TeIIIng ! Hor.e,s Age.

The popular idea that the age of 4
horse can always be told by looking at
ms teeth said veterinary surgeon,
us not entirely correct. After the
eighth year the horse has no more new
teeth so that the tooth method is use-
less for telling the age of a horse
which Is more than eight years old. Az
soon as the set of teeth is complete,
however, wrinkle begins to appear
on the upper edge of the lower eyelid,
and new wrinkle is added each year,
so that TO get ut the age of a horse
more than eight years old you must
figure the teeth plus the wrinkles"
