How TO Cure Nervous Horses.

"Finely-bred, intelligent horses"
said n trainer recently, are often
nervous. They are quick TO notice,
quick TO take alarm, quick to do what
seems to them, in moments OF sudden
terror, necessary TO escape from pos
siblc harm, from something they do
not understand. That is what makes
them shy, bolt and u away. We
can not tell what awful suggestions
strange things offer TO their minds. II
may be that u sheet OF white paper in
the roadway seems TO the nervous
horse a yawning chasm, the open front
Of n baby ctrriage the jaws OF a dragon
ready to dcvour him, and a man on n
bicycle some terrifying sort OF a flying
devil without wings. Directly, how
ever, he becomes familiar with these
objects, he is entirely Indifferent
to them. Therefore, when your horse
