Animals are often sulky, and quickly acquire 

 the habit of lying down. Balky horses, when 

 urged to go, will lie down and refuse to get up,

 when before the plough. When the habit is 

 thoroughly settled, it becomes very annoying to 

 the owner or driver, who often resorts to severe 

 means, but fails to accomplish the end desired ;

Raise the animal's head up, as illustrated in 

 the foregoing plate, and pour into his nostril a 

 small quantity of water, not to exceed a pint,
