I. Frame Work the Index of Value.
A close and comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the animals of the farm, is of the first importance to every person who breeds, rears, or buys them, with a view to profit from their sale. In the case of the horse it is especially necessary that this study be carefully made, since, in the perfection of the several parts, constituting solidity and fineness of bone, a firm and complete muscular development, large, healthy lungs, and the highest state of normal activity of the digestive organs, lies the real value of this most useful of the servants of man. The owner or purchaser must also know distinctly what an animal is intended for, and should select him with special reference to the service required, whether it be for special work, for trotting, racing, road-driving, light or heavy draft, or for what is termed general utility. With reference to these several uses the bony structure of the animal is of the first importance, since it is the skeleton upon which all else is built. Without a knowledge of the bones, the situation of the muscles cannot be accurately determined, or their actions, in connection with the several parts, to which they are attached, and especially their action on the limbs be definitely understood.
II. Master the Details of the Skeleton.
Hence we must first master the details of the bony structure. Next the muscles may be studied, and from this we may easily understand the minute but important action of the several parts as a whole. While the ordinary observer will be altogether misled, in estimating the value of an animal from his outward appearance and movements, he who has carefully studied the physical proportions with the eye of a careful anatomist will quickly and accurately understand the true value of the animal from the relation of the several parts one with another. For these habits of accurate observation will readily detect, in the living horse, the true character of the bony structure, and especially of the muscular system, which covers and envelops it. In order to make the bony structure plain to the reader it is here shown by diagrams or object lessons, since this is the most graphic, and at the same time the most accurate, method of presenting information of this kind. To make our object lesson still more easy we give in the engraving, not only the frame-work, but this resting on or shown against a
