Rad HABITS OF COLTS
Trick Once Learned Becomes
Harder to Break Each Day.
ExampIe Cited Of City Man Who A.

Animal of Extremely Nerv-
GUS Disposition
tBy J. M. BELL..)


The secret OF breaking a colt prop
erly is to keep him from learning bad
habits, not curing him of them after
they have been acquired, although the
latter must be done If he has acquired
them, providing you want we'll
broken horse.
A bad trick once learned soon be-
comes set habit, becoming harder
to cure each day if not stopped in the
earliest stages.
Let me cite an example: A neigh
Dor Of mine has very fine colt that
he put in the hands of a trainer to
break to light harness. double and
single, and also the saddle.
The trainer knew his business and
in months time the colt was fairly
steady in harness and under the
saddle, but, being of nervous dispo-
sition and rather suspicious Of human
beings, had to be handled very care
fully.
He was especially nervous when
anyone approached his head, whether
he was tied In his stall or to a hitch
ing post, and inclined to run back
against the halter or bride if APP
preached too hnrriedly.
The trainer-a real horseman who
noticed all peculiarities of the many
different horses he handled from time
to time, was extremely careful not to
excite this particular colt and GER
tainly not when he was tied.
Consequently, the colt, although
showing signs of nervousness at times.
never attempted to really pun back
and break away.
The trainer left, after his work was
done, and soon afterward a city cousin,
a good fellow, but no horseman, paid
my neighbor a visit and he was given
the colt to ride.
{ Now. although the city man was no
horseman in the strict acceptance OF
the word, yet he was devoted to horse

Mack Sennett was going to the San

o'clock in the morning, and twenty
miles from nowhere, Mack found that
his supply of gasoline had given out.
There was nothing to do but sit by
the side of the road and wait for some
thing to come along, which Mack pro-
ceeded to do. He had waited but a
few minutes when he heard the sound
of wheels on the road and soon a
wagon was distinguishable in the
dark.
There's a ten spot in it if you haul
me to town." hailed Mack.
The driver readily consented and
Mack settled down for a three-hour
ride. They were drawing into a little
burg when Mack remarked that It
was rather early for the driver to be
on the road

IMPROVE THE RURAL HOMES
Kentucky Club Formed to Stimulate
Farmers Interest in Crops and
Beauty Their Premises.
By L. p. BRowNING.)

(by Ia r. BROWNlNG.)
A commercial club in Kentucky has
appropriated a sum Of money to be
given as prizes among the residents OF
certain section of the country for
the best-kept lawns and the best dis
plays of farm and garden products.
The idea of the club is to induce the
people living in that section to inn
prove their surroundings and beautify
their premises. It believes in the
value Of keeping up appearances and
that there is q, profit in Identification
which rural communities are not apt
to appreciate. This organization
thinks there are many rural homes
that could be greatly improved in ap-
pearance by neatly kept lawns. at
traetive shrubs and well-cultivated gar
dens, and has come to the conclusion
that timely attention given to details
Of this character by the farmer would
not only vastly improve the appear
ance of his place. but stimulate his
interest In the success OF all his crops.
