CHEAP Ice HoUsE-SAvING SEED CoRN.
"A cores pondent of the American Far
mer furnishes the following:
We will give you our experience with a
cheap ice-house. Four years ago last JAM
uary, we had one dug, of the following di-
mensions, viz: ten feet every way; this was
dug on high ground into firm clay; after
getting it this depth, we had the bottom
made into bowl shape, and laid DOWN small
logs across it; at the surface we had a pen
made of logs, around the edge, TO the height
of four feet, and the dirt that came out Of
the hole was thrown up and rammed around
the pen; this pen increased the depth to
fourteen feet. The part in the ground has
no walling of any description. When fill
ing, we have small quantity Of straw kept
between the ice and the earth. Fifteen wa
gon loads will fill my house, and it has been
empty but once in four years, and that was
in November and then it was en- ptied by
taking out carloads at time for extraordi-
nary purposes. After the bank was thrown
up around the pen we set in four blocks at
the corners, and laid upon them two cour-
ses of logs; twenty feet long; they we're cut
this length in order to throw the caves some
five or six feet from the ice, and thereby
secure it from the intrusion Of water
There was left sufficient space between the
logs to admit free circulation of air. The
walls have crumbled very little--more the
first year than any since, and this was caus-
ed by rats. We paid a workman four dol
lars for putting on the roof, hanging doors,
&c., and this was the whole cost, save the
labor of four farm hands, two days digging
and putting up the logs, and the cost of ma
terials.
We will give you our plan Of saving seed
corn: several ears trial proves it be good
one, and it has been strikingly demonstrated
this season. Owing to bad seed the corn gen.
orally in this region came up badly this
spring; large humber Of farmers had to
furrow their land out and plant over, others
had more or less replantlng to do, We were
spared the trouble Of replanting a single
hill, as we believe every one of ours came
up, and we attribute it altogether to seed
saved as follows: Directions were given last
fall to the hands, when they commenced
cutting up corn, to leave such stalks as had
two or more good ears on them; these were
permitted to stand until the corn was thor
oughly ripe; after it was sufficiently cured,
the corn was gathered with the shuck on,
and put into the barn and left until near
planting time; it was then shucked, and the
best ears selected for seed. This plan OBJ.
viates the danger of cutting too green, o.
heating in the heap, of freezing, &c., SC.

PAINTING.-A writer in the New York
Crdyon publishes the following excellent
criticism upon public taste:
"In reference to painting, the public are
taught to look with delight upon murky old
masters, with dismally demonac trees, and
dull waters of lead, colorless and like ice;
upon rocks that make gcologsts wonder,
their angles are SO impossible, their frac-
lures are so new. Thousands are given for
uncomfortable Dutch sunlights, but if
you are shown transcript of day itself, with
the purple shadow across the mountains, and
across the still lake, you know nothing of it
because your father never bought such; SO
you look for nothing in it; nay, let me see
you in the actual place; lei the waters damp
your feet, stand in the chill of the shadow
itself, and you will never tell me the color
on the hill, or where the last of those flying
crows caught the sinking sunlight. Letting
observation sleep, what can you know of
nature? And you are judge OF landscape,
orsooth. So it is that the world is taught
to think Of nature, as seen through other
mems eyes, without reference 10 their own
original power of perfection, and much na-
tural beauty is lost"

The Cost of Royalty.

