In. halter We ;,f;entc,: liln To :. past IL
-"mesit,la;i"n where he waS protected from
<9'i,!. and withaI led hiIn with sntae good
hay. Having thoroughly; accustomed him
tnthc halter. we next fixed q harness, which
va, o!cn carefully placed upon him, tied
lt;:n to the post alid fed. as before. We
next procured Il light sleigh, took off the
top. and attached it To the young Stecd,
led him as usual, and wiihal. treated him
with the utmost kinducss. We ncxt uir.
Sled him, and removed the tnddcr t:.w
,.:cvs, and harness, sleigh and colt. soon
l,"gan to lovr We then procured some
v,.irls and dro:c gently along, and he
,noved without difficulty. We often cx.
crcrscd him with The sleigh, at Il SLOW
waik sometimes quickrning his pace !;
little. and at length, occasionally urging
him to a moderate tvpt.
Some pr"pc think that it is difficult
task 20 break colt, rs it is 'rrlsrt' ;
hnt in fact. this Young animal never kne%
sh.u be was broken. OF course, his
spirit neY.r was broken, and he proved
N. excellent and sr,viccabc horse, kind

snaeiI f,r early and proi'c; discipline.
AID what can be said OF steers 1t is
i,np"rt;int these animals should early be
brought under the tut,inn of the teamster
and put to the daft. We o:i"n see oxen
that are vicious, and sometimes difficult
TO manage, and which III some cases, Will
not draw at ALL Now We think hat all
these evils may be avertcd By early and
thorough discipline.
