how a Leominster farmer cured his

He drove him, attached to a rack wa

wood. The animal would not pull a
pound. He did not beat him. but tied
him to a tree and ''let him stand"
He went to the lot at sunset, and asked
him TO draw, but he would not straight
en- a tug. Il made up my mind" said
the farmer, ''when that horse went to
the barn, he would take that load of
wood. l went to the barn, got blank
cts, and covered the horse warm. and
he stood until morning. Then be re-
fused to draw. at noon / went down,
and he was probably hungry and lone
some. He drew that load of wood the
first time / asked him. ] returned, and
got another load before l fed him. |
then rewarded him with a good dinner,
which he eagerly devoured. l have
drawn several loads since. Once he re-
fused to draw; but as 500 as he saw me
start for the house, he started after me
with the load. A horse becomes lone
some and disconnected when left alone,
as much so as a person, and l claim
this method, If rightly used, is better
for both horse and man than to beat the
