Why Horses Should Be Clipped

1t is a positive shame to use a
horse hard when he has on his long,
heavy coat. Kept under artificial
conditions, he has not 4 chance In
the world to comply with the de-
mands of nature, as the wild horses
that he sweats freely and then
stands all night wet to the very
skin, using up to dry his HAIR all
the heat that should be going TO re-
cuperate his tired body. In this
way he loses strength steadily,
whereas, if the clippers should be
run over HIM, he would dry off in
twenty minutes aud then stand
warm and comfortable all night.
Just think how it would feel to lie
down on your bed with clothes
wringing wet with gummy sweat.
1t is not likely that you would be
very comfortable. Every up-to-date
stable is equipped with an electric
clipping machine.
Condo Mosely has just received
the very latest and most up-to-date
Electric Horse Clipper and Groomer.
IL you want to see horse nearly
shaved, /. e., clipped, he invites you
around To his stable, where he will
gladly show the new clipper in OPP
GRAFTON. If you have a horse TO
clip, all over, or just up to his knees
and the foretop, just turn him over
TO Condo, who will see that you are
pleased. 30

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov. 3.-Fine Roadway
was made during the week just closed
with the picking of the cotton crop in
Mississippi. The dry weather has
caused the staple to open with as
tonishing rapidity, and all available
labor forces have been constantly EN-
ployed getting the crop in mark etabie
shape.
There is no longer any doubt that
Mississippi's yield will be shorter
than last year. Less than a half
dozen counties report top-crep, and
this causes the heaviest reluctance in
the prospective yield.
The delta crop will average from
fifteen to thirty per cent below that
of asst year, although the bottom and
n iddle crop is about up to the aver
age.
The interior movement to the mar
ket towns continues quite lively, and
there is very little tendency on the
part of the farmers to hold back the
staple.
