Individuality OF the Horse.

One thing curious and interesting about
the horse is its Individuality. This is a
characteristic common to all animals, un-
doubtedly to a greater or less degree, but
surprisingly SO we think i'll the case of the
horse. How this characteristic varies in
horses is well known by any one VINO has
ever intelIigen,ly drawn a rein of go q
roadster. 1he individuality Of horses var
les as much as that OF men. Every one
has = different mental as we'll as physical
make up. Some horses seem to possess
brains, TO have some sense, are qalck to
understand and obey the least sign, motion
or word Of their master; others are not
inaptly termed ''lunk-heads, always awk-
ward, numbering about, difficult to teach,
and never make anything" in q horse
illogical sense. 1t may be true tlat these
traits III horse are sometimes due TO the
habits of his driver or owner, and that the
for 1s n.5 ,tseli NAY not be 80 much to blame
can be excused on this score, there is II
surprising difference in these mental quail
ltles of horses. Some men drive anu use
horses for years and yet never realize any
thing, or that there is any more difference
| between them than there is between 30
many barrels or sawlogs. Other men who
handle horses great deal, who buy and
sell frequently, aud who study much their
different characteristics, Will tell you ho*
wonderful horses are, how much more
they know than some men, how much each
one has t. be driven and handled Clffer-
emily, aud how much they will sometimes
teach even their drivers! Between a
nervous, sensitive, intelligent horse and
his conslderate owner how large,a a union OF
fellowship and sympathy exists In the
stable, on the ROAD, ii overtaken by all &C
ci tent, the cool, sensible man is sure to
have quick sympathy from his faithi ul
horse. he trusts his master, as his mas er
trusts HIM. If the master is quiet, the
horse will be equally so, knowing every
thing is safe; il the master busters, OF
becomes anxious, or exhibits fear, the horse
knows it at once, and becomes reslve like
wise. Oh. that men only knew tkat hol 1891
know much more than they give then
credit for, and that they would use then
more humanely. as they should, than the.
now do. Horses are not Druies, they ar
noble, intelligent, sensible creatures, th
most useful animal servant which dlvln
goodness has given TO man.
