crops, and II the canals are so con-
J tructed that no substantial amount
of water escapes into the earth, no
land will become too wet for farm
ing purposes. 1t is true that in many
instances irrigators have been unduly
prodigal in the use of water, particu.
larry when the land is first subdued
and watered. The art of economical
irrigation is usually learned only
when scarcity of water compels its
less lavish use.
In any event, under present meth
DDS some waste of water will occur
under the best of management, max
ing drainage in many places essential
to profitable farming. Water which
produces permanent saturation rises
s...otm the bottom OF the saturated soil
toward the surface. waste from ir.
risation first passes downward until
hard stratum Of earth 10 reached
This may be only few feet, in which
case the additions which accrue from
the irrigation of a few years will
bring the permanent ground water
level to within two or three feet of
the surface, at which time injury to
farm crops will ensue. 1t is not the
downward movement Of water alone
which occasions Doggy or wet areas,
but the lateral movement Of ground
water down a slope until fat tract
or surface depression checks the flow
and causes an accumulation Of water
which is made known by its appear
ance, but not until the lower parts of
the soil have been filled.
Such depressions or level areas re-
CtlNt tut "ootS
proceeding from adjoining lands
which occupy higher level. 1t will
be seen that the saturated condition
of the land which shows injury is not
due to the water which is applied di.
rectly to irrigate it, but to the sur
plus which percolates from the high
er lands sometimes through consider
able distances, until 1t reaches the
lower fiat or depression. and Colorado
now has a law providing for the or
ganization of drainage dist IT'S. 80
which the expense of putting in the
drains is borne by the entire acreage.
Drainage has been carried on in the
west to such an extent that certain
methods are now practiced with rea-
sonable assurance of success. The
development along this line which has
taken place during the last five years
is most encouraging to holders of
seeped land.-Utah Farmer.

are not complete, but in the course
Of few months the inner edge grad
ually grows down, and begins to weas
forming a complete cup, and when
the horse is FIVE years old, the whole
of the incisors are in full wear, and
indicate the extent to which they
have been worn proportionate to the
period since they came through the
gums, whereas the corner ones, hav-
ing just protruded, are shallow; that
is, the inner edge of the tooth has
not grown up, which gives the tooth
a shallow appearance. Before the
animal reaches the age Of six, the in
ner edge Of the corner incisors has
grown and forms complete cup.
At six years, the central incisors
lose their cup or mark; at seven,
this occurs with the middle ones; and
at eight, all the cavities or cups are
worn out, and the plate or wearing
surface of the teeth Is smooth, and
there are only slight, dark marks in
the corner incisors. Beyond this age
1t is difficult to tell the exact age of
the horse by its teeth. AS the ami
NAL grows older the incisor teeth pro
trude straighter from the jaw and
their wearing surfaes ssda!ses a tri-
angular forii. In the horse, the
tushes appear through the gums be-
tween three and four years OF age,
but as they vary verv -'rch in size
and shape, they do not indicate any
thing as regards the age of the horse.
Mares, as a rule, have no tushes.
II one wants to become an expert
in telling the age of a horse, it will
be necessary to examine the teeth OF
colts and horses, whose ages one
knows, and compare the teeth with
the description given in this article,
and by doing so a number of times
the eye will become accustomed to
the shape and appearance of the
teeth at the different ages.-Utah

HOW TO TELL THE
AGE OF A HORSE

1t is from birth to the age of eight
years that, from the conditions of the
dark cavities called marks" in the
table of the incisors or front teeth,
we can tell the age of horse. The
lower incisors are the ones to be ex-
amined, as the cavities are better
marked than the cavities in the upper
incisors.
At birth the foal has two central
incisor teeth above, and two below;
IL not through the gums at birth they
will make their appearance during the
first month. There are also three
temporary molar teeth on each side
of both upper and lower jaw. At six
weeks old, one incisor on each side
of the two central appears, and then
time is allowed for the jaws to grow,
and at nine months old, the corner
incisors protrude, and gradually grow
until the foal is one year old, then 1t
has a full mouth of temporary incis-
or teeth. Little can be seen beyond
the wearing down Of the temporary
incisors and the protrusion through
the gums of the fourth molar teeth,
one on each aide of the upper and
lower j9w. These teeth are perma-
lent.
At from one year and nine months
to two years old, the worn asrect of
the incisors indicates the approaching
displacement Of the central incisors,
and the fifth molar protrudes through
the gums. At about two years and
nine months, the temporary central
incisors drop out and are replaced by
the permanent ones, which are readi-
ly distinguished by their size and
yellowish color of the enamel, and
are more or less grooved, while tho
temporary teeth are pearly white.
When the colt Is about four years old,
the middle incisors drop out and are
replaced by permanent ones. At this
age, the sixth molar tooth advances
through the gums, and by this time
the three temporary molar teeth, no
ticed at birth, have given way TO per.
manent ones.
At about FIVE year old the coruo
incisors are replaced by permanent
ones and at this age the horse has
full mouth Of teeth. It will be no.
ticed that the outer edge of the per-
manent incisors is little longer than
the inner and the cavities or cups

