HANDLE COLTS GENTLY.
F1rst Thing to Tea ch . Young Horse
Is the Meaning of the Two
Words Go and Whoa,

Breaking colts to harness and
work, care and patience are needed
especially with those Of q nervous
temperament. By all means avoid
overlooking them OK working until
very tired, as these conditions have
more to do m making balky horses
than any other ono thing. When
overloaded, OF worked almost to the
limit Of endurance, and a colt once
stops Of its own free will, It Il la
BILE to do so again. Th1s usually en-
RACES the driver and he often uses
the whip OF other severe means be-
fore the animal is rested, and trou-
BILE is the result.
The very first tldng to teach a
young horse Is the meaning of the
two words go and whoa. The word
whoa should be taught first. as most
colts will go without much urging.
To have colt stop instantly at tho
word is OF the greatest Importance.
Don't use two or three words. such
as stop OF stop Tony. or whoa boy.
Speak out plainly and distinctly the
word whoa. In after years these
combination words can be used, or
even q quick jerk on the nnes can
be taught as the signal TO stop, or
even go. as you desire. With colts
use only safe and strong harness.
Do not allow them to get away from
you when harnessed, or even when
tied. It Is trick they do not soon
forget and many try II again.-Or-

The Virginia Building at St. Louis.

To the People of Virginia:
AS the work of the State Commission
to the st. Louis Exposition progress
es, the need Of building on the ex-
position grounds to provide place for
Virginians to meet and rest, take lunch,
secure postal facilities, see their State
newspapers. ETC., becomes apparent.
AS the State appropriation cannot
be used for this purpose, to accomplish
this end, it must be done by private
subscriptions. A beautiful site has
been given Virginia. and, as all other
States will have buildings. Virginia
will be detrimentally conspicuous
without one.
A number of public spirited men
have expressed a desire to have this
building take the form of q reproduc-
tion of Monticello. and have offered
substantial subscriptions to that end.
To give an opportunity to all who take
a State pride in this matter to sub
scribe, if they will, this paper will re-
ceive subscriptions. A large or small
sum from any person will be doubly
returned in the comfort received
through this building while on the
grounds, and will also creditably ad-
vertise the the State to all visitors to
the Worlds Fair. Any amount that
is received will be forwarded by the
editor of this paper to the president Of
the Virginia Commission, Hon. G. W.
Koiner. at Richmond. 1t is very i'm
portant for those who propose to re-
spond to this appeal to do SO prompt
ly, as the work on the building should
begin at an early day, in order that it
may be ready for the opening OF the
exposition.
