CURING A bALkY HORSE.
Simple Methods May BE EMPLOYED

An expert states that the vice CT
baking in horses is almost invariably
caused by improper breaking and han.
d)iAg of the animal while young, saws
the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is only high strung and ill fem
pered horses that balk, and these are
handled with more success by humor-
ing and patience than by severe MEAS
ures, which generally make matters
worse. 1t Is almost impossible to fol.
low rules in a case of this sort. What
VIII succeed in one case is useless in
another, so that a driver must exer-
else good judgment-"horse sense'-in
handling a case.
a very good treatment is TO watch
the animal closely in places where It
would lie likely to balk, and with the
hrst sign OF stopping the driver should
say Whoa" then get off and loosen
or pretend to change the harness in
some way; also take up a foot and tap
the shoe with a stone. Spend a few
moments leisurely in this way, and in
hine cases out Of ten the animal will
forget its inclination to balk and viii!

well to give a lump Of sugar or n
hahutul OF oats or an Gpple. This wiz
always produce better results than Sc.

Monday the good chaplain offered a
special prayer for'the Democratic min
GRITTY. Strange as it may seem, the
Democratic minority didn't appreciate
he su%pplication in it's behalf, but
sprung a resolution providing for the
discharge OF the reverend gentleman
from his official position. The resolu-

perhaps, is the secret OF innumerable
