legs any way you choose. By practising this 

 process a few times, you will find him perfectly 

 gentle and submissive, and will generally follow 

 you, and is unwilling to leave you unless he be 

 very wild; the first treament will answer. — 

 Should you have a very wild horse, and cannot 

 manage him, take the button or horney sub- 

 stance which grows on the back part of the 

 horse's leg; dry this, pulverize it fine, drop a 

 few drops of oil of roses and a few drops oil 

 cummin; put some of this up his nostrils: this 

 is best done by putting it in a large quill and 

 blowing it up the nostril; feed him with a small 

 portion of it from off your hand, with a little 

 oats; also breathe your breath into his nostrils; 

 by doing this, he will permit you to handle his 

 feet, legs, &c. or permit you to get on his back, 

 or suffer you to handle as you please. By pur- 

 suing these courses, and. handling occasionally, 

 always letting hinj know what you want him 

 to do, you will be able to quiet and tame a horse 

 to become perfectly gentle.
