on account Of the danger involved in
1,,fnr1,nbi1as

on account OF the danger involved in
meeting automobiles.
Fortunately. horses, az a class, have
shown themselves capable of accepting
the automobile AZ co-user Of the
highways. In cities and good sized
towns the horse problem is a dead issue.
and even in remote country districts
the situation has been immensely i'm
proved. The frightened horse has be-
come the exception rather than the
rule, as formerly. Happily, horse own
crs from the first realized the necessity
Of 1amiiariZng their animals with au-
tOmObles, and giving them a more or
less intelligent training in regard to
them. While there appears to be a GER
tain proportion Of fool horses that are
positively not amenable to training, the
vast majority have been taught or
have themselves learned to show no
fear Of motor cars unless when en-
countered under conditions particularly
trying to equine nerves.
The marked reduction which has been
made in the noise produced by late mo-
tor vehicles and the uniformity in ap-
pearance of modern machines have
tended to bring about the improved
conditions here noted With the pass
ing away of the generation of horses
which bore the brunt of the horseless
invasion. and the consequent exposure
Of all horses from the colt stage to in
crrlsnig familiarity with motor cars.
ii is probable that the situation will
greatly improve, although equine fear
for things mechanical may be too much
a matter of racial inheritance TO be
eliminated in generation or two.
Horse buyers are almost universally
demanding animals which are broken
to automobiles, and horse breeders are
undoubtedly turning their attention to
solution Of the difficulty. Conditions,
though bad enough in certain districts,
are in general sufficiently improved,
and country touring is rendered mucn
so more safe and pleasant as to call
for brief comment.
