In driying a horse up to steam, I would advise the putting on o> 

 my double safety strap, and run the reins through the thill strap of 

 the pad, and drive him first up to the steam. If he makes a deter- 

 mined attempt to get away bring him to his knees. It may be 

 necessary for you to use the guy strap, having a man hold the gny 

 strap, that will hold the horse up to the steam ; but jou must be 



Tery careful not to get him burned or hurt him in any way, but 

 teach him that the steam is perfectly harmless. As soon as the 

 horse finds out that the steam will not injure him, you will find 

 that in the second or third lesson he will walk right up to it from 

 command of his master. Make your lessons short, but firm. I 

 would advise, in training horses to steam, to take them up to a trac- 

 tion engine, or up to a mill wher*> there is steam used, taking thea? 

 io the cars afterwards.
