HOW TO TELL A HORSES AGE.

much Experience Required and MANY
Things Have to Be Considered.
To distinguish merely between tho
young horse and the old. It Is only
necessary to remember few salient
facts. The first is that the milk teeth
are present in the horses mouth until
he is between 4 and years old. The
second fact Ia that the mark" OK
dark central depression on the surface
OF the incisors becomes gradually worn
out. and in a horse over years old
has nearly always disappeared from
the teeth of the lower Jaw. The third
fact is that the shape Of the tooth is
much wider from side to side than
1t is from front to back. AS tho horse
becomes older the surface becomes pre-
gressively narrower, from side to side.
and thus, instead, Of remaining always
oblong, 1t becomes triangular. and
then In very old animals flattened from
side to side. In young horses, then.
we Judge the age by observing which
of the milk, teeth are present. and
which have been replaced by perma-
nent ones. To distinguish between
the milk teeth and the permanent. re-
member that the milk teeth are small
er. whittier, and have distinct neck.
Until a colt Is over years old his
teeth are all milk teeth. and the age
Is estimated from the amount Of wear
shown on the crowns Of the teeth. Be-
tween and the first Of the perma-
nent teeth make their appearance. and
push out the middle two teeth In both
upper and lower jaws. A horse Is
said to be years old when these CEN
tral permanent incisors are fully In
wear. During the next summer the
second pair of permanent teeth appear.
and when they are fully grown and In
wear the horse is years old. Be-
tween and the last pair makes Its
appearance, and now the horse. has
what is called a full mouth. So far
both mares and horses are alike. but
at or near years old the CANNES. or
"tushes." appear in the male sex only.
Up to the end of this period the de-
termination Of the age is compare
lively easy matter. and any one who
is at all observant can readily give the
age of horses by looking at their teeth.
After full mouth Is attained 1t Is a
more difficult matter. and the dihiculty
cs accurately telling the age Of old
horses is greater in proportion to their
age. So much Is this the case that 1t
is popularity supposed that 1t is i'm
possible to tell the age Of horses after
they are years old. This may be
true to a great extent among the un-
trained and inexperienced. but to an
expert 1t is not dificult to tell the age
up to 10 years with fair degree of ac-
curacy, and after that age to approx
innate 1t within couple Of years. To
do this successfully requires much ex-
perience and q careful inspection Of all
visible Indications Of age. To rely
upon one only. such as the mark" is
to court defeat. All should be OBJ
served-the mark. the shape Of the
teeth. their length and the angle at
which they meet those Of the other

In the eye-holes are made fast small

dashed at their outer ends to ring.
When Jacky's folding bed is open for
use It hangs by these rings from ham

Jacky has a mattress and a blanket
in his bed, and he has to keep them
there. When he turns out" as get

up on its longest axis and lashes 1t
