Appropriate biting has much to do with
success. but the novice is apt to pro-

verse of this should always be the rule
and the horse should be constantly tried
with lighter biting effects until the least
possible restraint is employed. Hands

The Bigness Of Brazil.

Brazil has an area OF 3280,000 square
miles, or that OF the United States with
half Of Alaska added. This is. approx
mately, Ave -slxtbs of the whole OF Eu-
rope, or almost 100 times the size of
the mother country Compared even with
Australia. Brazil not only holds her own,
but has q surplus area that would over
lap the State of Texas. while on her own
continent she almost equals the COM
bined areas OF the other twelve republics
and colonies oue-half of Argentina only
having to be deducted. This VIII readily
be apparent on consulting an atlas. as
