PROFBSSOB A. J. MORROW,

Of Bos6Lnciu.et.

The fiiBt remtrk I wish to ni«k« »• tbtt I maT b« diitmotly undfnitood inwhat I am about to write, which I am per- ■uaded, beyond a doubt, will prove a crowning Mcceaa, if not derjated from.

3ln regard to elevatlof; the imffering of man and beaat, and haat^niDit the Riiioh ne«<led i-eform. in the obscure po«iMon which many of my fellowBaorUi* are occupying, with their noblest wrvaDt the horw.

CAREUINS TBI H0R8I.

There are no two homes with habits and dUpoaitions prwjisely alike ; yet whilst there are no two alike, there are oerUin thingt that affect all horsee alike. When you pat and carea the horse, you say to him that whaUjer he is doing is right. You have only to get the ho.se to kick at you, and then nam him for it, and he will do it again when you ask hm, for be tliinka that it is right, and what you want, him to do ; so neTsr careas the horse until he haa done what you went him, and then new fail to caress and encourage hire. You cannot teach the horse a single word of the English language, or any other hnguHRe, without » sign. That is, you must either show him, or force hw body to more. A forced move of the horse's body is a sign to him, and is equivalent in his mind to a willing move, if you only assure him by careasing immediately afterwards, that bo lias dono what you wanted him to do.

OBKOIZNCE TO TH» WORD Or COMMA :»D.

From the time you commence to educate the horse until you have his eduea- tion completed, you mubt not ask him to do anything unless you sre in a position to force obedience, so that you can prove satisfactorily to his mind, that hemustobcy the word of command, and cannot help himself. When he haa perfectly obeyed the word without being forced, then do not fail to caress hira immediately, for this, while it assuros him of the important fact, that what h* has done is right, it also proves to him that you are his best friend. Ihat mo- ment he ia yours, and he will love you, and take delight in obeying you.

■ ■ LOVM AFD TABU OBLIOBT I« OBKTIHO TOO.

Why does he lore you, and Uke delight in obeying you t Simply ^"^ Tou have oocuiiied the position that you forced obedience, and he eoald not he p himself; then, after heperftectly obeyet* *he word of command, yon immediately carMicd him, which proved to him thr u were his best friend.

4 ■ '

BION or SUt. SION.

The aiffn of a horse having yielded, and Ijecome willing to dt what you ask WM*W» submUively, is that he will relax the muscifls of every pari of hi* Doay.

VOimoL TBI MoCTB.

PlMM Uk« Dotic« of what you «i« reading, and bear io mind that all of aif tv*. tarn of hor«,maii8hip depends alone upon the iniporUnt fact, that when too oon- ♦rol the hor«.a mouth you control hin whole body. All you have to do, ia toeom- ^l I ul^'*' *° "'■» *!!' •"""•»•« of liiB mouth, and quit flshtinx the bit, theo hie whole body .a eon|«lled to yield to th« reaiatleM |>oweror the bit, and hie ednea- vSiiuJLT !"^ *'''*.^,*"»'» babit the horse may have for«..d, 1 will place you in a poiilion tUatjoo ',Ti 1 oou.p«. him to gi.? it up, and obey you perfectly. That 1. by uaing the World h Excel.sior ExFra Lc.ver.Re Bit. fb» iVa bit whi" I have invented, which perfectly aooompliahea the end designed, without bruw.ngorlacerat.n«hi. mouth. A hor«, umy drive on ever so.lSk "reiS ordinarily, but do not be deceived, whenever he attempU to baulk, kick, run- away Shy or bolt, you have no oontrol over hitf mouth, and he knows full well Ibat he can do .ilmost as he pleases, which is too often the case, and roeulu in (be loss of the poor unenlightened teamiter's life.

RELAX THB MUSCLES OF THE MOCTH.

My reade« please tnke notice, all that you want to have thehorae under your complete control under all cn-c.irastances, is to benr i.. mind what is here written

Then he will obey you in whatever way the rem and word of command direct him, persuaded in his own mind K«l/ •« co'npel ed to obey the rein and word of command, and cannot heli» himself. Now, when he does this perfectly, do not fail to caress him for it

You must noi oease this performance until tho horse is perfectly persuaded that he cannot null hard onough to break the halter, and also, that neither yo- or any S will hurt r.m. When he stands perfectly quiet and carelei, with aU Thi. muscles relaxed, then walk up and caress him, pronouncing whoa! diatinctly Now the colt has l^rned the sad mistake that he wa. laboring under, to at S he could break the halter, or that any object, or you. would hurt him.

To t'Top OvER-KEACmsa. —The reason a horee over re<ioliea ia laicxuae his hind legs are more active than his forward leg\ To stop him all you will hayn to do, in an extreme case is to have bis nhoea one-tnird heavier behind than in front, and tlrnt will equalise his limbs, if he ii« only a partial over-reacher he will not requira so much.

To Stop a Horse InterFBRKIXO. — This ia also natural to a horse. In an ex- treme case all th»t you will have to do, is to have his shoes on«-third iieavier on the inside, and alao the inside caulk one-third longer, this will perfectly stop iim of intcrfereing. If he is only a partial intcrfertr he wont require so much.

To have the horse shod perfectly sharp yet so that he cannot caulk himself and also the caulk will stop sharp as long as the best steel caulk, all that yon will have to do is to keep the heel caulk [lerfectly dull, and the toe perfectly sharp. Now to hardeu tho toe caulk so as that it will keen sharj), and wont wear out any sooner tlwn a steel caulk, take a handful of salt, lay it on a board and when th« ^ toe-canik is shariMsned, and shoo ready to nail on, put toe caulk in the iire briag' .: to a welding heat aid hold in tho salt for 15 secoads, then throw it in a tub of cold water and it is all right. <

Fitting the shoe hot is an absui-d practice, and you must not all^w it iJ6 h« » done. It causes an unhealthy secretion of the shell of the foot and it becomes ftiliard, dry and brittle, and results in contraction.

*, Rasping the whole surface of the hoof for tho purpose of tnakinc it look nice . and smooth, you must not allow to be done. Nature hasprovidod a barky

You muitt not have beola of tho ahoe 8|>read behind aa ia always the practice; turn the heela in to lit tho ahell of the foot; have tho beela of the ahoe one quarter of an inch widur than the ahell at the heel, and no wider, and alnn have tlie shoe one quarter of an inch longer and no mora. While curing contracted feet, the horae muat b* ■bod every month fur tivo or aix ahofiingi, w h«ii Tcui aiu turnine the heela of the ahoea do not turn them gradually but aqnarn down.

W hen yiu drive eight naila in the foot, it is in an iion vice, aud cannot expand aa nature would have it. When you do not sprawl tho heels aw»j onl to oonti-act the foot, aix nails is sufficient and vrbat oioro do you want. To iJraw nil tlie inflammation out of hia contracted foot you must apply a poultioo of liuaeed meal every night ; the same |H>ultice will do tihroe or four timo^ by wetting >. • *> water alno apply a mixture of tar, lai-d and turpentine, equal quantit >i jf each, to tho lio>f twice a week. To make it grow rapidly the poultice nui^t be mixed up with milk warm water, you may work the hoino rivjht along if yon want t), and if n.it, you muat keep the poultice 011 throngii the day us w«II.
