Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Brooks were callers at Barrington one day last have been good property lately. This has /prompted newcomers to enter the business. A good many of them may not know how to "month" a sheep. The old and accepted way to mouth a sheep has been described a hundred times and then some. It is good so far as it goes, but when it goes no farther than about five-year ages the green hand with shefp is up against it! The ages offered for sale often give the beginner small chance to practice the usual craft of month tag sheep. A pair of large cutting teeth in the middle (below of course) mean the animal is a year old and under two. Four teeth there mean a two-year-old and under three-^-and so on. The age may vary a little In months, but this is of no consequnce to the fanner. The snag comes when the ewe shows -a full mouth," which puts the mouthing man on his own resources fbr age beyond five years. After that the gums begin to shrink away from the crown of the tooth, making it appear long from cutting edge to gums. If the gums do not come up snugly to the crown of the tooth, then you have an aging ewe. If the "neck" of the tooth is long from the crown to the gums your ewe has seen her best days. If the teeth have to break, anybody knows that is old age and a very sensible exfor offering her for sale! This knack of estimating the age of a full month may be worth several years of lamb production for the buyer. If these long-necked teeth can be sprung out and in with the thumb and finger, you have a mouth that is ready to Milk Goats Worthwhile and Quite Profitable worthwhile and profitable pets the milk goat stands high. The goat is one pet that pays its board bill. The ordinary scrub milk goat costs ten to twenty-five dollars and gives about a half-gallon of milk daily when well fed. She usually freshens about the first of the year and often has twin kids. As for feed, the proverbial tin can ration Is a hoax. She must be fed quite like a cow, and her feed must be ample if she is milking heavily. Goats can be fed all of tlje usual grains and they can be trained to eat other products as well.
