The Mind of the Horse.
Western Horseman.

Western Horseman.
Many factors contribute a share to the
low speed rate now so prevalent on the
trotting turf Better bred horses are. of
course, one of the main factors. but better
tracks, better and faster vehicles and more
scientific shoeing contribute much. while
the better understanding of each other be-
tween drivers and horses is, we believe, a
more potent factor than any other one
speed extreme element
Education is everything, be it in the case
of man or of lower animals. In former
years horses were simply made to trot,
while now they are educated to trot Orig
inally but few men could conceive of the
teachableness of horses, and instead of Gull
tivating a mental understanding between
themselves and the horses they drove most
drivers set themselves about the task OF
making horses do what they. the drivers,
wanted them to do. taking no particular ac-
count of the fact that horses, as a rule,
have "strong minds, and are as hard to
make do things as are men. The same
course pursued by older people in man.
aging children-the idea being that children
were to be forced into obedience; forced to
be amiable; forced to love and honor their
parents and forced to learn their lessons"
But. fortunately, in civilized families and
communities this is now all changed and
children are taught parental reverence; are
taught culture and are taught knowledge

Shrewd trainers-and we have many of
them-endeavor to get in close mental
touch with the horses they drive. and il is
remarkable to what degree they succeed.
The well-bred horse is not only strong
minded. but he is high minded. He is not
only capable of taking high education, but
his high mindedness revolts against abuse
and an effort TO make him do that which
he has not been led into doing through Gull
ture and education. Mr.. Ketcham says
that Cresceus beats all other trotters be-
cause he has a powerful mind and most
resolute determination TO do that which his
driver expects him TO do. He makes super
human efforts not because he is afraid not
TO, but because Of the mental assimilation
between himself and his driver, and be-
cause his drivers will is his WILL coapta-
ton reached by culture and education.

With all these conveniences the farmer

office and from there conduct the selling
of his produce, and 1t is not necessary to
load 1t up and drive to town before he
knows what it will bring him. In the farm

farms and better prices for farm products.

The Farm Mule.
Tennessee Farmer.

The mule is an easy animal to raise.
He doesn't eat much as compared with
the horse. An energetic mule will make
a trip quicker than a horse, though he
may not go so fast. The secret of his
speed is his uniform gait-steady and per-
sistent. You hardly ever see a sick mule
he seems practically immune from the
diseases which attack horses. A mule
can endure more hardship than a horse,
will pull more in proportion to size and
will stay with it, longer. a mule is
easier broken or trained to work thai
a horse, and is more reliable after initi-
ated. If a team of mules run away they
look out for themselves. and. though they
may make close turns and go through
a needles eye. so to speak, they usually
come out unframed. We would rather
pillow corn with team of mules than with
horses - they break down less and turn
around quicker. Hot weather affects the
mule less than the horse. good, honest,
business mule is worth and will command
& good price any day in the week. The
usefulness of a mule continues longer than
that of a horse. The mule is not hand
