Sentiment finds a donspicuous place in horse liter­ ature. To read what men have written in praise of this "noblest of animals," one would suppose that other animate were of little importance. It is true that the world could get along better without any other animal than it could without the horse. But all our animals are very useful. Yet it is a fact that the horse appeals to us for more sym­ pathy and consideration than any other of our domestic animals. The horse is a beast of burden. It is condemned to a life of toil. It works when we work and very Often when we do not. It walks when we ride, and it is often abused outrageously.' A recent writer said that the horse seems to be haunted by the demon of labor and fatigue almost from his earliest years, and generally increas­ ing to the hour of his death--to be haunted by a demon whose power to torment seems to increase as the horse becomes older and more worn. If any animal deserves, as a reward for services to man, and sis a compensation for days, weeks and years of abuse; if any animal deserves a tranquil future,1 a glorious pasturage traversed by never-failing crystal streams of water, surely that animal must be the horse.
