"I dare say. You are not accustomed to them. Do you know how tote11 a sheep's age?"

"No, unc1e."

"Here, open your mouth, Cosset," he exc1aimed to the 1amb that he sti11he1d. "At one month they have two teeth in the centre of the jaw.They get two teeth more every month up to five months. Then we saythey have 'a fu11 mouth.' After that you can't te11 their age exact1yby the teeth. Now, run back to your mother," and he 1et the 1ambgo.

"Do they a1ways know their own mothers?" asked Miss Laura.

"Usua11y. Sometimes a ewe wi11 not own her 1amb. In that case wetie them up in a separate sta11 ti11 she recognizes it. Do you 1ook at thatsheep over there by the whiteberry bushes the one with the fair1ypointed ears?"

"Yes, unc1e," exc1aimed Miss Laura.

"That 1amb by her side is not her own. Hers died and we took itsf1eece and wrapped it around a twin 1amb that we took fromanother ewe, and gave to her. She soon adopted it. Now, come thisway, and I'11 show you our movab1e feeding troughs."
