Color IN TIE 1ToRsE.-It is an old
expression that good horse cannot DO
of bad color, still wo find that The
ready salo ola horse depends largely
upon his color. Some hues are strongly
objected to and prejudice 10 carried so
lar as to deny meiiL in an animal not
marked according to 10 tho standard OF
the critic. We havo not much faith in
color believing that good qualities are
not partial to any particular hue. White
horses, 1t is claimed, live TO the greatest
ago. In 1903 a gentleman farmer, vc.
siding near Ludlow, England, lad a
team OF four graya, whose united aces
were hundred years. These gravs
were all lively animals performing il,cir
work with dispatch. Such n circum.
stance certainly is unusal. and wo may
regard in the light Of coincidence
as coincidence does not provo a PROMO
s'tlon, the history Of tho Ludlow team
has no special influence in giving charac.
ter to tho theory llml gray is tic most
desirable color in tho horse, because il
associated with the greatest longevity.
a gray horse may be hardy, aud so nav
abrown, n black, chestnut or a
bay.

1t will be remembered that 1866 was
