MAN AND HIS HORSE.
The Way to Show Approval That the
Animal Will Appreciate.


Caress plays no small art in de-
veloping the best in any horse, but this
is never to be by word of mouth. You
NAV as well curse as bless for all your
horse knows or cares. The careSS or
the hand addressed to the part with
which the animal has just performed
some feat is always appreciated-the
expression shows that-and one loves
to see good man as he lands safe
over a big place just reach back and
give the clever horse loving pat or
two on that swelling muscular lOin
which has been the chief agent in
negotiating the obstruction.
Do not pat neck or shoulder or any
part not actively engaged in the under
taking CaresS may DO no good, but
it is pleasant to believe that it does.
and we are quite positive that the
voice simply diverts attention. The for
mer mode of address Is at least worthy
Of trial if only as mark Of apprecia-
ton between two gentlemen. The
threatening tones appear sometimes
serviceable. but this is SO only when
horses have been abused and associate
punishment with the stern voice. The
wild horse is as Indifferent to the voice
of affection as to that of rage.-From
schooling the Hunter" by Frank Nj
Ware In Outing Magazine.
