KIPLING's IF'

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubling too;
If you wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, talk too wise;
If you dream and not make dreams your master;
If you think-and not make thoughts your aim,
If you meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap for FOOLS
Or watch the things you gave your life to- broken.
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:
If you make a heap of all your winnings
And risk it turn of pitch-and toss
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe word about your loss;
If you force your heart and nerve and snew
To your turn long after they gone.
And SO hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: Hold on"
If you keep your crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes loving friends hurt you,
If all count with you, but too much;
If you fill the unforgivng minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And, which is more-you'll be Man. my son!

MEANING OF HORSE POWER

ing One.

Many years ago, before most of the
motors of today were thought posi-
BILE, man used the horse to turn the
wheels Of his machinery by means of a
treadmill. In this way the horse
came to stand for unit of power &C
cording to the size of the machine he
could work effectively.
When engines began to displace
horses, because they could develop
several times the motive power, it was
natural to refer to their capacity on
the basis of horse power unit, by
speaking of an engine as being able to
do the work of two. three. four, five
or more horses. And so the custom
was established of making use of the
term as descriptive of power,
The fact that a horse power"-or
simply h. p. as it generally figures in
engineering descriptions really
means a greater power than is expect
ed OF horse and greater than he is
capable of. 1t means the power to

minute.

! aim to select large, roomy sows
with good length and depth Of body,
neat and short heads, wide between
the eyes, medium bone and large
heart girth with well sprung ribs and
a well developed set of vital organs
consequently, vigorous and hardy
constitution. Sows that come from
prolific families are more certain to
inherit those qualities and become
good mothers than those that descend
from families that are less prolific
When we get a good SOW that brings
us large litters of good pigs we keep

the average farmer in the dairy bust
ness would be entitled to have his
name enrolled among the benefactors
of the human race.
While this may seem to be an ex-
travagant statement it is not as much
so as it might seem before it is ex-
amined into more closely.
The average farmer today is a
dairyman just because he happens to
be. He did not go into it premeditat-
eddy, he just drifted into it. He found
himself with few cows and a little
more milk and cream on hand than
his family could consume and he sold
it, and he probably gave no thought to
whether it was good product or not.
He sold it simply because he found
out he could, and he probably never
took the trouble to look up the price,
or the test
AS long as the average farmers are
as Indifferent as this, we can look for
but little difference in the character
of the raw material that is coming to
the creameries.
just what is going to be necessary
to interest the average farmer In
dairying is pretty hard to tell. One
thing is certain, he cannot be driven
into it. 1t also seems that he cannot
be persuaded into 1t.

four big, strong horses running around
and playing like so many colts, and
even rolling in the snow, for we do
have snow occasionally in "Ole Vir-
ginny." Now, the writer does not re-
member ever seeing one of these
horses with cold or even a cough, all
during the time they were on this
Virginia farm.
OF course ! am we'll aware that the
climate in the North and West is much
colder than that of Virginia, but
where teams are accustomed to the
winters of these other states, they can
be turned out with impunity, | should
think, and without any fear of in
juring them.
In connection with the idea of horses
being turned out for exercise in the
winter season, the writer calls to
mind a. paragraph that he recently
read which stated that Secretary Will
con had been wintering a herd Of
horses out of doors, and for the last
20 years, on his Iowa farm. These
horses have access to shed where
they could find protection from the cold
blasts, but it said that they sought
protection in wooded ravine and
would not go into the shed, even in
the worst weather. This herd of
horses enjoy the best of health, and,
being put in the pasture when between
one and two years old, are kept there
until they are taken out to be broken
and sold
Here is practical illustration of
the cold weather that horses will stand
and thrive in, if they are turned
loose, SO that they can get the amount
of exercise that they always stand in
need Of
Too many stations are pampered,
and at the same time injured by keep

ter.
Just rememember that it is almost
impossible to hurt a horse of any
class, or of any breed, by turning him
out and letting him keep warm by
moving around in the paddock, field
or lot.
The same simple rule will apply
equally we'll to brood-mares and colts.

We are now in the midst of winter
weather, and the daily care of the
farm teams should be matter of i'm
portance to their owners. This car
ing for them does not altogether con-
sist in feeding and watering regularly,
although these are the main essen
tails, and without good feed and an
abundance of pure drinking water, the
work stock cannot remain in thrifty
condition.
The question of exercise is a most
important one, and one that should
never be neglected. think it is
good plan to turn out all of the work
horses every day that are not in act
ual use, especially on days when there
is no falling weather"
One of the greatest mistakes that
a farmer can make is to leave his
teams standing in the barn, day after
day, and on full feed, as they are liable
to suffer from attacks OF Indigestion,
and any of the older stock is very
liable to stock up from want of exer-.

more subject to colds than where they
