Already more than half the

skill have combined to trans

where only it was supposed it
could be produced, into the
northern latitudes. Science
has shown the way to prepare
the soil for it, has overcome all
the mechanical problems' ne

TO TELL THE AGE OP CATTLE.
A heifer has no rings on her
horns until she is two years of
age, snd one is added each year
thereafter. You can, therefore,
tell the age of a cow with tol
erable accuracy by counting the
rings on her horns and adding
two to the number. I The bull
has no rings, as a rule, until he
is five years old. To tell his
age after that period add five to
the number of ringsJ The best
way to tell the age is by the
teeth, which is, of course, the
only way with polled cattle.
What are called the milk teeth
gradually disappear in front.
At the end of three years, the
second pair of permanent teeth
are well grown, at four years
the third pair, and at five the
fourth and last pair have ap
peared, and at this time the
central pair are full size. At
seven years tne aark line,
caused by the wearing of the
teeth, appears on, all of them,
and on the central pair a circu
lar mark. At eight years this
circular mark appears on all of
them and at nine years the
central pair begins to shrink,
