Question. What do you think of the word "whoa ?" 



A?is7uer. It is the greatest command that we have in horseman- 

 ship ; it is the habit of almost every person when driving to con- 

 tinually use the word "whoa." Now let me say to you that you 

 should never use this word only when you want your horse or horses 

 to stop. If you are driving along a street and you come to a cross* 

 ing or a bad place and you wish your horses to slack up in speed, 

 use this language to them : "Steady there, my boy;" but when you 

 wish them to stop, speak out sharply and firmly "whoa." If you will 

 practice this when you are driving your horse, in two weeks you 

 will have him so that he will understand every command that you 

 give him.
