CLIPPING HORSES IN SPRING!
Heavy Coat Of Hair Causes Much
Sweating, Which 10 E~nervatino
to Work Animals.

A good many horses come through
the winter a with heavy, rough
coats that are not shed when spring
work begins; the result is they are un-
comfortable when at heavy work. A
heavy coat of hair causes much sweat
ing, which is ~enervating to the horse
and consequently produces an unnec-
essary drain upon his strength and
vitality. Nor is this all. A horse that
sweats freely during the changing
weather of spring is very apt to take
cold. Rough, shaggy coats should be
clipped in the spring before heavy
work begins.
There are excellent clippers on the
market for this purpose, and they an
be bought at very reasonable prices.
A good clipper will pay for itself In a
single a on almost any farm, and
sometimes 1t will do much more than
that. If a team is laid up with a bad
cold for a few days when work is
pressing the loss of work may become
very expensive. This should be avoid
ed by the use Of a clipper and Incl
dentally also make the horse more
comfortable. i.

RATTLEsNAKE MARKET IS OFF
Owner Of Six-Foot Reptile Could Find
No Buyer in Georgia

Townsville, Ga.-The market for
rattlesnakes in Townsville seems to
be badly "off" now, and a man from
the country with a big live one for sale
was very much disappointed when he
could find no demand for it.
The snake was six feet long and
sported ten ~rattles, and the wner said
he had expected to get at least SIS for
it, but nobody seemed to want a snake
at all. One citizen said that but for
the recent action Of the Georgia legis-
lature he would have taken the snake,
but thought 1t too dangerous without
a cure for the bite.
The snake owner seemed to be ig-
norant Of the mighty revolution that
had taken place in the state, and when
last seen was going toward n Of the
drug stores, evidently laboring under
the delusion that he might still find
that the antidote for snake bite was
kept there and be able to dispose Of
his snake.

%SUFFRAGISTS TO HELP
p" BY PATCHED SHOES

Philadelphia. - The patched
shoe is the latest wrinkle among
suffragists here.
It's a patriotic move. They've
adopted resolutions to go without
the new $40 footgear this season
and instead they'll turn the mon
ey over to a fund for national
preparedness.
. OF course, they won't wear 'em
down at the heel or out at the
toe, in an excess Of patriotism.
That was all very well for the
soldiers at Valley Forge-they
couldn't help themselves. The
suffragists will have 'em patched.
