THE MUSTANG. 581 by permitting it to become sour, and then stirring the curd and milk violently with a large stick untO it is forced into a homogeneous mass. From the same substance the Tartars make a fermented liquid. These Horses are very strong and hardy, and the breed is preserved in good condition by the custom which prevails among the Tartars of killing and fating the defective or weak foals, and preserving the strong and healthy for use. Being brought up with the family, the Tartar Horse is very gentle and familiar with its owners. When they are only a few months of age they are ridden by the children, but never backed by a man until they are five or six years old. They are then, however, severely treated, being forced to travel for several consecutive days, and to endure great privations of hunger and MUSTANG. Anotjiki: well known example of the Wild Horse is the Mustang of the American prairies. This animal is congregated into vast herds, which are always under the guardianship of a single leader, who is able, in some wonderful manner, to convey his orders to all his sub- verts simultaneously. Although surrounded by various enemies, such as the puma, the wolf, and the jaguar, they care little for these ravenous and powerful carnivora, trusting in their united strength to save them from harm. There is no animal that will dare to lace a troop of Wild Horses, which often entice the domesticated animals into their ranks, and cany them exultingly into the free plains. The Mustang is always a strong and a. useful animal, and is much sought after as a saddle-horse. To capture these wild creatures is a very difficult matter, and is generally managed by the help of the lasso, although the rifle is sometimes called into requisition in difficult cases. This latter plan, technically called "creasing," is never employed but by very accurate mark
