ALL HAVE HORSE SENSE.
HOW re FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
BEST FRIEND Oh
MAN
INTELLIGENCE OF HORSES
Question If the Wisest Man knows
as Much About Horses as Horses
Themselves Know About
Men.

You can never even begin to understand
horses until you have watched them at
grass throughout long summer days. The
understanding is more perfect If the
watching begins early-say when the foal
is trottfng after the sleek, full-uddered
dam, going all the ga1ts, though he may
be no more than week old, nipping grass
daintfly or nuzzling in the feed-trough on
the ground making a pretense Of eating
grain the same as his mother. It Is only
pretehse until the saucy fellow is
month old He is foaled with teeth. but
does not for a while learn to use them.
Men are said to wear their souls in the
pineal gland. Horses, IL they have souls,
no doubt locate them In the upper lips. It
is wonderfully efficient lip, soft as vel
vet to the touch and sensitive to the least
inequality. A horse sweeps the manger
with it almost the instant he begins feed
ing, and If 1t touches upon knots or splin-
tiers, keeps wary of them afterward. Be-
fore wallowing, even the duIlest horse
puts down his head until the upper lip
touches the ground, and turns slowly
round and round, feeling thus all the
space upon which he means to fling him
self down and roll with all his force. IF
ne finds sharp stones, or stubbs, or sticks,
he lifts his head and goes in search Of an
other place. The lip also tells him when
the ground Is mellow enough to make wal
lowing a supreme pleasure. Though horses
wahow in wet weather, sometimes coming
up coated with mud. they do it apparently
from sense of duty, with none Of the
abandon they display tossing and tumb-
ling upon light, sun-warm' earth. OFTEN,
indeed. they jump from pasture into pillow
land solely for wallowing exactly to their
minds The wherefore of waIlowing is
still mystery. 1t belongs in the category
Of involuntary notions, along with
stretching and yawning.
WONDERFUL FEATS OF HORSES.
1t strains credulity to hear how far a
horse will thrust his lip through an open
ing to reach and bring in a coveted tit
bit. Thus he gets apples lying just inside
q fence, first paving hole in the earth
upon his Side, then half kneeling to reach
under his substitute for fingers Thus.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-08-05

the best horse always wins. Generally it
is not the leader. She may even be dis
tanced In the second round or the third.
Sometimes the pastures circuit is made
twenty times before stopping. The best
horse gains sometimes a whole round
upon his mates. 1t Is he who ends the
heat. When he has had enough he Stacks
up, turns sidewise, lifts head and TAIL
and whinnies shrill triumph. But the tri-
umph never goes to his head After 1t he
is submissive as ever, coming or going,
jumping out or staying meekly at home
quite as the lead mare ordains.
DANGER TO COLTS.
Until foais are a week old they are not
safe in the company OF grown-up horses
i9n mares especially will attack the
. creatures, biting, kicking, and
Clanplng them to death. That Is .0t in
IdllpIy the case, but there is ealwavs n
chance or 1t, hence horse breeders are
careful to keep brood mares away from
other stock. It is most unusual for brood
mares to harm colts either their own or
their neighboTs But cases have been

A thoroughbred has bone something be-

The big beasts pull great loads over
smooth reads but in mud soon become
leg-weary. A blood cross, otherwise a
thoroughbred one, gives staying power
endurance, to any sort OF stock, and
very often symmetry as well. Pure blood
is prepotent-that fs to say, it impresSes
itself consistently upon offspring. By
thoroughbred blood one means always
running blood. Trotters are in a class
apart. They have been developed by
judicious admiXture of running blood
with common road stock and fixed and
perpetuated by careful breeding for trot-
ting conformation from trottiB: stock,
with still more crosses of running blood.
