FARMERS COLUMN.
Filling the Ice House.

When you have filled the ice house,
put in another load. We use about two
hundred pounds week for forty weeks,
or eight thousand pounds, and at the
end of the year haye, say two thousand
pounds of old ice left. To furnish this
amount, we put in twenty-five tons of
ice. In other words, to get five tons of
ice for use, we put in twenty-five tons.
According to this, in a small ice house,
with no pains taken to preserve the ice,
four pounds are melted to keep one.
The ice melts from the top, and an extra
ton on top means an extra ton for use.
l said, no pains are taken at any time
to preserve the ice. The point of the
remark is this: If you have an abund-
ance of ice with no fear of running
short, you are not constantly worrying
about its being left uncovered. We take
care, before warm weather sets in, to
have plenty of sawdust or cut straw on
top of the ice, and as it melts on the
sides Of the building, fill the space with
the saw dust or cut straw. This. of
course, is essential. But there will be
many times during the busy summer
months, on farm, when Tom, Dick, or
Harry will be called upon to get ice, and
will be pretty certain to leave the door
open, or the ice uncovered. Put in the
extra load, and you need have no fears
Of running short of ice. We let the
Deacon and any other neighbor, who
will help to draw the ice in winter, have
all they want in summer. Keep out
rain, keep the air from getting to it
underneath, keep the top and sides
covered and if the ice is fifteen feet high,
it will keep. The sun may shine and
the winds blow on the covering, and do
good rather thar harm. But do not
forget to put in another load on top.
Fill the ice house 10 the roof. The ice
should melt into cone shape, so that the
water or melted ice will run in among
the small pieces of ice with which the
pieces are ''chinked, "and as it descends,
will freeze the whole into one solid
mass, and after that all the wetting will
be from the outside. HARRIS

Farm Hints for January.

OF course, before you take your vaca-
on, the farm harness will be oiled
and repaired, the wagons, and sleighs,
and buggies and carriages, carefully
examined, and the nuts tightened.
There will be a place for everything,
and everything will be in its place
forks, rakes, hoes, shovels, spades,
chains, CleyiseS, whitlie-trees, plows,
cultivators, horsc-rake, mower, binder,
roller, harrows, farm drill, garden drill,
garden line, corn marller-I am afraid
my corn marker is sticking on the fence
but | have no expectation of taking a
vacation, unless We may conclude that
that is the proper place for it,
OF course you will get the harrow
teeth sharpened, and the woodwork
saturated with crude petroleum. The
manure will be all drawn out and piled
in the field. You will get everything
ready for the lambs, and the pens will
be made comfortable for the early spring
pigs. You will have plenty of troughs
and racks. Hoops will be tightened on
barrels. New feathers will be put on
pumps. Pruning will be done. Dead
trees will be cut down and worked up.
Dead branches of shade tree will be
removed, and wherever shade trees, or
trees on the lawn are too thick, they
will be thinued out. Fences, gates and
bars, will be in perfect order. All the
pig pens, COW stables, hen house, cellars
and sheep sheds, will have two coats of
white wash, and some of them three.
The potatoes in the cellar will be sorted
over, the decayed ones removed, and
those intended for seed, for market, or
for home use, put by themselves. There
will be no broken panes of glass; no
windows loose in the frames the doors,
the locks and the bolts, will all work
smoothly. The garret will be over
hauled. Perhaps you will say this is
woman's work. At any rate, you will
see that they have good bench for the
wash tubs.-JosEPH HARRIS in An.

Has been fraught with greater blessings
than that which has accrued to the in.
habitants of malarial ridden portions OF
the United States and the Tropics from
the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The experience of many years has but
too clearly demonstrated the ineliiciency
of quinine and other drugs to effectual,
ly combat the progress of intermittent,
congestive and bilious remittent fevers,
while on the other hand, it has been nc
less clearly shown that the use of the
bittcrs, a medicine congenial to the
frailest constitution, and derived from
purely botanic sources, affords reliable
safeguard against malarial diseases, and
arrest it when developed. For disord-
crs OF the stomach, liver and bowels, for
general debility and renal inactivity, II
is also a most efficient remedy. Appe-
tite and sleep are improved by it, it en-
pels rheumatic humors from the blood,
