Ask the Old Farmer: Please explain what "long of tooth"
means No one has ever come up with a good explanation yet
Bet you will GH, Reading, PA
The teeth of certain animals never stop growing and may in time
become so long the animal can't eat and will literally starve This
indicates age
Home Hint; Put a stnp of masking tape on plywood along where you
plan to make a cut and the wood won't be splintered by the saw
