there are the leaft remains of the natural matks in their teeth or if ingenuity cn fublitute them by artificial means this is often done by means of an iron inftrument made red hot and applied to that part of the teeth in which the fpeck- fhould appear with a co fiderabie prefture it has the defired effra but it is not permanent and is therefore only reforted to in defperate ca fe but no fooner is

teeth about three or four months afterwards thefe falteeth continue in this late till the horfe is from 2 to 3 years old when the fit ft four or centre teeth are fhed and replaced by others called horfe- teeth at 3 or 4 years the middle teeth and at 4 or 5 years the corner teeth are alfo caft until a horfe is full 5 years of age there ts only the extetior hell of the nev corner teeth visible

the hollow of the centre teeth has disappeared and that of themiddleones 19 half worn out the corner teeth remain nearly in this ftatc til the age of j or 8 years though a change fometimes begins at 7 the cor ner as wel a the othct teeth then become full leaving only a brown fpeck vulgar ly called the hm at the top wich in fome hoxfes and particularly in mares con tinues for fevera years longer the

of the age may be ac quired from all thefe tteth but we ought prir cipally to attend to the corner teeth and to the tufks of the under jaw the tuks appear at 4y often at 5 and rarely at 3j at 54 they are harp at the point and channelled or fluted in the infide if the tusks are not vety long are fliarp at the top and have a cavity or fluted infide the horfe is not very old tim flute ridge or cavity has yet eluded the devices of dealers to imitate and is eaiily felt with the forefinger of the right hand hen a hoifeis very old the teeth jut outwards arc long and of a yellow colour theeye- lafhes are white and the nether jaw bone has become iharp there have long been complaints of the london dealers and the practice has late ly travelled northwards contriving to pafs their horfes for a year older by putting out the corner foal teerh but the moll common device of our dealers is to make their horfes appear a year or two younger than they really are which is perhaps a ftill nv re
