THE HOUSEHOLD.

KEEPING lCE.-In answer to the sew

following essential requisites for keep
ing ice in small quantities for faml-
ly whe re only single boarding is used
for the building. BY observing these
requisites, we have never been out of
ice when stored In such building,
with only seven or eight tons stored
for daily use through summer and
autumn. /. Perfect drainage at the
bottom, which may be effected by plac-
Ing the ice on ten-inch even stratum
of saw-dust, resting on floor of mar
row planks with cracks between them
2. The square block of ice made into
solid pile, with ten or eleven inches
space on each side, to be filed COM
pactly with saw-dust and trodden
down, as the pile OF Ice goes up. II
the filling Is attempted after the Ice
pile ls completed, crevices and open
ings sufficient to ruin the whole will
be left. 8. Ten inches or a foot of
sawdust on the top of the ice; to be
drawn aside while taking up piece In
summer, and Immediately replaced.
1. A free sweep Of wlnu over this top
stratum of sRwdust, throw open WIN
dows under projecting caves, or
through al opening several inches or
foot wide all around. AS an illus

the newly hired man came In and in

several Inches. "Are the upper win
dows all shut?" was the inquiry of the
owner. "Indade they are all tight and
good" "Then go and throw them all
open," was the reponse, "and make a
mark at the top of the Ice, and let me
know how much 1t has settled in the

With gas it Is simply impossible TO do
certain kinds of work at night, or to
do it as rapidly or as well as by day

production is brought TO the level OF
day production, and the practical busi-

Dr.. @. W. SimeRs has conducted eX-
periments on the influence OF the
electric light on vegetation. He
planted the qIick growing seeds of
certain common hardy vegetables In
pots, and divided these pots into four
groups, of which one was kept I'm the
dark, one was exposed to the influence
OF day light, and one to the influence
of the electric light and daylight IN
succession. The electric light was ap-
piled for six hours each evening and the
plants were lett I'm darkness during
the remainder Of the night. The plants
that were kept entirely In the dark
soon died; those exposed TO the electric
light only, or to daylight only, thrOve
about equally; and those exposed TO
both daylight and electric light throve
better than either. The experiments
showed that the electric light is efilcaci-
Gus in producing ch 'orophylinthe leaves
of the plants in promoting growth. 1t
also appears from them that an electric
light, equal to fourteen hundred can
dies, placed at Il distance of a little
more than two yards from growing
plants, is equal in effect to the average
daylight of the English March. Other

confessed that the building OF a stable
for twenty horses on the top of pri-
vate mansion, access to which Is OBJ
tanned by means of lift, is calculated
to awaken feeling of astonishment,
even in these days of marvels. Yet
this is the case on house just erected
in Belgrave Square, London, by Mr..

that fashionable part Of London, and
by relegating the horses TO the top OIL
the house two birds are killed with one

of the stable avoided. The horses do
not seem by any means to object to the
mode of ascent possibly they are un-
conscious Of it Oh account OF the closed

GooD stock, superior stock, pays for
itself ali the time, A herd of cows is
we'll worth wintering that will pay in
milk and butter many times more than
the cost of their keep. No other kind
ought, therefore, TO be allowed on a
farm. No business man ever expects
to make heSdway against competition
by holding stock of goods that is Of
inferior value and out of fashion; ana
farmer ought to observe the same rule
and carry on his hands no stock that is
not or the very sort TO give him goo0
footing in the produce market. He
never can get good milk, good butter,
or good beef from poor runts Of Great

Superior stock Is the only kind an en-
