Helping the Horses.
There is much good sense and wisdom in
the following from Western correspondent
Of the New York Tribune: Brought up in
New England. and early taught to tighten
the load of my team by walking up the hills
and across rough. bad pieces of road re.
member my indignation on seeing a strong
heavy man, who always kept his seat, re-
gardless of the roughness Of the way. Later
he explained to me his idea that he could do
more for the team by Watching the road
closely when perchs above than BY reliev-
ingithem Of his weight. And the sleek, plump
horses seemed to Prove the assertion. Their
driver was always gentle, but Arm, and they
had learned to understand his wishes almost
before he used the reins. His eyes when
driving we're ever on the alert, and seldom
did . wheel pass over an obstruction or
through eulley when it vas possible to
avoid either.
