could be energetic or otherwise as they
chose, Mrs. Stoney being one OF those
charming hostesses who allow their
guests to please themselves in their

Street Commissioner Elmen met with
the ladies Of the city improvement
society on Thursday morning to dis
cuss the methods Of having cleaner and
more attractive streets. Mr.. Elmen
placed high estimate on the influence
of the women and said that any request
from them was needed much more than
the men could say. He ex-
planned that the city had practically no
money to spend in the repair Of side
walks. Where new walks were con-
templated he strongly advised the use
OF the brick. as it only costs three dol
lars more than boards, and will outlast
them many years. The ladies asked
numerous questions as TO the present
plans for cleaning the city. Mr.. Emen
said the work had been done this win
ter through the working out of the poll
tax which left the street fund in good
condition. The plan now is to clean
che down town streets every day the
coming spring and summer. Mr.. Ell
men said that all streets should be
cleaned daily. but that the city appro-
priatsd nothing from the general fund
for that purpose. All that is spent
comes from the county fund of about
5000. large part of which is necessary

) BREAKING HORSES s
: THE PROPER AND HUMANE
WAY OF BItIDLING AND
HITTING.
oGoCoGoCoGSoCoCoCoC

4 writer In the London Live Stock
Journal describes what he calls the
proper and humane method Of breaking
colts. The breaker should undo the
near bit strap, slip the bride gently
over his head, stand exactly opposite
his near shoulder and fondle him gen.
uy with the hand and encourage him by
kind words. This IS the only position
close to horse Of absolute safety. No
colt can strike the breaker either from
before or behind, no matter how hard
he tries, nor can he run away If his
neck is bent and the position maintain
cd. He must fasten all the bride
straps properly, then slip the two first
fingers of the right hand into the colt q
mouth at the side behind his front
teeth. At 3 years Of age he has nc
tushrs and cannot possibly bite the
fingers In this position. He must place
the fingers over the colts tongue. then

BREAKING BIT.

insert the thumb and press 1t gently
Oh the nerve centcrs OF his lower jaw.
In nearly all cases he will yield at
once and will suffer his mouth to be
opened quite wide. The breaker should
take the bit In the left hand, still keep
Ing the right fingers In the colts
mouth, slip 1t gently through his teeth
into his mouth, attach It to the side
ring, then withdraw the fingers, and
the whole matter Is accomplished with
out struggle.
AS soon rs the colt Is brldlcd and bit
ted the surcinglc should be strapped
lightly round him. The breaker should
avoid drawing suddenly at first. or the
pressure may startle him and cause
him to kick and throw himself down.
The next thing Is to place the crupper
beneath his tnil. This Is accomplished
by standing well forward at the near
side OF the colt and pushing his tail
quietly through. The breaker should
be sure that all the loose hair is
through the loop. Nothing will make O
colt kick sooner than by leaving some
of the hair at the root OF the tail out
slde the cruppcr, for when the pressure
comes upon It 1t will nip his dock and
induce him to kick and throw himself
about In oil directions. The crupper
should be fixed to the surcinglc taking
care not to draw 1t too tightly. After
this the breaker should take the end Of
the halter, which should always be left
on the head OF the colt beneath the bri-
die and bring 1t through between his
fore legs and tie 1t not too tightly to
the surcinglc. After little practice in
this manner the side rcins should bo
placed upon him very loosely, the near
surcingle and vice versa.
1t Is n good plan to turn the colt into
q large open court, where he cannot get
fast in any way, md allow him to
roam about OF his own accord. In this
way he will soon begin to champ and
work the Bit and the more he works It
his mouth will be the more evenly
made. The bit should be slightly bent
with three small keys suspended from
the center. The bend In the bit pre.
vents the colt making his mouth un-
equal, as 1t Is impossible for him to
pull entirely on one side Of It, while
the loose action OF the keys induces him
to work the bit more freely The keys
should not be too long, or they will
come between his front teeth, which
may give him bad habit OF tossing I'D
his head In future.
Some colts are Inclined to sulk on the
DIT ut first. but in time they will gener-
ally work 1t quite freely. The break
ing tackle should not remain upon tho
colt more than couple Of hours at
hrst and the time should gradually be
increased .et' as the breaking proceeds.
