Controlling and Educating Horses and

C0lta.
Professor Rutland, the celebrated con-
troller of unruly horses, contemplates visit
ing Augusta for the purpose of teaching his
entirely new system of controlling horses and
educating colts. The professor discaris the
use of the wsr-bridle, with its knots ties
and bitches He uses no letters,
neither does be resort to throwing
to obtain control His system enables him
to control bakers, pullers, boilers, and
horses that are afraid of the locomotive, a
class of horses that were Stunned by all
preceding professors, while kickers, biters,
halter pullers, and horses addicted to other
faults are cured of their habits in few les
sons.
His system is easy to learn, simple in its
application, and the results achieved by its
use are marvellous. The professor guaran-
tees that each member of his school shall be
able to use his system to their satisfaction, or
the instructions to cost them nothing.
