TRAINING THE COLT.
Frightening or lll-Treating Must Bs
Studiously Guarded Against.


When colt has been left till three
or four years old, as is often the case,
before any attempts are made to han
die him, it is wise TO devote, If possi-
bic, at least month to the process of
gentling, as preliminary to actual
breaking. Frightening or ill-treating
such an animal must be studiously
guarded against Speaking from u
varied experience, the writer is con-
vinced that to engage in any struggle
with young horse is in the highest de-
gree unwise If it can possibly be
avoided. The fight to halter "A strong
animal will give him a severe fright,
and one which il takes him q long
time to forget; and, besides this, If he
should succeed i'm breaking away dur
ing the effort to fix his halter, he will
become conscious of a victory gained
over his master-a fact which will not
soon be dispelled from his mind. The
knowledge of success in an attempt
to break away not only induces OBJ
stinacy in future stages of his tuition,
but will also prompt him to resist by
every means in his power a repetition
of the effort to halter him at the time.
When wishing to halter young horse,
there is no plan so good as to moose
him quietly first of all, and the best
way of doing this is to drive him
gently through a partly open gate
preferably that of yard in which he
has been confined-where a moose is
suspended by cotton in such manner
that he cannot pass out without lodg-
ing the rope round his neck or shoulders.
The moose must be knotted so that it
cannot pull quite tight round the neck,
while the loose end should be IS or
20 feet long. When the animal has
been driven back TO the yard, the end of
the rope can be secured and the moose
drawn close up to the head. IL
steady pull is kept upon the rope, the
horse will turn and face his trainer,
who should approach him quietly and
gradually. II the animal is very nerv-
Gus, wait for few minutes without
moving. and then again approach him,
always keeping the rope taut. When
at last within reach, rub his ears and
forehead with the halter for awhile

lie should next be coaXed into the
stable, or wherever il is wished TO tie
him up. young horse must never
be forced into building of which he
is suspicious. IL he is led up to the
door, and the trainer. allowing six or

A GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT.
A Milkman's Outfit DemOralized by
Railroad Train.

N01IfO0O Train.
Another grade crossing accident was re-
corded at the fourth precinct police sta
ton this morning. This time the accident
occurred on the 4th street crossing of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad. The af-
fair happened about 4 o'clock this morning.
W. S. Simpsons milk wagon, driven by Ar
thur Bell. figured in the affair.
Fortunately the driver escaped with a
few bruises and wounds about the side and
leg. The horse was badly injured and the
wagon was wrecked.
The gates at this crossing are not in OPP
GRAFTON at so early an hour, and there was
nothing to warn the driver Of the approach
of the train. The horse was dragged some
distance and was so badly injured that
death will probably result.
Word of the accident was sent to the po-
lice station and the patrol wagon responded,
but as the injured driver was able to go
away without assistance the police were
not needed.
