MANAGING A HORSE.

The Methods Employed by Man OF
Sense and Humane Instinct.
like horse and especially a good
one. When | was six years old l could
harness horse alone, although l had
to stand on something to do it. Since l
became a man l have owned one or
more horses most of the time. At present
have four colts, a brood mare and
four work horses. My horses all like
me and l can make bally horses work
and pullers easy to drive. do not use
q whip nor teach them tricks, but use
them for what 1 want them to do. l
have raised a dozen colts or more and
broken them all myself and some more
besides. When quite young l halter
break them and tie them in a stall
part of the first winter and have no
trouble afterward. This will teach
them to lead, to back and do other
things when they are old enough to
harness Many colts are spoiled by the
rough way they are used. | never put
a biting harness on them, but put a
bride on and lead them around once or
twice to get them accustomed to the
bit. Do not jam the colts mouth with
the bit to make him open it, but take
and the bit in the left. Put the bit
squarely against the teeth and work
the finger little on the gums at the
side of the teeth and the bit goes in be-
fore you know it. Pull the bit up in his
mouth, slip the bride over his ears,
smooth down the foretop and the thing
is done almost before you know it. If
the colt objects to taking in the bit,
don't hurry him or get mad Another
little thing l have learned, and that is
in embarrassing not to tie the traces in
hard knots. Take the loose end in one
hand, grasp the middle with the other,
bring the loose end around, over and
under the trace and back through the
loop, tying it in figure s. This holds
the trace perfectly and does not hurt it
as does hard winding and tying.-A

THE Massachusetts, board of agri-
culture has passed resolutions in favor
of the dairy commission bill and
against the resolve for investigation
of the matter of tuberculosis by the
state board of agriculture. The latter
is opposed on the ground that it would
not accomplish the desired result, by
reason of insufficient appropriation, and
also because it is believed that the board
of health is the proper board to make
such investigation.

A sERvICEABLE WATER LITTER.


curb is a wooden spout, rather large at
the upper end, and projecting inside of
the curb, as shown in the upper left
hand corner of the illustration. Di-
rectly above this, and also represented
in the sketch, is an iron rod firmly at
tached to the inside of the curb with
the bent end projecting inward an inch
farther than the open spout. This is
the litter which catches one side of the
bucket as it comes up, and holds it I'M
til it is tilted by the continued action
of the crank, and empties its contents
into the open spout. The bucket has a
a two-inch hole in the bottom. covered
by leather valve. The latter is simply
a piece of sole leather, three inches
wide and four long, tackled by one edge
over the hole. A fat piece of iron or
lead is fastened to the upper surface of
the valve, to keep it in place. The
bucket must be heavy enough to sink
of its own weight. 1t is well to leave
one of the hinged covers of the curb
open most of the time, to admit air for
the publication of the water.-Amer-

The Big Firms Now Employ Detectives to

The ubiquitous spotter has found an
other field for his industries, and now
even the cahman is not exempt from
his surveillance. Each of the large
livery establishments employs a man
whose sole occupation is to take rides
in cabs note the am cunt paid for each
trip and take down the number of the
vehicle. When the driver who makes
an overcharge, or is impertinent, makes
his returns to the office. he is at a great
loss to understand why his head goes
into the waste-paper basket so quickly.

got to be on the dead square The pro-

fine point. We have to fill in blanks
every day stating the time we started
on each trip, the place we started from,
the destination and the amount charged.
Even that left us little chance to do
little business on the quiet, because we
could, once in awhile, catch a man who
would believe that three-quarters OF a
mile was a mile, and would pay fifty
cents instead of n quarter. That, OF
course was clear profit tor the driver,
