TRAINING THE HORSE. IO9 



Teach before whipping, and when whipping do it 

 to frighten, not to enrage. 



Never jump from a wagon when your horse is run- 

 ning away. More lives and limbs are lost in that way 

 than by remaining in the wagon. 



Exercise sound judgment by purchasing a horse 

 suited to the business required of him. Some horses 

 are good saddle-horses, but might not make good 

 cart-horses. 



If a horse cribs, drive a few three-ounce tacks through 

 the throat-latch of his halter, so that the points are in- 

 ward toward the neck when the throat-latch is buckled 

 moderately tight. As he attempts cribbing, the swell 

 of the neck causes him to be pricked, which admon- 

 ishes him to quit. 



He who buys needs a hundred eyes. 



Try before you buy. 



Never spare time or labor to relieve the suffering. 



In treating a disease never spare hair.
