Reure with the animal to he operated upon tfo a close stable, with plenty of litter upon : or (tanhark or sawdust is preferable.) .. the first place fasten up the left fore leg liib ;iu arm strap, in such a manner that it be permanently secured. Then take a :J strap and buckle and pass it around the ck just back of the jaw-boue. Draw the up ss tight ns possible, so tight as to almost >t the horse’s breathing. The strap must : he buckled, but held in this position to pre- ■..! slipping back. The auimal will strug- ; for a few minutes when he will become per tly ipiict, overpowered by a sense of suft’o- : u; the veins in his head will swell; his ; lose their lire; his kuces totter and be- • weak; a slight vertigo will ensue, and riug gradually exhausted by backing him and the stable, he will come down on his c . iii which position it is an easy matter t ush him on his side, when his throat should released. Now pat and rub him gently rahjiit twenty minutes, when, in most in- r-, he will he subdued. It is only in ex- •r;.ie cases necessary to repeat the operation v ; king. The next lesson is to teach him u'lloivu, which is described below in the v cut of the second method of taming. ^ No recall clfectually resist the terriblo effects ’■ being choked. . • It must be constantly borne in mind that v operator must not be boisterous or violent, - J that the greatest possible degree of kind- > is absolutely essential.

This process requires -rag,. ;,i the operator, and also great mus- -lir utength. •I"-ther method of Taming a Hone, also to T '«fhhim.lo Lie Down.—Tho horse to hcop- r;,: «l upon should be led into a close stable. . operator should bo previously provided 'Jth a stout leather lmltcr; a looped strap to "P ov cr the auimal’s knee; a strong sircinglc, " J a long and short strap—the first to fasten ; U ®<1 the fore-foot which is at liberty, anil ae second to permanently secure the leg which 'looped up. /" tlie first place, if tho horse be a biter, muz- lui« ; then lift and bend liis left fore leg, l! !' ”ip a loop over. Tho leg which is loop- j 1 u p must he secured by applying the short ,r ap. buckicing it around the pastern joint j *°rc-ami; next put on the sircinglc, and i "'J' n 'lie long strap around the right fore j ' ^‘d pass the end through a loop attach- *° die surcingle; after which fasten on u d u l'ie of thick leather knee-pads—theso can |, °*i in the first place if convenient.-- iij P*d» are necessary, as some horse* in •••ur struggle, come violently on their knees, admg them badly. Now take a short hold of the long strap with your right hand; stand on the left side of the horse, grasp the bit in your left hand; while iu this position back him gently about the stable until he become so exhausted ns to exhibit a desire to lie down, which desire should be gratified with as little violeucc as possible; bear your weight firmly against the shoulder of the horse, and pull steadily on tho strap with your right hand; this will force him to raise his foot, which should be immediately pulled from under him. This is the critical moment; cling to the horse, and after a few struggles ho will lie down. In bearing against the animal do not desist from pulling and pushing until you have him on his side. Prevent him from attempting to rise by pulling his head toward his shoulder. As soon as he is done struggling, caress his face and neck ; also handle every part of his body, and render yourself tfs familiar as possible. After he has lain quietly for twenty minutes let him rise, and immediately repeat the ope ration, removing the straps as soon as he is down ; and if his bead is pulled toward his shoulder, it is impossible for him to get up. After throwing him two to five times, the an imal will become as submissive and abject as a well trained dog, and you need not be afraid to indulge in any liberties witliliim. A young liorsc is subdued much quicker than au old one. as his habits arc not confirmed. An in corrigible horse should have two lessons a day; about the fourth icsson lie will be permanent ly conquered. If the operation is repeated several times, lie can be made to lie down by simply lifting up his fore-leg and repeating the words, “Lie down, sir,” which he must be previously made familiar with. The following rules will serve as a guide to xlie amateur operator, and should be strictly observed; First: The horse must not be forced down by violence, hut must he tired cut till he lias a strpng desire to lie down. Secondly : he must be kept quiet on the ground until the expression of the eye shows that he is tranquilised, which invariably takes place by patiently waiting and gently patting the liorsc. Thirdly ; Care must be taken not to throw the horse upon his neck when bent, as it may easily be broken. Fourthly ;_In hack ing him no violence must he used, or he may bo forced on his haunches mid his back bro ken. Fifthly: The halter and off rein are held in the left baud, so as to keep tlic head away from tlic latter : while, if the horse, at tempted to plunge, the halter is drawn tight, when, the off-leg being raised, the animal is brought on his hftccs, and rendered pow erless for offensive purposes. The operations of teaching a liorsc to follow a man, and also to cure him of kicking and balking, should he preceded by the throw ing down process, and in bad cases by the choking operation, as the animal is thus ren dered gentle, tractable, and obsequiously obe dient to whatever he can be taughtto compre hend. This subsequent educational course is necessary in order to render the reformation permanent. How to Break Colls.