DAIRY FACTS AGE OF CATTLE DETERMINED Each Year Leaves Its Mark on Grind? ere of Animal, Gradually Wear ing to Stubs. The age of cattle can be approximat ed closely by the appearance, develop ment and subsequent wear of their second incisor teeth, according to Farmers' Bulletin 1066 just issued by the United States department of agri culture. Cattle have eight Incisor teeth, all In the lower jaw. In the calf at birth two or more of the temporary or first incisor teeth are present. With the first month the entire eight incisors have appeared. Each of the six stages In the development of the teeth Is shown in the bulletin by illustrations which will be very helpful to the per son desirous of becoming proficient In judging the age of cattle. As the animal approaches two years of age the center pair of temporary in (1) Internal Face of Incisors of Calf. (2) At Two Years. (3) At Three Years. (4) At Four Years. (5) At Five Years. (6) At Twelve Years. cisor teeth or pinchers are replaced by the permanent pinchers, which at two years attain full development At from two and one-half to three years the permanent, first Intermedi ates are cut and are usually fully de Teloped at three years. At three and one-half years the sec ond intermediates or laterals are cut. They are on a level with the first inter mediates and begin to wear at four years. At four and one-half to five years the corner teeth are replaced, the ani mal at five years having the full com plement of Incisors with the corners fully developed. At five to six years there" is a level ing of the permanent pinchers, the pinchers usually being leveled at six and both pairs of intermediates par tially leveled and the corner incisors showing wear. From seven to eight the pinchers are noticeably worn ; from eight' to nine the middle pairs,; and by ten years the corner teeth. After six years the arch gradually loses its rounded contour and becomes nearly straight by the twelfth year. In the meantime the teeth have be come triangular in shape, distinctly separated, and show the progressive wearing to stubs.

It seemed'to Miss Mary Burton that she tad reached the very height of earthly felicity when she became the sole owner of a home of her own. For fifteen years she had taught school, carefully saved her money and now at thirty-five with a paid up annuity pol icy bringing her forty dollars a month she had settled down amid beauty and comfort The house was very pleasantly ar ranged and there was a two-acre gar den. This latter had been neglected and Miss Burton had great ideas of improving it as she accumulated the money to do so. An orphan niece, My ra Davis,, had come to live with her, bringing'the furnishings of two rooms, inherited from her mother. The ar rangement was that Myra should as sist about tte house, and if they could get. a little ,fancy work to do they would join In this feature of increas ing their income. "The first thing we must do is to get that old chicken yard in order," said Myra. "It will take about fifty yards of poultry netting to patch up the old i fence and a new gate must be made I for it. There's laying boxes to get for the chickens, too, and the Inside shed ought to be whitewashed. You'll leave all that to me, won't you, Aunty?" Miss Burton was fully agreeable to tbis arrangement. Her own hobby about the place was a cherry tree that occupied the center of the garden. "It . bore for the first time last year," a neighbors tell me," she said to Myra. "There was only a little fruit then, but this will be a good year for it. All my life I've longed to be able to put up fruit raised by my own hands." So Miss Burton sprayed the tree and watched the buds grow into little green globes and cleaned and polished some eld fruit jars and made great prepara tions for the harvesting of ter treas ures. Meantime Myra lived In a sort of elysium of delight. Her forte was mak ing things spick and span and keeping them so. She was trying to straighten, stretch and attach a roll of poultry wire to posts one afternoon when a young man of about twenty-two came along. He was rolling a lawn mower and had a small canvas bag, evidently containing tools. "Just let me save you time and trouble, young lady," he spoke briskly. "You've got too pretty fingers to scratch and mush up with such rough work. Using nails? Ot, that won't do ! Here's what you need for tacking and holding wire," and he took from his kit a box containing u-shaped brads. Myra liked his face and manner anybody would, for he was all smiles and good nature. He looked as If he would feel hurt if she declined his help, but she said, "We are doing most of the work around here, Aunty and myself. We haven't got much money." "Ot, that won't be work for me," de-. dared the young man. "I've got a lit tle leisure. Now then, you take this awl and hold the wire true while I nail. That's it. Famous! Just getting ready to make a farm of the place, eh? I'm picking .up a sort of tempo ary living staying here for a week or two. I know something about garden work and if you don't mind I'll drop around once in a while and give you some points." "Oh, If you would !" exclaimed Myra, and in her ingenuous way told of Miss Burton's agricultural ambitious. It led to her interested visitor telling her something about himself. His was a curious story. He gave her his name as Archie Lull, and related that he had come from another state where he had been In charge of a grain ele vator for a wealthy relative. One day a maudlin produce buyer had quar reled with his wife In the elevator office and had struck her. All the man hood of Lull resented the brutality. He had given the man the trouncing of his life. The latter was Influential and threatened to prosecute Lull to the .limit. "It was cowardly to run away," con fessed Lull, "but I was tired of the monotonous job anyway, so I've sort of made myself scarce." He was a tireless worker, well In formed, agreeable and accomodating and he made many new friends. He won the heartiest appreciation of Miss Burton by putting up a scarecrow to 1 keep away the robins and blackbirds from her precious cherries and cur rants. In making the scarecrow Lull had used "an old coat of no value," he de clared, "too loud to wear on the street-Just used it inside the eleva tor office." It was conspicuous and did its work well. One day a man motor ing by halted and came up to the fence. "Young lady," he spoke to Mjra, "ex cuse me, but that coat on your bnar> CTOW strikes me as familiar. Would you tell me something of Its owner?" and then, as Lull appeared, he extend ed his hand with heartiness and the words : "Lucky I've found you. There's a lot to tell you." What the attorney told Archie Lull was that his relative, dying, had left him one of the heirs to a considerable amount Miss Burton looked disap pointed and Myra sad at losing the companionship of their cheery, helpful friend. "But rm coming back," declared Archie, and he did. It was to court the winsome Myra and with her later settle down on Miss Burton's minia ture farm as (he dearest spot on earth. sisB??SBBBB?BSiti Feathers are largely f moulting hens need < tein.
