PROMISCUOUS VICES. 127 



ing Bridle, take the cord in left hand and whip in right 

 hand, and lead him right up to the engine. Have the 

 "engineer let off steam by degrees until he will allow 

 himself to he covered with steam. If you can not get 

 him close enough to the engine with this bridle, you 

 may lay him do^\Ti on a soddy piece of ground and hold 

 him there while the engine is run up by the side of him. 

 Then have him covered up with steam. You can hardly 

 convince a horse that steam is harmless unless you can 

 get him right into it. As he learns and submits to what 

 you w^ant him to, you should caress and treat him kind- 

 ly. One of the main objects of these lessons is to teack 

 the animal that you are his friend and protector. Get 

 him to have confidence in you, and he will almost g© 

 through fire with you. Give your horse one lesson a 

 day for three days, similar to, the one just described, 

 then he will be ready to hitch up and drive about steam. 

 It would be advisable to put on the Double Safety Kope 

 the first time or two you drive him about the cars. 

 Eemember that one lesson will not be sufficient to edu- 

 cate your horse that the cars are harmless, but if 

 you will have patience enough to give three or four 

 lessons according to the above instructions ycu will 

 come out victorious. 



AFRAID OF SHOOTING. CRACKERS. 



Lay the horse down and fire off, a number at a time, 

 wli.l-Q he is down, and by degrees throw them out faster 

 until you have whole packs of them going off at once.
