The same principle applies to the other brands of farm stock. They one and all yield the best results when their health and comforts are best looked after.
The horses were like playful, fearless children with him, and Jess was bursting with pride at the result of his handiwork. And certainly, it was worth looking upon, for no finer specimens of faultlessly groomed horseflesh could have been found in the land. "Yes, but think of the figure I'll be cutting when I take my young ladies for a turn in the park or on the havenue," protested Dawson.
"I am willing to bear my share of the expense, but Merwell won't put up a cent. He doesn't go in for improvements." "He seems to like good horseflesh," remarked Phil. "That was one of his best mounts. His horses aren't half as good as those we have; eh, Todd?" "No better bosses in these parts than those at the Star," answered the cowboy.
"If I were to tell you it would get about, and the men would not touch it." "You can trust me. Out with it." "There's lots of fresh meat to be got in the camp by those who know where to look for it.

A slander, old in circulation in Lucien's time, connected the appearance of beef-steaks with a mortality among horseflesh.
