Care of Horses.

1t Is a very good practice to clip
horses. partly or in whole. at this
time OF the year. We believe that the
European custom OF clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come.
IL rather better than our own usual
method Of either clipping all over or
stopping just above the knees and
hooks. Any clipping which frees the
lower part OF the horses body from
long hair is decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts. and this IL
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
than to save the horse.
Half clipping allows what mud adj
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-
lily removed, and the skin then dries
rapidly. Nature is surprised BY the
first warm weather in the spring, the
horse still has his heavy coat OF win
ter hair, and he perspires profusely at
his ordinary work. Most OF the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly,
keeping the whole horse wet from it's
vapor. IL this can be overcome, the
rest of the horses body can be dried
on with comparative ease. The only
way to overcome It at this time of
year is to clip the lower half of all of
the body.
Clipping the lower part of the legs
only simply aids in keeping these
parts free from mud. and this sort of
clipping is done more to save work
There arc not many who advocate
or practice clipping the entire body

Prior to that time he was employed
in the cooper shop of the Eagle Rol-

old.
Friday night Mr.. Lindemann was
braking on freight train on the
Waseca Tracy division. The train
reached Sleepy Eye from Tracy about
on time and it was necessary to do
some switching before preceding on
their way to New Ulm. The night
was dark and this circumstance may
have had considerable to do with the
accident.
From the facts as they have been
reported, it seems that that the young
man stepped between the cars to cut
off the air when the engineer started
up the train without giving the usual
signal and before Mr.. Lindemann
could get out his left foot was
caught and crushed by the wheel of

The annual meeting of the Women .
Federated Clubs of the Second
District is in session this week, today
and tomorrow at Luverne, The clubs
of New Ulm are not sending delegates.
A very fine program has been pre-
pared, some of the subjects on which
there will be papers relating TO civic
questions which deal chiefly with
problems Of public health. Home and
municipal cleanliness are treated
under the topics of Disposal Of
Garbage" and 1.-The House Fly"
Economic questions come In for con-
sideration under the heads of ''High
Cost Of Living that Women Can
Control. and "The Pensioning of
Mothers.
A wild story. growing by leaps and
bounds, has spread all over the city
the past three days concerning an au-
tomobile accident in which Walter
Schell of Los Angeles figured. So far
as authentic information goes, the
only found alton for the story lies in
the fact that Walter did knock man
down when the man in trying to catch
a street car ran in front of the machine
driven by the young man. The man
was injured to the extent of q broken
rib. The accident took place some
ago aud suit for damages was
begun. Those who have helped to
spread the story as it is going the
rounds should think for Z moment of
how little thing has developed into
something monstrous by the mere re- |
petition OF the tale with the addition
Of a few embellishments by each per-
son relating the matter.
