Among the few who are engaged in the education of the fine horses of the country this matter is well understood, and to great extent/el ied upon. The fact of the great speed attained by our modern trstters is largely due to thqjemployment of a system of true education, and an appeal to the horse intelligence. There is as much difference in the value of an educated horse and an uneducated one, as there Is in the ways*of an accomplished scholar and the Chinese laborer—and how easy a matter it is to give the horse this education. If a colt is never allowed to get an advantage, it will never know that it possesses a power that man cannot control; and if made familiar with strange objects it will not be skittish and nervous. If a horse is made accustomed from his early days to have objects hit him on the heels, back and hips, he will pay no attention to the giving out of harness or of a wagon running against him at an unexpected moment. Horses, when once given to understand the situation, are easily managed thereafter. Farmers who are engaged in raising horses should avail themselves of every opportunity to learn the best mode of handling colts, and then see to it that the boys act in conformity with the methods. But, in all your handling of stock, let kindness bo a'prominent feature. —Oregon Journal.
