Horse Phrenology.
According to Harold Ijeeney, a memf ber o* the Royal College of Veterinary 1 Surgeons of England, it is easy to tell ( a horse's character by the shape of his ; nose. If there is a gentle curve to the j profile and at the same time the ears are pointed and sensitive, it is safe to ; depend on the animal as gentle and at ; the same time high spirited. If, on * the other hand, the hone has a dent in ; the middle of his nose, it is equally i safe to set him down as treacherous and vicious. The Roman nosed horse I is sure to be a good animal for hard work and safe to drive but he is apt to be slow. A horse with a slight concavity in the profile will be scary and need coaxing. A horse that droops his ears is apt to be lazy as well as vicious.
