Tanning a Horse.

A man who ran his chance in
buying a horse that no one could
handle, paying Sl52,50 for him,
relates his experience in tanning
the terrible creature as follows:
From the day he entered my
stable until the present, l have
never struck him a blow. Inever
under ossy circumstances strike q,
horse IN the stable. Kindness will
accomplish. what whipping has
failed TO do. l thought / had
winters job before me, but the
first thing I wished to do was to
win his confdence-to teach him
to love me, which | teel / have
effectually done. / began by Civ
ing him apples and potatoes, which
| always taught him to eat from
my hand, and at the same time
patted his neck and head. In
this way | made rapid strides in
gaining his confidence. What l
dreaded most was to harness him.
Those ominous words, GA yalu-
able horse to those who know how
to handle him." Was l the man ?
Harnessed be must be, for every
days delay was making the mat.
ter more difficult and dangerous.
| procured the help of two good
men and began. Iadmit that my
nerves were a little shaky, yet my
confidence in managing a horse
had not all died out. After some
trouble we got him fairly into the
shafts, ard found myself seated
behind him, ready for a start
But it was no go. l soon learned
that there was no danger in his
running-not a bit of it! He
threw himself back in his harness
and evidently expected a "scrape."
But in this he Was disappointed.
/ could sitas long as be could
stand, and | waited, said nothing,
but waited until he got tired of
waiting, and started of his own
accord, when l drove him and
could handle him with ease. The
next day l tried him again, with |
the same performance, followed
by the same result, and from that
day to the present he has never
refused to start when | asked him,
or in any way behave improper
ly. It is the fire and the spirit
that add value to the steed, when
brought under proper subsection
to the master.
Dan and myself have become
the best of friends. He is dis
posed to do anything l ask him,
and | never strike him a blow.
1 tdlk to him if he is frightened
A kind word from me assures him,
and he takes courage.
He can "make his mile" in three
or twelve miles an hour;
has fine style and action, and as
good and clever an animal in the
stable or harness as could wish,
My boy of twelve can handle him
with perfect safety. 1t was not
the whip that made him what he
IS, but the law of kindness, which
always work best, on man or beast.
But | have good valuable horse,

there is any way to cook ham ex-

you prepare it to stuff a turkey.
