The photo herewith presented was taken 

 from the life of "Queen," the high school mare, 

 and "Princess," her three-months-old educated 

 colt. The author has taught "Princess" to per- 

 form many tricks, such as to lie down at his word 

 or command, and she will not get up until he 

 mention the words, "The scavenger is coming to 

 get you." She will also carry a handkerchief to 

 and from anywhere, kneel down, make a bow, 

 count with her front leg, give you the "yes" and 

 "no" signal by means of shaking her head, the 





Spanish walk, or better known as the "cake 

 walk/' bring her up to another horse and tell her 

 to talk to that horse, in which event she moves 

 her mouth the same as any person would, stand 

 on a pedestal, follow the author about the streets 

 without being led, and numerous other tricks. 

 The author taught "Princess" these tricks in one 

 month's time. This will give you an idea w T hat 

 can be accomplished with your colt at the age of 

 three months.
