Spring Clipping Of Horoes.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in tho
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 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 reafon 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 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 1t required several hours to
do It.
Dairymcn also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year. The nanks
and udders are clipped every three or four
weeks, no II is easy to clean the parts be.
fore milking. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy

Have you ever stopped to think Just
what economy" in baking really means?
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving little on the 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, and save 10c to 25c.
But both are wrong. For the real ecop-
omy-the economy that counts-consists In
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than Is saved In
buying low-priced materials
And that beyond n doubt Is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder Is the favor
lite OF millions of cooks. 1t absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-whlch In the end Is the same thing
as economy.
Calumet is unfailing-it makes every
baking good-more tasty. more delicious,
more evenly raised-simp!y because II Is
not only pure and wholesome itself-but
so uniform In quality that you can always
depend upon It. Two Worlds Pure Food
Expositions-one Mt Chicago In 1907. and
the other at Paris. France. In 1ol2-have
officially pronounced Calumet the best
baking powder made.

UMPIRE BATTING IS
GETTING TOO STRONG
Study Of Rule Books Would Prove Of
Value to Some Players in the
Twilight League.

Umpire batting in the Twilight
league has reached such a stage that
it reminds one of the old days in the
big leagues, when the umpire had no
protection to speak Of Last evening
in the game between Hauser Bros. and
the Illihee club the rag chewing was
carried to such an extent that it was
very exasperating to spectators, as well
as players who are not in favor of um.
pire batting, Umpire Baker, who
spends considerable time studying the
rules, and is probably as well posted
rs any one m Salem on the rules and
as every one knows, is fair and impair
tial, always trying to umpire strictly
in accordance with the rules.
In last nights game when Baker re.
fused to let Shortstop Bishop take first
when hit with the ball after making
no effort whatever to avoid being hit,
but getting hit purposely to get first,
he acted according to the rule, but Mr..
Bishop was very much peeved at not
being able to slip one over on his

jumps. Manager Gabrielson and First
Baseman Dyer also tried to advance a
base on the play, claiming that if the
batter was not entitled to first it was
a ball. When Baker made them return
to their bases another big howl went
up, although it was in accordance with
the rules
Another case of not knowing the
rules occurred in the fourth inning,
when Bishop started in to bat right.
handed and changed to left, which the
rules say cannot be DONE when the
pitcher is in position. Umpire Baker
let the batter down easy in this case,
when he made him continue to bat
right-handed, instead of calling him
out, as per the rules, on account of not
feeling sure of his being out.
