To harness Victoria Ealls.

Consul General Washington of Cape
Town thinks that South Africa is or
the eve of introducing vast changes in
its industrial life, He looks for the
transmission of electrical power thai
is to be generated by the mighty rivers
of the interior. The question of the
development and transmission of elec
trical power from the Victoria Falls
the consul general says, is to be con
sidered by committee of experts
Two engineering specialists to the
Victoria company are inspecting water
power installations in European coun
tries with a view to their application
to Rhodesia. Americas supremacy in
the electrical field should secure the
orders for machinery and supplies
that will be needed to develop this
vast water power.
An electrical engineer from New
York has been visiting Europe in con.
nection with the project of supplying
electrical power to the Rand from the
Victoria Falls. He and the highest
European authorities whom the char.
tered company consulted in the matter
We're unanimous that the scheme was
not only possible. but was payable.
The experts regarded the climate OF
South Africa as the most suitable in
the world for the transmission of
power, because, apart from its dry
ness, there is no ice or snow to inter
fere with the working of the plant
The distance over which transmission
would have to be made presents, they
declare, absolutely no difficulty.

SHOULD A HORSE
''''-' Be CLIPPED f?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
Al: Thinking Men Readily Recognize
lts Advantages.

"a horse is valuable asset. ana

wild state he required none OF these
attentions. for he was able to look
out for himself. The domesticaten
animal, being worked under conai-
tions that are In themselves ARTIFICIAL
must be kept in condition for such
work.
The clipping OF horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all tee
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to a horses well being as shoeinS

to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize Its
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after hard days work.
and Will rest.comfortably and be re-
freshed for the work the following
day. An unclipped horse is liable to
catch the heaves, pneumonia and all
sorts of colds. rheumatism, etc. More

spring, when his hair is long and he
is soft" II worked hard he will per
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food

Some years ago a Buffalo street car
company tested the value of clipping
in the following manner: They own
ed 500 horses, and $50 of these were
clipped early in the spring and 25C
were rot clipped. A careful record
| was kept of results. and it was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 15a
were afflicted with coughs and pneu
monia, while OF the $50 clipped no,
one case of sickness was reported.

very good health II he did hard man
ual work clothed. with heavy under
wear, heavy suit and a fur overcoat
and after perspiring freely. as he
naturally would. go to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu
lous to expect horse to be in perfect
health if worked under the same con
