have . distinct neck. Until . colt i
lover two Or three years old his teetl
are all milk testh, and the age is e.
timated from the amount Of weal
shown on the crown OF the teeth
between two and three, the first O
the permnant teeth make their mp
pcarapce and push out tho middle
two teeth in the upper and lower jaw
A horse is said to be three years ole
when these central permanent incisor'
are fully In wear. During the mex
summer the second pair Of permanent
teeth appear, and when they are
fully grown and IN wear, the horse is
four years old. Between four and
Ave the last pair make their appear
ance, and now the0horse is what is
called full mouth. So far both
mares and horses are alike, but Mt OF
near five years old the cannes, OF
"tnshes," appear in the male sex only.
Up to the end Of this period the de-
termination of the age is compara-
lively easy matter, and anyone 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 as the
difficulty is greater in proportion to
their age. So much is this the case
that it is popularly supposed that it
is impossible to tell the age OF horses
after they are eight years old. This
may be true to q great extent among
the unframed and inexperienced, but
to ar expert it is not difficult to tell
the age up to fifteen years with fair
degree OF accuracy, aud after that age
to approximate it within n couple OF
years. To do this successfully re-
qires much experience and careful
inspection of all the visible indica-
tions Of age. To rely upon one only,
such as the ''mark,' is to court de-
feat. All should be observed-the
mark, the shape of the teeth, their
length, and the angle at which they
meet those Of the other jaw.
