24 Domestic ANIMALS. 
A badly formed horse is not profitable for any purpose; 
because, if so formed, they are either clumsy, inactive, dull 
in mind, or tender and easily broken down. It costs just ag 
much to breed, raise, and keep a poor horse as a good one, and 
the poor one is low in value and unsalable; besides, he is un- 
able to do good service in any sphere, or to endure. 
We copy from Lavater six heads of horses, which indicate 
Fig. 7. different temperaments and a great 
diversity of character and disposition. 
The accompanying remarks are from 
the American Phrenological Jour- 
Se nal : 
“Fig. 7 has a slow, heavy temper- 
ament; is without spirit, awkward in 
motion, lazy, stupid in intellect, diffi- 
§ = cult to teach, bears the whip and 
needs it, though it is soon forgotten. He is too lazy to hold up 
his ears or under lip, and is a 
regular hog-necked, heavy-footed 
animal. 
“Fig. 8 has more intelligence 
and spirit, a more active temper- 
ament, and is disposed to anger, (¢ 
will not bear the whip, and shows & 
his anger, when teased or irritated, 
in a bold, direct onset with the 
teeth. 
“Fig. 9 is a very active temperament; is a quick, keen, 
Fig. 9. active, intelligent animal, but is sly, 
Z cunning, mischievous, and trickish; 
will be hard to catch in the field, in- 
clined to slip the bridle, will be a great 
shirk in double harness, and will re- 
quire a sharp eye and steady hand to 
drive him, and will want something 
besides a frolicsome boy for a master.”
