Fast Walking Farm Horses.-Any
good breed of trotting horses, or any
horse which has thoroughbred blood in
its veins, can by practice be made to
walk fast. No common-bred animal
can be made a fast walker. A fast
walker is made by careful exercise in
that gait and it is a delightful one for
a traveller if his steed walks four or
five miles an hour. 1t is also very i'm
portant to the farmer to have a fast
walking team; but it depends much
ON the rider or driver whether a horse
ever attains this highly esteemed
uuality.-Farm and Home.
