22 NEW SYSTEM OF EDUCATING HORSES. 



The above horse is now gentle, as shown by the following letter : 



BUFFALO, Dec. 21, 1869. 

 PROF. MAGNER : 



Dear Sir: I consider myself in duty bound to drop you a few lines 

 respecting our once vicious horse, "Man Eater," as we called him. I 

 have often said what a good thing it was we did not shoot him. He 

 was taken out of the stable twice for that purpose, when I, on both oc- 

 casions, interceded in his behalf. He is now one of our best horses, as 

 docile as a lamb, and the drivers all like him. We work him double 

 and single, as required. All this was caused from your few minutes 

 tuition. You are aware of his past history. For weeks previous to 

 making your acquaintance we could not get a man to harness him, and 

 two of our drivers were disabled by him. When you visit the city, 

 please give us a call. 



Believe me, yours very truly, 



M. FORDE, Agent, 

 Buffalo Omnibus Company.

 of governing and educating horses is the most practical, humane and 

 valuable in its results we have ever witnessed ; can be learned and 

 practiced by any one of ordinary intelligence. He tamed a wild mare 

 in our presence in ten minutes, and, among other feats, he made her 

 sit down twice and lie down four times in a minute without touching 

 her."
