Farm Accounts,

practice of farmers that very few keep
any accounts. ! might say that when
accounts are kept they generally COM

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED T?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
lts 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. 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-
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 the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to a horses well 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 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 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. II
clipped. the perspiration 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 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 25o
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept of results, and 1t was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 1913
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 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-
ditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse,
treat him right, and be sure and
clip him in the early spring A first
class horse-clipping machine can be
bought at almost any hardware store

other nest. For the small raiser of

Design for Pincushion.

A very dainty little pincushion can be made by cutting two heart-shaped pieces of linen, enough larger than your cushion to leave border an inch and half wide on every side. Line these pieces with pink lawn, and in the center of the upper one embroider small design in eyelet and solid work. Make row of eyelets on both pieces of linen in the shape of a heart. When the embroidery is finished place the cushion between the two linen cov- CTS and lace them together with pale pink ribbon, running it through the eyelets and finishing the whole by bows of ribbon at top and bottom.

 to lie with the cheerful inconsistency

 In Funk the limp and the leaning shoulder were an attainment that had come of no sudden wrench. Such is the] power of example, he admired, tbee| initiated and at last acquired them.
 One cannot help thinking what graces of character and person like per sistency would have brought to him.
 But Funk had equipped himself with horsy heroism, adorning 1t to his own fancy. He had never been kicked, he had never driven race or been hurled from sulky at full speed.

 After tea Sidney Trove, against their protest, began to help with the dishes. Miss Samantha prudently managed to keep the stove between him and her. A fire and candles were burning in the parlor. He asked permission, however, to stay where he could talk with them. Funk Hosely, the man of all work, came in for his supper. He was an odd character.
