The Descent of the Ordinary Cart
Horses of Europe.
From Knowledge.


AS early as the prehistoric period. as we
infer from the rude drawings of the animal
by it's first masters, the European horse
was uniformly colored-probably dun, with
dark name, tail and legs. 1t was a small
heavy headed brute, with rough, scrubby
name and tail, and no trace in the skull of
the depression for the face gland. From this
stock are descended the cart horse and the
ordinary breeds OF western Europe.
The blood horse. or thoroughbred on the
other hand. is later importation into Eu
rope, either from Arabia, by way of Greece
and Italy, or, as some think, from North
Africa, the home of the barb. 1t has been
supposed that these eastern horses are the
descendants of an earlier domestication of
the game stock. l have, however. recently
shown the existence in an Indian domesti-
Gated horse skull, as well as in the skull of
the racehorse Ben dor, of a distinct trace
of the depression for a face gland. and the
suggestion consequently presents itself that
breds) are derived from Equus sivalensis.
in which the face gland may still have been
functional.
The thoroughbred. as colltrasted with the
cart horse, exhibits the extreme limit of
specialization of which the equine stock il
ca pablo, this being displayed not only by
the gracefulness and beauty of its bodily
form and the relatively small size of its
head and ears. but likewise by the greater
relative length of the bones of the lower
segmentS of the limbs. compared with
the upper ones, namely, the lGmeruS in
the fore limb and the femur in the hind
pair In this respect. therefore, the blood
horse departs the furthest of all the TT be
from it's tapirlike ancestors. as it does in
it's height at the shoulder.
But it is not only in it's skeleton that the
horse exhibits traces of it's affinity with it's
, predecessors On the hinder part of the
foot little above the hoof, is structure
mately coincident with that of the loss Of

development in Greyy's zebra of Somali-

when the ancestral horses applied the under
surface of the fetlock to the ground. More

sides of both limbs in the horse Inclusive
of the Monaghan wild ponies). but only on
the foreiegs of the other species. which are

Although it has been suggested that these

by no means agree in pos.tion), 1t is far

Animal Stalking.

the animals. not even man excepted, the
cat tribe are the most expert hunters, and
their whole system is based on stalking.
From the lion stealing up on the eIand

patient following, always waiting for a
time when the blow cannot fail. Hunfe. 8
from the Canadian forests tell of being

following. never offering to attack, but
merely sneaking along behind from very
Unborn love of that style of hunting. The
wolf tribes hunting in packs seldom ex-
coed by speed what the cats. capture by
stalking The hardest thing for the stalk

hunted animal catches his pursuer's eye
in seven cases out of ten he will not see
the hunter at all, and the greatest art of
the hunter is to be able to see without

tails of diversified agriculture, and while
1t may have had its origin in medieval
time. it has been practiced only of late
years in the south. We now see mapped
farms. showing the terracing, indicat ting
the lay of the land and distribution of vari-
Gus crops
Another effect of the increase in the cir
culating medium is the increase in the price
offered to labor, which is now 20 to 10 per
cent above the price given last season. De-
spite the extra inducements extended to
farm workers, there is now an unparalleled
scarcity of help. The world is calculating
on bumper crop of cotton from the south
this year, and no doubt every effort will
be put forth by growers to increase the
production, but it is now generally recog-
nized fact that it takes joint cooperative
movement between propitiOus seasons and
twelve months of unceasing labor to accom-
plish such a result.
Just how far this movement will be con-
tinued it is impossible to say, but a proverb
has been gaining ground in the cotton belt
during the last three or four years: 1.-The
less cotton you have the more money you
have. 1t is, of course, foolish to say that
there is not world of profit in cotton when
anywhere from $50 to 500 worth is grown
on an acre, but it can be truthfully said
that there are other branches of agricu-
ture that are paying quite handsome
dividends as cotton farming, with less out
lay in the way of labor and incidental eX-
penses. Included under this head are hay
farming and stock raising, which require
comparatively little labor The one draw
back to livestock farming is the lack Of
fences but this is being rapidly overcome.
The financial condition of the south is
such las to render it almost entirely indie
pendent, and the increasing tendency to
grow home products needed insures a con-
tinuance of such state of affairs; so 1t
is hard to- see why the country should not
enjoy many more years of uneXampled
prosperity. This becomes doubly probable
when wesconsder the variety of products
grown and the enlarged knowledge that
is formed by closer acquaintance with
diversificationa and rotation.
