Whether "in motion" or at rest the horBhas
always been considered the most tractaple OF
domestic animals, as we'll as the nobwst
modern writer has observed that horsf aver-
ago better In disposition and the nobl@ quail
ties than do men, but whether this 10 strictly
true or not, 1t is certain that the entHe world
admits the amiable qualities and Inission OF
the horse. Still, however fractable no may
be when fully broken, he docs nofaBurrender
his will readily, and hence hQtbe training
has assumed almost the nature q lne art
among everyday sciences. III
There are innumerable methOde OF breaking
horse and no end OF books havSbeen written
on the subject, but probably Ne Oldest and
most successful man In this flelXis Mr.. Edward
Seeley, who has lived In Nlagata County, MY,
for nearly seventy years. AEpre5ent he is
over So years old, and the "reminiscences he
can recall, not only of horse gaining, but also
OF the region he resides In, atp interesting and
without number. or a nsturdlly vigorous
frame, he felt IN former yeitfs that there was
no limit to his physical capabilities, and 1t Is
not surprising that he oY6r-exorted himself
while handling specially fractions horse.
At fret It seemed 10 be ofi1y simple strain,
but by degrees 1t increase4 and troubled him
severely. This seems to bqthe common course
with all strains and oil ailments arising from
overeSertion. They maybe slight at nrst, but
they finally attack som1f Vital portion of the
body, and slowly but eiirely undermine the
life. This was the caseAyith Mr.. Seeley. For
years he suffered severely from this strain,
which would disappear for time and then
appear with still greater power. He would
feel II in his neck, shoulders ana occasionally
in the right side, afd finally II seemed to
attack his head, so tkat he could not lie In
bed, and was unabl9So got a full nights rest
in 1--WE years. speaNng of that period, he said
10 the writer: q
"During all that Hme was not able to dress
myself, and had td3ave help to comb my hair,
II being impossiblS 10 raise my hand TO my
head. The only WY In which could rest was
by sitting up in a focking- chair. What at first
seemed very slight troubles kept increasing
and was certaip1 was getting worse. tried
numerous lininients and various remedies
which the physiNtans prescribed, but failed to
grow any betterttndeod no one seemed to know
what allied mo or why the effect of Il strain
should BIO 30 eeyere and continue so long. And
yet to-day anIas we'll as ever was In the
world, and drige all the Wild horses L can get
hold Of. altholfh am s3 years old am

which believe TO DO the finest known remedy,
not only forhll ltver and kidney troubles, but
also for LID inflrmlties OF old age, which,

1t Is not four purpose TO comment largely
upon thlsetatement OF Mr.. Seeley's-it speaks
