BY YING Al'.HORlSE,
A Local Horseman's VaIu-
able Suggestions.

The greatest strength of horse is
limited by his worst point, and it is
wrong in principle to buy horse
because he possesses one or more de-
sirable qualities.
A horse should be rejected for one
bad fault, while, if an attractive
horse is rejected ON account of bad
points and plain one secured, there
is the satisfaction of knowing that a
horse with no bad qualities is at
least serviceable animal.
In selecting a horse always stand
behind him slhe walks away. This
is the, surest way of ascertaining
whether his action is true and
straight.
In judging of the height and size
by sight be sure that the animal
stands onia level with yourself. Let
him 60 away from you, and as he
goes observe him closely from be.
hind. Then as he is turned round
let him come to you while you watch
his movements. Then stand on one
side and observe him closely. From
these observations you can draw
your own conclusions, taking into
consideration the following points:
You do not want horse with
big, coarse head, nor with small,
sunken eye, nor with a long, slack
back or hollow back. Such an ami
NAL cannot carry weight. A horse
with fiat sides or with fiat loins is
usually bad feeder.
Reject horse with short, thick
neck, as usually with a clumsy neck
the head is badly set on.
Reject horse with low withers or
that is very short.
A horse with a narrow or shallow
chest has not sufficient capacity for
his lungs; neither has one whose
fore legs stand close together.
A horse whose fore legs are not
will lack endurance.
A horse that is light Immediately
below the knee is weak.
Short pasterns make horse un-
pleasant to ride, while one with long
pasterns is more subject to sprains.
A horse whose fetlocks turn in is
apt to cut or brush
A horse whose hind legs are too
far behind will lack in propelling
power, as will also one that shows |
much daylight between his thighs.
Medium sized feet are best. A
horse with very small or very large /
feet should be rejected
Reject horse that is straight in
he shoulder and long from the point |
If the shoulder to the upper part of
he forearm.
Reject horse that crosses his
egs in walking or trotting. He will
% unsafe.
A good, sloping shoulder is an i'm
,ortant item in riding horse.
Freedom, power to move along
'asily is quite an item in a young
lorse. Action should always be
light, easy, free and straight.
Always reject horse that does
lot walk well. In nearly all cases
/ horse that walks we'll will trot
veil, but horse may trot well and
ret be poor walker.

The Fife.

1t is said by some that we owe the
fife-"ear piercing, as Shakespeare
calls ito the Swiss, and Sir James
Turner, who busted himself in writ
ing on military matters, names it
the "Allemaine whistle. In France
it was employed at least as early as
1884, in which year it was ordered
by Francis | that each band of / 900
men was to have four drums and
two flies.
A few years later in England we
find "drommes and ffyffes" included
in the muster of London citizens.
Shakespeare refers to the musician,
not the instrument, when he speaks
in the Merchant of Venice of "the
vile squealing of the wry necked
fife. " An old writer observes, in
deed, that "fyfe is a wry-neckt
musician, for he looks away from
his instrument. About the reign of
James II the fife lost its popularity
for time, Sir James Turner observ-
ing, with us any captain may. keep
a fifer in his company and maintain
him, too, for no pay is allowed him
perhaps just as much as he de-
seryeth. "-Chambers Journal.
