Breaking the spirit of the horse

does not train him. He should be in first-class condition when handled, for improvement in his general con- dition may necessitate a second schooling period for the young ani-- mal. Let the developments of his ex- periences be gradual. It is unwise to neglect the young ones till some fine day when they are two years old, and then bridle and harness them and expect them to do all they are asked todo and be afraid of nothing. By that time they should be acquainted with the bridle and hit. They should know how to 'back and not object to scraps and harness being placed upon them. By coaxing and encouraging they will become accustomed to robes nd top buggies which are usually bjects of fright for the young horse. Have them touch them with their nose and learn there is no harm in them before they are attached to a

Attention fo Horses Teeth'

There are many horses of all ages

that are not thriving wall, although consuming a reasonable amount of food, and their owners are at n loss to .account for it, and often spend money in condition powders, stock food, etc., without result. The ani- mals do not show symptoms of ill- ness, but simply do not thrive, and have not the spirits or energy they bould have. The cause in the ina- rity of cases, will be found in the
