A CHEAP Ice HOUSE, "A farmer
wrote to the n T. Farmers Clnb:-
"a year or two ago had my atten-
ton called to an ice house built by
farmer near ne, which was simply
bin made with rsugh boards, Is feet
square, and rooted over, leaving
large opening at the front AMI sides.
He said his ice kept perfectly until
the next winter. He put on layer
of sawdust about foot thick On the
ground, and then stacked the ice
snugiy in the centre Is or 20 inches
from the walls, and then filed in with
sswdust, and up over the top a foot
or more thick. Last winter before
filling my ice house, | determined to
try his method / accordingly tore
out all the inside wall, and shoveled
out the sawdust; then filed by stack
ing it snugly in the center Is to 20
inches from the walls. This space I
filled in with pine sawdust, and COW
cred the whole over the top a foot
thick or more | left out the win
dow before mentioned, and took
down my door and left it all open, 30
the sun can shine in there every day.
Now for results. At the present
time l have ga abundance of ice, and
the cakes seem to come out as square
and perfect as when tiiey went in,
seemingly nothing lacking except
what is used out. l am satisfied how
to build an ice house.

A wise Saying.

An English farmer remarked taat
che fed his land before it was hun
pry. rested it before it was weary,
q and waeded it before it was foul =
We have seldom, if ever, seen SO
much agricultural wisdom eondens
ed into single sentence. 1t would
he difficult to avow an agricultural
practice, each particular of which
would be more opposite to the prac-
tice eff the land killers and skinners
of the South. Such persons do not
feed their land at all. Though land
may have nine lives, like cat, yet
it, may die at last Of starvation
Weary land" How apt an express
sien! Not utterly exhausted, but
tired, wesried. Reader, have you
net some land which, this summer.
will pant and blow and struggle un-
der the burden of a starving and
sickley stalk of corn? "Weeded it
when foul" Why, some of our plant
ers raise weeds for manure. Vile
pests, of no use to man or beast, are
suffered to grow up and cucumber
the ground. merely for the sake of
the privilege of burying their dead
bodies to supply vegetable matter to
the soil. On perfectly conducted
plantation, no plant would be suffer
ed to mature its seeds. which was
not of some known and positive util-
ity. Peas and clover are better than
weeds-they feed both the soil and
domestic animals, and give No trouh-
lie to succeeding crops. Remember
the practice of the English farmer
Do not wait until your land begins
to get poor before you manure it
fit is rich, make it richer. Do not
wait until your land begins to fail
before you rest it-give it rest in
time to prevent its ever being tired.
Do not wait until your plantation is
stocked with weeds before you begin
TO destroy them. One weed destroy
ed this year will save much heeing
next year. Manure soon and well,
give abundant rest and cultivate
clean. He is good farmer who
observes these rules Southern Cul

RADISHEs IN WINTER.-G alligani's
Messenger says that radishes may be
grown III very few days in the fol
lowing manner. Let some good
radish seed soak in water "a hours,
then put them in a bag and expose
them 10 the sun. In the course of
one day generation will commence.
The seed must then be sown in a
well manured hot bed, and watered
from time to time with lukewarm
water. BY this treatment the rad
ishes will in a very short time acquire
sufficient bulk to be good to eat
If it be required to get good radish-
es in winter, during the severe cold,
an old cask should be sawn in two
and one-half Of it filed with good
earth. The rsdish seed. beginning
to sprout as before, must be sown in
this half and the other half be put
upon it and the whole carried into
the cellar. Use lukewarm water as
before. In the course of five or six
days the radishes will be fit to eat.

A Milwaukee Dog Tale.

The ice was very weak in the riy-
er above the city, but two dogs had
the temcrity to believe it strong
enough to hold them up, 50 they
started to cross. About half way
over, one of them broke through.
The other saw that harm had be-
fallen his comrade, and broke into
a run, yelping loudly. He had near
ly reached the shore, when, finding
that his comrade did not come to
time, he whirled, and went back as
fast as he could, reached the spot
where the unfortunate was found,
ering in the water in his vain at
tempts to extricate himself, and
reaching over, grasped him by the
neck and enveavored to pull him
out. It was bigger job than he
had contracted for and he
tried it at the evident risk of being
pulled in himself.
At length he seemed about to
give it up as bad job, stood upon
the ice looking about him for a
moment, and then, with q disconso-
late whine, turned to walk away
The dog in the river, conjecturing
that he was to be deserted, uttered
a melancholy yell, which fell upon
the others ears, and the latter, in
stead of leaving the spot, as he had
evidently designed doing, turned
ed and went back, and by strong
effort and with no danger to him
self, seized the drowning dog by the
neck and pulled him out so that
he could get a foot-hold and save
himself The two dogs then made
for the shore, losing no time by the
way, as may well be imagined. The
incident was witnessed by a num-
Der of people, and the sagacity of
the dog was highly applauded.
