.-eoudIu Is Il pretty talr man in
many ways, but he is hardly the per-
son to train animals He has hot
temper and he let's it master him.
a man who cannot control himself
can't control others"
II don't know much about break
ing colts, but | believe the old meth
DDS have been improved, have they
not"
.oe best modern method can
scarcely be called breaking. 1t is
more correctly-training."
How do you Begin
Very much as you begin to train
a child"
Yes; please go on"
"In the first place you set before
yourself an ideal \ on try to rear
your child to be a power in himself
and valuable member of society
You wish your horse in his own
sphere to be the same. You, there
fore, use your own reason and COM
mon sense in finding the best meth
DDS to bring about this result"
But the details?"
you wish the colt to work for
you, and at present he must do it
in the harness. Begin, then. by put
ting on one piece at a time, not
enough to alarm him or render him
uncomfortable Accustom him to the
bit and bride for short periods, then
for longer; teach him to yield TO the
bit in any direction-right, left, 70
ward or backward. Teach him to al
low you to handle his feet and tail.
Lead and back him into an old pair
of shafts Do these things repeatedly
before you think OF hitching him
into a Yehi, e."
Again it is highly important that
he shall not be timid, an lamp at
every trifie. Accustom him, therefore,
to all sorts of sights and sounds,
giving him time and opportunity to
understand each. Show him by your
manner that you are not alarmed
and that there is no reason why he
should be. Handle papers, robes, UNI
brellas, wheelbarrows, near him, and
if possible, leave him for awhile in
field near railroad track, that he
may become accustomed to an engine.
Again, when you begin to use him,
do not make the load so heavy or
the work so long as to discourage
him. Do not confuse him by too many
commands, nor conflicting ones; but
whenever you do give him an order
insist upon obedience"
He must know that you are his
master and fear YOU" said Mr.. Hib-
bard.
He must know that l am master
and trust me, is the way put it, re-
turned the doctor.
All! that is much better"
Il think SO, and it now becomes
my business to see that he does not
find his trust misplaced"
Just then two young men driving
by in a light wagon refined up a sa-
luted DOCTOR Gardner.
Gould you go over to Enderly
| with us in the course of a day or
two?' said one of them. Jarvis is
to bring down a lot Of horses, and We
want to buy a couple, if we can find
any to suit us
Dr. Gardner hesitated and demurr-
ed, but at last fixed upon a day to
go with them.
THE fact is, he said as they drove
away, Il don't like the job. They us
ually come for me when they think of
buying a horse, but back out of it
whenever 1 can"
who are they?" asked Mr. Hib-
| ard.
The Graham boys. Their father,
Judge Graham, was an old friend of
mine"
THAT Is a fine horse they are driv-
ing. 1t would be a good match for the
Grey knight.
lie is a splendid creature. l have
seldom seen a finer one. There seems
to be no outs about him.
Il suppose there would beno chance
of my getting him"
q think not; though for the sake
of the horse | wish you could"
Are they hard on HING
every. l don't mean like Leonard,
| They don't intend to be cruel, but
they are thoughtless. They overdrive
their horses continually, and they
leave them standing anywhere, in
drafts and cold winds, without even a
blanket"
"A horse doesn't last long under
such treatment.
| ono no decent. then they will UTp-
