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. A ttem pts thus
r have been unsuccessful.
ippearance as Guide in
Telling Age of Animals
General appearance is the best
aide for age in hogs and p oultry.
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.

Gizzardless Chickens
Chicken specialists in the D epart
ment of Agriculture seem to have
settled the question as to ju s t how
useful a chicken gizzard is, at least
to their own satisfaction. They op
erated on a number o f chickens,
removed their gizzards, and sewed
them up again. Put through feed-
tests with norm al b ird s the giz-
rardless chickens have done w ell
cn finely ground feeds, but failed
“> digest coarse feeds eflficienUy. A
ten operated on in 1934 is s till lay-
8 eggs and a gizzardless rooster
tes lived happily since 1933. This
interesting but of no g re at prac-
c« importance. To our m ind it
ttla be much better to elim in a te
e vocal cords fro m a few old
posters we know.—C ountry Home

Some Help
Two Yorkshire men bought a
hencoop. As they had a long way to
c a rry it home a friend volunteered
to help. The purchasers began their
long trudge, com plaining b itte rly of
its v'eight. Half-way home one of
them suddenly remembered the
helper.
"W here’s J im ? ’’ he cried. From
the hen-coop came an answering
shout: “ Ah’m inside c a rrying th ’
perches! ’’—Philadelphia In qu ire r.
