Large horses are more liable tn stumbta and be lamt tan those nf the mid dle sits. The are ttuinsy, and timet fill! themselves so quick. Overgrown animals of all descriptions, are less h;trdv tlmn tliooe of a(siniiller size. If theorj is to be resorted to in order to determine such, questions, we sug gest to the lovers of overgrown animals the following: -? The largest animals of this class are of un natural growth. They have risen above the usual mrk, and it costs more to keep them in position than it would were they on a le vel with their species. Follow nature," is a rule not to be forgotten by farmers. Lnrge men are not the best for business; large hogs are not the Imga to fatten best; and large hens are not the best to lay eggs. Extremes are to be avoided. Ve want well-formed animals rather thn such as have large bones Odd as it niiiv be to the theorist, short-legged Mildirrs are better on the march, and oflicers sar they endure hardship longer than those ol longer limbs.' On choosing a horse, tike care by all means that his legs are abort, if they aie.long, and split apart like a pair of dividers, never inquire the price of the deal er. Make no oiler. lid. t'urmer.