—The following instruc tions witli relation to the management and hreakiug of colts, and the subsequent opera tions upon obdurate! and ungovernable horses were originally written and published by Mr. Rurey, some three years ago, and are an im portant part of his system, although coining moro puvticularlv under tho head of training, atlicr tliau taming. If a colt is properly bro ken in his first encounter with man, the ne cessity for a method of taming, other than lint used for wild horses, would never have been experienced ; therefore, these instruc tions arc peculiarly valuable. How to Halter, Saddle and llridel a Coll.— [n breaking a colt, we should first endeavor to make him conscious of what is required of bim. Fettering him with a halter for.the first time, placing the saddle upon his back, fas tening the girths, are all matters of paramount importance, demanding the greatest degree of patience, perseverance and intuitive knowl edge of his idiosyncracies. llcfore putting a halter upon a colt, lie must be rendered fa miliar with it by caressing him and permitting him to examine the article with liis nose. Then place a portion of it over his head, occasion ally giving it a slight pull, and in a few min utes lie will be accustomed to theso liberties, thcnjjic halter may be fastened on properly. To teach him to lead is another difficulty. Stand a little on one side, rub his nose and forehead, take hold of the strap and pull gent ly, and at the same time touch him very gent ly with the end of a long whip across the hind legs. This will make him start and advance fftew steps. Repeat the operation a few times, and he will soon learn to follow you by simply pulling the halter. The process of bridling and saddling is sim ilar. The mouth of the colt should he frequent ly handled, after which hold a plain suaffle be tween his teeth, and hold it there with one hand, and caress him with the other. After a while lie will allow the bridle to bo placed upon him. Tho saddle cau now he brought in and rubbed against his nose, his neck and Ins legs;next hang the stirrup strap across Ins hack, and gradually insinuate the saddle into its place. The girth should not be fastened until lie becomes thoroughly acquainted with the saddle. The first time the girth is buck led, it should be done so loosely as not to at tract his attention; subsequently it can be tightened without inspiring fear, winch if fas tened immediately it would most certainly do. In this manner the wildest colt can be effec tually subjugated by such imperceptible de grees that he gives tacit obedience before he is aware of his altered condition. The Proper Way t» Bit a Coll.—1 ariners often put u bitting harness on a colt the first thing they do with him,buckling up the jutting as tight as they can draw it, to make him car ry liis head high, and then turn him out on a lot to run half a day at a time. This is one of tfic worst punishmeuts that they could inflict on a colt, and very injurious to a young liorsc that has been used to running in pastures with his head down. , . ., A horse should be well accustomed to tlic hit before you put on the bitting harness, and when you first bit him you should only rein his head up to that point where he naturally holds it, let that be-high or low ; he will soon learn that he cannot lower his head, and that raising it a little will loosen the bit in Ins inoutffi This will give him the idea of r *using his head to loosen the bit, and then you cau draw tbo bitting ai little tighter, cvcrj time you put it on, andlic will still raise bis head to loosen it. By this means you will gradually get his head and neck in the position you wish him to carry it, and give linn a giacc- ful carriage, without hurting him, making him angry, or causiug his mouth to get sore. If you put the bitting on very tight the first time he cannot raise liis head enough to loos en it. hut will hear on it all the time, aiul pay, sweat and throw himself. Many horses have been killed by falling backward with the bit ting on; their heads being drawn up, strike the ground with the whole weight of the bodj. Ilorst s that have their heads drawn up tight > should not have the bitting on more than fif teen or twenty minutes at a time. U t ■ Harness tl" Coll.—\ on should, y a means, have your harness nude to fit your a,. 