Look for shoe boil on the elbow,
or upper extremity of the front leg.
These are really blemishes rather than
unsoundness, the same being true of
wind puffs found just above tho
ankles.
Above all be sure the feet are per-
feet. The saying, mo foot no horse"
is a true one.
Be sure there are no quarter cracks
in the hoof. Let the heel be fairly
high and the foot well cupped, which
means that it should have concavc

cred harder than white one, although
there are many white hoofs which
wear well.
Lastly, take a position behind the
animal and notice his hips. They
should be exactly alike in outline
See that the tail is carried straight.
Like the shoe boil and the wind puff
this is only a blemish but detracts
somewhat from the animals value

After all these instructions have
been followed out go back to the head
and look him over on the other side.
There are many little tricks Or
characteristics certain horses have, as
well as peculiarities of disposition,
which can only be discovered by use.
The above, however, will enable the
buyer to detect actual soundness if
it exists.

EXAMINING A HORSE.
How One May Judge of the Animals
Soundness.

These are the instructions of a
noted horseman published by the
Prairie Farmer.
The first thing for a prospective
purchaser to do in examining horse
for soundness is to walk up in front
of him and see th1t he has a bright,
cheerful eye. Then step around at
once side and look through the eyes
to see if any defect is noticeable from
that point of view. Sometimes there
is a cataract or scar upon the ball
or pupil that is visible only from the
side. The cataract, in it's earlier
stages, will apear like a small white
spot on the pupil in its earlier stage.
Next look in the mouth to deter
mine age; also to see that the teeth
shut together evenly. Avoid an an

remarked coroner at Shrewsbury,

coroner said they might publish it as
much as they liked; it was quite true.

ringbone is bony enlargement just

substance more or less perceptible. A
thoroughpin is located directly in the
hook joint and is known by a small
puff in the skin on opposite sides. BY
pressing the finger over the spot on
the outside it may be felt on the in
side of the leg, and vice versa. In
later stages it becomes hardened.
To one familiar with handling
horses it is not even necessary to pass
the hand over the different parts to
detect these evidences of unsoundness,

Homer Arbogast ran to his side and

its fangs in the boys leg, was beaten
off by the older brother, and then.
with rare presence of mind, he tied
the injured limb with cord to prevent
the circulation of the poison through
the body. AS quickly as possible the
boy was taken to a physician. and.
thanks to the forethought of the
courageous brother. he stands a slight
chance of recovery.
The little boy, Brown Arbogast, aged
ten years, was going through the

this country, escorted by the kachella
Of 70 and his horsemen, it was heav-

march from Yo. The Mobburs opened
the attack by flights of poisoned ar
rows. while the Tubu horsemen
charged on the tanks, cutting off num-
bers Of the hocks OF the caravan,
which spread over two miles of road
and numbered roo people and nearly
1000 cattle.
With the loss of IL men and 30
horses killed, the kachella, who had

break we moved out of town, prepared

splendid to see the kachella, a man
over six feet in height, mount his
horse and receive the homage of his
warriors. First came troops of ar

shook their bows at him; then the
horsemen, clad in cloaks ornamented
with patches Of color, upon horses
dressed in thick arrow-proof coats,
came on in line and raising their
spears above their heads formed
round him.
