continual worry and fighting of flies. If the man who 

 caused the tail to be docked could have seen the horse in 

 his present condition he would have regretted the part he 

 took in it, if he had any feeling of compassion. Let every 

 man remember who cuts off a horse's tail, cuts off not only 

 the hair, but also the stump of the tail, that another stump 

 will not grow in its place, and that the horse will be prac- 

 tically tailless the rest of his life. Horses were given tails 

 because they need them, and it ought to be a crime, punish- 

 able by law, to mutilate a horse at the command of a soul- 

 less god-fashion.
