In reply to a query published in the New York Tribune, asking for a remedy to break a horse off the annoying practice of pawing in Lis stall, a correspondent .replied : —"1 would say that the following plan adopted by a friend of mine proved a perfect cure for a pawing lior.se : —He procured a leather strap just long enough to buckle around the fetlock joint, to which 'he attached a strong iron chain about a foot long. After one or two applications the horse was entirely cured, the whipping of the chain against his legs proving so unpleasant he soon ceased to indulge himself in his favourite pastime." Another replied : —"One of your correspondents inquires how he can stop his horse from pawing in the stall. If he will fasten with a strap above the knee of each fore leg a piece of trace-chain about a foot and half in length, letting it hang down on the leg, he will have , no further annovanec from that source."'
