How HORSE FEEDS.
may be learned by observing how a
horse picks up his feed, either in graz
ing or when fed in the stable. One will
have very good idea of the sensitive
ness of the upper lip, and how cleverly
the horse gathers in the choice heritage
or hay, and rejects the waste. This mo-
bile prehensib!e lip is constantly i'm mo-
ton, aud by its sense of feeling, sepa-
rates the selected food from that which
is rejected. The horse can not see the
heritage exactly under the mouth, but
the lip pushes away the undesirable
food, and gathers with the greatest pre-
cision that which is selected from the
rest. In Il weedy pasture, this instinct
of the lip is brought into action in a
most peculiar and interesting manner,
and exhibits in striking degree the
exquisite sensitiveness of the delicate
nerves of this organ. One who has
seen this action of the lip, and realizes
the great sensitiveness of it, will never
permit himself to practice the excessive
cruelty of putting twitch about a
horses upper lip for any purpose, for
the torture of it must be very great in
deed.
