A Good IIoiuk. Wind, says an old
horseman, Is tho great secret of a fast
horse. Good lungs will cover a multi
tude of faults, while, on the other
hand, perfection of shape and form aro
useless when the wind li out. The
chest, therefore, lu all cases, should bo
large and spacious. It may vary some
what In shape, according to tho service
to which tho horso is to bo put. If ho
is apt to lie kopt for slow work and
heavy drawing, the chest may bo near
ly circular In form, because this shape
Is ono for strength and bulk to receive
and bear up against tho pressure of tho
collar, while at the same tlmo sutllclent
room Is secured for tho ex pa slon of
tho lungs caused by slow, reuular work.
Hut If tho chest Is circular let It bo at
the samo tlmo deep, or elso tho lunirs
may ho emuped. A horso with a shal
low cho.it Is worthless for any purpose.
Tlio rule, then Is: 1'or a draft horso, a
circular but deep cheat; but as you pass
through the dilleront degrees of f-pced
up to tho racer and trotter, tho chest
will Increase In depth, compared tolls
roundness, until fur thu highest rate
of speed you must take a chest as deep
as a grayhound, and at tho. samo tlmo
