SHOULD A 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 groomed and clipped
in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well
and improve in value. A horse lives
under artificial conditions. In his
wild state he required more 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 well being as shoeing
him or giving him a comfortable bed
to lie on. Farmers in England and
France have been clipping their
horses for many years, and American
farmers are not slow 20 realize its
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
that should 60 to nOursh him will be
used to replenish the heat that is be-
ing constantly taken from his body
by the mass Of cold wet hair. II

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

were not clipped. A careful record
was kept of results, and it was found
that of the $50 uncipped horses 1873
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, 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.
II you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse

clip him in the early spring A first
class housekeeping machine can be

4 CLEVER WOMAN.

I One bright woman thrown practically
on her own resources on account OF
the invalidiSm of her husband sent to
q city firm for samples of dress goods
TO be sold on commission. She found
reliable house which sent TO her
small samples of SeaSOnable goods
neatly pasted on white cardboard. She
solicited orders among her own friends,
not being too proud to let them know
that she was trying to earn a living.
AS this work Gid not require regular
hours she was enabled to carry it on
in addition to caring for her home and
husband. 1t was in quite small town
that she started, and she was obliged
to pay for her goods in advance and
pay her own express bills. To-day she
is giving her whole time, going about
from city to city in several States, ap-
pointing agents to do this same work
and looking after them. She has also
added some other small articles as
"Side lines" and often very materially
helps churches and charitable organiza.
lions by sending them new articles to
sell at their fairs on commission. How
have l done this? BY being honest
and sticking to it. that is the only
secret of success in any work." says
this successful woman.-New England

vet bodice.
The guimpe effect is not given so
much now. as short sleeves are un-
doubtedly prettier in the material Of
the gown itself. so that deep white
yoke rather cuts the figure when the
line is not carried down over the Shout
dCrs on the sleeves.
\ pretty waist model is that with
the small round yoke of unlincd lace,
the sleeve being finished at the elbow
with Il little lace puff. This yoke
should have foundation of chiffon or
mOuSSeline de sole to give it body and
render it softer in effect. but there
must be no silk or satin lining.
There are no rules to 90 by for the
kind of lace to be used with different
materials. NalencienneS trims velvet
and cloth. Irish point is worn OH chif-
fOn and in combination with the finest
nets and laces. Nalencienncs and Irish
points are still favOriteS. some exceed
ingly pretty little yokeS being of the
fine lace finished Off with an cdginC
of Irish lace. NOkeS formed OF tiny
rutfles Of NalencemeS edging laid ON Il
chiffon or mOuSSeline ground have
rather gone out of favor. the fat kind
being now generally preferred. APP
pliQue work of lace and net makes an
effective yoke. but these yokes are
usually the deep square. round or V
shaped vest, in order to give room for
the work to show up advantageously.
Embroidered lace y0kes are being
worn in the elaborate reception gowns
that is, the pattern of the lace is be-
ing outlined in silver or gold thread Cr
in cOlOred embroidered silk. Ere
quently the three are employed at once.
1t is quite fad now to embroder over
old laCeS, even the most expensive. OF
course, it makes the trimming more
effective, but it always seems with
rare and beautiful lace as though we'll
enough might best be let alone.
With any sort Of dress touch Of
white at the throat is necessary, SO
that in practically every model there is
narrow or large white yoke--and
even in gowns of deep mourning some
of the French models show a tiny yoke
of white crepe. This last makes most
becoming gown, no matter how severe
the model. Black crepe Jokes are al
ways relieved by little collar of white
linen or Of crepe, the latter being in
finitely prettier. On many of the all
black dresses trimmed with black lace.

lively.

as a little tuck can be taken where it
will not be noticed. so that a handsome

A Timely Warning.

At a certain high school in this city
it is the custom to discuss briefly the
mornings news before taking up the
regular work of the day. In this con-
nection an instructor in the school in

One day the teacher assembled to her
desk, paper in hand. She spread the

j. q. Davis Believes New Camp Will BE
One of Very Best in Nevada, Basing
His Opinion IN Mineral
Showing

J.. r. Davis of Sandstone and Great
Bend fame, returned last week from the
new camp of Fairview in Churchill
county. He is very favorably impressed
with the vein showing there and be-
Iieves that the Fairview district will be-
come one of the greatest and most in
iuential mining ~centers in the state of
Nevada. In speaking of that section to
a representative for The News Mr..
Davis said:
ssThe showing at Fairview would in
dictate the permanency of the camp, as
a very large and well deined outcrop
can be followed for long distances. The
lodges are from 6 to so feet wide
and hold gold and silver values in about
equal The known area of the
district is about 21k miles in width by
3h miles in length, and the formation
is andesite. The ore is similar in its
characteristics to that mined at Tono-
pah. My recent visit to Fairview con-
vinced me tina it is a permanent camp
and believe it will become one OF the
most important in the state
Continuing, Mr.. Davis said that there
are now about 500 people in the district
and that the population is increasing
A bank has been established in the
town of Fairview, also a postofhce and
express Office. The auto line from
! Hazen is in requisition day and night
The district is easy of access and there
is little snow to retard prospecting
No great amount of development or
deep mining has thus far beer done,
but notwithstanding tina faet the gem
eral opinion of mining men who have
visited the section Is that when depth
is gained that veiAa and values will be-
come stronger, Fay ore is exposed al
surface 81 seven different properties

| ton in the yellow and white metals AS
/ says have been secured on picked specl-
mems as high as $4,000 per ton.