We find the following in reference to the
expenses and support Of royalty, in a late
number of the Boston Journal:
There exists in Liverpool, England, So
ciety of merchants called the Financial Re-
form Association, who make it their busi-
ness to watch the expenditures of the realm
of Great Britain, and to note and expose ex-
travagence or corruption in the use of the
public revenues. The Association has from
time to time published tracts in which the
lavish waste of money by government has
been shown up and retrenchment and re-
form loudly called for. The society has re-
Gently issued pamphlet with the ironical
title of "The Royal Household, a Model to
Parliament and the Nation" in which the
enormous expenses Of the Royal fami ly OF
England are set down for the thoughtful to
ponder on. From this tract it appears that
upon her accession TO the throne, the Queen
had the pleasure of giving her official sane
tion to an act of Parliament settling 1885,
600 year-nsarly $4,000, ,o00-upon her.
self for life. This was $4,000 more than
was allowed her predecessor, William ~.
At the same time the allowance Of the
Queens mother was increased from $ll0,-
600 to $4,000 Although the people grum-
bled at this extravaganza, few members of
Parliament dared to lift their voices against
it. In the House of Lords, Lord Brougham
boldly opposed the grant as excessive. All
who spoke against the measure were round
lay abused.
The statute which granted So, ,000, 900 per
annum to the Queen, with $4,000 per an
mum additional "for home secret service"
provided for the particular application Of
the money as follows: /. For Her Majesty S
private purse 100000; 2. For salaries Of
her household $626, 900; 8. Expenses the
household that is what Paddy would cal

A. Royal bounty aims, and special services
$4,000; 5. Pensions to the extent of ST, 900
6. Unappropriated moneys, $4o,2O0. Al
though it was stipulated in the act that the
Queen should surrender for her lifetime the
hereditary revenues which her immediate
predecessors had been possessed of, yet ex
cept the duties on beer, ale, and cider, ther,
was no REIMBURSEMENT of these hereditary
revenues, and she now draws from the civi
list Of Ireland Scotland, the Duchy of Ian

in addition to the sum OF $2,425, 900 vote,

WAsH1NeroN, Nov. IL, 1851.


Porter Wright: think you will find pla-
ces somewhere for the turnips. There is the
floor of the sheep barn, as well as the cellar,
and the floor and hovel of the new barn, (if
we have no cattle there, where turnips can
be placed and covered up with hay or straw.
Indeed, suppose if you were to make plat
forms, foot from the ground. with loose
plank, you might lay turnips upon il two or
three feet thick, and cover all up with hay
or straw, and that in this manner they might
be kept till spring.

not under hundred dollars, and as much
more as you think they are worth. l do not
exactly remember their size, but they are a
handsome pair, now in good order, will be
six years old in spring, and if you do not
need to work them this winter we have hay
and turnips to give them, and they may ca

Horse SHoEINo.-I have Of late noticed
in agricultural papers caution to farmers
and others how they have their horses shod'
And from the careless, bungling, and inn
proper manner that it is done in many IN
stances, the public mind cannot be called
too frequently to 1t. Their worst manange-
ment is in attempting TO remedy an interfer-
ing horse by pairing down the outside Of the
hoof and even placing the pieces of sole
leather between the shoe and the hoof on the
inside. Now this is all wrong. Yott never
find the horse who travels with the toe
straight forward or a little turned in, that i'm
terferes. Now what is the tendency Of par
ing down the outside of the hoof and raising
the inside but 10 turn the toe out, and cause
the hoof to spread inward, bringing it in
close contact with the exposed joint? Now
l will give my remedy, proved by expert
ence. have valuable family mare, thir-
teen years old, clean smooth, traveller, that
for several years was troubled by interfer-
ing; had several smiths try their skill Of
prevention, pairing down the outside, turn
ing the heel cork flat wise, &c., but all TO no
purpose. l even got a leather fender and
buckled round the ankle, but not satisfied
with this concluded to give my own direc-
tions as to the manner of shoeing. And
when directed the smiths to pare down the
inside of the hoof and leave the outside full,
they were ready to pronounce me insane
''You don't mean so." And some went so
far as to say they "would not do it as di-
rected for she would interfere so thai she
could not CO." But when they were given 10
understand that if they shod my horse they
must follow my directions, and leave the con-
sequnces with me, they yielded, and since
then for several years have not been troub-
led with interfering horses. And now all I
ask of those troubled with interfering horses
is 20 try the method thoroughly and satify
themselves. B. II. ANDREWS.
