Question. How wonld joa break a Horte from switohing hif 

 taiir 



Answer. Place on the horse a collar and hames, and then take 

 hold of his tail. Take a wooden pin five inches long, one inch in 

 diameter, lay directly across the hair of his tail, double the end of 

 ttie tail over the pin ; then take a rope eight feet long, in the middld 



of the rope make a slip-knot and fasten over the end of the tail and 

 pin ; then bring the horse's tail up over his back, bringing one of 

 these ropes dow n to the ring of the hame and tying it, and on the 

 other side in the same way ; the rope prevents the tail from going 

 either side ; take an ordinary cloth surcingle and put thafc over and 

 around his body ; leave the tail up in this manner for six hours ; if a 

 very bad case, repeat three times. This is the best method I ever 

 Qsed, and will surely do its work.
