How to Cure a Ralkx Horse.

1t is the easiest thing imaginable to
cure horse from baking, if you only
set about it in the proper way. The
following simple rules, if rigidly ad-
hered to, will cure the worst case on
record
In the first place, as soon as your
horse shows signs Of baking, lay the
whip on him with all your might and
main. This will demonstrate to him
that there's trouble in his rear, and
the quicker he gets away from it, the
better for his hide.
Then jerk and saw on, his mouth
until you are out of breath. Thisis to
convey the idea that he'd better look
out what he'is about, for there's some
body behind him who is not to be tri-
fled with.
OF course you will not forget to
swear all the while, simply to remidd
him that he has to deal with one pos
sessed of the power Of speech, and
therefore superior being. The NOR
al effect OF profanity, when Literally
exerted, is tremendous.
The next thing in order is to dis
mount from your vehicle and ply the
lash about his legs, treating each liml
in succession and all impartially
This will brink him to his senses
Horses thought to be balky are some
times only absent-minded, and hence
they forget how to lift their legs.
Having dashed his legs until the,
are sufficiently sensitive, you SHOULD
follow this operation Immediately b.
another, always necessary, though
sometime neglected by thoughtles
persons. This consists in tying
strong piece of Irvine around hi
tongue, and pulling it with all TIL
strength at your command. TIL
tongue is an unruly member, an
may be the source of all the trouble.
| Now gather such light brushwoo
as you can find, pile it under his bell
and set the kindling afre. When tn
flames begin to SINCE his hair and t
roast the meat under it, he will under
stand that you are making it war;
for him. A horses reasoning power
are exceedingly dull, and nothin
short Of an object lesson will driv
them into action.
At this juncture, few well-admir
istered kicks with heavy boot upo
; his joints will help things amazingly
but no person who thoroughly unde
stands the equine nature hill sto
here. A half-dozen good soundin
kicks in the loins should never b
; omitted, They are, in fact, indispel
sible to perfect cure, and the hardt
you kick and the more kicks you Civ
the better The horse soon undo
stands that the arsenal of offensiN
weapons is not confined to II sing
arm.
l The next and concluding operatio
consists in striking the beast over Il
: head with a shovel, base ball bat, pic
ak or any other suitable instrumel
younlay have at hand; but whatey
c it be, it must be applied yigorousl
