which horses as well as humans have to 
pass. Then again this love of home is 
shown in the “homing instinct” of 
horses. ^ ou can take a horse twenty 
miles away from home on a road over 
which he has never previously gone. 
1 he moment his head turns homeward, 
though it be over an entirely different 
road than the outward journey the horse 
knows it and shows it by a renewal of 
spirit and a quickening of gait. To he 
sure some horses have more intelligence 
and more character than others. The 
Morgan possesses both these qualities 
preeminently; indeed the horses in the 
world may be divided into classes rank¬ 
ing in various grades from the “fool 
horse” at the bottom to the Morgan 
horse at the top. These characteristics 
are invaluable in a country place where 
women and children use horses. The 
Morgan horse is safe. There may have 
been Morgan rogues but I never saw 
one. 
Here is one more point in their favor. 
They are unusually healthy. Every 
horse owner knows what a comfort it is 
to have an animal that is always ready 
for his work. Several years ago when I 
was in Addison county, Vermont, buy¬ 
ing horses for the Government it was 
necessary, according to instructions from 
Washington, to have each horse exam¬ 
ined by a veterinary surgeon before 
finally accepting him. There was not a 
veterinary in the county, which is the 
chief Morgan breeding section of the 
State. That is testimony that needs no 
addition. 
At the present time fine specimens of 
the Morgan type cannot be purchased 
cheaply. Indeed no good horses are low 
in price. But cheap horses of any kind 
are likely to be disappointing. The 
first cost of a horse even though it be 
from $700 to $1000 is not a matter of 
great consequence when the cost of keep¬ 
ing a horse is taken into consideration. 
The keep is the real cost and I have al¬ 
ways been surprised that men with a 
sense for economy would pay the keep 
of cheap and inferior animals. I am 
sure it is the poorest economy. Then 
again the usefulness of the Morgan by 
reason of his longevity does not begin to 
diminish just as you have become at¬ 
tached to him. He lasts a long time 
and is generally as good at twenty as he 
was at eight and better than he was at 
five. For country gentlefolk I cannot 
recommend this type too highly.
