which we call docking is, l believe, in

doubt that before many years i viii
become obsolete, as is now the cropping
of horses ears, which was practiced so
late as 1910. But still I should not
strongly condemn the owner for dock
ing his horses, or buying them after
they had been locked, which comes to
the same thing, if his intention and GUS
tom were TO keep them as long as they
lived. But 20 dock a horse, thus de-
