MAKES HIS HORSE
RUN A DYNAMO
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside a contributor tells as follows
how an Ohio farmer makes his horse
operate a dynamo, from which elec
tricity is developed to light the house,
run a cream separator and an ice
cream freezer:
“Our old friend the horse is going
into the electric light producing busi
ness through an invention patented
by Robert D. McCreery of Ohio.
“ ‘If,’ said McCreery, ‘a horse can
give power to a wagon, why can’t he
give energy to a dynamo?’
“In other words, a horse, figured
McCreery, could be used as a one-
horse power engine.
“So he invented a harness attached
to a set of gears which are in turn
attached to a dynamo. The horse
steps into the harness and starts
walking around and around a four-
teen-foot track at the rate of one mile
and a half an hour, making electricity
all the while.
“If the horse should stop an elec
trically controlled bell rings, as much
as to say, ‘Giddap, Dobbin!’ and an
electrically controlled whip taps him
lightly on the back.
“The electricity Dobbin thus makes
goes into a storage battery, and by
working three hours during each of
three days Dobbin can make enough
electricity to light a six-room house
for a week.
“ ‘The farmer needs light most in
winter time when his horse works
least,’ said McCreery, ‘and running a
dynamo a few hours a day for two
days in a week is one of the easiest
things a horse can do.’
“The dynamo can also be hitched
to a motor which will run a cream
separator or an ice cream freezer.”
ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR DOG?
Farm and Fireside says:
“A dog is property in Nebraska, and
his owner is personally responsible
for any damage he may do. In Ne
braska a dog which runs out upon the
road may be shot by people annoyed
by his barking. The useful, well be
haved dog will not be affected by such
laws, and wise dog owners will agi
tate for such laws.”
We have a hunch that Germany in
tends that proposed war zone about
the British Isles to be a torrid zone.

IF.
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself whenever
men doubt you.
But make allowance for their doubt
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tireding,
Or toeing lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give wav to hat
ing,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and dis
aster
And treat those two imposters just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for
fools.
Or watch the things you gave your life
to, broken.
And stoop and build ’em up with
worn-out tools;
i I
If you can make one heap of all your
winningc.
And risk it on one turn of pitch and
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be
ginnings.
And never breath a word about your
loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone.
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the will which says to them:
“Mold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue.
Or walk with kings, nor lose the com
mon touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving 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 a
Man, my son!
A PARABLE ON BOYS.
Verily in this day and generation the
father raiseth up his boy on the side
walks. He layeth around the soda
founts and imbibeth slop and hook
worm. He groweth in knowledge of
nothing save cigarettes and cuss
words.
When he attains the age of 16 he
acquires a suit of clothes turned up at
the bottom two furlongs above his
feet. He displayeth a pair of noisy
socks with purple background and vio
lets to the front. He weareth a pair
of low-cut shoes; also a green necktie.
He looketh like a banana merchant on
the streets of Cairo.
The inside of his head resembleth
the inside of a pumpkin. He falleth
in love with a spindle-shanked girl
with pink ribbons in her hair, and
craveth for an automobile that he may
ride her forth in the springtime. He
scattereth his pin money like a cy
clone scattereth a rail fence. He sit-
teth up at night to write poetry and
giveth no thought to the multiplica
tion table. His mind turneth to the
varieties of life and not to the high
cost of corn bread.
Verily, verily, he needeth a board ap
plied vigorously to the southkwest cor
ner of his anatomy.
He thinketh his father a plodder
his mother a back number. He pic-
tureth to himself great riches sud
denly acquired. He dreameth of
steam yachts and private cars.
Yes, he thinketh himself the real
stuff. He butteth in where he is not
wanted; he criticiseth his elders; he
purchaseth cheap perfume and smell-
eth louder than a billy goat.
When he groweth up he getteth a
job as a clerk in a store at $1 a day
and swipeth the change from the boss
until he is caught.—C. I. A. Lass-O.
