While, as already stated, the bones arc the frame-work of the animal, the covering of the bones, viz : the sinews, muscles, nerves, membranes, etc., are really what constitute the motive power of the aniin;'!. With the nerves and membranes wo shall have little to do ; their study will not be necessary to a correct understanding of the value of a horse to the farmer, breeder, or buyer. The bony and muscular development being perfect, and the digestive a[)paratus, the viscera, and all that pertains there- to, being nerves and incnibranes maybe taken for granted as being in good order.

This we have most carefully illustrated on the next page by a cut, show- ing the entire figure of the horse with the principal nmscles laid l)are.
