1st.--The pale pink hue, when the horse is in perfect health. 2d.--An increased tinge of red, and the gradual uniform painting of the membrane, indicating some excitement of the general system. 3d.--The streaked appearance when inflammation is threatening or commencing. 4th.--The intense florid red, of inflammation being acute. 5th.--The starting of the vessels from their gossamer coat, and their seeming to run bare over the membranes, when inflammation has attained its highest point. 6th.--The pale ground, with patches of vivid red, showing the half subdued but still existing fever. 7th.--The uniform color, but of a deeper red than natural, indicating the return of a healthy state of the circulation. 8th.--A paleness approaching to white, with a slight radiation of crimson, showing that there is still considerable irritability, and that mischief may be in the wind. 9th.--The pale, livid color, warning you that the disease is assuming a typhoid character. 10th.--The deep livid, announcing that the typhus is establishing, and that the vital current is stagnating. 11th.--The brown or dirty painting, intermingling with and subduing the lividness, denoting that the game is up. 12th.--These appearances will be guides to our opinions and treatment, which can never be too highly appreciated. THE EYES. From the eye of the horse we form an idea of his age. There is, at the back of the eye a considerable quantity of fatty substance, on which it may revolve easily, without friction. In aged horses much of this disappears, the eye becomes sunken, and the pit above it deepens: The eye is a very important organ of the horse, and should be large, clear, shining, lively, dark colored, round and full, so that you may look deep into them; when moving but a small portion of the white should show, and the purchaser who notices this should pause ere he completes his bargain for a horse that shows too much of the whites of his eyes. THE EARS. Those who are acquainted with the nature of the horse pay much attention to the size and motion of the ear. Ears rather small than large, placed not too far apart, erect and quick in motion, indicate both breeding and spirit. If a horse is frequently in the habit of carrying one ear forward and the other backward, and especially when on a journey, he generally possesses both spirit and continuance; and if attentive to what is taking place about him, he cannot be much fatigued or likely soon to become so.
