HORSES LOVE OF HOME.
Longing for Familiar Stall One Of the
Animals Strongest Instincts.

The strongest instinct in the horse
is that of home-all his thoughts and
interests lie there-and the most wear
ing pain he suffers is that of nostalgia
the longing for the familiar stall and
the we'll loved surroundings, says Out
ing Magazine. What wonder that our
pets almost invariably return to us
from such unhappy experiences mere
shadows of their former selves, and in
such wretchedly bodily condition that
it is months before they regain their
usual health and spirits. We blame
the man in charge, poor feed. bad sta
bling, insufficient pasturage, ETC., and
overlook entirely the fact that it is our
own fault, and the direct result OF
heart hunger which no grass. grain or
roof tree could entirely assuage. OF
course, the little-used muscles have
from lack of exercise, shrunk and lost
their firmness and plumpness; the
crest has fallen from the same cause;
poverty lines" appear in the quarters
and shoulders; the tail and name are
all out of shape. or all worn away; the
feet stubbed off: the coat dingy and
sunburnt: the skin full of all manner
of scars. cuts and abrasions: all these
are the effect, not the cause. of the lack
of bodily condition. which is two
thirds due sheerly and solely, in the
high -bred, nervous, sensitive horse, to
simple inconsistencies.
