Dodgeville, W

Savings are constantly being intro
duced in the postal department all over
the United States. A new lock has
been perfected for mail bags at re-
duction in weight from 1.2 ounces to
2 40 ounces. Since the government
must pay for carrying mail and equip
ment by weight, this means a big saw
ing. The 100000 locks have been re-
duced in cost from 81 cents each to
8 1-2 cents each. There is a saving of
more than $4,000 in the new locks and
also Of thousands of dollars by means
of less repairs. A large number of la
Dor saving postal devices have been in
troduced at the suggestion of employees

WHEN A HORSE BALKS.
Don't Beat Him Nor Abuse Him, but
Try This Simple Scheme.

Don't Beat Him Nor Abuse Him, but
Try This Simple Scheme.
In an article in Our Dumb Animals
Alfred H. Pope says that the balky
horse has the most sense and the con-
irmed runaway horse the least sense
Of any horse.
The bally horse is not to be cured by
beating and abuse. When horse
makes up his mind to balk he has no
room in his mind for anything else
Whipping only increases his stubborn
ness, but there is a method which goes
to the cause of the trouble. With a
single idea in his head it was reasoned
that the best way to get the horse to
move was to give him another idea
something else to think about
The trainer then remembered that
horses and mules resent interference
with their liberty to move their ears at
will. 1t was noticed that a horse never
changes his course Of action without
moving his ears. 1t was then found
that when a horse baked it annoyed
him to have one ear pushed under the
crown of the bride so that he could
not move it.
And it was also found that if the ear
was left there for about twenty min
utes he was so annoyed that he forgot
about his determination to balk. He
shook his head, turned to one side and
then the other and made every effort to
release the ear. This occupied his
mind until when the driver ordered
him to go he went After a few min
utes the ear was released and he went
on as if he had forgot all about baking.
In conclusion the writer said, This
trick will not break a horse Of baking,
but it will invariably start one that has
baked on the road, provided he hasn't
already been whipped and abused to a
point where nothing Matters
