CLIP THE HORSE
IN THE SPRING
Horse More Comfortable, Less
Liable to Catch Cold With
Heavy Coat Removed

The clipping of horses In the spring of
the year is a practice that has come into
vogue the past few years. 1t is not yet
generally observed by horse owners, ex-
cept perhaps those of the city or those
who have driving animals that are quite
valuable.
On the farm, horse clipping has not
many of our best farmers are now prac-
ticing and advocating it. There are good
business reasons, nevertheless. for its
common introduction on the farm as
well as elsewhere, and as farmers become
aware of the advantages to be gained
by clippings they will more generally
take ii up.
But of course there are many who OBJ
ject to the clipping because they say Ii Is
not natures way of relieving the animal
of his old coat of hair. This kind of ar
gument against the practice is to be ex-
pected.
The clipping of a horse In the spring
to remove the heavy coat of hair which
has served as protection through the
winter is as much of a kindness to the
horse as it is a convenience and help in
other ways.
1t is not the most humane treatment
to make a horse work and sweat under
the covering of heavy coat of old hair
ana OlTI, WHICH Will very SOOu CduSc ldA
ness sores and very likely loss of flesh.
With the old hair on the animal sweats
badly and much more readily and does
not dry off rapidly.
The coat remains damp for long time
and the animal must go to bed feeling
anything but comfortable. Too. in such
condition IL is very susceptible to colds
and draughts. But with the old coat off
the horse will not sweat so much, will
dry off quickly. is much less liable to
catch cold, Is cleaner, looks better and
feels better.
He will do more work and also do 1t
easier. and will not get sore under the
harness, and will keep in good flesh
condition. II takes less work to care for
clipped horse and still keep the animal
we'll and properly groomed.
or course one should not clip the ami
NAL until the weather is warm enough
for them not to suffer from the cold and
one should be careful about allowing
them to stand in a cold wind very long
without being blanketed.
Usually the first or middle of May is
about the proper time to have the clip
ping done. II is then generally suf-
ficiently warmed up so that the loss of
the heavy winter coat is but welcome
relief and delight to the work horse.
II you have never tried clipping your
horses, try IL this spring and / am sure
you will follow It thereafter.

SIRE MORE THAN
HALF THE HERD
But Little Study of Results OF
Breeding to Show import
anCe of Head of Herd
BY r. B. RUSHING.

We have all heard the saying that the
sire is half the herd. This is literally
true. That is. of the qualities bequeathed
to the calves the parent furnishes hala,
and generally more. The COW influences
the character of but one calf a YEAR. the
bull passes on his personality to many
calves, to all the calves of herd of
ordinary size. When he is chosen, half
the character of all the calves is de-
termined, thus, his influence is as much
as that of the whole number OF cows
taken together in the herd.
If he is of stronger prepotency tnan
most of the cows. that is. able to trans
NIT his qualities more surely and strong
ly to the progeny, which is usually the
case with a well bred sire, then the bull
represents more than half the herd. In
this case more than half the charecteris-
tics of the calf. or the stronger and
predominating half comes from the sire.
thus he is more than half.
Now, If the sire as an individual and
in his pedigree, is superior TO the COWS.
the characteristics he transmits TO The
calf will be of more value than thos
that come from the mother, and in this
case also the bull will be more than
half the herd.
II the sire is kept with the same c3ws
for several years. each year he starts
out a generation of calves more than
half of whose qualities and strength were
transmitted by the sire This single step
is a great Improvement. But his success-
or, IL similar type and breeding, mated
to those improved heifers, carries the
Improvement forward and the power to
transmit them more surely and strongly
carrying to a higher degree and elint-s
mating defects that have come from the
mothers side.
From generation to generation the suc-
cession of we'll selected sires gcvs on
increasing and intensifying the Improve
ment of the herd. In this way the sire
becomes three-fourths. seven-eights If.
teen-sixteenths. and so on Of thef herd.
In fact. by so using the right kind Of
sire he might as well be called the entire
herd.

In suppressed excitement.
1t was at the Rathskeller, however,
that the most affecting scenes took place
The veterans were seated at a long table,
before directing their attention to the
bountiful repast they expressed the wish
to meet Mrs Pickett. When she came
into the room she was greeted with an
other and louder yell.
For a moment Mrs. Pickett was so
overcome she could not speak. Then she
said simply and with tenderness:
God bless you-God bless you air.
The eyes of many of the younger gem
Grafton were filled with tears As one
man expressed it:
II just couldn't stand it, got out"
That was the way more than one strong
man felt.
Mrs. Pickett shook hands with every
veteran and had some cheering word for
each.
After the dinner Superintendent Force
thanked Mr.. Weston and Mr.. Wooley in
we'll rounded speech. invited them to
the home and the veterans gave a rouse
for the Rathskeller.

the accomplishments of ranch animals.
The most dlverting OF his four-footed
performers is a troupe of small pigs that
have been taught to "shoot the chutes."
Specially made for their use is 'chute"

smooth incline down the other. Up
this cleated ascent scramble the pigs,
posing an instant at the summit then
they scoot dizzily down. After each trip
