 his virtues and his vices, how to improve the one and how to correct the other ; how to FEED 

 him, GROOM him, DOCTOR him; how to BIT him, SADDLE him, HARNESS him; of the 

 CARRIAGES he draws, and the men and women he carries ; how to RIDE him, and how to 

 DRIVE him ; how to BUY him ; and, indirectly, how to SELL him."

 in a straight course, both as regards where to purchase, and how to treat and ride a horse when 

 bought. The book is replete with the most useful information on equine lore." — Live Stock Journal.
