more OF less lluOlt 70 NNlnAs many per-
sons have protested against
CLIPPING AND sINGErNG,
alleging that nature never intended
the animal 70 lose its covering Ia so
precipitate manner. In reply to this,
/ would say that nature, probably,
never Intended an animal should be
subject TO so thoroughly artificial
treatment as 1t is known TO be, A
horse ia not in state of nature when
used by man, but IN an artificial one,
TO superlatIvo degree. and II is
absolutely necessary that we provide
artificial means TO enable him TO do
our work. 1t is advisable to commence
smuggling as soon as the hair Is found
longer than usual and so to continue
the application of the apparatus from
time to time. Clipping is not usually
performed until the coat assumes con-
siderable length. simply because II is
expensive to have this done often. In
this case money Is the stumbling block
and not the requirements OF the ami
NAL. Clipping machines are made so
simple and inexpensive that any man
can perform the work speedily. Horses
not required to do fast work.. or that
do not sweat In their work. can be re-
talned in their winter coats.
THE GREAT SECRET
in horse management Is to have
groom who will watch for the moultlnv
season, and, ~ he is. up to his business,
he will take care OF his charge at this
time, which. II done In time, the horse

which throw or from the lungs, he
would be in position TO form some
clear idea OF what IS taking place in
