WISE WORDS TO HoRsEMEN.

When driving on dusty roads water your
teams often. 1t is good idea to wash
their nOstrils and mouths when you water
them.
Never let your horse acquire the habit OF
jumping out of the shafts as soon asi you
unwrap the last strap. Many an accident
occurs in this way.
Be easy with all horses during hot
weather, and especially with the young
ones. They are apt to be free and easily
driven sore or permanently injured.
Tough, enduring, long lived horses are
what is wanted, and if to these requisites
can be added beauty of form as well as
speed, then perfection is nearly attained.
Pet the young colt occasionally and give
it and the mare a little salt or sugar now
and then. Colts petted too much are apt
to be spoiled. Get acquainted with them,
but don't let them get too familiar.
you cannot recommend this horse
then" Certainly; he is as kind as can
be, and there's only one thing he's afraid
Of" Whats that?" Hes afraid some
body will say whoa to him and he won't
hear it."
The way to break horses to the cars is to
get them kept close to the railroad, where
they can see the cars dozen times a day,
and they Will get so accustomed to them
that they can be driven by the cars with
perfect safety.
Rearing horses for sale under favorable
circumstances is one of the most profitable
industries in which the farmer can engage.
There is not much more expense in pro-
ducing good 3-year-old colt than in grow
ing a good steer, but there is an apprecia-
bic difference in the value of the product.
1t is well known among experienced
horsemen that we must win the horse's
confidence by displaying confidence in
him, and his friendship by showing SYM
pathy with him in places where hefears
danger. Prove TO the noble animal. your
greater caution and better Judgment, if
you wish him to have full confidence in
