The home journal. (Winchester, Tenn.) 1858-188?, 1877-03-08

The Springfield Republican has the
following on this subject: The practice
OF horse clipping il more prevalent this
winter than ever before, and bids fair TO
continue growing in popularity. Some
stable-kecpcrs have all their horses clip
ped, while others Iclip only the long
haired animals, claiming that a fine.
haired horse is better without. People
hiring horses almost always prefer a clip
ped horse, and the stable boys certainly
do, as it il only about onc-fourth ~ much
work to groom one. If n horse has once
been clipped, the owner must keep it up
every wear or he will have a sorry-look-
ipg brute, with thick hair like a goat,
four or even six inches long. 1t is the
impression that a clipped horse must be
kent closely blanketed or he will freeze
to death, but one livery man tells of an
animal which was clipped for him by
mistake and which could not be kept
covered on account OF n vicious trick of
tearing the blanket in shreds. After the
m~ischieyious brute had eaten three
blankets, the owner gave him up. but,
to h,s surprise, the horse grew fat and
aoon was able to do his usual work on a
third less feed than before. In fact, it is
generally admitted that, when proper
care is taken, A horse that is driven every
day can be kent in cold weather for
nearly one fourth less, if clipped. The
rco.on ia that n clipped horse dries of in
a few minutes when warm. while the
LONG wet hair of an unclipped horse will
r~couire the manufacture OF animal heat
for several hours. and to make this heat
rcouircs more food, But while the prac-

Smiths GhOstly Order.

The New Orleans Republican tells this
wicked story: A suear-maker, who
might as well be called Oncssmus Smith
as anything else, died recently in one Of
our country parishes. He was not long
i'll, and the day before he died he had
ordered a bill of goods through his CON.
mission merchant in New Orleans. The
news of the mans death flew on the
wings Of the wire, but the rcquisition
for supplies came along in a slow steam
boat way, and arrived two or three days
aiterward. a portion of the order was
sent to a wholesale drug house for an
article used largely in sugar-making. 1t
was a w~ell.managed drug-house and its
order clerk below was in the habit of
communicating through n sp~eaking.tube
with the book.keeper above before filling
an order, the object of this shooting whis-
pcrs back and forth through the tin com
municator being to ascertain if the per
son ordering goods is entitled to credit.
In the case we refer to the order clerk
shouted up, " How's accounts of Oness.
mus SMITH And the information was
slid down, accounts o. X, but we've
that Smiths dead That's all
right said the man below, hes sent for
ten barrels of sulphur"
