Decency Towards Horses.
National Stockman.

National Stockman.
A horse cannot be screamed at and
cursed without becoming less valua-
BILE in every particular. To reach the
highest degree of value, the animal
should be perfectly gentle and relia-
BILE; but if it expects every moment
that it is In harness to be scolded, it
will be in asconstant state of nervous
ness, and in its excitement is liable
to do something which is not expect
ed. 1t is possible to train horse to
be governed by speaking to him all
most as completely as it is to train
a child, and when thus trained the
horse reaches its highest value.
When the horse is soothed by the
gentle words of his driver-and we
have seen him calm down from great
excitement by no other means-it
may fairly be concluded that the man
who has such power over him is a
humane man and a sensible one. But
all this simply means that every man
must secure the animals confidence.
Every reader must know, that if the
animal, when frightened, can be
brought up to the object at which he
is scared he will become calm. Only
in exceptional instances is a horse
stubborn or vicious. If he under
stands his surroundings, and what is
required of him, he gives no trouble.
The reason is that he understands
there is nothing to fear; so he must
be taught to have confidence in the
man who handles him, and then this
powerful animal, which usually a
man could not handle if it were dis
posed to be vicious, will give no
trouble.
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1890-08-30

the finest disposition in the world,
and yet, if easily frightened or addict
ed to shying, he is entirely untitled
to be family horse that women and
children may drive; and family
horse that a mans wife cannot be
trusted to drive is exceedingly poor
property. If the owner will not let
the horse go on trial-and many deal
ers are not willing to it-at least the
buyer should insist on taking drive
with the animal alone, and should
demand a guarantee that the horse
may be returned if not found as rep
resented. Some of the desirable traits
in a family horse are kindness of dis
position, good size and strength, and
the ability to walk fast. 1t is of
special importance that he should
travel smoothly, and draw the car
rlage evenly, some horses having the
disagreeable habit Of starting sudden
ly, and thus jerking the vehicle
whenever they are urged forward
with the voice or touch of the whir.
A horse with heavy coat of hair
is to be avoided, since this makes
grooming a much more difficult mat
ter. The thick coat induces such
abundant perspiration as to make the
horse look unkempt whenever he has
been driven. Unless this perspira-
ton is thoroughly cleaned out, the
hair will soon get into a very filthy
condition. Another point to notice
is the position of the name. A few
horses are to be found with this fall
ing over upon the left side of the
neck, causing good deal OF vexation
in Harvesting, since it almost sure tu
get into the buckle when buckling
the throat-latch of the bride or hal
ter. AS this is the side on which q
horse is usually hitched in the stall
it gives him a chance to rub his
name, if he is so disposed-and he
frequently is. Width of face between
the eyes, breadth of back just forward
of the hips, a broad, deep chest, and
good outstanding feet (not fat are
points that should be well considered

A Family Horse.

A good many of us, at least once in
our life have occasion to purchase a
family horse, and it is also true that
many feel considerable difidence In
approaching the matter. There is a
prevalent impression that horse can
conceal within his person more tricks,
hereditary weakness and other short
comings than any other animal. The
fact that so much unsoundness, both
of body and disposition, can be con-
cealed from unskilled eyes make the
owner of those eyes suspicious OF ev-
cry piece of horse-fesh that is offered
him. 1t is fortunate that this is so,
for such suspicion has tendency to-
wards caution. I would suggest that
the intending purchaser of family
horse let the average Jockey" Sc
Verely alone. The indiscriminate
trading of good, bad and Indifferent
horses has, in too many cases, the eff.
feet Of dulling that portion of human
being called the conscience.
The most desirable course to pursue
when the purchaser is not an expert
in equine matters is to take the horse
on trial, after having made as good q
selection as possible from external ap'
pearances. A weeks driving will
bring out the good and bad qualities
of a horse pretty effectually.
1t can be seen then whether the
animal SHES or not. If he does
don't finish out the week of trial
that fault should condemn him if he
has no other. With a shying horse
one is always nervously on the
watch, and very likely also on the
edge of an embankment, and lucky
he is if it goes no further.
A weeks driving will also show
whether the horse is afraid of the carr
or the noise Of machinery and numer
Gus other sights and sounds that arr
met constantly. A horse may hav,

A Smoking Tree.

Newton, avigorous mountain town,
west of Charlotte, N. c., has curiosi-
ty that beats by large majority the
rain tree which gained such notoriety
in Charlotte in 1886. 1t is a smoking
tree and battles all efforts at eXplana-
ton. 1t is a white mulberry tree,
and stands on the sidewalk in front
of the residence of Levi Yoder. 1t
was brought from Illinois a year or
two ago and is now about twelve
feet high, with bushy top and many
lateral branches. On recent Sunday
one of the family noticed q puff of
smoke proceed from one of the limbs,
and by watching it closely, puffs,
identical in appearance to cigarette
smoke were seen starting every now
and then from all over the tree, some
times from the leaves, sometimes
from the bloom, sometimes from the
bark of the limbs or trunk of the tree.
The puffs are at irregular intervals
sometimes two or three at once from
various parts of the tree, and some>
times they are several seconds or
half minutes apart. They just seem
to come at haphazard from any part
of the tree, and as they ascend in the
air look exactly like the smoke from
a cigarette. Since the curiosity first
became known, large crowds, both o.
town and country people, can beseer
there at any time in the day. Al

Tennessee PAGERS.

the Tennessee PAGER:
The pacing gait has been the ordi-

be worked to the plow all the week,
and when Sunday comes the mother
of generally large family will have
him saddled, and herself, and from
one to three children get upon him
and ride him to church, and as the
PAGER is nearly always speedy and
ready for contest, the young or old
man will then take him out for a
brush on the road with some neigh
boz, and thus it will be seen that the
life of PAGER in this section is gener-
ally busy one, and 1 know of no
other horse so generally useful, and
that will fill so many requirements as
the PAGER.
