 The fiiBt remtrk I wish to ni«k« »• tbtt I 
 maT b« diitmotly undfnitood inwhat I am about to write, which I am per- 
 ■uaded, beyond a doubt, will prove a crowning Mcceaa, if not derjated from. 
 
 3ln regard to elevatlof; the imffering of man and beaat, and haat^niDit the 
 Riiioh ne«<led i-eform. in the obscure po«iMon which many of my fellowBaorUi* 
 are occupying, with their noblest wrvaDt the horw. 
 
 CAREUINS TBI H0R8I. 
 
 There are no two homes with habits and dUpoaitions prwjisely alike ; yet 
 whilst there are no two alike, there are oerUin thingt that affect all horsee 
 alike. When you pat and carea the horse, you say to him that whaUjer 
 he is doing is right. You have only to get the ho.se to kick at you, and then 
 nam him for it, and he will do it again when you ask hm, for be tliinka that 
 it is right, and what you want, him to do ; so neTsr careas the horse until he haa 
 done what you went him, and then new fail to caress and encourage hire. 
 You cannot teach the horse a single word of the English language, or any other 
 hnguHRe, without » sign. That is, you must either show him, or force hw 
 body to more. A forced move of the horse's body is a sign to him, and is 
 equivalent in his mind to a willing move, if you only assure him by careasing 
 immediately afterwards, that bo lias dono what you wanted him to do. 
 
 OBKOIZNCE TO TH» WORD Or COMMA :»D. 
 
 From the time you commence to educate the horse until you have his eduea- 
 tion completed, you mubt not ask him to do anything unless you sre in a 
 position to force obedience, so that you can prove satisfactorily to his mind, that 
 hemustobcy the word of command, and cannot help himself. When he haa 
 perfectly obeyed the word without being forced, then do not fail to caress hira 
 immediately, for this, while it assuros him of the important fact, that what h* 
 has done is right, it also proves to him that you are his best friend. Ihat mo- 
 ment he ia yours, and he will love you, and take delight in obeying you. 
 
 ■ ■ LOVM AFD TABU OBLIOBT I« OBKTIHO TOO. 
 
 Why does he lore you, and Uke delight in obeying you t Simply ^"^ 
 Tou have oocuiiied the position that you forced obedience, and he eoald not he p 
 himself; then, after heperftectly obeyet* *he word of command, yon immediately 
 carMicd him, which proved to him thr u were his best friend.

 BION or SUt. SION. 
 
 The aiffn of a horse having yielded, and Ijecome willing to dt what you ask 
 WM*W» submUively, is that he will relax the muscifls of every pari of hi* Doay.

 PlMM Uk« Dotic« of what you «i« reading, and bear io mind that all of aif tv*. 
 tarn of hor«,maii8hip depends alone upon the iniporUnt fact, that when too oon-

 have invented, which perfectly aooompliahea the end designed, without

 ordinarily, but do not be deceived, whenever he attempU to baulk, kick, run- 
 away Shy or bolt, you have no oontrol over hitf mouth, and he knows full well 
 Ibat he can do .ilmost as he pleases, which is too often the case, and roeulu in 
 (be loss of the poor unenlightened teamiter's life. 
 
 RELAX THB MUSCLES OF THE MOCTH.

 complete control under all cn-c.irastances, is to benr i.. mind what is here written

 position whhle you are endeavoring to educate the hoi-se, that you can com .ml 
 him to relax the muscles ol his mouth. Then he will obey you in whatever 
 way the rem and word of command direct him, persuaded in his own mind 
 K«l/ •« co'npel ed to obey the rein and word of command, and cannot heli» 
 himself. Now, when he does this perfectly, do not fail to caress him for it 
 
 TO HALTER BREAK THE COLT.

 bim pull back fiercely ; but, while trying to alarm him and make him pull back 
 do not say whoa or get up, but make all the noise you can. You must noi 
 oease this performance until tho horse is perfectly persuaded that he cannot null 
 hard onough to break the halter, and also, that neither yo- or any S 
 will hurt r.m. When he stands perfectly quiet and carelei, with aU Thi. 
 muscles relaxed, then walk up and caress him, pronouncing whoa! diatinctly

 To prove sntiafactory to a horae, cow, bull or sheep, that they must not and

 To t'Top OvER-KEACmsa. —The reason a horee over re<ioliea ia laicxuae his 
 hind legs are more active than his forward leg\ To stop him all you will hayn 
 to do, in an extreme case is to have bis nhoea one-tnird heavier behind than in 
 front, and tlrnt will equalise his limbs, if he ii« only a partial over-reacher he will 
 not requira so much. 
 
 To Stop a Horse InterFBRKIXO. — This ia also natural to a horse. In an ex- 
 treme case all th»t you will have to do, is to have his shoes on«-third iieavier on 
 the inside, and alao the inside caulk one-third longer, this will perfectly stop 
 iim of intcrfereing. If he is only a partial intcrfertr he wont require so much. 
 
 To have the horse shod perfectly sharp yet so that he cannot caulk himself and 
 also the caulk will stop sharp as long as the best steel caulk, all that yon will have 
 to do is to keep the heel caulk [lerfectly dull, and the toe perfectly sharp. Now 
 to hardeu tho toe caulk so as that it will keen sharj), and wont wear out any 
 sooner tlwn a steel caulk, take a handful of salt, lay it on a board and when th« 
 ^ toe-canik is shariMsned, and shoo ready to nail on, put toe caulk in the iire briag' 
 .: to a welding heat aid hold in tho salt for 15 secoads, then throw it in a tub of 
 cold water and it is all right. < 
 
 Fitting the shoe hot is an absui-d practice, and you must not all^w it iJ6 h« 
 » done. It causes an unhealthy secretion of the shell of the foot and it becomes 
 ftiliard, dry and brittle, and results in contraction. 
 
 *, Rasping the whole surface of the hoof for tho purpose of tnakinc it look nice 
 . and smooth, you must not allow to be done. Nature hasprovidod a barky

 ahell of the foot; have tho beela of the ahoe one quarter of an inch widur than 
 the ahell at the heel, and no wider, and alnn have tlie shoe one quarter of an

 inoie in any horae'a foot, reversing the numl)er of nails in the sidea at every ahoo-

 expand aa nature would have it. When you do not sprawl tho heels aw»j onl 
 to oonti-act the foot, aix nails is sufficient and vrbat oioro do you want. To 
 iJraw nil tlie inflammation out of hia contracted foot you must apply a poultioo 
 of liuaeed meal every night ; the same |H>ultice will do

 To make it grow rapidly the poultice nui^t be mixed up with milk warm 
 water, you may work the hoino rivjht along if yon want t), and if n.it, you 
 muat keep the poultice 011 throngii the day us w«II. W^nh t'lo frog of t'lo 
 foot clean before applyin;^ the poultica; have |)Oiiltice enough to till up oto* 
 with the shoe, now draw a rag right up over the foot, and tie around fttloek 
 to keep tho poultice in the foot.
