From the Farmer's Magazine. Rules for ascertaining (he azc of Hors- e$) by inspection of their teeth. Sir—There is no part of a farmer's flock which has now become more expenfive, &nrf jo whiib greater lofT. % are fuHaincd. than that of horfes. Beiides their nume¬ rous, and often fatal diftafcs, which urgent¬ ly demand the care of well-educated and experienced praftittoncrs in the vetcinary art. a*; has been noticed in a former num¬ ber of your Magazine, the farmer, as well as every purchafcr of hoifes, is often impo- fed upon with regard to their age. which, it is very ablordly believed by many, is ordy to be ^fcertained by thofe whole in- tetetf loo often le?ds them to pia&tfe im pofition, and t*> fupport, with a very know¬ ing and important air, this imaginary diffi¬ culty. In truth, thi- knowledge is artful¬ ly made to appear as fomethine myftical, and ncv^r taught. The air affumed by the agent, is well ptuitiayed in Rem¬ brandt^ pi£ture of the Aftrologer; and their aAions and motives are very iimilar. Though I do not mean to deny that there are many exceptions; yet 1 think the ex¬ perience of moft farmers will authorize me to fay, that dealers are little to be trutt- ed relpefiirg the age of horfes. Indeed, you fhail very fcldom find any of their hor¬ fes above fix years old, if there are the leaft remains of the natural matks in their teeth, or if ingenuity c-n 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 the horfe transfer¬ red to the purcha^ei, than he often becomes o'^tr, perhaps, by two or three years; much fn rhe fame way that marriage ha? been fat to have fomctimes effefled a correfpon- d i g addition to the ftati ^nary age -»f the en'tquated maid and withered bachelor. In my y lungerdays I was, like many other*, a Ktifferer from my own ignmancci and the trick of dealers ; and (hall now of ft a* few remarks with a view to aflift fuch cf your readers as may be at aloft to know iheageof horfes, by infpe&ion of their teeth, which is the heft method of judging of it ; beginning with thr foal-teeth, and r *.inng the progreffive changes, until the age ran be no longer ascertained with any <J*-grec of certainty. •n h «rfc&, she leeth are 40 in number ; tftfd in mares, not barren, commonly 36, becaufc the latter feldora have tulles,— Thefe teeth arc "of three kinds";—the gath¬ erers or incisors—the tufkfi—and the grin¬ ders. The firft are fubdivided into two centre or foreteeth ; two middle, one on each side of the former ; and two corner teeth, one on each side of the latter; fo that each jaw has six of thefe, with two tufts and twelve grinders. At the root of each tooth is a hole, through which ate con¬ veyed an artery, a vein, and a nerve, for its nourishment When the foal is 10 or 1 2 days old, four front teeth appear, two in the upper, and two in the under jaw. In a month or six weeks afttt, the middle teeth follow; and the corner teeth about three or four months afterwards. Thefe f^al-teeth 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, with fltfh within. Between y| and 6, the in¬ ner edge of thefe teeth grow up to a level with the outer edge, which is furrowed ir¬ regularly, ftill being hollow, and becom¬ ing ftrongcrand thicker. At this age, 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 h$m\ at the top ; w..ich in fome hoxfes, and particularly in mares, con¬ tinues for fevera! years longer: The fur¬ rows are alfo effaced, the gums retire, and the tooth appears longer. At 8 years complete, the marks in the teeth of the under jaw have disappeared in moll cafes ; Ihnt -wi rnarj 1JJI. resnittlli fiha <wpp<r juv., • hm bean in the front teeth ofwhich begins to wear out at 9 years; that of the middle teeth at 94. and that of the corner teeth from that age till 10 ; after which no mark is vifible. A knowledge 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 tu/ks 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 reprchenfible pra&ice. Annexed is a recapitulation of the fore¬ going Narrative, in which the appearance of the Teeth, at the different periods of a Horfe's age, is biough into one view. State of the Teeth at various ages* At from 2} fo 3 years old—A horfe fheds, in both rows, the two centre teeth. Ue is then faul to Le a three-year old. d'/i a \ -v ^^.^i^*- ti- 1 r. - -»t— r_... teeth, one on each fide of thofe he loft the preceding year, both in the upper and un¬ der jaw, having the four out fide or corner teeth remaining, lie is now called a four year old. At 4^ to 5 years—The four corner foal teeth are calt, and then he palTes for a five- year old. There yet appears but the ftiell of the new teeth with flefh infide. At full 5, the flefh cifappears, and the corner teeth become complete (hells, hollow within. The tuiJts have now pierced the gum, and their (harp points may be felt by the finger. At 5 \ to 6 years—The tu^ks become of a moderate fize, fhaip, the infide fluted, and the edge next the gatherers thin. He is now called 6 ; which is the mod valua- ble age. The hollow of the centre and middle teeth is nearly filled up ; but that of the corner teeth fltll remains ; and the latter have grown up, fo that the inner edge is level with the outer or front. At 6 to ri years —All the gatherers are j now full, having only a brown fpeck on the top. The corner teeth have become much thicker, and the tusks longer. But as the fpeck remains with many horfes for feveral years after, a perfon who is not a judge will be told, the horfe i6 not moie than fix years old. At 8 to 10 years and upwards.—At 8, the bean being generally worn out from the teeth of (he under jaw, the upper jaw may be examined. At 9, the fpeck of the centre, or front teeth ; at 9^, that of the middle ; and at 10, the fpeck of the cor¬ ner teeth is effaced. Then the horfe is faid to be aged, and to have loll all mark. The age can no longer be diftin&Iy known by the teeth ; but a probable conjecture, from the circumflances before mentioned, and paiticularly from the tusks, may be formed. * * • * * F J.
