How to Tell the Age of a Horse.
(Article Number Five.)
It is olten important to-be able
to tel) the age of a horse with rea-
sonable accuracy, and we can clo
so more plainly by the aid of the
teeth than by any other way.
At first the jaw is -small to ac-
commodate the milk teeth; the
jaws soon become larger to take
in the permanent ones. The front
teeth or nippers are usually stud-
ied with more success to note the ;
changes in the age of the horse, .
and they enable us to do so very ny has completed an inspection
J C n . ..4- V un n VT1 ATTT At
accurately up to the age of eight
years, and fairly so up to eigh-
teen, by the plan or formation of
the teeth.
When two weeks old the cen-
tral nippers are full grown; in
|jve or six weeks another incisor
will appear on either side of the
two first; in two months they will
have reached their natural size,
and between the second and third
months the second will have over-
taken the first. They will then
begin to wear away a little. Be-
tween the sixth and ninth months
another nipper begins to appear
on either side of the two first,
making six above and six below,
and completing the colt’s mouth;
after which the only noticeable
difference between the second
and third years is a wearing away
of the teeth.
The teeth are covered with a
hard substance called enamel. It
covers the portion of the teeth
which appears above the gum,
and as time goes on is gradually
worn away. A portion of this en-
amel is caved inward or sunk into
the body of the teeth, forming a
small pit. The inside and bottom
of this pit becomes blackened by
food, and constitutes a “mark,”
by the gradual disappearance of
which the age can be determined
with great accuracy up to about
8 years. At the age of a year and
a half, the mark in the central
nippers will be .shorter and faint-
er. and.tkat in the other nippers
will hilve undergone considerable
change, and all the nippers will
be flat. At two years they will
be more plainly marked. The
central prominent teeth are
growing down, and are larger
than the others. The groove on
the outer convex surface is the
“mark,” and is long, narrow,
deep and black. The mark on
the next two nippers is more
worn out, and is wearing away
on the corner nippers. Between
three and a half and four years
the central nippers have attained
to nearly their whole growth.
The second pair will have so far
displaced the temporary teeth as
ro appear through the trmns,
•where the corner ones will be
transmitted and at length worn
down. At four years the central
nippers will be fully developed,
the top edge somewhat worn off,
and the mark shorter, wider and
fainter. The next pair will be up,
but they will be small, with the
mark deep and extended quite
across. At four and a half years
or near to five the corner nippers
are shed, and the permanent ones
begin to appear.

Our Hat’s in the Ring.
Many political stars have set in
Texas to rise no more during the
past few years and with their de-
mise has come the advent of the
ring for factories, railroads and
industrial enterprises.
While the politicians are in the B2-4t
middle of an ocean of debate and
candidates are screaming out bad
thoughts at each other, the peo-
fully studying the elements of
progress and to homeseekers and
investors “our hat’s in the ring.”

The cowpea, however humble
it may be considered, is worthy
of a, prominent place in the rota
tion of our southern farms. It
will grow on many kinds of soils,
in unfavorable seasons. It is a
very valuable plant for feed and
for soil improvement. Plan your
rotation so that the cowpea will
occupy a prominent place.—Ex.
More Light and Less Heat.
The demand of the public for
more light and less heat in the
consideration of proposed legis-
lation is fairly illustrated by a
resolution passed by the Hender-
son County Farmer’s Union at
Athens on April 18, which reads
as follows:
Resolved, That we demand of
our candidates for the legislature
that they hear all sides before
they pledge to support any par-
ticular law which they may be
asked to support, and we insist
that the farmer’s side, as well as
all other sides, be heard before
any new laws are passed.
It has been the custom of can-
didates during the heat of a cam-
paign to accede to any demand
backed by voters, regardless of
its merits and as a result the far-
mers have suffered in common
with all industry from hastily
improved legislation. Let there
be more light and less heat in law
making.—C. S. A.

The split-log drag is a good im-
plement to keep on the farm. Or-
ganize a road club among your
neighbors and let each be assign-
ed a portion of the road passing
his farm. Then after each rain,
when the ground is too wet to
plow, hitch up your teams and
drag the road. A little effort in
this way will improve poor roads.
