Ice HoUsEs.-It is none too early to
get Ice houses ready. They are lux
ury that no well-to-do farmer should
be without. To such as have not a
spring so convenient that they may
have ''sprIng house" it is almost a
necessity. 1t is not needful TO build an
elaborate affair or one that will cost
much money. Ice will keep as well
above the surface as if stored under
ground. Ii the soil on which you
build your icehouse Is gravelly and
porous no drainage will be necessary {:
If not, secure good drainage, taking
care that the air does not reach the ice
through the drain. Pack the ice closely
and fill in with tan bark or sawdust on
all sides; cover the top for depth OF
two feet with the same material; venti-
late from the top, so that the air does
not pass through the ice. The best
floor for an ice mouse is of planks laid
upon sleepers bedded in gravel. Top
ventilation may be secured by means
of q cupola in the roof. The evapera-
ton from the surface of the covering
that is caused by the currents of air
passing over it cools it and prevents
mildew.

Conner Plating on Zinc.-The use OF
cyanide baths for plating on zinc, has
the double disadvantage OF being pols-
onous and expensive. Hess, IL is stated,
has overcome the objections by render
ing the cyanide bath Unnecessary This
he accomplishes by the use OF an or
ganic salt of copper, for instance a tar
trate. Dissolve l26 grammes sulphate
of copper blue vitrioD in 2 lltres of
water also 227 grammes tartrate OF pot
ash and 2S6 grammes crystallized car
Donate of soda in litres of water.
One mixing the two solutions light
bluish-green precipitate Of tartrate OF
copper is formed. 1t is thrown on a
linen filter, and afterward dissolved In
half litre of caustic soda solution OF
l6 deg. B., when 1t is ready for use.
The coating obtained from this solution
is very pliable, smooth, and coherent,
with fine surface, and acquires any
desired thickness if left long enough in
tile bath. Other metals car also be en-
ployed for batning in the form of tar
trates. Instead OF tartrates, phosphates,
oxalates, citrstes, acetates, and borates
OF metals car be used, so that it seems
possible to dispense entirely with the
use of cyanide baths.
