How TO DISAPPOINT A BALkY
HoRSE.-The FItchburgh Sentinel tells
how Leominster farmer cured his
horse of balky freak by gentle means:
He drove him, attached to rack Wa
gon, TO the wood lot for a small load Of
wood. The animal would not pull a
pound. He did not beat him, but tied
him to tree and ''let him stand. !"
He went to the lot at sunset, and asked
him 10 draw. but he would not straight
en- tug. Il made up my mind" said
the farmer, "when that horse went 10
the barn, lie would take that load OF
wood. 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 l went down,
and he was probably hungry and lone
some. He drew that load of wood the
first time / asked him. j returned, and
got another lead before l fed him.
then rewarded him with a good dinner,
which he eagerly devJured. L have
drawn several loads since. Once lie re-
fused to draw; but as soon as he saw ne
start for the house, he started after me
with the load. A horse becomes lone
some and discontented VIXEN 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
animal with club"
