Individuality of the Horse.

One thing curious and interesting
about the horse is its individuality.
This is a characteristic common to all
animals, undoubtedly, to a greater or
less degree, but surprisingly so we
think in the case of the horse. How
this characteristic varies in horses is
well known by any one who has ever
intelligently drawn q rein over a good
roadster. The individuality of horses
varies as much as that of men. Every
one has a different mental as well as
physical makeup. Some horses seem
to possess brains, to have some sense,
are quick to understand and obey the
least sign, n. otion or word of their mas
ter; others are not inaptly termed "lunk-
heads" always awkward, numbering
about, difficult TO teach, and never
make anything" in a physiological
sense. 1t may be true that these traits
in a horse are sometimes due to the hab-
its of his driver or owner, and that the
horse itself may not be so much to blame
for his ignorance, but however much he
can be excused on this score, there is a
surprising difference in these mental
qualities of horses. Some men drive
and use horses for years and yet never
realize anything, or that there is any
more difference between them than
there is between so many barrels or
saWlogs. Other men who hand e
horses a great deal, who buy and sell
frequently, and who study much their
different characteristics, will tell you
how wonderful horses are, how much
more they know than some men, how
much each one has to be driven and
handled differently, and how much
they will sometimes teach even their
drivers! Between a nervous, sensitive,
intelligent horse and his considerate
owner how large a union of fellowship
and sympathy exists. In the stable, on
the road, if overtaken by an accident,
the cool, sensible man is sure to have a
quick sympathy from his faithful horse.
He trusts his master, as his master
trusts him. If the master is quiet, the
horse will be equally so, knowing every
thing is safe; if the master busters, or
becomes anxious, or exhibits fear, the
horse knows it ut once, and becomes
restive likewise. Oh, that men only
knew that horses know much more
than they give them credit for, and that
| they would use them more humanely
as they should, than they now do
Horses are not brutes, they are noble
intelligent, sensible creatures, the most
useful animal servant which divine
goodness has given to man!-Neso Eng
