favorable attitude is being taken here
toward the dazzling scheme for tun-
mel under Boring strait and an all
rail route from the United States to
Europe. Baron Loicq de Lobel, repre-
senting the American Transalaskan
Siberian Company, is again pressing
the project vigorously and has made
considerable progress toward secur-
ing a desired concession from Russia.
A distinct party of the government,
which has the sympathy of Premier
Witte, earnestly favors closer com
mercial relations with the United
States and Russia and this project ap-
peals to it, not only as method for
accomplishing this end, but for de-
veloping the resources of Siberia.
The company, which believes the
Siberian side is as rich in gold as the
Alaskan side, offers to construct the
tunnel and build a road 5000 miles in
length from East Cape to Kansk in
the government of Yeniseisk, where
it will join the Siberian railway on
condition that alternate sections of
eight miles on either side of the line,
together with the mining concessions

SHOULD A HORSE
BE CLIPPED !?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
Al: 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-
tons that are in themselves artificial,
must be kept in condition for such
work.
The clipping OF a horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the
leading veterinarians to be as essen
tial to horses we'll 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 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
70 no hot ic- he
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 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 $50
were not clipped. A careful record
was kept of results, and it was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 1913
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while of the 250 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 first

bought at almost any hardware store
