This in the most probable explanation, not only of the occasional occurrence of hornless individual stags, but of the differences between the antlers of different species, for there is no reason to believe that the special character of the antler in each species is adapted to a special mode of fighting in each species.
But Clare was the stronger; and Tommy knew that, when Clare was roused, though it was not easy to rouse him, he could and would and did fight not, indeed, as the little coward said to himself he could fight, like a wild cat, but like a blundering hornless old cow defending her calf from a cur.
The effect of this hardy cross had apparently all been bred out, save for an added stamina in the resulting stock, which was uniformly white and hornless.
O bearded goat, thou mate of the white herd, and O ye blunt-faced kids, where are the manifold deeps of the forest, thither get ye to the water, for thereby is Milon; go, thou hornless goat, and say to him, 'Milon, Proteus was a herdsman, and that of seals, though he was a god. Daphnis. . . . Menalcas.
"Not on this circuit, I guess," said he, "nor yet in Campbell's circuit." "Campbell's circuit pray, sir, what is that?" "That," said he, "is the western and Lampton rides the shore circuit; and as for the people on the shore, they know so little of horses that, Lampton tells me, a man from Aylesford once sold a hornless ox there, whose tail he had cut and nicked for a horse of the goliah breed."
Among the earlier importations into this country were also several varieties of hornless cattle, which have been kept measurably distinct in some sections; or where they have been crossed with the common stock there has been a tendency to produce hornless grades. These are not unfrequently known as "buffalo cattle."
Even the bulls were at that season weak, and of course hornless, with small desire to fight; and in each case the rush of the great bear doubtless made with the ferocity and speed which so often belie the seeming awkwardness of the animal bore down the startled victim, taken utterly unawares before it had a chance to defend itself.
In the horned Dorsets, we must suppose that both males and females carry a dual factor for horns technically, are homozygous for horns. The hornless Suffolks, on the contrary, are homozygous for absence of horns. If we represent horns by H and absence of horns by A, Dorsets have a factor HH, Suffolks AA and the hybrids HA.
Then, one day, he made a great discovery. He found that new horns were sprouting to take the place of those that he had lost! "Now I can have some mock battles again when my horns get long enough," he thought. And then he stopped short. What if the Spike Horns of the year before had no more horns? If they were hornless they certainly wouldn't care to take part in any mock battles.
