Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in tho
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 period of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work ON
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the sauna 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 ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work Of
taking of 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 all
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 into
the milk. g5.53 s.

ant was convicted on such charge,
and appeals to the court of appeals
of Kentucky. the docket states. a
child OF the defendant having died,
he set about to bury it. Taking some
piece of rough board, he made rude
box to serve as coffin. Although he
had good lumber out Of which he
could have made better and moro
presentable box, he said that he did
not propose using his good lumber
for this purpose. This box was taken
to point In the woods lot and a
grave dug by two neighbors about
two feet deep. Defendant brought the
corpse from the house in q small pa

Ing dug, placed 1t upon the ground
and assisted in digging the grave.
When completed, the paper box with
the corpse was placed in the wooden

ground, defendant assisting by tramp
Ing the dirt as 1t was being put back

No services of any kind were heard

no rule OF law defining how a corpse

no legal right to be present. There Is
no law imposing upon those having In
charge the burial OF the dead any duty
to have the interment accompanied
with religious ceremony. The court
concludes with the following: 1T was
no doubt the extremely miserly and
niggardly disposition manifested by
appellant that aroused the Indignation

OrlaIn Of the Pearl.

For many centuries, even until COM
paratively recent times. it was the
common belief that pearls were drops
of dew that gained entrance into the
shell of an oyster and were there
transformed into lustrous gems. Arab
and Indian divers still believe that at
certain seasons oysters come to the
surface and suck In the raindrops that
later become pearls. Science, how
ever, has rudely shattered this poetic
fancy and discovered the real origin to
be worm.
We now know that almost any for
eign body---a grain Of sand. bit of
mud or shell, a piece of seaweed or a
small animal-may by its irritation
cause the mollusk to cover 1t and
make 1t the nucleus Of pearl; but
the largest part Of the animal pearl
crop Of the world is due to parasites
that normally pass part of their life
cycle within the shell Of the pearl
oyster. ss.t
Minute spherical larvae of marine
worms, known as cestodes, become
embedded in the soft tissues, as many
as 40 having been found In one Ceylon
oyster. Az the result Of irritation. the
