Breaking Colts by Machinery.

A horse-breaking machine has lately been invented, and an ingenious system for training horses has now come into use. In the center of a large round building a horizontal wheel is set up. Long shafts are attached and the horses are harnessed to them, after the manner of a merry-go-round. The trainer sits in the middle and drives his circular team, one of which is always a thoroughly broken horse, which set* the pace and keeps the others In check.
