1^8 PROMISCUCr? VICES. 



Then let him on his feet and put the Double Safety 

 it ope on him, and continue the racket and shooting. 

 If he tries to get away, pull on the rope and bring him 

 to his knees. Give him two or three lessons and he will 

 be perfectly safe to drive on the street on the Fourth 

 of July, In subduing him be very careful not to let 

 any of the shooting crackers burn liim, or allow any 

 of the other devices to hurt him. Should the tin pans 

 or sleigh bells hurt him while the crackers are explod- 

 ing, he would surely thiuk that it was the fire crackers 

 that caused the pain: hence you will lose the very 

 point that you are trying to gain. 



BAD TO BRIDLE. 



For a horse hard "to bridle there is no better 

 remedy than simply to use about half an hour's 

 patience once or twice a day for a day or two, and 

 your horse will begin to want to be bridled. If he 

 is not too vicious you should go into the stall with him 

 and begin at the neck to handle and fondle him. If 

 it is the ears that are sensitive and he don't want to be 

 touched there, work down about the nose first; as 

 his fears subside, work up about the ears, touch them 

 very gently at first, aaid as he will bear it, stroke them 

 faster and a little more carelessly; then lay your right 

 arm over liis neck and press down gradually until his 

 nose is nearly to the ground, all the time keeping his 

 attention with your left hand by stroking his nose and 

 forehead.
