10 Tell Horses Age.
AT three years old the horse should
have the central permanent nippers
growing, the other two pair wasting, six
grinders in each jaw, above and below,
the first and fifth level, the others and
six protuding. The sharp edges of
the new incisors will be very evident,
compared with old teeth As tho per.
manent nippers wear and continue to
grow, narrow portion of the cone
shaped toothis exposed by the attrition
OF the teeth on each other. The
mark will be wearing cut and the crowns
of the teeth will be sensibly smaller
than Mt two years. Between three and
Il halt and four years the next pair of
nippers will be changed, the central
nippera will have attained nearly their
full growth, vacuity will be left where
the second stood, and the corner teeth
will be diminished in breadth, wern
down, and the mark in the center of the
tooth will become faint. The second
pair of grinders will be shed. At four
years the central nippers will be fully
developed, the sharp edges somewhat
worn of, and the mark somewhat wider
and fainter. The next pair will be mp,
but they will be small, with mark
deep and extending quite across them.
The corner nippers will be larger than
the inside ones, but smaller than before
and fiat, and the mark nearly effaced.
The sixth grinders will have risen to q
level with the other, and the tushes
will begin to appear. At five years the
horses mouth is almost perfect. The cor.
ner nippers are quite up, the long, deep
mark irregular in the inside and the
other nippers will bear evident tokens
of increased wear. The tushes are near
ly grown, the sixth molar is up, and
the third molar is wanting. This last
circumstance will prevent the deception
of attempting to pass late four.yea
old for five year old. At six the marks
ON the central nippers are worn out.
At seven years, the mark is worn out
in the four central nippers and fast
wearing away the corner teeth. The tush-
as ARE rounded ot the points and edg-
es, aud beginning to get round inside
At eight years old the tusheaa are round
cd IN every way, tine mark is gone from
all the bottom uippers. There is moth.
ing remaining in them that can after
ward clearly show the age of horse
After this the only guides are the nip
pers in the under jaw. AT nine years
che mark will be worn from the middle
nippers from the next pair at ten years
and from al the upper nippers at eley.
