Ono of the recent extensions of the dso of electricity is in conquering a balky or lazy horse, A western Penn sylvuuia gentleman owned a horse which he said was worth $1,000, pro vided he could cure him of balking. It was suggested that he try electricity. Ho purchased a three volt storage bat tery and connected it by wires with the bit and the crupper. The battery was placed in the road cart to which the horse was attached. At first the horse refused to move, but stood with all four feet braced. Then the owner touched the button connected with the battery. When the horse felt the shock, he snort ed, jumped und began to mol o off at a lively jiace. Every day for a week he was given the same lesson, liis owner, who does not care to still him, declares that now he never balks, bites or kicks The West Pennsylvania Humane so ciety, which investigated the method, came to the conclusion that a small amount of electricity used upon a horse was more humane than a whip.—Ex change.
