SLEEPING WHILE STANDING

People often express wonder
at the quiet way horses stand
often motionless for hours in one
position. They do not realize
what complete relaxation is OBJ
tanned and how common it is for
horses to obtain virtually all
their rest and sleep while stand
ing. Stablemen have said that
the short time a horse does lie
down is usually around midnight.
1t is a well-lnown fact that ele-
plants have an acute fear of
mice. and the mere presence of
one in their hay will cause an
entire herd to raise their trunks
in the air, showing that they are
afraid the small rodent will
scamper up the proboscis. So il
is often contended that horses
possess this same fear of mice
and insects. and so obtain their
rest and sleep largely while
standing. The trait is more
marked in some animals than in
others. and is one Of the most in
applicable habits of our domestic
animals.
