Spring Clipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in this
spring. 1t 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 sezeral weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work oir
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the saye reason that wa
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do nos
take cold as easily ncr are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments Is I'M
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 off the winter coat is easy. With
the machine a horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour, whereas with the old two
hand clipper it required several hours tr.
do it.
Dairymen also now clip the COWS a1l
ever two or three times year. The fianlss
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 ints
the milk.

PoIiteness Ignored.

A Virginia farmer was driving a re-
fractory COW down the road one morn
ing. The COW and the driver came to
a crossroad. The man wanted the
COW to go straight ahead, but the COW
picked out the crossroad
A negro was coming along the cross
road
Had her off! Haid her Off" yelled
the driver,
The negro jumped about the road
ara waved his arms. The COW pro-
ceeded calmly on her way.
Had her off! Haid her off, nigger!"
yelled the driver.
Use a-tryin' teri" replied the Negro
Speak to her! Speak to her and
she'll stopi"
Good mawnin', cow-good mawn-
I'M" said the negro politely.

Affects Freight Charge Claim.

II the bill recommended favorably
by the committee on transportation
OF the assembly passes both houses
OF the legislature claims tor excess
freight charges may be filed any
time within two years. The meas
ure is similar to the provisions in
the interstate commerce act and the
idea of the bill is to make the pro
ceeding in each case uniform When
the railroad commission act was
passed it contained a provision that
charges might be filed within six
months. The Legislature two years
ago extended the provision to one
year and the bill to make the pro-
vision uniform with the interstate
commerce act was introduced by AS
semblyman Holmes. The railroad
officials made no objection to the
measure at the committee hearing.

Eau Claire Wants Normal.

Why the normal school at Eau
Claire, provision for which was made
by the 1909 legislature, should be
constructed now, is explained in a
pamphlet addressed to members of
each house of the Legislature by a
citizens committee on normal school.
In compliance with the 1909 law,
the city of Eau Claire purchased and
conveyed to the state a beautiful site,
the committee sets forth, and the
1911 legislature directed the normal
board to prepare the grounds and
secure plans for the building, to be
submitted to the 1913 legislature.
This has been done. 1t is further said
that the citizens have invested over
$40, i'll these preparations.

noisy though perfectly proper. Stu
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
There was music enough for any
democratic occasion. The judicious
distribution of the bands prevented
the clashing of tunes. There were
fifty bands in line, but only one of
them, the Marine band, was allowed to
play hail to the Chief" a tune which
every band on an occasion like this
hitherto has insisted on playing almost
necessarily, to the routing of every

Spectators Cheer Constantly.
All along Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to a point four block be-
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
Office were not accompanied by ap-
parently heartfelt acclaim of the peo-
pie over whom he is to rule for at
least four years.
Every window in every building on
Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc-
cupied for office purposes was rented
weeks ago for a good round sum of
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by as
many spectators as cound find want
age point from which to peer through
the window panes. The roofs of the
buildings were covered with persons
willing to stand for hours in a March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu-
raj parade, and many of them partic-
ularly glad OF az opportunity to go
home and TO say that after many years
waiting they had seen a Democratic
president inaugurated

lamps were lighted and Washington

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy.

Have you ever stopped to think just
what Economy ir baking really mesnsf
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little on re cost of the mate
rials-the flour, eggs. etc.-is economy
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder, ard save loo to 25c-
But both are wrong. Tor the real econ
omy-the economy tIeC counts-consises in
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than is saved In
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond doubt is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
lite of millions of cooks. It absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-which in the end is the same thing
as economy.

Use of the Toothbrush.

On the subject of the toothbrush a
great deal has been written of late.
Some condemn it as septic and use
less instrument. and demand that it
shall be either boiled or soaked in
very strong antiseptics every time
after usage. Others still hold that
regularity in the use of the toothbrush
is one Of the cardinal virtues, and viii
be rewarded by an undecayed set of
teeth. Probably the truth lies some
where between the two extremes; the
toothbrush regularly used Is valuable.
