A simple Cure for Backing.

When q horse stops and proposes to
turn around don't resist the turn, but
give him quiet horizontal pull in the
direction he wants to turn so as to car
ry him further around than he intend
ed to go, and If possible keep him going
around half dozen times, says q
horse trainer. In most cases this will
upset all mis- calculations, and he will
go quietly on without much ado. II
six turns will not do give him twenty. In
fact, if he will keep on turning to your
rein you are sure toconquer, as enough
turning will confuse him and leave
him at your command. If he will not
turn. and will back to the rein, keep
him going backward in the direction
you want to go. He will soon get
tired of that and prefer to go with the
right end forward, but before you let
him go give him decidedly more back
ing than he likes.

urcs might be suggested, Us much de-
pends on the particular species In n
general way most of the species have
similar habits in the larval state; but
to deal directly with them when. rs in
this case, tlwy are distributed over
large areas, is II very serious problem.
The most successful means under
these conditions il by the distribution
of poisonous bnits. These may con-
sist of freshly cut clover or other sue
culent vegetation poisoned with paris
green and made into balls or gathered
into masses, so as to prevent their too
rapid drying. One mode of accom-
plishing this last object is by covering
the poisoned plants with boards.
These poisoned bats, if placed at in
tervals along the corn rows, will at
tract large proportion of the cut
worms, which. by feeding upon them,
will perish. For smaller areas. or for
garden patches, the same method may
be followed, or the larvae may be un.
earthed from about the base of the
plants, whcre they retire for conceal
lnent during the day.
Another method Is to take smooth
walking cane and make smooth holes
several inches deep at intervals, going
over the same ground every day and
punching in these holes to destroy the
worms which seek them during the
day as n plu &C of concealment and
tumble in. The patent salts. such as
kainit, have proved of the greatest
value against many subterranean in
sects, and undoubtedly will be of value
against these cutworms. They have
the additional advantage of being goot

secticides is more than Offset by theil

TRAIN COLTS TO WALK.
1t Is Unqucstionably the Best Gait for
Ordinary PurDoses.

1t Is Unqucstionably the Best Gait for
Ordinary Purposes.
Many colts are now learning to
work The rate of travel required of
them is important. Confining the
travel mainly to walk is not the rule
with all drivers. AS soon as the young
animal ceases to rear and plunge in
the harness, it is often considered
broken" and is allowed to take any
gait it may choose. The old horse by
which the youngster is hitched is al
lowed to advance by long, rapid
strides, thus forcing the colt out of a
walk from the start. The older ami
NAL needs to be held back and forced
to walk at rate which the learner
can equal. Gradually increase the
rate. but only in keeping with the
ability of the colt to walk. A colt
that proves naturally slow at the walk
must be given short trips of not more
than five miles, and be steadily urged
to a faster gait. 1t is work to drive a
green" colt properly. The man who
takes the reins at such times for
pleasure is out of place. The early
habits of the colt will cling to it. For
this reason 1t should be made to travel
at a brisk walk during the first three
months it is worked. The well-trained
horse finds it a relief from the walk,
of course, to be given brisk trot dur.
