Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted aid most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. It is done on the theory that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as un-
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the bali bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work Of
taking off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the cows al
over two or three times year. The tanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get int
the milk

Devere was a fort merely by cour-

bare of timber but green with June
grass to the northward, while in ev-

terminable sand-desert, ever shifting
beneath wind blasts, presenting as
desolate scene as eye could witness.
The yellow flood of the river, still
swollen by melting mountain snow,
was hundred feet from the stockade
gate, and on it's bank stood the log
