upon himself, the consequence be-
ing that he came out in the spring
with hair six inches long aud so
full Of worms that it was well along
to the middle of the summer be-
fore he began TO grow much.
Breaking the colt to halter is
good practice and should be done
when not more than a week old;
few minutes will do then what will
perhaps take you a full month to
accomplish at two or three years
Of age. The colt accustomed TO
handling from his babyhood grows
up with the knowledge that you
are his master and friend, and
loses that nervous fear of man
which makes so many horses vic
ious. When the time arrives for
him to be put to work he will do
all that is required of him the more
readily, because you have his con-
fidence and friendship. Try it and
you will be repaid a hundred times
in the satisfaction you will have
aud the increased value Of your
colt.
