Descriere The Mule - A Treatise on the Breeding, Training, and Uses to Which He May Be Put - Harvey Riley

In 1867 Harvey Riley was Superintendent of the government corral in Washington D C. In the preface Riley states: There is no more useful or willing animal than the Mule. And perhaps there is no other animal so much abused, or so little cared for. Popular opinion of his nature has not been favorable; and he has had to plod and work through life against the prejudices of the ignorant. Still, he has been the great friend of man, in war and in peace serving him well and faithfully. If he could tell man what he most needed it would be kind treatment. We all know how much can be done to improve the condition and advance the comfort of this animal; and he is a true friend of humanity ho does what he can for his benefit. My object in writing this book was to do what I could toward working out a much needed reform in the breeding, care, and treatment of these animals. Riley covers such topics as breaking, breeding injuries, packing, young colts, andincludes portraits of famous mules.
