Unwise Taxation.

We must wake up 10 the fact that the most
destructive power of our government, Federal.
State or municipal. Is the power Of taxation.

excessive, are more terrible than an army

other human agency of destruction.
In the North excessive taxation first drove
capital and enterprise from Boston 10 New
York, then from New York 10 the middle
states and now it is driving them from those
states to Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama

TRAINING A HORSE.


Hints from an Expert who Educates bat
Never "Brenks" Horses.
4 horse should never be deceived by
words or action. When rider or driver
pulls tho reius and says whoa no
should mean it and stick to it. Bat to
cry "whoa," jerk the reius and lash tho
horse at the same time is confusing and
means nothing. ii Is quite common to
say "whoa' when it is only intended to
20 slower or when the horse has not
stirred foot, to let him know of your
presence. One day when your life may
depend upon a whoa you will find
that your horse Is not stopped by it be-
cause you have entirely played it out Of
him. Speak always in a natural tone Of
voice under all circumstances Always
let your horse face the object Of his fear,
and when frightened remember tho
slower you move your horse the more
power you have over him. There are
times when letting horse trot is almost
as bad as letting him run away. Fear is
something a horscuan should never cX-
hibit in his cOuntenance or voice, rs the
horse is a close observer and soon learns
to take advantage Of such indication 10
become careless of control, if not indeed
aggressive. Let your lessons be thorough,
but not very long, BE gentle and pa-
tent with the colt but make the willfll
stubborn horse feel the full extent Of
your power until he submits.
The way to educate a horse not to 10
afraid Of things is to get him used to
them by bringing him into frequent con-

which arc perpetuated SO long as the

of breeding from this pure stock is more

exercise more care in restraining them
from wandering around too much dur

ing tho Matching and laying season do
they need comfortable quarters, where

They should havo suitable yards or
