[Thecommon yellow bloom ing and Lite blooming sweetclovers in the Enited States both contain a b itte r iibstance known as coum arin. I t ■ believed this substance poisons |ve stock when they are fed im - Iroperly cured clover hay. I Two plant explorers of the depart ment, W. J- Morse and P. H. D or- lett seven years ago sent back a ¿men of a new sweetclover rom the Chihli province of China. was an annual. Since then 27 lots all biennials, have been ob- lain'ed from central Europe, Russia Mongolia. None of them are T Repeated tests w ith the new keetclover have convinced the for- [ge men it does not contain cou marin, reports Dr. E. A. H ollow ell, Clover specialist of the Bureau of Plant Industry. I Preliminary work at the Wiscon- lin experiment station shows th a t ive stock prefer the new sweetclov- ¡r to the common varieties. Spoiled ¿ay of the clover has been led to rabbits and calves w ithout i ll ef fects. | The new clover is shorter than merican varieties and produces fewer leaves. The forage special ists are trying to cross the non- litter clover with domestic strains to lower the coumarin content of the domestic strains.

Ifith horses, cattle and sheep, th e ir age may be told w ith a fa ir degree bi accuracy by th e ir teeth; how ever, this requires experience and various factors, states a w rite r in be Rural New-Yorker. With horses the firs t p a ir, upper lower, of their fro n t teeth are and in wear at fro m two and )ne-half to five years o f age. The other two pairs of incisors come in me year later for each p a ir, so the iorse is fu li mouthed at five years. IThe cups indicate the age fro m then on, starting w ith w ear at six years for the lower, center incisors and advancing progressively one lyear for the others. General appear ance, slope and shape of the surface are of importance also. The horse’s teeth are egg-shaped, fro m side to side, when young;-at nine the sur face is about round, and then be- jcomes elliptical from fro n t to rear. After eleven years general appear« ance is the only guide.
