EQUINE PICK-UPS.

1t is thought that 'Hindoo was per-
hapS, during his days on the turf, the
best example of very fast and game
horse with perfectly balanced brain
that had been seen for many year.
He would run equally we'll in the rear
or in the front. and could be placed i'll
any position his rider wished by simply
indicating to him what was wanted.
There are plenty of trotterS that will do
all this, and when 1t comes of down
right stubborn gameness it is doubtful
if any family of horse in the world out
classes the American trotter."
The annual statement of Highland
farm, Lee, Mass, for the year ending
My l, 1891, lately filed with the pro-

Few mares and geldings should be
subjected to the cutting lash. Now and
then the naturally dull and tagging en-
ergieS of stallion must be reused to ac-
ton by the whip, but its continual APP
phcation is unwiSe. A sharp cut now
and then with the dread of more, will
bring forth the best efforts of the dull
horse. The voice and reign are greater
inspirers Of increased efforts than the
whip.
In Japan horses are backed into their
Isstalls, then door is closed at the head,
which has a grain and hay rack con-
venientiy constructed, to which the nag
is hitched. When needed the door is
swung back and the horse led forth.
No one gets kicked, no refuse matter
is visible to the visitor, and it seems to
be a sensible way to construct a place
for any horse.
