SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED /?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BIZ LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
Its Advantages.

"a horse is a valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be we'll fed, comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomed and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work we'll
and improve in value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
wild state he required none of these
attentions, for he was able to look
out for himself. The domesticated
animal being worked under condi-
tons 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 the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to horses we'll being as shoeing
him or giving him comfortable bed
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow to realize it's
advantages. A clipped horse dries
out rapidly after a 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
especially is this so in the early
spring, when his hair is long and he
is soft" If worked hard he will per-
spire freely and the moisture will be
held by his long hair, and the food

ate almost as soon as secreted, and
when put in the stable he rests COM
fortably and his food does him good.
Some years ago 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 ESQ
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept Of results, and it was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 1853
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while of the $50 clipped not

PROPERLY a Universal HOLIDAY.

st. Patrick's day is a universal
holiday. The world honors Ireland's
patron saint for the splendid qualities
his people have drawn from his teach
ings.
Irishmen rejoice that they have
kept the splendid traditions of their
race through seven hundred years of
oppression.
But holding 10 these principles has
sxiled them. They are liberty-lov-
iIg people and the love of liberty
has sent them far from Erin.
But other nations have reaped the
benefit of their exile. The Irish have
contributed to the civilization, the
courage and progress of the world.
There were with Washington one
hundred and twenty-five years ago
Montgomery died for America under
Quebec, and Sullivan and Morgan did
their full duty with American land
forces, while Barry and other Irish
men flew the flag Of the American
revolutionists from his ship.
They were with Dewey at Manila
They are an important and useful
force in American citizenship.
That's why all Americans are in
clined to join with their fellow citi-
zens of Irish birth or parentage and
celebrate St. Patrick's day.

Record of Financial institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Canada, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one of
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions of Cam
ada. and the business Of the charter
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks OF the Dominion by the com
mercial and agricultural expansion OF
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
noted in the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as to the COM
position of the Canadian banking sys-
TEN, it is claimed that Its flexible
currency has many co1nmendable
features, and without which the last
few months of the year must have pro-
duced money stringency with prob
ably disastrous results. 1t is felt that
q wider field OF credit in the Dominion
Is needed, and consequently the capt.
tai OF many existing banking institu-
tons has been increased and several
new banks are in progress of organiza-
ton.
The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence of the gen.
eral public to a greater extent than
ever before. The total deposits of the
people in these institutions last year
were s522,317,000. which shows an in
crease of over s56000,0 600 for the year.
In actual money in bank probably no
other country in the world. compare
lively speaking, can make better
showing than Canada.
The total deposits of the Canadian
people in the Government savings
banks, in special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of s609,454 900 This represents
an average credit balance Of over
500 per head of the population of the
Dominion, and it is stated that the
only other country in the world that
approaches this record is Denmark,
where the average credit balance Is
about $500 per capita. he above
figures, however, do not comprehend
moneys deposited with private bank
ers, loan companies, mortgage cor.
porations and trust companies, or
what is boarded up in secret hiding
places.
The annual report OF the Dominion
finance department, which has just
been issued to The public. shows a
surplus in the Dominion treasury for
the fiscal year of s7.S63 900. and refers
to the remarkable increase in the pub
lie revenues during the year.

lngS on Humanity.
St Patrick did a great and noble
work in IrelaEd-great for the church,
for humanity and for his own immor-
tai reputation
He founded three hundred and
siXty-fve churches, ordained three
hundred and sixty-fve bishops and
three thousand priests.
We are told that he baptized seven
Irish kings at once. Whoever has
read very much about the old Irish
ize that it took a very forceful man
to get seven of them together and
keep them alive long enough to bap-
tie them.
st. Patrick chose for his labors a
race worthy of his enthusiasm and
affection. No race ever received the
gospel with greater Joy and willing
Tess than the Irish people. Innumer-
able religious houses We're founded

them the famous monastery founded
by the Irish monk, st. Columbia, on
the little island of Iona, which was
destined to become a world renowned
center of Christian learning and zeal
From this little island, for two cen
turtles, Christianity was spread per-
sistently among the heather people in
all directions.

etc, jumping into the sea and swim
ming away.
The scheme for the house decoration
should be in bright emerald green,
and it is very effective and combines
with white nicely. The Irish flag
should be prominent feature, and
pots of shamrocks on each table
would be very suitable.
The tally cards may be procured in
the shape of shamrock leaf or they
could be decorated with water color
sketches of Irish poetry, or could be
miniature Irish flags. The prizes
should be wrapped in green paper and
tied with green ribbon.
Appropriate prizes would be Irish
landscapes, framed in green jewelry
IN emerald settings or in frog or snake
designs; st. Patricks candy boxes, or
tiny ferneries with green growing
plants.
The refreshment table may be
dressed in variety of ways. Either
with white cloth and green decora-
lions, or with green doiles laid right
On the oak or mahogany. A gigantic
pot of shamrocks in the center, and
With low vases containing the green
blossoms of mignonette or maiden
hair or asparagus ferns combined with
white roses.
The following menu carries out the
green effect most admirably:
Fish Croquettes Served on Mounds of
Fresh Peas in Pattie Moulds
Potato and Celery Salad Served on Let
tuce Leaf with Green Mayonnase.
Olive Sandwiches Gied with green rib
Small Cucumber Pickles
Plstachio Ice Cream Garnishcd with
Small Shamrocks Cut out of Citron
Green Punch Cakes in Green Paper
Cases.
Cafe Noir. with Whipped Cream. Tinted
Light Green.
Green Bonbons.
There are playing cards with backs
decorated with frogs or shamrocks;
either would be appropriate.
A novel way to determine the first
partners is to have two tally cards
made in one piece. Cut this in the
center, thus cutting the design,
whether landscape or figure drawing,
just in half 1t is most interesting to
see what funny combinations happen
when the wrong halves are put to-
gether.

Shamrock in Other Lands.

The little white clover that grows
so abundantly in Ireland is worn on
st. Patrick's day because the saint
used the trefoil leaf to illustrate the
idea of the trinity. The name sham
rock is derived from the Arabic name
for the trefoil, which is "shamrakh,"
and the plant is held sacred in Iran
as an emblem Of the Persian Triads.
