.Another' evidence of the "antiquity of
norae-iaming is round in Mr. tatliu s pui
lislicd account of his travels among the
North American Indians. Tho manner iu
which the Indian achieves Uie subjugation
of the wild horse is thus described:-, . i
" lie coils bis lasso on his arm, and iral-
lops fearlessly Into the herd of wild horses.
He soon gets it over the neck of one of the
number, when he instantly dismounts, leav
ing his own horse, and runs as fast as he
can, letting the lasso pass out gradually
and carefully through his hands, until the
horse fulls for want of breath, and lies help
less on the ground. The Indian advances
slowly toward the horse's head, keeping the
msso tignt upon uis neck, nuul lie fnstei'.s a
pair of bobbles on tbe auimal's two fore
foot, and also loosens , tho lasso, giving the
horse a chance to breathe, and passing a
noose round the under jaw, by which he
gets grout power over the affrighted aui-
nmi, that is rearing and plunging when it
gets breath, and by which, as he advances,
hand over hand, toward : the horse's nose,
he is able to hold it down, and prevent it
from throwing itself over on its back. By
this means he gradually advances, and he
is able to place his hand oa the ttnimul's
nose and over its eves, and,1 at length, to
breathe into its nostrils, When it soon be
comes docile and conquered; so that he has
little else to do than to remove the hobbles
from its feet, and to lead it or ride it to the
camp. The. animal is so completely con
quered, that it submits quietly ever after,
and is led or rode away wfth very little
difficulty."' -' '' ' ' "
Mr. Lll:s, of Trinity College, Cambr.dge,
concluded that the reformation here de
s ribed was effected by breathing in the an
imal s nostrils, but recent developments con
tradict this theory. The horse in the first
place was conquered by choking and pros-
trat.ng nim, in dehance of his efforts to
prevent it. His. sagacity teaches him that
he cannot successfully contend with a supe
rior antagonist. Thus, ho is coerced thro'
fear. ' Breathing in his nostril tends to
soothe the horse and render him gentle, as
iu this Xj niUiorlty . ha is. afforded an oppor
tunity of examining tns enemy; in the man
ner peculiar to the horse, by feeling with
his nose.' By this process Ins doubt and
alarm are speedily dissipated. ' nis confi

In 18 18 one James Callum traveled thro'
tho United States, professing to possess a
secret by which stubborn . and balking
horses could be cured, aud in some cases
success followed his operations. ' His meth
od consisted in tying a sack securely over
the horse's head, sd as to' prevent his 'see
ing, and also in partially obstructing bis
brewing.,, . Tuc aaimal, . uhilo thus, encum
bered, was led Of backed about nnlil lie
became fatigued and fell down. Ho was
then harnessed, and would zealously per
form any work nt hand. ;'In one instance,
however, Mr. Cullum overdid the matter,
and the horse died from suffocation :
In the southern part of Chile a system of
taming the horse is In vogue which Is en
tirely original, although embodying some of
the principles of Mr Rarey's practice.
Two men alternately watch with the horse,
and their duty is to pinch, and whip, and
worry the animal, and by this means pre
vent him from going to. sleep. In. about
two days he becomes" so worn oat and ex
hausted that he sinks to the ground.' His
persecutors then ' permit him to sleep for
two hours, when, if be still shows vice and
malice, he is again submitted to the tor
ture, which generally , accomplishes the de
sired object. , , . . . ...
. But it has been left to tho last ten years,
and to Mr. John S. Rarey, to develope a
system that is really practical and of uni
versal application. Mr. Rarer is one of
rftur iruthers, and a-citizen of Groreport,
Ohio. Although it Is -evident that he is
hot the original discoverer of the principle
upon which be operates, still we must trace
the present useful and greatly-improved
practice directly to him, and consequently
we oil only yiew with disgust the many at
tempts of innovatorrto deprive Mr. Rarey
bf bis justly-deserved and bard-earned
laurels.
Soiwe fime' Since;' Mr. Rarer printed, for
the nse of his pnpils in this conntry, a small
pamphlet descriptive of certain educational
features peculiar to his system, but only of
supplementary utility 10 tne real operation
by which the horse is . subjugated and de
prived of his ferocious properties.. This
pamphlet has since been reprinted in Eng
land, owing to the absence of an Interna
tional wpyrigH nd has been generally
disseminated as his true and complete sys

iu this pirated pamphlet to render it advisa
ble for bim to release bis pupils there from

