WHEN THE HORSE sALks.

Balkiness is an attribute Of equine
meanness which, when it manifests It,
self, is sure to appeal to the evil dis
position Of the teamster. Beating a
balky horse does not appear to reform
the vice. When exhibiting demon.
stration of balky disposition the horse
appears to be immune from the pain
of punishment and stands beating
without flinching. The animal appears
to be under the influence Of a spell,
in which it would rather die than
obey the voice of its master. The
balky horse can not be conquered by
brutal treatment, but may be induced
to pull by many devices intended to
detract attention from it's resolution
not to pull. To lift the fore foot and
pound on the shoe, to put handful
of hay or dirt in its mouth, to give q
lump of sugar or an apple to eat have
all proved successful in some In.
stances in inducing a horse to pull
To pass a cord around the pastors
and pull the forefoot forward until the
animal has to move Is also a means Of
starting q balky horse. We knew an
old fellow once back in Pennsylvania
who cured a baker by tying 1t to a
sapling and leaving it there for two
days while another horse was substi-
tuted In the team to pull away and
leave 1t there alone.-Denver Field
and Farm.
