Some men have an eye for one thing and some for another, but I think
if I have a weakness it is to fancy that I have an eye for a good pair
of horses, and for a straight line. When I see a line I can judge if
it has been ploughed straight, and then I can judge whether the
ploughman has had too much. Of course, that sort of thing never
happens at a ploughing match, but still it is as well to be on the
look-out.
