CURE FOR KICKING HORSES.
Take a iin. rope that has been stretched until it cannot stretch any more, tie it.around the horse Gin. back of the padand belly band of the_ harness ; insert a short stick and twist it up nearly as tight as the rope will bear without breaking, and tie the stick so that it will stay. Fasten the horse in a stall where there is room behind him to wield a long lash whip, then strike him around the hind legs quite severely; at the second or third blow he will generally kick with both feet with all his might, but only for two or three times. If he has been in th® habit of kicking in harness, drive him with the rope on two weeks, or until he quits making any threats. Some will kick once or twice with one foot, and bob up and threaten for several days. They should be tickled or teased, or have a basket or pail thrown under them, or tied to a hind foot several times a day to make them try to kick, and until they cease to make any effort in that direction. Th© remedy is then effectual. After driving the animal half an hour the rope should be tightened. This will also cure bucking horses, or any which try to throw their riders. —Exchange.
