HOW TO KEEP HORSES PROM JUMPING FENCES.
To prevent a horse from jumping fences, O. B; Gleason recommends ; “ Perhaps no single habit of an anima' gives rise to greater annoyance, or is the cause of more damage on a farm, than this trick of jumping fences, in c n■equence of which the horse has to be kept in the stable and loses the benefi of pasturing. When wo consider the eare with which this vice can be prevented, and the advantage to both horse and owner, it seems strange that the following simple device is not more generally utilised :—A surcingle is placed round the body of the horre, with a ring directly under him A strap is *h n fastened around each foreleg, below ti e knee close- to the ankle, and a short strap or rope fastened in the strap around the off foreleg, passed thrrnch the ring in the surcingle, drawn moderately tight, and fastened to the strap aroun ’ the nigh forefoot. When this is on the hone can move cnly one leg at a time, yet, he can walk, lie down or get up, but be cannot, put both le k a forward at once, cotir«Tin —t-‘T *-e is unable to run or jump.
