Don't Talk Much to Your Horse.
A horse who has always been made
to obey quickly will respond to COM
mands from any one, whereas the
creature who has been petted ana talk
ed to accords, unless hungry, scant at
tention to any one. We talk to horses
altogether too much, and it is a silly
and dangerous custom. Whoa should
mean but one thing and, slip, slide or
fall, should meet with instant obedi-
ence. Not another word should ever
be used, beyond possibly the order to
"stand over in the stall although even
that is best unsaid) except the "click'
Of the tongue for increased speed. The
animals attention is kept if you are
silent. He does not know what you
will do next, and as he distrusts and
merely tolerates you, even as he fears
you, his anxiety is always to find out
what you wish done or what move you
will next make.-F. NJ. Ware in Outing
Magazine.
