A discussion by Joseph E. Wing in The Breeder's Gazette explains how sheep age is read from dental stages. Lambs show eight small teeth by 12 to 16 months, then two large teeth marking a yearling mouth, four large incisors around 20 months, six by about 28 to 30 months, and all eight by 36 to 42 months.

It ends with news that the Chicago fat stock and horse show dates moved to November 2–18 to accommodate exhibitors for both Chicago and New York shows.