PLATINUM REALLY AN ALLOY
Ito Use by jewelers. and Dentists Is
What Has Made II Costly
Metal.

The mineral called platinum Is
really a natural alloy Of iridium. rho
dinum, palladium and often osmium,
with varying amounts of iron, copper
and gold. 1t is usually found as
small nuggets, scales and rounded or
irregular grains. It's color is steel
gray. The specific gravity Of the
crude platinum varies from IA to 10.
The output of platinum in the United
states is practically limited to Cali
fornia and Oregon.
Owing to Its high melting point and
great resistance to acids, platinum is
extensively used for laboratory uten-
sils. Platinum salts are employed in
chemical analyses. In the manufac-
ture of sulphuric acid the metal has
been used in making large concentra-
tion kettles, but of late gold has been
substituted for it. In photography,
dentistry and electric installation
much platinum is used. OF late the
manufacture Of jewelry has con-
sumed large quantities Of 1t. 1t is ex-
tensively used for chains and for the
setting Of diamonds, the claim being
made, not only that 1t is more resist
ant than silver and harder than gold,
but that the stones are better Offset
by platinum and appear larger than In
any other kind Of setting.-From Ge-
illogical Survey Report.

ICES A UNIVERSAL DELIcAcY
People Of the South of Italy Remark
able for Their Fondness for This
Simple Refreshment

If you wish to realize what devotion
to ices means you should go to Paler-
mo. All over the south of Italy Ices
are eaten to an extent of which we do
not dream, but in Sicily and Palermo
IN particular the custom has attained
amazing proportions. Ices are eaten
by people Of all ranks and ages from
morning to night. Where true Briton
would demand a glass of beer the
Palermian asks for an Ice. Morning
noon and night the consumption OF
Ice goes on. They are In wonderful
variety and cheap.
The stranger In that beautiful coun-
try finds the cafes invaded between 4
and o'clock by Ice eaters. He sees
officers and men Of the army, mer-
chants and work people, the rich and
the poor of both sexes consuming ices
with gusto. No one evades this pleas
ant duty. Lines OF carriages draw up
at the side of the pavement before the
cafes, the occupants, the coachman
and the footman all with their favor
ite delicacy. At first the stranger
wonders, then he falls victim.-Lon-

SPELLING is HARD
Noted Scholar Makes Strong Plea
for Phonetic System-ChIld
Would Save Much Time.

A strong plea in favor of phonetic
spelling was made to the meeting OF
the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science at Dundee the
other day by Sir James Donaldson,
LII. D., vice-chancellor and principal
of the University Of st. Andrews and
principal Of the United College Of st.
Salvador and st. Leonard, says Lon
don cable dispatch to the New York
Sun. Sir James told the association
that spelling is thing of no conse-
quence and everybody ought to be
allowed to spell as he likes, just as
Shakespeare and our ancestors did.
Sir James said that this plan would
lead to phonetic spelling. Our present
system Of spelling, he told the sci
entists, II 1t can be called a system,
Is unique In its absurdity. The
French, German and Dutch spell
phonetically, but the English are ter
ribly behind them.
II the English spelling were pho
netic, said Sir James, 1t would be-
easy for the whole population Of
China to learn the English language.
but no foreigners now had a chance
to learn easily. The English speak
ing child taught to spell phonetically,
he said, saved at least year in the
task Of acquiring an education.
Sir James concluded his phonetic
plea by scoring compositors in gen.
eral. The present method of making
up words, he charged, was the doing
Of compositors. "We are slaves of
the printers" he asserted, "and II
we do not spell according to their
ways of thinking they change us over
and over again. And there is no re-
Dress"
Sir James is an authority on the
matter of spelling, being the author
Of "The Modern Greek Grammar" as
well as many works on religious sub
1ects.
