SHOULD 4 HORSE
BE CLIPPED :?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY 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 well fed, comfortably
stabbed. carefully groomcd and clipped
in the early spring. II he receives
these attentions he will work well
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-
lions 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 a horses we'll being as shoeing
him or giving him comfortable bed
o 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
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
that should go to nourish him will be
Used to replenish the heat that is be-
Ing constantly taken from his body
by the mass of cold wet hair. If
clipped, the Precipitation will evapor-
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 250
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept of results, and it was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 153
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while of the $50 clipped not
one case of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very, good health if he did hard man
ual work clothed with heavy under
wear, a heavy suit and fur overcoat,
and after perspiring freely, as he
naturally would, go to sleep without
removing same. 1t is just as ridicu-
lous to expect a horse to be in perfect
health if worked under the same con-
ditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse.

lightning struck the boxes of ammuni-

from under a nearby wagon. and was
making haste to get away, when Lieut..

monday sun on clear day-no more
expression could you get out of the
entire Encyclopedia Americana than
he bore on his face-and with pierre

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling a gross of bottles
Then came the question of selling
it. for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired q job
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the FAM
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventfu1 expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hun dredS of thousands made since, are
| available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in tho
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
| daughter in law, the present Mrs
Pinkham. She was care fully instructed
| in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell tho
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
| it up. With woman assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinl1ham continues this great work, and
probably from the office of no. other
person have SO many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-

More About aunt Lizzie.

pathetic incident illustrating the
noble work done by Mrs. Aiken, is told
by Mrs. Anderson as follows: LAS
Aunt Lizzie stood at the farther end
of the ward, experimenting the be-
stowment of wounded men brought
from Vicksburg. she saw two men
bring in a youth of 10, entirely delir
ious. On seeing her he cried out at
the top of his voice: Mother, mother,
my dear, dear mother; come to me-
AS Aunt Lizzie passed down the ward
to meet him, one of his comrades, with
his arms in a sling. whispered to her:
Call him Tommy, call him Tommy;
that's his name Persuaded in his de-
lirious fancy that it was really his
mother, the sick youth clasped his
arms round Aunt Lizzies neck and
cried out:
Boys, boys, didn't l tell you
would see my mother before 1 died?'
AUNT Lizzie sought to quiet him.
BE composed, my son. she said. I
have many comforts here-I will take
care of YOU
LAS she helped lay him on his cot
his first words were: Mother. now
won't you kneel down and pray softly,
as you did when l went away?' Drop
ping on her knees beside his cot, as
his own widowed mother might have
done, this childless mother laid him
tenderly on the bosom of his God
During the night he grew weaker and
weaker, and as Aunt Lizzie came to
sit by him he said: Sing me Sister
Hattie's tune. Which one, my SOM
asked Aunt Lizzie 1t proved to be
one with which she was familiar, and
t0pether thew sang.
:. Come unto nee. when shadows darkly
gather.
treSSed:
Seeking the comfort of thy Heavenly Fa-
ther.
Come unto me and I will give thee
rest
HE carried his part in a sweet
clear, rich tone, that sounded like a
voice from another world as it rang
through the room in the silent mid
night The whole ward lifted up their
heads and listened. All night long
Aunt Lizzie sat by him. After a time
he became blind, and at intervals
cried out: Mother. are you here?
Don't let me die alone when she
would lay her hand on him and assure
him she was still beside him. AS the
morning sunlight came streaming
through the windows he peacefully fell
asleep in death, without a sigh, still
under the delusion that his mother
was near him."

All, what was in the battle

Now what was in the battle
That brothers eye to eye
Flashed fiercer. dea dIier lightings
Than swept the darkened sky?
And who stood on a mountain
And saw the battles light.
And read the lannon's thunder
And solved the bloody fight?
And was one banner guilty,
And one God minister,
Was one of hell the emblem,
One heavens interpreter?
Did justice win the laurel.
Did right fall in the scale
What meant it to be victor.
What did it mean to fall?
Over the million sleeDers

over the darkened hearth stones
Of north and south. as well.
W no stands upon mountain
And looks with certain eye.
And reads the sleeperS' riddle;

And ever the ba ttIe's shadow
That piled against the sky.
