Nova Seotia's Sheep Industry.

The sheep industry in Nova Scotia

horse extraordinary endurance Is sus-
tained by abundant evidence. II. X.
Bush Brown, who presents the case
Tor the Arab In the Journal Of Heredi.
q, offers an explanation Of the extra
vrdfnary endurance Of animals of this
breed based In part on the fact that
the Arab has only five lumbar verte-
brae fbetween the ribs and the pelvis)
while all other families of horses have
SIX. This difference in structure is
believed to explain why the Arab,
though small. can carry great weight.
The anomaly illustrates the relation
