Handling Colts.

Now that the frost is out of the ground, a
little time should be spared from the demands
of other farm work for handling colts. The
old term breaking colts is misnomer, and
ought to be abolished, together with The
customs which make such Il term at all ap.
propriae. The training OF young horse
ought TO be so gradually progressive an oper.
alton as to cover the first three or four years
of his life, and the young animal, from the
first month, should become accustomed to
the presence and touch Of his master 1t Is
no question that too much handling while
young does a colt much more injury than
good, while little cultivates that kindly and
tractable spirit which ever afterwards will
characterize horses reared in this way. The
young horse learns rapidly when he discov
ers and understands what is desired OF him,
and the fractlous spirit so frequently mani
tested by colts almost invariably comes from
fear, anger or undue excitement These are
oft repeated truths, but they are none the less
important or forclble, and observance OF their
teachings always pays.
A correspondent of one of our exchanges
remarks, in speaking of this subject, that The
chief difficulty usually in breaking colts Is
10 get them ridden for the first time. There
will, however, be no trouble in this, If when
the colt has been subdued by being lee, a
long time, you put or his back n brave bu,
cautious boy. Always, in handling horses,
beware Of showing any fear of them, for they
will take advantage of you if you do. You
must inspire them with respect for you, and
make them acknowledge their master. But
this furnishes no excuse for harshness or Sc.
verify He advises riding the colt from five
to fifteen miles every day, and to watch him
very carefully all the time. This last is good
advice, but five to fifteen miles would seem
quite too far to ride green colt. The writer
in question says forcibly enough, Teach the
coli what he doesn't know, and correct his
natural faults. This fact is worth noting,
that the average colt is simply ignorant and
foolish-not, as some imagine, possessed OF
the DEVIL Once in a while really vicious
one is seen. Such one Will require spe-
eial effort This is the time TO gait the
horse The different gaits should be taught
in the following order: /, walk; 2, trot; 3,
run; 4, canter; 5, pace. There is one excep-
ton which should not be overlooked If a
horse be natural PAGER, the pace should be
numbered ? instead of ,. Make your colt
walk five miles an hour, at least; many
horses can easily make six miles. The i'm.
portsnce Of this gait is generally overlooked.
Don't iall fail TO teach your horses all'of
these five PAGES. II is possible, and will
greatly add to its utility and vslue-AReri-

At recent meeting of the Democratic
Central Committee of this city, Senator KE-
ZOE, of Bridgeport, submitted the following
propo ition, which was adopted unanimously
Resolred, That We favor tho abolition Of township
organization In Cook County, the ground that 1t ia
USELESS expensive and complicated both unjust and
oppressive tn tta operation: 4nd,
Waxn41s It Is provided by law th.t upon the pcti-
tion Of Of tie legal voters Of any county
der township organization, to be ascertanad by the
vote cast at tho Inst PreEidanual e1scton it shall be
the duty Of the County Board to submit to the people
1t the uext election the question Of the continuance
township organization in said county: therefore,
Re.oiced. That immediate steps be taken by this
Committee to prepare Aod circulate hanecessary re
ttion, th.: the question may bs submitted to the
people IT the election in April next
This is move i'll the right direction It is
one on which there will be no diversity Of
public opinion, and, though the Democrats
are entitled to the credit Of taking the first
step, the Republican party will none the less
adopt it, and make it part of their policy.
The Republican committees should take im-
mediate action, whether jointly with the
Democratic Committee or separately, as mny
be deemed most advisable, to have the pc
tton signed in such numbers as will compel
the County Board to submit to vote of the
people, at the town elections next April, the
question of the abolition Of township organ
izaton, and thus sweep the entire EVANS and
PH11Lps machinery of taxation and the Town
Boards out Of existence. This township
organization is positive nuisance in
q largs city. Chicago is, under that
organization, divided into three "towns,"
and each Of these towns has Government.
consisting Of Town Collector, Assessor, Su-
pervisor, Clerk, and "Boord," and these OIL
GERS elect themselves annually, and vote
themselves enormous salaries, and levy taxes
upon the public to pay their salaries and
those Of their forty or fifty assistants. All
this is scandalous abuse Of system which,
however applicable to small communities, is
entirely out of place in large cities. II. this
township organization were out OF the way
then VIC would hare one Assessor for the
county, and have some rational and honest
system of assessments adopted in this county.
In the meantime, let us go on w::tl the pre-
liminary proceedings necessary to the abo1i-
ton Of township organization.
