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 l am well 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. l 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
son 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 a shed where
they could find protection from the cold
piaotS, IL bdIu that tuty hOu6nt
protection in a 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 a practical illustration of
the cold weather that horses win stand
and thrive in, IL 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.

| 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 well to brood-mares and colts.

S0WS FROM FALL
LITTERS ARE BEST
Animals From Prolific Families
Are Certain to Make the
Best Mothers.
(By w. NJ. KELLY.)

In selecting breeding sows I prefer
to select the pigs from fall litters as
they arrive at the age that / prefer
to have my sows when they drop their
first litter and when allowed to OBJ
tain large part of their growth and
development on pasture and forage
crops the following summer they ar
rive at the very best period of de-
velopment to breed for litters early
the next spring.
I 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 good SOW that brings
us large litters of good pigs we keep
her as long as she will breed.

PLAN TO INTEREST
FARMER IN DAIRY
While Indifference Is Manifested,
No Improvement in Mate
rial Is Expected.

The person who could succeed In
getting up some scheme of interesting
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 1t 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-
-edly, 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 1t was a good product or not.
He sold 1t 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 it.

CRY j. M RELLl

By ]. NJ BELL)
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
tials, 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-
else. Then, again, all of them will be
more subject to colds than where they
are turned out to run around and play
in the farmyard.
Last winter the writer had man
renting land from him; this man
handled farm teams in many of the
northern and western states, espe-
cially in Montana, Idaho and Washing
ton, also in Minnesota. In all of these
states he had used teams on the road
and on the farm. Moving to Virginia
in the month of December. he bought
four head of horses in the city of
Richmond, and bringing them. down to
the farm, put them in rather open
barn, and kept stable blankets on them
at night, and, in fact, all the time that
they stood In the barn. But he did
not keep them in the barn in the day.

Ewes In Wet Weather.

During wet weather no farmer will
want to have the ewes running over
his fields. Both the land and the ewes
will be harmed if the animals run over
the fields in the mud. A pen large
enough for the purpose can be pro-
vided, and the ewes can get their ex-
ercise during rainy weather. and after
there is no more roughness to be
picked out of the fields.

British Post-Ofhce Considers This
Plan to Release Men for
Duty at Front.
ANOTHER WINTER CAMPAIGN
War Office Makes All Preparations
With This End In View, and Pub
lie Must Become Reconciled to
Prospect.

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch.
LONDON, July 1.-THE question OF
employing women generally as postmcn
is under the consideration Of the Brit
ish post-office. and Herbert Samuel is
expected TO make statement in the
House of Commons shortly. Approx
matelY $4,000 men are now acting as
temporary postmen TO replace the per
manent officials who have joined the
colors. About 5000 of this number are
of military age. but n large proportion
of them are unfit for military service.
The War Office now believes that
England will have to face another win
ter campaign. as the progress of hos
Titles indicates that the war is not by
any means likely TO be over by the
late autumn. The military authorities
have made M their minds to another
winter campaign. and tho public must
make up Its mind to il, too. II was with
this prospect before him that Mr.. Nc
kenna introduced his unlimited war
loan, and all the work Of recruiting
and the production of war munitions
and supplies is being undertaken on
the same calculation.
The authorities are fully alive now
learned much since last August of the
ways OF these gentry. but the number
of suspected srics now in n position
to do no further harm to England re-
veals tho fact that not only are the
British detective agencies on the uui
vive, but also that the perilous role of
spy still finds many who are not afraid
10 play IT. Many spies write their in
visible messages TO the Fatherland
with details about the British ships by
using world famous scent. which is
in great demand by women.
Another new dodge Is TO carry their
secret messages TO the Continent in

STRANGE REFUGEES IN PARIS
Swnrms of Decs From Northern France
Driven From Former Homes.

PARIS. July 17.-Twice within a
week the business quarter OF the Rue
de Chateaudun has been invaded by
strange refugees from Northern France
-swarms of bees. which, following
their queen. began to hang in a clus-
ter from one of the lamp posts. Pre-
sumably they had been driven from
their former home by the ceaseless
hurricane OF fire, smoke and explosion.
When the first visit occurred the DO
lice sent for scientist from the zoo,
who arrived with the usual equipment
for enticinG bees into hive, but the
visitors turned n deaf ear to the time
honored wiles and stung a few of the
too-curious public. Then the hremen
were sent for, but 1t was finally decided
that II you'd be better to suffocate the
bees than to scatter them by means
of stream of water. Accordingly,
they were subjected to poisonous gas,
which reduced them to insensibility and
enabled the specialist from the zoo to
sweep them away in a bucket.
Two days later another swarm ar
rived In the same place. and were
similarly dealt with.
