I hear a few say "I do"; a lot say "I don't," and the rest ask "Just what do you mean by train- ! ed?" By "trained," I mean just what ' a lot of people mean when they say "well broke." In other words, a well- \ trained colt is one that will go steady, stop and back at command without the aid of whip or lines. He will not shy or balk, or attempt to run away , if you want to catch him in the pas- i ture, all you have to do is to get close ' enough to speak naturally and say ; "come here," and he will follow you to the barn. That seems quite a lot for a colt to learn in eight hours, but I know what I am talking about when I say it can ' \ be done, because I've done it. But , here's the point I wish to make em- j 1 phatic: A colt can not be trained in , one day, or two or three days ; but I give him on an average of an hour a '; day for eight days, and the rest of | the time to himself, and you can work wonders with him. But right there is where the aver- age farmer or his helper falls down in colt training. They give him too long lessons. They don't seem to realize that his brain is receiving impressions for the first time, and like any unused muscle of the body, it tires very quick- ly. When once the brain and the nerves which convey the impression to it become weary, they refuse to work properly and the colt ceases t> learn. He begins to get slow, and ifj the lesson is prolonged, it does more ' harm than good. Teach him one thing at a time, and as soon as you are sure he has caught the point of the lesson, put him away for the day and let it "soak in." It is not uncommon to hear a farm- er say: "I thought that young colt of mine was going to be a bad one, but went why. ere's time in the package Time to do the many things ordinarily put off on wash-day.
