MATCH UP THE HORSES.
Try and Have Them Even az to Gait

This does not imply that those of the

be worked together. Matching farm
teams is more difficult than matching

ly urge the slow one, and this soon
irritates the other one. Match gaits;
match temperaments, and match horse
power. These are the essentials to
keep in mind when matching up. the
team for heavy work. Never put
young horse to very heavy. steady
work, such as blowing, alongside an
old staid horse, says the Indiana
Farmer. The youngster is apt to do
more than his share, in spite of all
you can do to equalize the work. When
breaking a colt have always found It
best to put 1t alongside steady, even
tempered horse that is not easily rat
tied" Such mate will soon give
confidence to the colt, and he readily
falls into work without much trouble.
A correspondent says, give the colt
some light farm work at first, such as
blowing or narrowing. That Is risky.
We would never hitch colt to har-
row. One never knows what they are
going to do, and a harrow is a mean
thing to get horse mixed up in.
Would rather give the colts the light
driving, and as they become seasoned
give them some heavier work. Match
up the colts as soon as possible, and
when the teams are matched up. don't
change them around unless for good
reason. Horses have to learn how to
pull and work together.

Coal Tar Prevents onawino.

A writer In Rural New Yorker gives
this as remedy for preventing
horses gnawing their managers and
halter ties.
Il have found that by painting the
woodwork with coal tar the worst
wood-gnawing horses would never bite
1t afterward. The tar should be put on
while hot. An old broom or whisk
brush may serve as a paint brush.
! have also found way to cure a
horse of biting his halter strap or
rope by boiling the rope in water in
which a bar of cheap washing soap
has been dissolved. This remedy
tried on several horses which / have
owned never failed. One horse, when

rope in two almost as soon as tied.

pletely. This was nearly ten years
ago, and IL has not been necessary to
