TIIE SRCONI) EDITION has been carefully pre¬ 
pared by the author, the text thorougt ly revised, brought 
down to date, numerous additions trade, and many val¬ 
uable suggestions from competent stcckmen ana instruc¬ 
tors In animal husbandry have been elaborated. The 
chapter on Selection of the Horse for Speed,” is now 
especially complete, the author having embodied therein 
a carefully prepared “ study In Animal Physics,” regard¬ 
ing which the Galveston (Tex.) Dally News says: 
“This Is a careful scientific consideration of the mechan¬ 
ical construction of the modern trotting horse. It Is 
illustrated with striking drawings of the fore and hind 
legs of a horse, which are sunpiemented by carefully com¬ 
piled ratios of lengths of the various parts. This is a 
valuable paper for horse owners. ’ 
All the new breeds established, or brought before the 
public since the first edition was published, have been 
given proper place, and Important data regarding these 
and many old breeds incorporated. 
Engravings, with explanatory text, have been especi¬ 
ally prepared to serve In place of a glossary of technical 
terms In describing parts of each of the four different main 
divisions of domestic animals. In fact, it Is believed that 
nothing has been left undone which would tend to Increase 
the usefulness of the new edition, or render it of greater 
value to the student of animal husbandry, whether In the 
class room or on the farm.
