 may then sit by on a truss of sweet hay in some 

 empty stall, and chat with a friend, or take stock of 

 the human creature in turn, as it drifts by in varied 

 shades of character and colour. To enable you, 

 however, to gain the primary idea of a good animal, 

 that is to underlie the superstructure of your future 

 more intimate acquisitions, draw a straight line, A D, 

 of any length you please. Divide it into thirds 

 at B and C. Let drop at right angles to A D, A H, of 

 any length. Through B draw B G, at an angle of 45° 

 to AD. This indicates the central line of a perfect 

 shoulder. Just before your pen reaches the line A H, 

 arrest it and mark off E by a line E p parallel to A D, 

 and vertical to the junction of shoulder-blade and 

 humerus. Draw p m central line of humerus at 

 right angles to B G. Cut off A F = 4 A E and complete 

 the parallelogram A F F D. Drop down for length of 

 leg of pig m N = ^r : f° r sheep and cow m N' = ^ : 

 for horse m n" = A F up to (a f + V).
