PART FOURTH. AGES OF HORSES. The following is my new system of telling the agesof horses: A horse has 40 teeth,—24 grinders, 12 front teeth,and 4 tusks. A mare has 36 teeth,—24 grinders, 12front teeth, and sometimes tusks, but not often. 14 days old, 4. N 3 months old, 4 M 6 months old, 4 C 1 year, cups leave N 2 years, cups leave M 2i years, sheds N 3 years, full size N 3i years, sheds M 4 years, full size M. 4^ years, sheds C 5 years, full-size C 6 years, large cup in C smallin M, and still smaller in N 7 years, cups leave N 8 years, cups leave M 9 years, cups leave C 10 years, groove in upper... ,C15 years, half-way down up per C 21 years, at the bottom .. .,C 120 HOW TO EDUCATE HORSES.

AGES OF HORSES, 121 N stands for nipper teeth; M for middle teeth, Cfor corner teeth. The groove comes on the uppercorner teeth at lo years old; one-fourth way down, 12years old; one-half way down, 15 years old; three-fourths way down, 18 years old; all the way out to thebottom, 21 years old. The groove alluded to will be found on the cornertooth of the upper jaw, running down the middle ofthe tooth. When a horse is from fourteen days to sixyears old, I judge by the appearance of both jaws;when from six to ten years, by the lower jaw, andwhen from ten to twenty-one years, by the upper jaw. The above is the only true system iti the world fortelling a horses age. It may be added, however,that long studyand practical familiarity with horsesare necessary in order to tell a horses age readily andcorrectly.
