Clipping' the horse that has a heavy
coat makes work easier for 'both hoose

with a clipped horse to- say nothing
about the one with a long, heavy cov-
ering of hair.
Too:'big a rush the first day of

ment expects School (Fairs to be car-

The Agricultural:" Representatives,
therefore,- will require the co-opera-
tion of various people to assist in
planning any necessary changes and
to assist with the judging at School

Farm Horses Come Back
The present low price : of oats and
other ;Feeds its contrast with the high-
er coat of gas and ' ail required in
tractor operation ,couslbiue toi'ndica'te
that the horse is rapidly regaining, fa-
vour as a medium of farm pollen The
next few years will.1iicely see a revival
its horse breeding and the use of
heavy draft horses on the .farms of
Canada, both east wand west. Under
pr?'sent conditions horses ;can be bred
and reared cheaply and when "they
have reached working age, the charge
for depreciation, "fuel and repairs' are
surprisingly low, for the 'self -oiling'
engine has nothing, whatever on the
