TIE FONTS OF \ HORSE.

There are four principles and distinct
temperaments seen in hOrses-the nervous,
bilious. sanguiue and Emphatic. They
are By nature distinct diSsimilar and not
seldom antag0nistic Still they rarely are
found pare, separate. In most eases they
are found TO be blended, mingled co-exist-

the degree Of this preponderence Of the one
over the rest Is the constitution of the ami

lightning-like gather, restless ear and
bright, animated countenance. lie Will be

and leave his stable with a spring. lie will
suffer untold agonies on the application of
the iron curry-c0mb in the careless groom :
hand, and will need watching and a taut
rein on on the road to prevent his shying-
This. in brief. Is the picture Of horse with
a nervous temperament. The Vermont
Black Hawk types this class.
