All the knots and uneven places in the
body are filled with putty before this
is done, so that the horse is ready for
it's skin or it's paint.
There is an aristocracy in the rock
ing horse world. These have skins
They are the nobility of their species.
The skins are usually fawn or dark
brown or a red that is something like
the color of a Durham COW. Such rock
ing horses can't be had for IS or
$40 note, They cost from s1T to $50
Their skin is grated on. That is
to say. 1t once belonged to the young
of the COW species-it Is skunk calf"
as the trade calls 1t. And this sort of
skin is necessarily scarce. The entire
output of the largest cattle dealer in
New Hampshire is not sufficient to
supply one big toy factory.
The skin is stretched tightly over
the wooden body of the horse and
elaborately edged saddle cloth goes
on. the saddle and bride, with the
curb bit and jaunty decorations follow.
Then come the name and the tail.
Now these are of real hair. Usually,
they are gray in color, dashed with
brown and black, as becomes a spirited
thoroughbred. Sometimes they are
black. Waving and flowing, they make
a fine young rocking horse look like a
charger scenting the battle and wait
ing eagerly for the trumpets. But, alas
for the source of many of our proudest
possessions. They were once the tails
of cows but they've been cleaned
thoroughly, made entirely sanitary and
touched up.

children. Some people have called 1t
"dapple gray"
If the horse doesn't fit tightly into
his rockers he is given shoes. These,
too, are made in the factory, right
from the rough metal to the last polish
ing. A great many of the modern
rocking horses are mounted on swing
ing rockers with their feet free as
though they were in flight.
1t Is something OF a trick to make the
rockers. Only the finest OF wood would
stand the strain. and each piece has to
be put in sort OF a mould to be
shaped in the steaming chamber. This
operation takes about five hours When
the rockers are dried they retain the
shape given them by the heavy moulds

Never before in the annals Of the

in saying that il should not be left Ia
