MANAGING A VICIOUS HORSE.

A beautiful and high-spirited horse
would never allow a shoe to be put on
his feet or any person to handle his feet.
without resort to every species of pow
er and means to control him. At ore
time he was nearly crippled by being put
in the stocks he was afterward thrown
down and fettered; at another time, one
of our most experienced horse shoers was
unable to manage him by the aid of as
many hands as could approach. In an
attempt to shoe this horse recently, he
resisted all efforts, kicked aside every
thing but the anvil, and came near kill
ing himself against that, and finally was
brought back to his stable unshod. This
was his only defect; in other respects he
was gentle and perfectly docile, and ez-
peclally in harness. But this defect was
just on the eve of consigning him to the
plough, where he might work barefoot,
when by mere accident, an officer in our
service, lately returned from Mexico, was
passing, and being made acquainted with
the difficulty, applied complete remedy
by the following simply process He took
cord about the size of common bed
cord, put it in the mouth of the horse
like bit. and tied it tightly on the ami
mails head, passing his left ear under
the string, not painfully tight, but tight
enough to keep the ear down and the
cord in its place. This done, he patted
the horse gently on the side of the head,
and commanded him to follow and in
stantly the horse obeyed. perfectly SUBJ
dued and as gentle and obedient as a
well-trained dog; suffering his feet to be
lifted with entire impunity, acting in all
respects like an old stager That simple
string thus tied made hun at once docile
and obedient as any one could desire.
The gentleman who thus furnished this
exceedingly simple means of subduing a
very dangerous propensity, intimated that
it is practised in Mexico and South
America in the management of wild
horses. Be this as it may, he deserves
the thanks of all owners OF. such horses,
and especially the thanks of those whose
business it may be to shoe or groom the
animal,-Ne,c York Commercial Adrer-
