GOOD HORSE BUYING POINT
Animal Should Not Have Too Much
Daylight Between Hind Legs-lts
Main Pulling Strength.
BY c. MILLER.


Father taught me one rule about
buying a horse which l have always
observed and I find it works out right
every time. He said never buy a
horse that shows too much daylight
between his hind legs-that is if he
seems to be split up too high you may
hs sure that he lacks power A
horses main pulling strength comes
from his hind legs and back and he
should be low on the ground. He also
taught me never to buy horse which
had the tendency to stand on the
toes of his hind feet because such
horses will invariably go stiff and
lame N time. A good draft horse must
stand aat on the ground. His feet
must be large and his legs fat and his
muscles supple.

hooks, he was monkeying with the
buzZ-saw. At fifteen he had invented
and made rotary engine. One day
the notion struck him that he'd like
10 help Uncle Sam out in the navy.
So he took shot at the examinations
and scored a hit, landing a Job as as

for duty the Civil war had broken out.
He enlisted in the Twelfth New York
National Guard. re-enlisted later in
the cavalry, and finally turned up on
the high seas as an engineer on the
gunboats Musccota and the Stars and
Stripes.
After Gettysburg was fought and
won. his thirst for more education
landed him in Union college. Two
years there were enough for him. The
magic of machinery called him away
from the academic life, and he found
happiness again by taking up his old
work in his fathers factory. 1t was
while working there that he invented
the air brake. Railroad managers who
first jeered at his idea Of stopping a
train with wind" had to eat humble
crow. In short time the invention
was in universal use and had reyo.
