SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED +?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
AL Thinking Men Readily Recognize
Its Advantages.

"a horse is 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 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
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 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 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 $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

BLOOD FLOWS FREELY
AMERICAN TROOPS IN PHILIP
PINES ATTACK MoRos.
HEAVY LOSS TO BOTH SIDES.
The Americans Were Under Com
mand of Major General Wood :
Six Hundred Moros Were Killed :
Mount Daio Was Captured.

Manila, March r. Major General
Wood reports from Jolo as follows:
"A severe action has taken place be-
tween troops, contingent of the ma
val department, the constabulary and
a body of hostile Moros at Mount Da-
10, near Jolo, opening on the after
noon of March and ending on the
morning of March s.
THE action involved the capture of
Mount Dajo, a lava copied cone 2,1O0
feet high from the crater to the sum-
nit, extremely steep, the last 400 feet
being at an angle of GO degrees. Ira
yersing its slopes are fifty perpendicu-
lar ridges covered with a growth of
timber, strongly fortified and held by
an invisible army.

tenant Gordon, wounded in the right
hand, slight.
Lieutenant Conway Of the Sixth in

THE wounded are all doing well.
1.-THE action resulted in the destruc-
ton of band of outlaws, recognizing
no chief, that had been raiding friend

and through defiance had stirred up a
dangerous condition of affairs.

IS TO Be ONE STATE
SENATE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED
AMENDED HOUSE BILL.
INDIANS GRANTED CITIZENSHIP.
State Of Oklahoma to be Composed
Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Prohibition Effective 81 Years in
Indian Territory Part.

Washington, March 12.-The result
of the action of the senate in dealing
with the statehood bill showed the ac-
curacy of the forecast made in these
dispatches, for not only was the re-
ferendum. leaving the question of
statehood to the voters of Arizona
and New Mexico, carried by vote
of AZ to 30, in which the Republicans
had large representation, but on
motion of Senator Burrows every
thing in the bill relating to Arizona
and New Mexico was stricken out.
The bill now goes to the house for
concurrence or rejection. with only
the provision giving statehood to Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory retain
ed. Thus has the senate given its an
swer to the president and Speaker
Cannon.
ments made to the statehood bill in
the senate, as regards Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, is the striking out
of the provision fixing upon Guthrie as
the capital of the new state for term
limited to 1915. This was done on
motion of Senator Teller, and as it
now stands. the provision reads:
1.-The capital of said state shall tenn
porarily be at the city of Guthrie, in
the present state of Oklahoma"
Chickasha is added as place
where one term of court shall be held
beginning the first Monday in Novem-
Der; Vinita is stricken out and Tulsa
gets a term of court beginning the
first Monday in April.
The Usage Indian reservation is
constituted separate county, but
shall remain until the lands are allot-
ted.
There is very grave question wheth-
err the house will recede and accept
the senate bill. 1t is certain that the
speaker is not in humor to do so
without struggle. On the best of
authority it can be asserted that he
now has it in mind to call a caucus
of the Republicans of the house and
ask that caucus to instruct the house

speaker has not relished the attitude
in which he has been placed of insist
ing upon the house statehood bill as
a personal matter He contends that
he has only followed the promptings
of majority of the Republican men,
bers and he will ask for caucus with
a view to still further. the carrying
out of their will. The insurgents con-
tend that they were not given a
square deal in the previous caucus,
and were cut off from discussing
their position, while all kinds of prom
ises were made to muster a majority
against them.
There are various views as to what
the outcome of the statehood fight
will be after the conference. In some
ways the position of the house has
strengthened, and in others it has
weakened. The elimination of the
Foraker amendment. which, of course,
went by the board with the cutting
out of Arizona and New Mexico and
all other collateral propositions.
leaves nothing for the senate to trade
with. The senate comes to the house
with the absolute proposal that it re-
cede from it's position and accept an
open and shut senate proposal.
