SECOND EDITION. 
KEVISED AND ENLARGED. 
Origin, History, Improvement, Description, Character¬ 
istics, Merits, Objections, Adaptability, etc., of each Breed, 
with Data regarding its Registry Association, Scale of 
Points, When Used, etc. 
The Hints on Selection, Care and Mangement are supple¬ 
mented by letters from well-known and successful breeders 
of the United States and Canada, each giving his actual 
methods of handling, breeding and feeding. 
THK SECOND EDITION has been carefully i)rei)ared 
by the author, the text thoroughly revised, brought down to 
date, numerous additions made, and many valuable sug¬ 
gestions from competent stockmen and instructors in animal 
husbandry have been elaborated. The chapter on “ Selec¬ 
tion of the Horse for Speed,” is now especially complete, 
the author having embodied therein a carefully prepared 
“ Study in Animal Physics,” regarding 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 illus¬ 
trated with striking drawings of the fore and hind legs of a 
horse, which are supplemented by carefully compiled 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 especially 
prepared to serve in place of a glossary of technical terms 
In describing parts of each of the four different main divi¬ 
sions of domestic animals. In fact. It Is believed that noth¬ 
ing 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. _
