WORTH KNOWING.
Not long siqoe (writes a correspondent of the American Agriculturist); l saw a method of reatvaining hovses from jumping, and was assured hy those who were using it that it. proved efficacious. It consists of a sursingle about the Ijody of the horse, together with two short straps that pass through the sursingle and around each fore-leg, being buckled so that when the horse stances upright, the straps will faU about half - way ito the knees, .^This, arrangement, ; . wjiich allows tlie horse to walk quite freely, prevents its runnjng as, {fell as jumping. A similar, plan -is to fipnpect jth© forelegs of a horse by scraps secured just above the ku-ees, butjthose who have tried both plans preferithe.one I he.ve.VjFith illustrated. Some hpraes. ure^ difficult to catch vhen at pasture^; and the device will prove valuable ia such cases.
