FOR THE BLACKSMITH. 



If you have a horse which you cannot man- 

 age to shoe, take up his leg as directed in the 

 kicking horse, and handle him awhile, patting 

 and rubbing all his legs, &c.; when he becomes 

 quiet, let his leg down to rest; then take it up 

 again and rub his legs as before, and let him 

 know what you are about to do to him; then 

 let his leg down and commence to shoe. Should 

 he be very fretful yet, and will not suffer you 

 to put on the shoe, you will meet Avith success 

 by making him lay down and perform as directed 

 in making the horse lay down.
