TREATMENT OF LIVE STOCK
Importance of Creating Good Tempera.
ment In Farm Animals Should
Never Be Underrated.

Horses, and, in fact, all domestic
animals are very much more impress
sionable than they are generally sup
posed to be. Cattle which have had
a kind master, NAH of gentle but
firm nature, show the effect of their
associations as a breed or strain
Years of good treatment not only
make an impression on the individuals,
but are impressed with such force as
to become a breed characteristic. In
short, a keen Judge can tell pretty
nearly what sort of association horse
has had by his temperament.
The Importance Of creating good
temperament In a trotting or pacing
horse should not be moderated. The
horse with good temperament will
do more work and do it better than
one which has not got well balanced
temperament.
