FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cheap Ice Houses.


AT the meeting of the Elmira Farm.
ers' Club, December 2Sth, w. A. Arm
strong said that cheap ice house
could be made out of a simple we'll
rooted enclosure, without hollow walls
or pits, or any costly apparatus. He
leaves six inches of space next the sides
all around, into which he rams clean
sawdust closely, and covers the ice
when packed with foot of the dust.
The ice is cut into large blocks and
made to fit at the joints as closely as
convenient, but where the edges are
jagged he fills in with pounded ice or
sawdust-the latter being the cheapest.
Drainage is important, but if the house
stands On porous soil, or is so elevated
that the water will run off readily, it
answers every purpose. He had kept
the ice several years in such build
ing, nine feet square, and the same in
height, the sides being only of inch
boards. When ice is taken out, be
careful to keep all cavities filled with
sawdust, OF it will waste away rapidly.
In answer to question as to the cost
of house fourteen feet square, he
said that $50 would pay for it and the
sawdust Z; and built of cheap lumber it
might cost only $25. In packing,
spent tan or cut straw would answer
nearly as well as sawdus It.

Bonnie Christie.

Two boys were in a school-room
alone together, when some fireworks,
contrary to the masters express prohi-
bition, exploded. One boy denied it.;
the other, Bonnie Christie, would
neither admit nor deny it, and was
severely flogged for his obstinacy.
When the boys got alone again, "Why
didn't you deny it?" asked the real
delinquent.
because there were only we two.
and one of us must have lied,n said
Bonnie.
"Tben why not say I did it?"
because you said you didn't, and 1
would spare the liar"
The boys heart melted-Bonnie's
moral gallantry subdued him.
When school resumed, the young
rogue marched up to the masters desk
and said, "Please, sir, l can't bear to
be liar. 1 let off the squibs," and
burst into tears.
The masters eye glistened on the
seltaccuser, and the unmerited pun
ishment on his school-mate smote his
conscience. Before the whole school,
hand in hand with the culprit, as if
they paired in the confession, the
master walked down to where Christie
sat, and said aloud, with emotion:
Bonnie, Bonnie, lad-he and 1 beg
your pardon; we are both to blame"
The school was hushed and still, as
older schools are apt to be when any
thing true and noble is being done-so
still, that they might have heard Bon
MES big boy tear drop proudly on his
copy-book, as he sat enjoying the
moral triumph which subdued him as
well as the rest; and when, for the want
of something else to say, he gently
cried, Master forever!" the glorious
shout of the scholars filled the old mans
eyes with something behind his spec
tacles, which made him wipe them be-
fore he resumed the chair.

His fancies SO exquisite, dainty. and rare, 49,, 81.

There are leaves, and mosses, and vines, and
flowers, -e~sn - n n
Tangled in wildwood or trained in bowers;
With drifts of sea-weed and dashes of spray
All mixed---in dreams faptastica way---
With plumes of feathery ferns and bells
That ring out oders through forest. dells;
And hunting horns, from whose silvery
throats yN9.

Sweet little Grace, with her winning face,
And her eyes so full of glee,
OF the household all, both great and small,
The pet and the darling she.
Poor little May ! all the lvelong day
Murmurs, nor falters, nor lags;
The baby she tends, the stockings she mends,
And sews up the carpet rags. r.Hs
Beautiful Grace, with smiles on her face
And love in her soft brown eye,
Rms to the gate to frolc and wait,
And kiss dear papa goodbye. e
Poor little May is homely, they say,
But good, and gentle, and mild;
She bushes that she was born to be ....
A drunkard's poor little child.
Frolicsome Grace wears curls, with trace
OF mirth in her mouth and eye:
She's pictures and books, doll that looks
Like fay, and dolls that cry. -
Pensively May sits sewing away,
But happy enough for that /;
She owns no toy, but gazes with Joy
Atthe pranks Of her pet cat.
Happy is Grace, she has large place
In hearts both loving and true;
She hears kind words, like chirping of birds,
And words Of good counsel too.
Pity poor May she hears all the day
Discord, and Earring, and strife;
No kind words greet with melody sweet
The dawn of her frail young life.
A plying eye looks down from on high.
That plying name is Love
All, all is well He calls her to dwell
With angels and saints above.

fruit of our experience, we shall raise

A TESNEssEg philosopher has made
the discovery that our solar system
travels about the star Alcyone in an
elliptical orbit, taking twenty
billions of years for the trip. He claims
that this huge cycle has its spring,
summer, autumn and winter, and that
in its changing seasons the vegetable
and animal life on the earth are liable
to be extinguished, to be followed by
new order OF things.

Fodder Corn .

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tlenlan says that the fodder corn ques-
ton seems to be still open. 1t will be
remembered by those who read the
proceedings of the Vermont Dairy
mems Association, that Mr.. Lewis took
strong grounds against it as an unpro-
fitable crop; useful it might be to a
certain extent, but not SO good as 9TH
er soiling crops. On the other hand,
Mr.. Mason. the President of the Asso.
citation referred to, assured the writer
that he could show by bis books that
six acres of the fodder corn had been
worth to him 5000 to feed to his herd
of eighty cows. Another dairyman
said he found his cows shrinking in
milk, and he thought the color of his
butter was not so good. He began to
feed fodder corn, and both Immediately
improved. In both these instances the
corn was sown in drills, two to three
bushels to the acre, and fed green. In
1871 we raised two acres in this way on
ground of moderate fertility. 1t grew
well, and when frost came it was a
heavy, though rather immature crop.
Only portion of it had tasseled. The
harvesting was laborious and expen.
sive. 1t was cut and bound like other
corn, and cured what it could be in the
field. When stored it was estimated
there were six to eight tons, and it was
packed away, well mixed with heavy
layers of wheat and oat straw. 1t
troubled us some about heating. but in
the main was pretty well eaten up. The
impression, however, left on the minds
of those who fed it out, was that it
lacked heart.
This season we planted the same
ground with corn, using an early varie-
ty. No manure was put on the land,
but two barrels of phosphate applied
in the hill. The result was crop very
much more valuable than the one raised
the year previous on the same land.
The amount of labor bestowed was less
than that on the fodder corn. As the
