Domestic animals -- Age; Teeth. 44 Beniiiion as indicative of the Age to determine whether or not an animal were under or above the ag3 of five, and as the years increase the difficulty of judg- ing the age by the appearance of the teeth is not diminished. It is not usually a matter of much importance to decide whether an ox is six years old or seven, and there are no well defined marks in the teeth which justify the examiner in giving an Fig. iO.—Incisors of Ox at ten opinion as to the exact age which the animal has reached.

The recog- nised rule is to add two to the number of rings at the base of the horn, the total representing the number of years of the animal's life. The teeth become narrower and more widely separated.
