I once saw a plan in a newspaper to make a bad horse stand to be shod^ which was to fasten down one ear. There was no reason given why you should do so; but I tried several times, and thought it had pretty good effect,—though I would not recommend its use, especially sticking his ears together. The only benefit arising from the process is, that by disar- ranging his ears we draw his attention to them, and he is not apt to resist the shoeing. By tying up one foot we operate on the same principle to a much better effect. When you first fasten up a horse*s foot he will sometimes get very mad, and strike with his knee, and try every possible way to get it down; but he cannot do that and he will soon give up. This will conquer him better than anything you can do, and without any possible danger of hurt- ing himself or you either, for you can tie up his foot and sit down and look at him until he gives up. When you find he is conquered, go to liim, let down his foot, rub his leg with your han,d, caress him, and let him rest a few minutes y then put it up again. Repeat this a few times, always putting up the same foot, and he will soon learn. TMIWrilliHi'.; jJKW-'T**^.
