That lce.House.
from Cor. of Practical Farmst.

FROM Cor. oi Practical Farmer.
Fourteen years ago, about this
time of the year, in an open spell OF
weather, l determined TO build an
ice-house l2xl6 feet in size. got
four foundation timbers together on
a somewhat elevated spot of ground,
TO keep water from flowing under,
and put in four joints ready to lay
on floor. That night the weather
changed TO very cold, and before !
could go on with my work the ice
was ready for saving and packing.
| immediately tramped between the
joist, solid with sawdust, laid on
s",s sC:.s 9Sg ecssf lloessellyy and packs
ed thereon sixteen tons OF ice, solid,
one foot and half distance from
the outside all around. As soon as
the weather moderated | put up my
studding, put on shinglc roof and
boarded up the sides with common
inch boards-wide ones, but put on
in the same manner rs siding; LEFT a
large hole open at each end under
the roof for free circulation at the
top, filed in the vacant space all
around with sawdust, and the same
depth above it-and the whole was
complete and ice never kept better.
| have used this house every year
since without change and with the
same results. have put In enough
one year to last two years, and Il
kept over well. So there is no theory
about the matter, and almost any man
can do likewise on larger or smaller
way, only large bulk of ice will
keep better than q small quantity.
But giving an air.tight foundation
with cover to protect from sun and
rain, a good circulation of air above,
and a substantial enclosing of at least
a foot of sawdust, and you have the
hrury of ice cheaply and surely, all
the year round, if you want 1t.

Meeting of Board Of Agriculture.

The annual meeting OF the Penn
sylvania State Board OF Agriculture
commenced at Harrisburg yesterday
at o'clock p. NJ. The programme
issued by the Secretary contains the
following subjects for essays and
discussion:
Wheat-the best variety from the
miller's standpoint; the most eco
nomical farm fence; how can a far
mer most economically maintain or
increase the fertility of his farmY Is
stock raising profitable in Pennsyl-
vania T? Farm fences and ways over
the farm from a legal standpoint
the adornment of farm houses; are
investments in land for renting pro-
fitable What is the most profitable
crop to succeed corn? Why is the
apple not as extensively grown in
Pennsylvania as in some other States
In addition there will be discussions
upon any subject that may be intro.
duced by members of the Board.
The meeting will be held in the Office
of the Board, and an invitation is
extended to all persons interested.

The Michigan Farmer reproduces
the following, which is of vast import.
ance TO farmers: "a question of
financial Importance to farmers Is
asked of each other almost daily, and
seems not to be satisfactorily answer
ed. 1t is regarding the shrinkage of
hogs, in dressing, to decide what
should be the difference in the price
between live and dressed hogs to give
the same returns TO the farmer. To
satisfy ourselves on this point, and to
be able to answer others positively,
we this week selected twenty pigs,
farrowed the last year in May, from
five litters, all cross-bred Suffolk and
Poland China. They had nothing but
thin grazing after being weaned, till
the corn was large enough to feed,
since when they have been fed well,
and, though not large, were well fat
tened. We give below the exact
weight alive and dressed:

Manner Of stabling Cattle.

Correspondence Of Country Gentleman.
1t is the usual custom, | have
noticed, for farmers TO tie their cattle
in the barn by placing the largest or
strongest at the head of the stable or
farthest from the door; the next one
that "beats" second, and so on, every
creature being stronger than any tied
below it. This plan is good as FAR as
tying up is concerned, but what Is the
result when the cattle are let out
The weakest is united first, of course,
which goes TO the water and begins
To drink, but the second Is close be-
hind and with a hook and a toss
drives the first away, only 70 he serv-
ed the Same itiffick 5y'fhs third, anfl so
on, till all but the last have received
sharp pushing. II two are contented
to drink together, the first that fin
ishes will hold up his head and streams
of water will run from his mouth
upon his companion. All this Is
inconvenience and consequent injury
may be avoided by beginning at the
head to unite, or, as | have practiced
thus far this winter, letting out one
at time, and waiting till it is done
drinking before untying the next.
Before l have cleaned its stall and
carded the next, it will have drank
to sufliciency and quietly walked
away. / find the cattle drink more
regularly, and ! think somewhat
more, while good order reigns in the
yard.

AT recent meeting of the Elmira
Farmers Club, the practice of burn
ing horses feet in fitting the shoe
was discussed at some length, and
received severe and unanimous con-
demnation. We are glad to notice
such practical matters occupying the
attention of farmers clubs, and equal
ly glad that in this, as in most other
cases, the judgment of this particu-
lar club is emineRtly correct. The
continuance of this abominable and
useless practice must be held respon-
sible for many of the ailings of horses
feet. One of the parties to the discus
sion proposed the following practical
test: "If man will hold his thumb
nail to hot iron and burn off the
projecting end, he will find as the
nail grows out, the extremity will be
brittle and very liable to break in
slivers. The same effect is had in
burning the hoof, it becomes brittle
and splinters break off,"

Prom tho Farmers Review.
In your planning this winter we
take it for granted that every farmer
who reads the Revie,0 is already plan
ming for the work of next season, set
apart some plat of ground for the
boys "to have and TO hold" as their
own for the season. Sit down some
evening and have a cheerful, conf
dental talk with them. Ascertain
what crops they would prefer to cul-
tivate and experiment with, determine
what variety OF seed is best, and dis
cuss methods of treatment-when TO
plow and plant, how many times to
cultivate, and go through with all the
details from seed time TO harvest.
Calculate as nearly as possible, the
amount of time they will have to
devote to their little plantation, and
then, when the time comes, grant
them all the time agreed upon with
out word. Furnish them with the
best of tools, and implements, both
for their own work and for that which
they are to do for you, and aid them
in all possible ways. In this manner
they will become fitted for land
owners, and successful farmers. This
love for experimental farming, will
continue through life, and they will
accomplish work of great value for
the generation in which they live, and
for the generations that are TO come
after them. Discuss with them also
the probable conditions Of the market
during the next twelve months, for
after all it will be the money results
that they will be most interested in,
and which will influence them most in
the future. To have money to invest,
next year, in an animal, wagon, an
implement, a suit of clothes, or some
thing else of value and utility, or to
put out at interest, is matter of
grave moment to them. What the
boys of the farm need is recognition
and encouragement. Asa rule, those
boys help their fathers most whose
fathers most help them.

"Shrinkage 4SS pounds, or triAe
over one.seventh. We were offered
81 per hundred for a lot on foot,
which would have amounted to
$ll7.40. We sold for $5.lO dressed
amounting to $l25.O2, leaving s7.62
in favor of dressing at these prices,
and the rough lard was sufficient to
pay for butchering. This class of
pigs are said to shrink much more
than the larger and older hogs.
Farmers can look this over at their
leisure and decide how they will
sell.
"Another question which. we have
been asked many times is, how much
less will hog weigh after he is stuck
than alive ? We have heard intelli-
gent men claim that there was no
perceptible difference. We weighed
the first two before scalding, and the
loss was s and Il pounds respect

THAT COWS may be too fat to give
a full flow of milk, and hens too fat
to lay, is current opinion among
farmers In some sections, which Is an
absurdity, IL seems TO me; the fact
being that the cow or hen gets Eat on
account OF non-production, not that
the yield of milk or eggs is lessened
by the accumulation of flesh. Cows
take on flesh when supplied with rich
food beyond their capacity to convert
IL into milk. Certain articles of food
have q tendency TO produce milk,
while the fat-forming qualities Of
