TEE maal OE RALKY KOR3Es.

TIE Society for the Prevention Of Cyu-
city to Animals has put forth the following
rules for the treatment of. balky horses,
which should command the attention OF
owners Of animals addicted to that provok-
ing habit:
/. Fat the horse upon The neck; exam
Inc the harness carefully, first on one side
and then on the other, speaking encourag-
ingly while doing so and then jump into
the wagon and give the word go; generally
ae will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him from
the shafts and making him 60 in circle
Sill he is giddy. If the first dance Of this
sort doesn't cure him, the second will.
B. To cure a balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind till he wants to go, and then
let him go.
d The brain of the horse seems to enter
tain but one idea at time therefore con-
tinued whipping only confirms. his stubborn
resolve. III You can by any means give him
u new subject to think Of you will generally
have no trouble In starting him. A simple
remedy is TO take couple of turns of stout
Irvine around the foreleg, just below the
knee, tight enough for the horse to feel,
and tie in a bowknot. AT the first check
he with go dancing off, and after going
short distance you can get out and remove
The string to prevent injury to the tendon
IN your further drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs aud tie liz with cord to the sad
die girth.
8. Tie string around the horses ear
close 70 his head.
The Farmers Union suggests that in fol-
lowing any of the above rules, that the
manager of the horse does not lose his own
temper and become more balky than the
horse. 1t is a very common remark that
there are more balky drivers than horses.
A driver who does not control his own tenn.
per will be very likely to lose control Of .
balky horse.
