RESEARCH WORK. ,
ProfoBsor Hiram Blnghnm, who con
ducted tho Ynlo nrchacologlcul expo
dltlon to mako researches Into tho
period o.' tho Incns, found a disposi
tion on tho part of tho Peruvian gov
ernment to discourage Investigation
by outsiders. This Is tho spirit that
Italy exhibited when scholars of othor
lands offered to rnlso money enough
to lay baro tho artistic and archaeo
logical treasures of llorculanoum.
During Liany years tho samo spirit
has proved a bar to research work
by foreigners In Egypt, says tho Mil

Peru and also In tho caso of Egypt,

but Turks. Tho Italians, on tho othor

For noarly a year thero has been
an "acuto labor famlno" In tho Pitts

much study to economic and sociolog

sion that; tho Increasing scarcity of la

than 3,500 foreign laborors, mostly
Huns and Austrlans, havo thrown up
their Jobs In tho factories and mills
and obtained employment In farming,
truck gardening and fruit-raising in
tho western country, says tho Now
York Tlmos. It was expoctod that
they would return to tho mills whon
tho winter began, but thoy appear to
bo so well satisfied with tholr chango
of occupation that they have not come
back, and, having onco tasted tho
sweets of living out In tho open, thoro

and, ovontually, cheapor living.
Tho interest In ocean currents at
this time is unusually lively. From
Sydney, Now South Wales, comes re

Spring Clipping of Horses.
r The modern practice among tho best
posted and most progressive horeo owners
and farmers is to clip all horses in tho
iprlng. It is done on the theory that in
their natural state horsca were not obh'ced
to work, so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over a period of several weeks.
Since wo ouIIro them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
bo removed for the same reason that wa
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prona
to be affected with other ailments as un
dipped 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 como out
in the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en
closed gear clipping machine, tho work of
taking off tho winter coat is easy. With
tho machine t horse can be clipped all over
In half an hour, whcreaR with tho old two
hand clipper it required several hours to
do it.
Dairymen rilso now clip the cows all
over two or three times a year. The flanks
and udders tire clipped every three or four .
weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts bo
fore milkihg. This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk
