. Dentition as indicative of the age of the animals of the farm. Domestic animals -- Age; Teeth. 26 Dentition as indicative of the Age gums and in the general aspect of the mouth, which must not be lost sight of when an accurate opinion has to be formed. In the eigJit-i/ear-old mouth the form of the tables of the incisors and the shape of the central enamel in the central in- cisor afford tolerably satisfactory indications of the age. The central teeth are more distinctly triangular than they were at seven years ; tlie central enamel in these teeth is also triangular in figure. All the tables of the incisors are worn as level as the Fig. 17.—Incisors of Horse {''Pee2>o'-day Boy ") at eight different degrees of density of the various structures will permit. The cavities are either very shallow, or quite obliterated by being filled up with one of the tooth tissues, although the central enamel in each tooth is perfectly well defined. The gum of the corner incisors at eight years has lost its circular form and be- come square. The tusks are more blunted at the tops than in the seven-year-old mouth. In the above illustration (Fig. 17) the appearance of the eight-year-old mouth is shown. The drawing was copied from.