11,1 ,n:lU, ;‘ ' 'a Take vour harness into the through the ,a„ie process that you did with the saddle, letting the colt examine j your harness satisfactorily; then put it on carefully-; and after you have it all complete, then putou your lines; use them gently as he is rather skittish, until lie is used to them a little; then lead him back and forth into the stable until lie does not seem to mind tlic fit ting of the harness to his body; then take hold of the end of the traces and pull slightly at first, increasing your strength until he will pull you across the stable back and forth; then hitch him to whatever you wish him to pull. To hitch up the Colt.—This should be done with great caution, first letting him examine tho buggy or sulky iu his own way of examin ing objects ; then carefully hitch him up; hav ing everything safe, let him start the buggy empty, and pull that at first in that way ;_ then get in, and let him take it slow and he will not be near so apt to scare, aud by degrees you will be making a good work-beast. If you want to have a horse that will be true to pull and think ho can pull a mountain, never hitch liiin to anything that he cannot pull, and after he is used to pulling he just thinks he can pull anything,because he always has, and he docs not know anything about liis strength beyond his experience. The kind of hit,and how to accustom the colt to it—Yon should use a large, smooth, snaffiebit, so as not to hurt liis mouth, with a bar on each side to prevent the bit from pulling through either way. This you should attach to the head stall of your bridle aud put it on your colt without any reins to it, and let him run loose in a largo stable or shed some time, until he becomes a little used to the hit, aud will bear it without trying to get it out of his mouth. It would be well, if convenient, to repeat this several times before you do anything more to the colt; as soon as he will bear the bit, attach a single rein to it, without any martingale. You should also have a halter on your colt, or a bridle made after the fashion of a halter, with a strap to it, so that you cau Lold or lead him without pulling on the bit much, lie is now ready for the saddle. How to Mount the Colt—First soothe him well on both sides about the saddle, aud all over, until he will stand without holding, aud is not at raid to see you anywhere about him. As soon as you have him thus gentled, get a small block, about one foot or eighteen inches in height, and set it down by the side of him, about where you want to stand to inouut him; step up ou this, raising yourself very gently; horses notice every chaugc of position very closely, ami if you were to step suddenly on tlic block, it would be apt to scare him; but by raising yourself gradually ou it, lie will sea you without being frightened, iu a position very near the same ns when you are on his back. As soon as lie will hear this without alarm, untie the stirrup strap next to you, and put your left foot in the stirrup, and square over it, holding your knee against the horse and your toe out, so as not to touch him under the shoulder with the toe of your hoot. 1‘Iacc your right hand on the front of the saddle, and on the opposite side of you, taking hold of a portion of the mane and reins, as they hang loosely over the neck, witli your left hand; then gradually bear your weight ou the saddle. Repeat this several times, each time raise your- eelf a little higher from the block, until he will allow you to raise your leg over his croup and place yourself in the saddle. There are three great advantages in liaviug ablock to mount from. First, a sudden change of position is very apt to frighten a youDg horse who lias never been handled. Ho will allow you to walk up to him and stand by his side without scaring at you, because you have wonted him to that position, but if you get down on your hands aud knees and crawl to ward him, he will be very much frightened ; aud upon the same principle, he would frighten at your new position if you had the power to hold yourself over his neck without touching him. Then the first great advantage of the block is to gradually accustom bim to that new position in which he will sec you when you ride him. ' . Secondly, by the process of leaning your weight in the stirrups and oil your hand, you can gradually accustom him to your weight, so as not to frighten him hy having him feel it all at once. And, in the third place, the block elevates you so that you will not have to make a spring in order to get on the horse’s hack, hut from it you can gradually raise yourself into the saddle. SUHSKqUEHT educatioxau uessows in horse TAMING—HOW TO SUnDUE A KICKING HORSE. A kicking horse is the worst kind of a horse to undertake to subdue, and more dreaded by man than any other; indeed, it would not be too much to say that they arc more dreaded than all the other bad and vicious horses put