Clipping Horses.

The practice of shearing horses is quite
popular in some of the European cities,
and is not entirely without followers in
this country, and even in Chicago. 1t is
done in the fall and winter in order to
produce the same appearance in winter
as The short, natural summer coat gives
to the carriage and driving horse in the
warm season; and is claimed 10 exercise
a favorable influence on the health Of the
animal, giving tone to the system, and
bracing up the constitution generally.
We are not sure that the operation in
connection with the treatment which
such horses generally receive can be de
Tended on the score of either beauty or
utility. Itis violent, unnatural opera
ton, To rob a horse in November of the
protection which nature provided for him
IN the hair of his body against the riCor
ot winter in this latitude. That il may
be done without serious dotriment is
conceded but that one driving horse in
ten is 80 carefully handled as % avoid
serious danger To his health by exposure
under such circumstances, is doubted,
and, in . large majority of cases, it be-
comes simply barharous outrage upon
the health and life OF our most valuable

speeches. servant. Spans of stylish
carriage horses may be seen frequl ntly
before our fashionable dry goods stores,
waiting for their mistresses to finish shop
ping, shivering in the breeze-the mer-
curry down about Zero-the driver too ig-
norant or too lazy even to throw blan-
ket over their closely shorn forms. That
pneumonia or some other fearful acute
disease does and must follow every such
brutal exposure, is reasonable certainty.
So much for the utility. In regard to
beauty. Few persons who really love a
fine horse, and truly admire his qualities,
fail to find pleasure in the soft, silky coat
OF high bred, well-groomed horse in
winter. 1t is feature which every horse
man expects and values.
We have taken some pains to ascertain
who are the advocates of this practice,
and find they may be classed about as
follows: First, few gentlemenl who
know very little of the danger which at
tends it, and who are really pleased with
the change it makes in the appearance ..of
the animal. Second, few selfdubbed
veterinary surgeons, who, having been
hangers on in foreign. stables, have come
to this "blarsted country" full-fedged
"horse DOCTORS" anxious for practice
But third and chiefly, lot of lazy, pre-
suning, ignorant grooms, who are not
willing to rub dry the natural winter coat
OF horse after he comes in from exercise.
1t takes fifteen minutes longer, and good
deal more honest work, to groom the lat
ter well, than it does to dry out the form
er. No consideration of comfort or health
to the dumb brute, or of the interest of the
owner, enters into their calculations The
long hair once wet with perspiration,
must be thoroughly rubbed, or it will tell
the tale of neglect until it is, but a few
passes of the cloth suffice to cover up al
such evidence on the other. The cloth
ing is thrown on almost Immediately on
the arrival of the latter at the stable and
the work is done.
1t is sincerely hoped that this practice
will not become "tashionabe;" but
should it be otherwise, we may look for a
frightiul increase of lung diseases among
horses subjected to it-a harvest of en-
ployment for the doctors, and harvest of
death to their unprotesting Victims
