second pair they are about two-thiros
gone.
Seven ,ears-The cups from the
second pair are now gone. There -
. notch in the upper corner tooth
where it overlsps the lower one.
Eight yexrs.-The cups having oil
worn out OF the lower nippers, We
now look 1t the upper jaw. Although
cups remain in the center pair, they
are not deep.
Nine years. The cups in the center
pair Of nippers on the upper jaw have
disappeared. They are still present
In the other two pairs, being fairly
deep in the corner ones.
Ten years.-The cups are worn out
Of the second pair on the upper jaw,
although they are still present In the
corner pair.
Older horses. II years all OF the
cups are usually worn out OF the in
cisors and it becomes necessary to
use some other indication. Estims'
ton Of age may now be based upon
the angle at which the teeth meet
their change in size and shape. Az
the horse gets older, the teeth meet
more and more at an acute angle;
that is, the jaws become more oblique
AZ the teeth wear down, the shape oi
the worn ends changes from oval te
more nearly round and, finally, In az
aged horse, to nearly triangular
form. Sometimes cups are cut o,
burned in the teeth of old horses tc
make their mouths resemble those o.
younger animals. This practice
known as "Bishoping," may be de-
tected if the shape of the tooth art
the absence of the ring OF enamel
which surrounds the natural cup are
noted. After q horse is IL years ole
it's condition is more importan
than it's age In determining values.

Judging Horses Age.

Until q horse is over 10 years old the
teeth furnish an indication Of age
which is fairly accurate. In eetimat.
ing the sgs OF horse, only the three
pairs Of front teeth or nippers on
each jaw are considered. Horses.
like human beings have two sets Of
teeth; the first set, known a. milk
teeth, being replaced by permanent
teeth. New teeth have deep cups, or
indeutstions% at their centers. AZ
the teeth wear down these cups dis
appear.
A colt does not usually get ito first
pair Of nipp ers until 1t 10 . few days
old, but has all three psirs by the
time It is 8 to 10 months old. Until .
colt 10 8 years old, however, Its general
appearance is relied upon largely to
indicate Its age. Following 10 q
description OF the yearly changes
which ordinarily occur In the teeth
Of horse.
One year.--The center pair Of milk
incisors, known as the pinchers, and
the pair next to them, known % the
intermediate, are we'll through the
gums and In contact, but the corner
pairs do not yet meet on . level
Two yesrs.--The p!nchers and the In
termedistes indicate that they are be-
ing crowded by the permanent teeth,
40 they are pushed free from the gums
at the base. BY the time the colt ID
lsls years old the middle plnchers
should be through. The permanent
| teeth are much larger than the tom
porsry ones.
Three years. The middle pInchers
are large enough for use. Their deep
cups show plainly. The milk inter-
| medistss are about to be shed.

A Revolutionary Decision.

(The Cincinnati Times-Star.
To the layman the decision Of the
United States Supreme court, uphold
ing the Webb. Kenyon law, seems
revolutionary. The "original pack
age" and other principles enunciated
in decisions through many years, ap-
parently are thrown into the discard
and hereafter States will be permitted
to erect walls against interstate COM
merce, 30 far as the liquor trafiic Is
concerned. State sovereignty In the
matter Of prohibition has been recog'
nized by our highest legal tribunal.
Congress has in effect been permitted
to give back to the States q power
supposed to have been delegated BY
the constitution to the central govern
ment and therefore subject to modifi.
cation only through constitutional
amendment.
There was sQmething to be said for
the Webb. IN law, If the legal OBJ
jections w ~ Aived. States would
vote for pro., ion only to find that
consumers Of ;. .cohol could receive az
much as they wished II II but came
through channels Of interstate com.
merce. Prohibition thus led to ex-
cesses greater than in q period OF
regulation, because the traffic was In
the stronger, and therefore the more
portable, liquors. The armor Of Fed.
erat sanction was too much for the
police power OF the State. The laws
sgainst the liquor traffic became
broken lance.
The effect Of the Webb. Kenyon Law

Also, one Of tho arguments for nation

Vie:oD In Defeat.

Publicity Department. Deciocrau; h'a'e
Comm.itec.l
The defeat Of John +. Gordon Tor
reelection but emphasizes the In
justice that may be wrought an once
holder when tho voters OF his own
party turn willing ear to the abuse
heaped upon him by designing oppo'
nents. Accused of nepotism; ofloot'ng
the school fund, and Of about every
other crime on the calendar; especial
target, always, for the Republican
heavy artillery, 1t is not strange that
Gordon lost in the battle of ballots.
Now, after less than q weeks tenure
in Office, his successful Republican
opponent stands indicted in his own
home county, by grand jury com.
posed OF men who should know him
best, on Ave separate counts for mis-
use OF public funds and OF making
false oath.
What a commentary upon the un-
" dom OF turning from the tried and
true of ones own party to the politi-
Cal enemy for advice and assistance.
BY wise provision OF the trainers
OF our State Constitution there must
be kept in the Auditors office set
of books in which is entered the tlnan.
cial transactions of the department;
in the Treasurer's office similar set
of books ia kept and each day st close
of business hours, these two sets OF
books must balance.
The Auditor can expend no money
without the knowledge OF the
Treasurer, nor can the Treasurer pay
out funds without the fact being
known to the Auditor.
The two departments are SO inter
working as to be absolutely check
one upon the other.
Furthermore, no money Is evel
kept in the Auditors office, and mont
Is ever paid out from that department
hence, John p. Gordon had just as
much chance to loot the school funt
as he would have to loot the vaults O
the Bank of England.
The result of the hue and cry raiset
by the Republicans during the recen
campaign has been to place in grea
office, man who stands accused OF
crime, which, ii proven, may lant
him in the penitentery, and to maxi
Of Mr.. Gorpon q man greater in de
feat than is his opponent in victory.
Let this be timely warning t.
Democrats to seek light in the iutur
within their own council chamber
and avoid the false guidance ofiere'
by their own opponents.
The State of Missouri owes it
greatness to-day to the wise, honest
and strictly business-like admins
tration Of its affairs by Democrats
it is unwise even 10 contemplate
change.

Why Flour is High.

Crop statisticians of the Depart.
men, Of Agriculture at Washington
say that the crop of wheat this year
is 6 bushels compared to 10 bushels
last year. The crop Of 1914 was more
than q billion bushels, followed by
1915 with another billion bushels;
1916, the crop as near as can be esti-
mated was 607 100000 bushels, or
400, ,O00, 600 bushels less than .: pre-
vious year. For the year ena.: y June,
1916, there was exported 173,o0o,O 900
bushels, -four not included, but at this
writing no figures are at hand to show
quantity shipped out Of the country.
The United States, tor seed and con-
sumption, needs over 100000, 600
bushels annually. Acreage devoted
to wheat growing varies between AS
600, 900 and &c. 900 900. To barrel OF
-four weighing 1856 pounds there is
AZ bushels OF wheat, or 27o pounds
from this there is by.prodnct OF "a
pounds, mostly bran.
The principal wheat producing
countries shown by the figures for
the year 1915 are: The United States
with a crop Of l.oll 500 900 bushels;
the Russian Empire, except Poland
with crop Of 761 $50, 900 bushels;
British India crop was 376,73l ,o0O
bushels; Austria. Hungary, with 2os,
600 900 bushels; Italy with 17o,5oO, ,oo0
bushels; Germany with i1,o00,00(
bushels and Spain with 139,o00,o0
