producing of varieties. No other type of horse can be moulded so 

 quickly into other self-sustaining ones. Attempts with other of man's 

 created forms can produce sub-varieties, only as the one same plastic 

 affinity blood of the Arabian be intensified in the product, through 

 union in the parents; but this requires greater time, with more uncer- 

 tain results ; and one may well exclaim, " Life is too short for the ex- 

 periment." Moreover, through such subdivision attempts by man new 

 disorders, mental and physical, are caused, through a violation of Na- 

 ture's (God's) laws. Our greatest results are through a close relation 

 to the ever self-sustaining, primitive blood, or positive God-power in an 

 original type. 



Let me cite different types of horses as we may know them to be a 

 result of man's work ; keeping in mind as we write or read that the 

 executioner, prejudice, stands always ready to dispute what it cannot 

 understand, and to kill ! 



Now, refer to the transcript introduced a few pages back, from the 

 largest paper of the kind in the world, the London " Farm, Field, and 

 Garden." That transcript is of authentic records, and by them we 

 know the English thoroughbred race-horse was a direct product from 

 Arabian blood, through repeated resort to it ; and that the English 

 thoroughbred race-horse was not indigenous to that country, which 

 very many otherwise intelligent men in this country devoted to race- 

 horses make superficial horse-fanciers and breeders believe. 



Now again, this English race-horse was produced to run races, and 

 for no other purpose. His mental and physical whole was rigidly 

 moulded by man, from the Arabian, into what he is to-day ; and to 

 ntain these qualities to their highest excellence, he is by law inbred to 

 his own blood. 



When at last he had become a self-sustaining type, he was named 

 " the English thoroughbred race-horse," and recognized as their " na- 

 tional horse," devoted exclusively to their national sport of running 

 races ; and as chance, or gambling, is one of the prominent instincts 

 of man, this horse became exclusively a gambling horse ; hence the 

 national sporting laws demanded that he be consecutively inbred to his 

 own blood. Bitt one blood could be introduced as legitimate and 

 proper, and that was of God's horse, — the Arabian, or primitive. 



When this English thoroughbred horse was of no value to run races 

 for money, it was necessary to dispose of him at some price. His phys- 

 ical adaptability and high-strung nervous organization rendered him 

 unfit for the yeoman, so he was put to stage-coach uses; but here he
