FfitST GET HIS ATTENTION
Education of .Horse Is Based on Re
ward and Punishment—Many AnU
male Made Vicious and Unreli
able by Carelessness.
The breaking and training .of colts Is
' of prime importance, because -heir fu
ture value and usefulness depend to a
.great extent on whether or not they
- tire well broken. By a broken colt Is
meant one that is safe to handle In the
stable or on the road and that will
•- promptly obey the orders of the driver
• • or rider. ■
- Memory and habit are the two main
factors with which we. have to deal in
training horses. A horse acts through
instinct and habit, and one of Its great
est characteristics is uniformity of
conduct. Wliat a horse Is once trained
to do he. will nearly always, do «nder

. :.v Education of Horse. %
The first thing in training a horse is
■ to get his attention. The .second is to
make him understand what Is wanted.
The education of the horse is'based
on reward and punishment. The re
ward, n pat on the neck, etc., should
immediately follow the act of obedi
ence. The punishment, to be effective,
must immediately follow the act of
disobedience.
Few horses are inherently vicious.
Many horses are made vicious and un
reliable by the carelessness or unnec
essary brutality of their trainers. If
s horse kicks because the harness
hurts him, or shies at something of
Which he is afraid, punishment is not
justifiable. If, however, after being
stopped, a horse starts before receiv
ing the command to do so, he should
be punished.' Horses are naturally
obedient, and when thoroughly trained
their conduct is uniformly good.
Best Training of Horse.
A horse should be tralued so that he
thinks there is no limit to his power to
do the things required of him, and be
lieves that lie has no power to do thnt
which Is against the wishes of his
driver. Above all. never ask of a

horse something be Is unable to per-'
form and then punish him because It,
cannot be done. If during the first year
.of bis work a. colt Is hitched only to
loads that he can pull, he will develop
Into a good work horse, while If. be Is
" overloaded a few times be may become
balky and worthless. *
All horses cannot be treated alike.
A high-strung, sensitive horse must be
treated ’ gently, the dullard sharply.
The same force applied to the sensi
tive horse that Is necessary to make
the dullard act would be likely to
cnuse the high-strung horse to rebel,
While gentleness would obtain obedi
ence. •
_ • To train horses successfully a man
needs to exercise great patience, gen
tleness and firmness. If you are train
ing a horse and lose your temper, you
had better put the horse Into the sta
- hie until the next day, for farther
work at this time will be worse than
useless nod may undo the work al

stamp out the infestation once It is ful

sects that can hardly be eradicated
once it Is established in the crop. Fail
plowing is recommended because' It
breaks up the soil and destroys the
grubs and pupae.of many insects by
exposing them to the sun and air.
Farmers’ Bulletin SI-15, prepared by
the bureau of entomology, tells how
to control the most common and dan
gerous of the grain farmer’s insect
enemies. It gives briefly the life his

cutworms, grasshoppers, white grubs,

pest and the best practical remedies
for control. The bureau advises the
