Spring Clipping Of Hersss

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive hsws owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
spring. It is done On the tAeoEy that in
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work, 30 could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks
Since we oblige them to do hand 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 of 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 6t 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 a horse can be clipped al 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.

the matter to my grocer one day and

Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling 1t suf-
ficiently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, soon remedied,
and now we like 1t SO much that we
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing food beverage instead of drug,
has been the means Of banisIling my
stomach trouble, I verify believe, for
l am well man today and have used
no medicine.
