To Break Horses of Pulling on the Halter.

Dr. T. 8. Mitchell, of Hamilton, Ga.-, sends the following directions to the Rural New Ycrkef: Have a stout, new rope—one that is not easily broken j knot it around the animal’s neck with a knot that will not slip (I prefer the Texan’s knot) then give the rope a ‘hitch’ around the under jaw just behind the lower tusks. Give about eight feet play of rope from his mouth to the tree. Give the rope two turn 3 around the tree; take a keen whip and whip him in ihe face until he pulls on the rope, you letting it slip a little in your hand. When he gets quiet, draw him up a second time, and a little closer. Whip him againin the face. Repeat this until he is satisfied that he cannot get off. After four or five trials he will have learned the lesson. if the operation is properly managed, after the third to the fifth trial to get away,'he will stand and allow you to whip him in the

face and never move hi* feet, and will never pull on tho bridle again. Thla Is reliable, I have used It often with succeaa. John V.
