Uure for q Kicking Horse.

Parties who are troubled with kick
ing horses may read the following with
profit: An old wheat sack filed with
hay was suspended by a rope from the
ceiling, so that the sack hung just at
the heels of vicious horse as he st God
in his stall. When the sack was first
placed in position the kicking equine
let fly both feet at it as soon as il
touched him, but after ten or twenty
minutes of that kind Of work he came
to the conclusion that the sack would
return as often az he struck It, and he
finally gave up trying to "knock it
out" This same horse, which has a
reputation as kicker, can now be
hitched to any vehicle, and he will not
kick at anything that happens to strike
his heels.-Zri6,0ae and Farmer.
