How to Buy a Horse. 'In buying a horse, first take a gen eral look at him, then examine his hocks and watch his flanks, then stu dy his head. The most common defects in a horse are found in the hoek and wind. Blood and bone spavins are easily detected, the former as puffy enlargements which the man that is selling will always tell you are wink puffs, but which are always spavinls if found about the hocks and the lat (er as a hard bony growth over the inside of the joint. The flanks are almost. sure to "give away'' the heaves, although he may be doped in such a way as to effectually conceal it except to a careful observer. If suspicious about his wind and you cauiot deteimine by flanks, wait, until you get to his head. The nostrils have never tailed me yet inl determin ing a horse's wind. It there is any fhi wion Iig there will inlvariably be an u 1nustial explinsionl and olittnaction of the Inmsrills and though this may he only very slight, when .at rest, it is so viiliit at other times that wrin kes :ne I'fmell alve the back of the 14ostrils, which show very closely the d(1e,-rev to which he is affected.

Many a worthless horse has been sold for a fancy price sim ply because he was fat, while many of the very best have failed to find a buyer at any price for want of it. The age of a horse is most easily determined by the cups of the teeth. At four years the horse has its perma nent. front teeth. At five there are deep black cavities in the center of all lower nippers. At six these cavi ties disappear in the two center lower nippers. Two more lose their cavities for each year to the eighth and then the two center upper tippers lose their cavities, and each year two more until at the age of ten the teeth are all smooth, or retain only a small black speek. After the age of ten the length of the teeth and tushes m'ust be judged, even then the age can be de teriined only approximately.-R. E. Diniek, Barrod Co., Wis. Rewards of Literature. Papyrus.