together. You often hear the expression, even from horse jockies themselves, “ I don’t care what lie does, so he doesn’t kick.” Now, a kicking horse can be broken from kicking in harness, and effectually broken, too, though it will require some time to manage him safely; but perservcraucc and patience by this rule will do it effectually. When you go to har ness a liorsc that you know nothing about, if you want to know whether lie is a kicking horse or not, you can asccrtaiu that fact by strok ing him on the flank where the hair lies up ward, which you can discover easily on any horse. Just stroke him down with the ends of your fiugers, and if he does not switch his tail, and shake his head, and lay back liis ears, or some of these, you need not fear his kicking. If lie does any or all these, set him down fora kicking horse, aud watch him closely. When you harness a kicking horse, have a strap about three feet long with a buckle ou one end ; have several holes punched in the strap; wrap it once around his leg just above the hoof; lift up his foot touching liis body; put the strap around tlic arm of his leg, and buckle it; then you go behind him, and pull back on the traces; you must not fear his kicking while his foot is up, for it is impossi ble for him to do it. Practice him in this way awhile, and lie will soon learn to walk on three legs. You should not hitch him up until you have practiced him with liis leg up two or three times, pulling on the traces, and walking him along. After you have practised him a few times in this way, take up his foot as directed; hitdi him to something, and cause him to pull it a short distance; then take him out; caress him every time you work with him. You will find it more convenient to fasten up his left fore-foot, because this is the side you arc ou. After you have had him hitched up once or twice, you should get a mug strap, put it around his foot as before directed (above the hoof and below the pastern joint;) put it through a ring in your harness; take hold of it in your hand; liitch him up gently, and if he make a motion to kick, you can pull up Ins foot and prevent it. You should use this strap until you have him broken from kicking, which will not take long. You should hitch a kick ing horse by himself; you can manage lnm better iu this way than to hitch him by tlic side of another liorsc. ll' C to hrriik a liorsc. from scaring. It is ail established rule in philosophy that there is not an effect without a cause, and if so, there must be some cause for the scaring of ahorse. The horse scares either from imagination or from pain. Now, it is a law of liis nature, that if you will convince him that any object will uo t hurt him, there is no danger of lus scaring at it no matter how frightful it may be in ap pearance. To exemplify this, take a horse that is very easily seared at an umbrella; take that horse iuto a tight stable, where you can have his attention; take him by the briddle, and bold the umbrella in your hand, when he first looks at it, lie will be afraid of it, and if he could, he would soon be out of its reach; but hold it in your hand, let him look at it and feel it with his nose a few minutes, and then you can open and,shut it as you please, occa sionally letting him feel it with his nose, and soon he will care nothing about it. In the same manner you can break any horse from scaring at things that may look frightful to him, logs, stumps by the roadside, or any thing that you may wish to carry on him. If you wish to make a trial of this theory, just take a horse into the stable, and let him exam ine the frightful object a few minutes after his mode of examining tilings, and you will be per fectly satisfied. We have tried horses that woul'd not suffer you to take an umbrella on them shut, and in fiftceu minutes you could open and shut it at pleasure, and they will pay no attention to it. There is something peculiar in the horse (though it is because he has not the faculty of reasoning.) You can take an object that he is afraid of, take it only on one side, let him examine it on that side only ; do not let the other eye see it; he will be broken on one side; and, as soon as the eye beholds it, will be afraid till he looks at it and touches it with his nose; then he will be broken on both sides. How to Teach a Horse to Folloio You.