TO WOUK THE WOUST SI-OILED HORSE.
Messrs. Kiiitoks. I'laee gear on the hone,
the backhand as far back as his kidney ; the
belly-band at tlie usual place. Have the traces
short, that the singletree can only pas the root
of tlie horses tail, and stop 6 or 8 inches above
his hocks, . The gear should be strong, and well
secured ait il points. It is best to have the
hone secured in hit stall for a day or two
before leading Ijiim out, that he may become us-
