Why He Had to Have an osfoa.

An inherited fortune and the dis
posal of an organized business enabled

had the inclination for leisure, but
could not surrender the idea OF having

The skeleton of mammoth discov-
cred in the department of Pas de Ca
lais, France. measures 49h feet In
length. The head is well preserved,
with finely enameled molars OF the
true Siberian type. thus furnishing one
more proof that the whole country was
once land OF ice and snow. At din

CLOVER BALLS
FATAL TO HORSES
SUSSEX VETS SAY

GEORGETOWN, Del. Aug. 15.-
Glover hay, especially after having
been cured, is not fit to feed to horses
and yearly takes a large toll in horse
deaths from Glover balls" caused
by feeding the hay. according to the
warning issued to Sussex county
farmers by veterinarians.
For several years scarlet clover
has been considered one of the best
crops by the farmers and has been
considered especially valuable as a
forage crop. coming in June just at
the time when the cattle need some
green hay and before any other kind
is fit 10 cut. Many farmers feed the
hay green from the cutting, but It
has generally been considered dan
gorous for horses that have beeA fed
on dry hay all the winter. The hay
is generally carefully cured and then
fed slowly and mixed with other food
until the horse gets used to the new
diet.
The hay, It was held. was especially
good for rundown horses. Every
year the dried clover heads have
caused trouble by gathering in balls
in the stomachs of horses, but the
trouble has been generally laid TO
heavy feeding at the start Of using
the hay. Now prominent veterinar-
ians say that the hay is not fit to use
and should never be fed 10 cattle.
Several valuable horses in the coun-
ty have been troubled this year and
one owaed by James Long, near Mil
ford. died and was found to have had
eight of the "clover balls" in its stom-
ach when an autopsy was performed
after death.
