FAST WALKINa.-The attention of
breeders will bear being called frequently
to the neglect of teaching colts and young
horses to walk. The walking gait should
be the first gait developed and perfected by
the trainer, and after rapid, clean, strong
walk is acquired the speed-gaits should be
attended to, though very carefully, until
they arc brought to good degree of pro-
helency. Horses may be made to attain
almost incredible speed at this way Of going
IT due care is observed: We have known
numerous road bred horses that would
walk from four and a half to five miles Al
hour without urging, and many, in Fact,
most well-bred road horses, could be taught
to cover greater distances than this in the
same time if it were not for the pernicious
custom Gas We think) of putting tho colts
to the trot as soon as they are in the har-
ness and before they are really bridlewise.
Every farmers boy knows that he can do
a better job of work-plowing, narrowing
or working corn-with fast walking team
which makes the dirt fly than will, slow
one. The saving on farm when the,
horses walk three miles an hour, or even
when they walk two miles and a half, is 20
per cent, or in other words, the fast team
can rest whole day in the week and vet
do as much work as the slow team-do it
easier and do it better. In times as at
present, when the work is pressing or the
weather uncertain, the fast team is treas.
ure. While every effort has been made to
increase the speed Of the trotter, the draft
horse men have been working for pounds
with little regard either for muscle or walk
ingspeed. 1t is a very great mistake to
suppose that the draft horse can not be
trained to walk rapidls ,Wo have been
'breedipg to Perchero6 for four years
that often walks niue miles in one hour
and fifty minutes, over hilly. road, and
his colts are all rapid walkers. Life is too
short to spend it in poking along after
team that cannot get their heads up. The
lazy man to whom exertion is a burden
actually works harder than the brisk.
