No NEED FOR Ice CREAM FREBzERs.
"A good Stanton housekeeper says she
has no need for a revolving freezer. She
just puts her cream in long tin bucket |
and sits the bucket in d Eeg or tub with
the usual quantity of ice and salt around
it, and then sets 1t in a pantry for an hour
or two, and the cream is as nicely frozen
as patent freezer would do it. To get a
quick freeze, it is said, with an abundance /
of ice and SALT if the whole thing is set in
the sun, the rapid evaporation is equal to
the patent process. That is worth trying
at any rate.

ACCUsToM your young horses that are
raised for draft purposes to walk rapidly
and to this end if there is any walk in
them, never allow them to strike a trot. I
1t is astonishing how rapid gait can be
developed with proper training.
A New JERSEY farmer reports that
dressing of eight bushels per acre of salt
to land badly infested with white grubs,
enabled him to raise good crops of corn
for three years past, which was impossible
previous to this application.