—Take him into a large stable or shed, take hold of the bridle or halter with your left hand, have a long switch or whip in your right; after caressing him a little put your right hand over bis shoulder with the whip extendiug back so that you cau touch him up with the whip, ap plied gently around his hind legs. Start up a little, give him a gentle tap with the whip, walking him around the stable, saying to him, “Come along boyor call him by his name, taking him arouud the stable a few times, holding him by the bridle. After you have taken him around in this way, a few times, you can let go of his bridle, saying, •*Come along boy,” aud if he stop, tap him with the whip gently, and in a short time he will learn that you want him to follow you; then gradually get before him, have him to follow around tho stable in this way a £»* minutes., then he will understand what you want him to do. After wc have taught him to follow iu the stable take him iuto the stable lot, learn him to follow you in that a few minutes ; then you can take him into the public road or street, and lie will follow you there, and in a short time he will follow you wherever you want him to. You should often pat him and caress him, and give him to understand that you do not intend to hurt him, and he will soon like to follow you. Meu often get their horses afraid of them and keep them so, and it is their nature to keep out of danger when they appre hend it, after their manner of arriving at con clusions. The way horses arrive at conclu sions is generally from experience. Howto Teach a Horse td.Staiul Without Hitch- ...g. After you have taught your horse to fol low you, stand him the centre of the stable, be gin at his head to gentle him, gradually work ing backward. If lie moves, give him a gen tle cut with the whip, aud put him back in the same spot from which he started. If lie stands, caress him beforo, and eontinuo gontling him iu this way until you can get arouud him with out making him move. Keep walking around him, increasing your pace, and only touch him occasionally. Every time he moves, put him back into the same place; go still further from him, if he moves give him a cut with your whip, place him back in the same place. It he stands, go to him frequently aud caress him. Do not let lain stand too long, but make him follow you around in the stable. Then stand him in auother place and proceed as before. After you have him so that lie will stand in the sta ble, take him out in the lot and place him there, and in a short time you can place him any where without hitching. You should not prac tice him longer than half au hour at a time. On Balking.—It you have halkv horses, it is your fault aud not the horse’s; for if they do not pull true, there is some cause for it, and if you will remove the cause, the effect will cease. . Wheu your liorsc balks, he is excited, and does not know what you want him to do. When he gets a little excited, stop him five or ten minutes; let him become calm; goto the balky horse, pat him, and speak gently to him; and as soon as he is over his excitement, he will, nine cases out of teu, pull at the word ; whip ping and slashing and swearing only make the matter worse. After you have soothed him awhile, and his excitement has cooled down, take him by the bits ; turn him each way as far as you can ; pull out the tongue; soothe him a little; unrein him; then step before the balky horse, and let the other start first; then you can take him anywhere you wish. A balky horse, is always high spirited, and sf arls quick ; has his pull out before the other starts. By stauding before him the other starts, too. By dose application of the route, you can make any balky horse pull. If a liorsc has been badly spoiled, you should hitch him to the empty wagon, and pull it around awhile ou level ground ; then put on a little load, aud increase it gradually, caressing as before, and in a short time you will have a good horse that will work without troubling you.

Loss of Appetite, Despondency, Costiveness, Blind aud Bleeding Piles. In all Nervous, Rheumatic, and Neuralgic Affec tions, it has in numerous instances proved highly beneficial, and in others effected a decided cure. This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared ou strictly scientific principles, after the manner of the - celebrated Holland Professor, Boeroave. Becnuse of its great success in most of the European States, its introduction iuto the United States was intended more especially for those of onr fatherland scattered here and there over the face of this raignty country. Meeting with great success among them, I now offer it to the American public, knowing that its truly wonderful medicinal virtues must be acknowledged. It is particularly recommended to those persons whose constitutions may have been impaired hy the continuous use of ardent spirits, or other forms of dissipation. Generally instantaneous iu effe.f, it finds its w ay directly to the seat of lifthrilling and quickening every nerve, raising up the drooping spirit, and, iu fact, infusing new health and vigor in the system. _ . , , Notici - ..—Whoever expects to find this a beverage —in i.o uionppmnted; but to Ytle sick, weak and low spirited, it will prove a grRteful aromatic cordial, possessed of singular remedial oroporties. CAUTION i The great popularity of this delightful Aroma has induced many imitations, which the public .bould guard against purchasing. Be not persuaded to buy anything else until you have given Boerlmve’s Hol land Bitters a fair trial.
