I saw but one horse in Liberia, and that on the Gaudilla farm of Mr. Anderson; and though, as the Liberians themselves informed me, they havebeen taken there by the Mandingo and Golah traders, they never lived. And why--if they live in other parts of Africa, on the western coast, which they do, even near the _Mangrove swamps_, as will hereafter beshown--do they not live in Liberia, the civilized settlements of whichas yet, except on the St. Paul and at Careysburg, are confined to thecoast? Ther...e are certainly causes for this, which I will proceed toshow.
Horse Feed, Pasturage, Hay In the first place, horses, like all other animals, must have feednaturally adapted to their sustenance. This consists mainly of grass, herbage, and grains, especially the latter when the animal isdomesticated. Secondly, adequate shelter from sun and weather, as in thewild state by instinct they obtain these necessary comforts forthemselves.
No Cultivated Farms--No Shelter for Horses Up to the time, then, when the Liberians ceased the experiment ofkeeping horses, they had not commenced in any extensive manner tocultivate farms, consequently did not produce either maize (Indiancorn), Guinea corn (an excellent article for horses in Africa, resembling the American broom corn both in the stock, blade, and grain, the latter being larger and browner than those of the broom corn, andmore nutritious than oats); peas, nor any other grain upon which thoseanimals are fed, and the great, heavy, rich, rank, pseudo reed-grass ofthe country was totally unfit for them, there being no grass suitedeither for pasturage or hay.
