Spring Clipping of Horses.

The modern practice among the best
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in the
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 several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard 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 off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as UNI
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 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.

Frequently we lose our dahlias,
and cannas because we neglect to
give them attention. We take 1t
for granted that they are "all right"
and by-and-by we discover that they
are "all wrong" 1t does not take long
to destroy these tubers after a dis
eased condition has set in. The thing
70 do is to watch them so closely
that the first indications of trouble
are seen, and prompt measures may
be taken to prevent development.
In too damp and cold a, cellar the
!ubers become moldy. and this means
decay. a little later on.
When the first touch of mold is
seen move the tubers to a warmer
location.
do this by spreading them out on
swinging racks of wire netting, sus-
pended midway between the floor and
the ceiling, first going over them, one
by one, and removing every portion
that shows any sign of being moldy.
Spread them out in such a manner
that they win not touch one another
IL the trouble continues, it nay be
advisable to remove them from the
cellar. wrap each root in paper, and
store in a frost-proof closet, or cup
board. But, generally. a place near
the ceiling will be sufficient to prevent
a spread of the disease.
Stone cellars are so dry and warm
that the tubers wither in them. or
start into growth at season when
growth means ultimate ruin. In such
cases, 1t is wen to give them a place
on the floor. in a dark corner, or Il
the temperature cannot be kept down,
remove them to a cooler place. above
ground.
The man who has due regard for
the welfare Of his vegetables will
never allow his cellar to become warm
enough to encourage growth during

CLEAR HEADED
Head 6ookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee did for him. (,rea is just as
Injurious because it contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
"My wife and l drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion OF tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and half years ago
had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape Of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. My
cup of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but became convinced, after
time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. / happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that 1 give Postum q
trial.
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it 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 banishing my
stomach trouble, verify believe, for
am well man today and have used
no medicine.
my work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'s branch house here is of
very combining nature. During my cof-
fee-drinking days was subject to
nervousness and the blues. These
have left me since / began using Post.

mend it to those whose work confines
them to long hours of severe mental
exertion." Name given by Postum

IL winter season, and the ventilation
which is given, with view of keeping
vegetables in good condition, will very
likely prove equally beneficial to all
tubers stored therein.
Plants in pots, or tubs, should be
kept quite dry. Not exactly dust
dry, but still so dry that there is
but little evidence of moisture IL the
soil, when the hand is used as a test.
If water we're to be applied while
the plants are in cold storage quite
likely premature growth would re-
suit, and this is just what we do not
want to happen. The aim should be
to keep the cellar-stored plants per-
fectly dormant, by keeping them cool,
and dry. and in the dark.
The window garden ought to be
showing some flowers this month,
especially the geraniums. Give them
the sunniest place. They need strong
light 10 bring out their rich colors
fully.
1t is a good plan to put the tall
plants at the sides of the window,
with the smaller ones between. In
this way all get an equal chance at
the sunshine. We are generally SO
anxious to show of our largest plants.
that we give them front places, and
the smaller ones have to take I'D
such light as they can get.
This is not fair to the little fell
lows. In order to do their best thew
must be given just as good treatment
as the others receive. II favoritism is
practice6 In the window garden, we
must expect our plants to be of vary
ing merit.
