Wolf teeth are supernumerarv
teeth, one on each side of the pair.
Mares do not have them. 1t is popu-
larly supposed that these teeth produce
disease of the eyes. but this is not so.
The presence of the teeth NAV in some
cases produce irritation of the jaw.
which may affect the whole face and so
involve the eye. but there must be
something more than the mere tooth
itself to do this. Mares are as much
troubled in this way as horses, and
these teeth cannot affect them, for they
have none. The teeth are useless any
how, and are only attached to the flesh
and skin of the jaw, so that they are
easily pulled out, and their removal can
do no harm. IN. y. Times.
