Cheap Ice Houses.

At the meeting Of the Elmira Farmers
Club, some time since, w. A. Armstrong
said that cheap ice house could be made
out Of = simple well-roofed enclosure, with
out hollow walls or pits, or other costly ap-
paratus. He leaves six inches of spacenext
the sides all around, into which he Grams
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, a. conven-
lent, but where edges are jagged he fills
in with pounded ice or sawdust-the latter
being the cheapes. Drainage il important,
but if the house stands on porous soil, or is
so elevated that the water willru off readi-
~, it answers every purpose. He had kept
ice several years in such = building, nine
feet square and the same in height, the
sides being Of inch boards. When the ice
is taken out, BE careful to keep all cavities
covered with sawdust, or it will waste away
rapidly. In answer to a question as to the
cost of house "A feet square, he said that
$50 would pay for it and the sawdust; and
built Of cheap lumber it might cost only
$50. In packing, spent. tan or cut straw
would answer nearly as well as sawdust.

change in the method of army disci-
pine. In case of the trial of q private,
he would have two of the same rade

methods of justice for commissioned
officers and enlisted men. 1t is claimed
for this innovation that it would ele-

would result in securing superior
material for the ranks of the army, at
the deterioration of which army officers
now SO much complain. 1t is main-
tanned that this cause of jealousy aud

The Farmers Convention a Chicago de-.
bated the subject of oheapcning Transporter
ton. Mr.. w. G. Flaeg, of Illinois, made
the principal speech, apparently rejecting
the sentiment of large class, the substance
of which was that although he did not be-
lievc in the governments embarking in the
business of contracting transportation lines
he feared there was no other way out of our
present difficulties.
Finally, resolutions were adopted asking
Congress to pass a maximum freight and
passenger law, regulating trade between the
states, and the legislatures to regulate trade
in the states; protesting against subsidies
to private corporations, demanding " the
construction of railroads and Improvement
of water communications between the in.
terror and seaboard, the same to be owned
and operated by the general government for
the purpose of affording cheap and ample
transportation, and to protect the people
from the exactions of monopolies urging
the people Of the interior to build manu-
factories to make home markets, and to free
themselves and keep from debt: declaring
that no one industry can be protected by
legislation, except at the expense of all other
industries, and announcing all special legis-
lation.

Principles Of Breeding.

Scientific investigation and research. have
established the following propositions as
true, in the transmission Of hereditary ami
NAL characteristics:
l. Like produces like, OF the likeness of
some ancestor.
.. When there is great uniformity
among tbs members Of species, the diver
gences of the offspring from the average
tyre are usually small
8. When considerable difference has
once been established, unlikeness among the
offspring are frequent and great.
4. Any accidental variation from the es.
tablished type in the form, disposition or
habits of species, may be perpetuated, and
to . limited extent intensified, by careful
selection and use.
s. An unnatural strain or demand on
any particular part of the animal machinery
long continued, terds to weaken or dwarf
all the other parts not allied to the one 20
stimulated.
6. Hereditary qualities are liable to be
weakened, If not entirely lost by disuse.

Cut Feed for Stock.

| One OF tho prime necossaries Of every
farmer engaged in rearing or feeding stock
is good cutting box. Numbers of them of

conclusion that all other things being equal.
there is one feature perfectly indispensable
to real good utter. 1t must work upon
the one. knife principle. Let the knife be
what shape It may, it must be single; it
must work up and down; must be easily
detached from the boz, and therefore readily
sharpened at will. One of the reasons
which will account for the small number of
feed cutters in nee among the ordinary small

Tobacco in the Holy land.

Captain Burton's new work on unexplor-
ed Syria, says an English journal, il full of
passages which are Of tho deepest interest
to all smokers. The tobacco which is grown
on the slopes of the Libanus aud the Anti
Libanus mountains appear to be one of the
finest quality and most delicate flavor. The
question, Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth ?" is answered by the fact that the
monks of the convention at the celebrated
locality are famous for the production of a
snuff, which for puugency, at least, is far
superior to the snufs Of Europe. Personal
experience of it ccnvinces us that a great
deal Of the pungency of this snuff is due to
the addition of some aromatic herb in ad.
dition to. the natural acridity produced by
the highly dried tobacco. "Nazareth snuff,
is not the least valuable relic which trav.
eler will bring from the Holy Land. The
cultivation of tobacco in Syria will proba-
bly, increase in relation to the improved
condition of affairs in Syria, we have little
doubt; and We trust that when agricultural
science 10 better studied in the HOLY Land.
EDg1ishmen will have the opportunity Of
testing the value and importance of Syrian
Tobacco products.
