This wonderful art, lJuidrd upon y
sysirm Of philosophy, is idall'ble aud
universal in its aspiration, and extends
10 all The animal kindgdom. In rega'd
10 the horse, il consists in c"nrhcIrf
him that YOU are his superior. and l"'
have an absolute power over hlm. iL'
system Is somewhat akin to Animal Mag
nrlisn in lis effect, but The process ''
widely different. :.
TIE process cftrojai' 2 rcry 'c'ht

consists, first by charming HIN by a
powder. which is obtained by taxing The
hutton from horses knee, by which !
mean the horny substance growing on the
inside. or rather, on the back part OF the
horses legs below the knee behind, and
above il, before. Dfy thls substance
and pulterIze t-put small quantity
into quill and blow il into his nos'rlIs
in a few minutes it viii operate, and
cause him to fellow you, or permit YOU
10 handle his feet, III get upon ms back
Thus with perfect ease. may Wild ana
vicious horse become gentle and harmless.
Process of causing Horse 10 iar
domn-Approach him gently upon Ihe
lief, side;-lasten a strap around the ankle
of the fore foot; then raise the i'nt gen
,ly, SO as to bring the kaee against the
belly. The leg being in this position,
f,slcn The strap around his arm. which
will elTectually prevent him FROM putting
chat foot to The ground again.
Then, fasien strap around the oppo-
site leg, and bring il over his shoulder
on the left side. so that you can catch
hold of it. Then push the horse gently,
and when he goes to fall, pull the strap
which will bring him 10 his knees.
Now, commence pal'lng hlm under
Tie belly; by continuing your gentle
strokes upon the bdly, you will, in a
few minutes, bring him 10 his knees be-
hnl. Continue the process, aud he will
lie entirely down, and submit himself
wholly to your treatment. BY sill pro-
ceeding gently, YOU may handle his feet
and legs in any way yoa choose.
However wild and fractions horse
may be naturally. after prac'lcing this
process few times, you will find him
perfectly gentle and submissive aud even
disposed to follow you any where, and
unwilling to leave you on any occasion
Unless the horse be wild, the first
treatment will be allsuiHcient: but should
he be TOO fractions to be approached in Il
nilnner necessary to perform the first
named operation, You must conITIve to
get the powder into his nos,rils, this you
viii find eii'ecrual; and you may train
vonr horse to harness or anything else
with The uimos, case.
IN breaking horse for harness, after
giving the powder, put the harness on
gently without startling hims and pat hin
gently, then fasien the chain to log
which he will draw for an indefinite
Iens,h of time. When YOU find him SUI
,cienlly gentle, place him to a Wagon
and other vehicle.
Notc.-Be extremely careful in catch
ing the horse not 10 alright him. Afle'
he is caught and the powders given, rut
him gently on the head, neck, back, ant
legs; and on each side the eyes, the way
the hair lics-bul be very careful not Il
whip, for young horse is equally pas
sionatc with yourself, and this PernlcioHs
practice has ruined many fine and valua'
bic horses. When you are riding colt
Tor even an old horse) do not whip him,
if he scarce, but draw The bride so that
his eyes may rest upon the object which
alTtighlcd him and pa, him upon the neck
as you approach ii; by this means you
will racify him and render him less La
BILE to start in future.
Means oficarning a Horse 10 pace -
Buckle four pound weight around the
ANGLES of the hind legs, (ead is preferl'
ble,) ride your horse brIskly with those
weights upon his ANGLES, at the same
time wi,ching each rein OF The bride al
ternalely; by these means yon will im
mediately throw him into a pace. AlloI
ter you have trained him in this way tC
some extent, change your lcalcn weigh
for something lighter Leather padding
or something equal to it, will answer The
purpose; lie, him wear these light weights
until he is perfectly trained. This pro
cess will make smooth and easy pace
Of any horse.
Horsemmship--The rider should, ii
the first place, let the horse know that hi
is not afraid of him. Before mounting I
horse, take the reign in the left hand

die, lei your leg from the knee stand GU
