Take of cantharides 2 oz., strong mercurial ointment 4 oz., oil of

348. TO MAKE A HORSE FOLLOW YOU

The horse is treated in the same manner as mentioned in the receipt
No. 305, always being careful to whip him on the hips. When he will
follow you round the barn floor, then treat him in the same manner
in a yard, and when he follows you here, he will any place.


349. COLTS CHEWING HALTERS

Take scab from the wart on the inside of the leg, rub the halter
thoroughly with it, and they will not be found chewing their halters
very soon.
