To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After the newly changed tooth has arrived at its proper length it shoots up a line regularly every year and if the teeth stand rightly the grinder wears off a line every year. A line is one twelfth of an inch. Should the teeth stand too far forward they do not wear down in the same proportion as they slioot upwards. This is however no hinderance in ascertaining the age. At the age of 5 years the corner teeth of the lower jaw have grcnvn up to 5 lines above the gum, each middle tooth 7, and each... nip- per 9 lines. At 8 years of age and older, each corner tooth of the same horse projects only 4, the middle teeth G, and the nippers 8 lines above the gums. This is very important, in fact necessary, to be known because it is the only means, by which one can decide with certainty 11 upon the age of a horse whose teeth at an ad" vanced age have become longer than they would have done by proper wear. We will first describe in what manner the age of a horse can be ascertained b\^ those teeth which wear down just in the same proportion as they shoot upwards, and consequently retain their {)ro}»er height above the gum.
