Horse breeding has been followed
as a trade ever since animals were
first domesticated, but the studv of
types has only quite recently been
taken up by men of science with a
view of ascertaining the origin of the
species and to differentiate their
characteristics. As a result of this
study, based upon these anatomical
differences and variations which have
resulted from wide geographical dis
tribution, and which probably origin
ated in early geographical times, it
may be accepted that there are four
families or species of horses.
The first type in this classification
is the Celtic horse, found on the west
coast of Norway, known as the Fjord

horse in Iceland, Faeroe, Barra, and
other, small islands of the outer
Hebrides in northern Scotland, on
the Shetland Isles, and in Connemara
or northern Ireland. There has also
been found a close kinship between
the Celtic horse and the true Tarpan
horse of Russia.
The second type of horses is the
Prejevalsky, found in a wild state on
the steppes of central Asia. There
are a few of these in England on the
estate of the duke of Bedford, and
several specimens are being bred in
the New York zoological gardens.
The Prejevalsky horse is of a red
brown color with a light "mealy"
nose, has a large head in proportion
to his body, and is "cat hamed," and
less powerful than the Celtic horse.
Some writers have assumed that the
Tarpan and the Prejevalsky horses
belong to the same family, but this
is not now accepted, on account of
their marked differences, the most
conspicuous of which is that the
Prejevalsky has the callosities on his
hind legs. In this family it usually
takes the form of a narrow strip and
not drop-shaped as Is common with
other horses. There has been a sug
gestion that this little horse only
12 hands high, is the living ex
ample of the original ancestor of the
draft horses of Europe, but it seems
highly improbable, inasmuch as fossils
of the draft type have been found
showing its great antiquity, and I am

more inclined to believe that these big
types are a species by themselves and
shall call this family the third type.
This horse Is known to science as the
Forest horse, because he originally ob
tained his food by browsing on shrubs
and low trees.
The Arab or African horse forms
the fourth type in our classification.
His food is the grasses that grow on
the ground, and his home has always
been the open plains and hillsides re
mote from forests. Therefore his head
is articulated on his cervical vertebra
at an obtuse angle, thus forming
'Hogarth's line of beauty." This set
of the head has long been recognized
by breeders as a constituent element
of beauty. H. K. Bush-Brown, in
American Breeder's Magazine.

Raise More Live Stock.
An exchange points out that our
farmers should raise more live stock
if they expect to keep up the fertility
of their soils. In Germany there is
one head of live stock for each 3.6
acres of land; in Denmark one for
4 acres; in France one for 4.3 acres;
in England one for 5.3 acres, but in
the United States it takes 12.1 acres
to support one head of live stock. If
we are to keep down the cost of liv
ing we must keep more live stock per
acre and farm our lands better.
