HOW TO MAKE IVTONET BY HORSES. 197 



enough. The breeder is a good judge in his way : 

 he breeds fine horses, and sells them ; but it in no 

 way follows that he is a good judge of the purpose 

 each animal he breeds is most calculated for ; this he 

 leaves to the persons who purchase what he has 

 bred, who probablj^, in their turn, know nothing 

 about breeding. The hunting-dealer, living in the 

 country, selects those most fit for hunting purposes ; 

 the London man, those who, by their action, are cal- 

 culated to sell there : thus, each man, in his way, 

 selects such as, in his hands, are likely to make 

 money. It is well for the breeder that it is so, for 

 though, by great care, attention, and management, 

 he produces a certain number of fine animals, he 

 cannot insure each possessing similar action, attri- 

 butes, or, indeed, looks ; for instance, he may breed 

 one singularly handsome, but with, at best, very mo- 

 derate action, while, on the other hand, another may 

 be in no way prepossessing in appearance, but evi- 

 dently shewing indications of very superior capabili- 

 ties ; so, take them altogether, they find purchasers, 

 from each man having a difi'erent pursuit to employ 

 them in.
