When two horse traders meet, professionals or amateurs, the amenities haye observed. By unwritten law sucly topics as the. weather, crops, state, 'and national politics are discussed or cussed. Then by to 'be local, slow and. circuitous paths the subject of horses is brought up. The farmer is never especially interested in trading, Not according to his say-so. He has thought of it, yes.
