How to Tell the Age of Sheep.
Sheep have two sets of incisor
teeth on the lower jaw only. There
are four pairs. The first, or middle
pair ol temporary teeth are replaced
by permanent ones when the lamb Is
13 to io months old. After this the
succtedlng pairs of permanent teeth
appear at intervals of a little less than
a year
Most shepherds reckon a year for
each ;>alr. When the last pair is fully
tip and in wear, the sheep is four
years old. As the sheep grows older
the teeth grow narrower and at the
age of eight or nine years they often
shorten rapidly and finally disappear.
Spring Bulbs.
Well rotted cow manure is the best
teiiUizer for bulbs. Use plenty of it
and dig it in well.
The early bulbs, such as daffodils,
jonquils, snowdrops and crocuses,
should be planted this month. They
do well in the grass. Careful planting
will insure an even and vigorous
growth.
Daffodils should be set in ten inches
apart and jonquils and crocuses at pole is not larger than a quarter of a
