Congress is not satisfied with the ac-

marble palaces adjacent to the capitol,
where prodigal expenditure is being
made to insure the bodily comfort Of
the lawmakers.
Each of these palaces will cost about
100000 furnished. The furniture has
not yet been selected but it will be

The buildings are Of the most ornate

agricultural laborers do not keep
goats for the sale of the rich milk

SHOULD A HORSE
Be CLIPPED :?
CLIPPING IN THE EARLY SPRING
RECOMMENDED 5Y LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
All Thinking Men Readily Recognize
It's Advantages.

"a horse Is valuable asset, and
should receive the best care possible.
He should be well fed, comfortably
stabbed carefully groomed and clipped
in the early spring. II 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 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,
anu Will ItSl Dt 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" II 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 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 1t was found
that of the $50 unclipped horses 1853
were afflicted with coughs and pneu-
monia, while of the $50 clipped not

wine producing state and was fourth

Missouri corn, Missouri apples and
Missouri grapes were admittedly ex-

however, the manufactures Of Mis-.
souri, have increased 30 per cent. In
place Of corngrowlng, but not to the
neglect of that industry. Missouri has
taken up meatpacking, to the amount
OF $60,000,000 last year. Tobacco
yielded sS0,0OO,00o and malt liquors
$25, 100000. The trade in boots and
shoes in which st. Louis is formid-
able rival of Boston, was $25 100000
and in foundry and machine shop
products, made profitable through the
recent development of Missouri's iron,

they had no glass. Then he showed
me one with glass, and then he said
he had such pretty bureau. II