lessons without exacting any such pledge in

ance of success, if we use the proper means.
The horse receives instruction in, and by
me use oi, lour oi ins seuses namely, see
ing, bearing, smelling, and feeling,.. You
must remember that the horse is a dumb
brute, and has not the faculty of reasoning
on experiments that you make on him, but
is governed by instinct. In a natural state
he is afraid of mau, and never, until you
teach him that you do not iitfcud to hurt
bim, will that fear cease we mean that
wild, natural fear for you must have bim
fear you as well as love yon, before yon
can absorb his attention as much as ia uc
cessary to break him to your liking. It is
a principle iu the nat iro of a horse not to
oOer resistance to our wishes, if made
known In a way that ho understands, and
in accordance with the laws of his nature.
In subjngnting the horse," we must make
a powerful appoul to his intelligence; this
can only bo dono by a physical operation.
It is an undisputed fact that the battles of
all animals (except such as are garnished
with horns) aro fought by seizing each oth
er by the throat. A dog that has been
thus held by his antagonist for a few min
utes, on being released, is often so thor
oughly cowed that no Indian artifice can
induce bim to uguin resume the unequal
contest. This is the principle upon which
horse-taming is founded. . '. . , ,
. Choking a horse is the first process Iu
taming, and is but the la-giuiiing of his ed
ucation. By its operation a horse becomes
docile, and will thereafter receive any in
struction which be cau li made to under
stand. Teaching the animal to lie down at
our bidding, tends to keep him permanently
cured, as it is a perpetual reminder of his
subdued condition. 1 ' 1 '
It requires a good deal of practtce to
tamo a horso successfully: also a uice iudir-
ment to know when he is choked sufficient
ly, as there is a bare possibility that he
might get more than would be good for
him. We advise persons not perfectly fa
miliar with a horse to resort rather to the
strapping and throwing-down process (un
less he is very' vicious) described below:
this, in ordinary cases, will prove success-
lul. Jtis the tault of most people who
have owucd a horse to imagine, that they
are experts in bis management; while, on
the contrary, many professional horsemen
are the very worst parties to attempt his
subjugation. Unless a man have a good
disposition he need not attempt horse-
taming.
In practicing the method exhibited In
the above engraving, retire with the animal
to bo operated upon iuto a - close stable,
with plenty of litter upon the floor (tan
bark or . sawdust is preferable). In the
first place, fasten up the left fore-leg with
the arm strap, in such a manner that it will
be permanently seenred. Then take a
broad strap andrbucklo, and pass it around
the neck just back of the jaw bone. . Draw
the strap as tight as possible, so tight as to
almost arrest the horse's breathing. The
strap must not be buckled, but held in this
position to prevent slipping back. The an
imal will struggle for a few minutes, when
he will become perfectly quiet, overpowered
by a sense of suffocation; tho veins in his
head will swell; his eyes lose their fire;, bis
knees totter and . become weak; a slight
vertigo will ensue, . and growing graduully
exhausted, by backing him around the sta
ble, he will come down on his knees, ' in
which position it is an easy matter to push
him on his side, when his throat should be
released., Kow pat and rub him gently
for about twenty minutes, when, in most
instances, he will be subdued, It is only
In extreme cases necessary to repent the op
eration of choking.. The next lesson is to
teach him to lie down, which la described
below in the account of the second method
of taming. . No horse can effectually resist
the terrible effects of being choked.
It must be constantly borne in mind that
the operator must not be boisterous or vio
lent, and that the greatest possible degree
of kindness Is absolutely essential. When
the horse is prostrate, be should be soothed
until bis eyes show that he has become per
fectly tranquil. : .
ANOTHER METHOD.
The plan described fa the above engrav
ing ia very simple, though not as expedi
tious as tb previous one. Buckle or draw
a itran litrbt around the neck, lift a fore
leg and fasten around it tbe opposite end of
tbe strap, tbe sooner tne oeiier. ia ue
esCTivirg, for the fake of cleanest, tbe
Strap it represented too long. It will bt
teen that in this plan the bona it made tbt
instrument by which the punishment is in-
dieted. . When he attempts to put hit foot
down bis head goes wfth It, aud be thus
chokes himself; care should be taken that
he does not pitch oa hit bead, and thus en
danger ins neck. , j : ., , 4,

Secure tho horso with a stout halter to
the manger. If extremely unruly, muzzle
him. Soothe bim with the hands for a
few minutes until be becomes somewhat
pacified. Then seize him by the throat,
close to the jaw-bone, with the right hand,
and by tbe mnno with the left. Xow forci
bly compress his windpipe nntil he becomes
so exhausted that, by lightly kicking him
on the fore logs, be will lie down, after
which he should be treated as previously
described, i This process requires courage
in the operator, and alto great muscular
strength., . , . . ,

Actios or Sugar on the Tketh.Mj
Larez, of Frauce, In tho courso of his inves
tigations on the teeth, bos arrived at tho
following conclusions: First, that refined
sugnr, from cither cane or beets, is injurious
to healthy teeth, cither by the immediate,
contact with these organs, or by the gas
developed owing' to its stoppage, in the
stomach; second, that if a tooth is iuncerat'
ed In a saturated solution of sugar, it is so-
much altered in tho chemical composition
that it becomes gclutiuous, and its enamel
opaque, spongy, and easily broken'; third,
this modification is due not to free acid, but
to a tendency of sugar to combine with the
calcareous basis of the tooth. '
