Tell Sleeps Age by Teeth.

A lamb has eight small first teeth
on the lower jaw. When the animal
reaches the age of about one year, the
middle pair are replaced BY two per-
manent teeth; at the age of about two
the teeth on either side of these per
manent teeth are also replaced with a
permanent pair; at the age of three
the next tooth on either side gives way
TO permanent tooth and at the age
of four the last or back teeth are re-
placed in like manner. Briefly then,
says 7. C. Paterson in Farm and Home,
sheep with one pair of permanent
teeth is a yearling; sheep with two
pairs is two-year-old; with three
pairs, three year-old; and with four
pairs, four-year-old After a sheep
is four years old one cannot tell by
the teeth about the age However, one
who is purchasing a sheep should see
to it that it has not lost any teeth or
that the teeth have not become long
and shoe-peggy in appearance.

Life of Judge Shafter.

Among books presented to the Moore
Tree library recently is one of pecu.
mar local interest. Mrs. Emma Shat.
ter-Howard of San Francisco has
sent 1.-The life, letters and diarv of
ouuge oscar Lowell Shaftcr, who was
raised i'll Windham county. He was a
native of Athens and was reared in
loWnshend, his father being Judge
"llllam Shafter, who was man OF
note IN the county and brought up a
notable family, two sons, Judge Oscar
and Judge James Shafter having n ma.
tlonal reputation. First they were stu.
dious lawyers at their own county bar
There are those living here who re.
member Judge Oscar l.. Shafter as n
rising young attorney who boarded
with his sister, the wife of DR.. Ed.
minister, and carried his law books
through the streets in green bag
slung over his shoulder. Portraits of
these brothers adorn the walls of the
county court room. The first mention.
ed Shafter settled in Wilmington and
afterwards went to California i'm the
Dos, where a celebrated law business
was established by the brother. Both
became noted judges of the supreme
court of California. Incidentally much
of interest in the early history of that
great Pacific state is brought out III
the letters and diary of Judge Shat
ter. His views of the political parties
and other national struggles for power
and leadership were keen and pro-
phetic. He had advanced views on i'm
portant questions.
He urged upon his children with all
the solemnity of last injunction that
they never come short in redeeming
the obligation owed to their mother. to
whom he paid glowing tribute. He
wished his daughters to be trained to
care for their own material interests
that through vital and intelligent ac.
tivities they might grow into effec.
tive citizenship.
Mrs. Emma Shafter- Howard. the
compiler of this book of large size.
has presented fine tribute to her
fathers memory. As the title saws.
1t Is daughters tribute to a faith
er's life and character. Mrs. How
ard manages large estate in Califol-
mia. 1t used to be said of the Shat.
ter brothers that they owned 60 miles
OF sea coast, some of which extended
far back into the interior. Such
power, talent and opportunities were
simply results of tremendous ener-
gN.

When Gasoline Runs Low.

In Farm and Fireside is an ingenious
suggestion for autoists whose gasoline
has run so low that they have trouble
in hill slimbing:
''One is sometimes caught out with
low supply of gasoline through hGv-
ing to make long detours to avoid bad
roads or for other causes. The sup.
ply can be made to stretch over this
emergency by adding denatured alcohol
or kerosene. Occasionally there IS suf-
fcient gasoline for the ordinary level
road, but not enough for ali unexpected
hill.
"In this case the principle of pres
sure feed can be applied. Screw the CAP
down tight on the gasoline tank and
then sharpen match to fit the vcnti
lating hole in the cap. Blow into this
hole as hard as possible and immedi-
ately plug with sharpened match.
Usually this will enable the driver TO
make the hill without furthur trouble.
But if not, he can turn the ear around
and back uphill
