balky horse, pat him and speak gently to
him, aud as soon as he is over his excite

swearing only makes tho matter worse
After you have geated him down, take him

before the bslky horse, ami let the other

pull 10 out before the other starts first. BY
close application TO this rule you can make

badly spo,led you should hitch him to an
empty wagon, and pull it around on level
ground, then nut on small load, and in
crease it gradually. caressing ~ before, and
IN short time you will have a good work
