but strange TO say, the average far

AGE OF HORSES.

The age Of a horse is most easily
determined by the cups in the teeth.
At four years. the horse has his per-
manent front teeth At five. there are
deep black cavities in the centers OF
all lower nippers. AT six. these cavi-
ties disappear in the two center lower
nippers. Two more lose their cavities
for each year to the eighth. and then
the two center upper nippers lose
their cavities and each year two
more, until at the age Of 10 the teeth
are all smooth or retain only a small
black speck After the age Of ten the
length of the teeth and tushes must
be judged-even then the age can be
determined only approximately.

SCIENTIFIC FARMIN

A new era in farming is being
ushered in.
Up to this time it has been the
policy of the American farmer to pr.-
duce as much as possible on as much
land as he could work. He has been
an extensive farmer, and has been re-
markably successful in his aim.
But now, according to the secretary
of agriculture, the time has come
when the farmer must produce as
much as possible from an acre. The
age of intensive farming has arrived

pursuing other divergent paths strewn
with greenbacks.
Not SO with the aging Honus, who
for eighteen years has been the
greater individual earning power of
the National league. His rod and
gun, the wild woods, streams, and
country roads brought too much joy
to his simple, boyish nature for him
to engage in any work on the side IN
the off season.
CorduroyS, jeans, and homespun
sufficed for Honus, and he could al
ways wear his blue flannel shirt and
wash polka dot tie around the fash
ionable hotels with the ease and
grace OF dolled up millionaire. With
lots of money and thorough willing
ness to spend 1t, the great exponent
of the simple life could order ham
and eggs three times a day at the
Waldorf Astoria with all the poise
and sang froid of any gentleman
There never has been a false move
or frill to the Germans makeup, and
he is the same carefree boy in gor
geous environment as he is when
alone in the woods with his dogs.

showing on those Teutonic temples
some years ago are whitening. As
a shortstop he probably is through,
but he is still fast, tricky, and good
enough to be depended upon to fill
the Pirate first base job in lis.
Those oft cartooned curved limbs
have been hacked to pieces by flying
steel in the last eighteen years, but
Honus himself thinks they are sound
enough to carry him through 100 or
more games a year until about 1920.
