To say that man buys or sells a
horse with intelligence implies that the
man knows the horse in every detail.

U. s. Department of Agriculture, gives
these details. This bulletin may be
secured from the Division of Exten-

vile.
Among the suggestions made in this
bulletin are these:
The soundness of horse is one OF
the first considerations of the buyer
and should be of the breeder. If the
animal is not sufficiently sound to with.
stand the use for which he is intended,
the logical time to learn of this is be
fore the purchase.
Selections must be based primarily
on thorough, systematic eXamina
ton; the examination should be based
on a clear knowledge of desirable anc
undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound
ness, but also the condition or seri
business of the unsoundness, should d.
noted.
