Golden EaqIe Lassoed by BOYS.

Two small boys armed with lasso
captured a golden eagle late Wednes
day afternoon after an interesting
struggle with the bird. The boys are
the sons of Edward Franks. They
were playing in the yard of their home
when the great bird swooped down
and lighted on the back fence. A
hurried search for gun was unfruit-
full, and as the bird seemed disinclined
to leave other measures were en-
ployed by the nimrods
Somebody suggested lasso, and
finally a moose of clothesliDe was cast
about the bird and he was captured
after a sharp battle.
1t is said that the eagle probably
few so high that he encountered ex.
treme cold and was unable to resist it.

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 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 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 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. If
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 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 $50
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
| 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 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 Housekeeping machine can be
bought at almost any hardware store
for less than $700.~-Horse Review,

BIRDS KILLED BY THOUSANDS.
Storms and Foss Fatal During Seasons
of Mjuration


A gannet or Solan goose, the bird
which has made the Bass Rock so
famous. has been picked up in an ex-
hausted state in a garden at Billing
borough, Lancashire. 1t is rare that
a bird so absolutely dependent on the
sea for its existence is found so far
inland.
Fogs, 1t has been shown, act as a
deterrent to migration, causing the
moving hosts to rise above the fog
level and so to pass over places they
usually visit or, overtaking them,
they temporarily bar further prog
ress.
The list of British birds owes its
continual increase to fogs and other
adverse weather conditions. During
the last year or two British ornitholo-
gists, aided by lighthouse keepers, act
ing with the consent of the Elder
Brethren of Trinity House, have done
much to clear up the mysteries of mi
grafton.
During heavy wind and rain birds
fly low when crossing the sea, barely
overlapping the waves, instead of, as
was supposed, rising above the clouds.
Where lighthouses are stationed the
birds fly to the white light in bolster
Gus weather, and the death rate in con-
sequence is appalling, tens of thou
sands striking the lantern and falling
into the sea.-London Daily Mail.

pretty, but the glass was rather small.
So then he showed me dressing case
