True Story About My Dog and Myself.
The story l am going to tell you is
really a true one, about my dog and
me.
] am six years old, but 1 think my
dog must be near fifty, because l have
had him ever since could remember.
Chm is his name, and he knows it too.
just as we'll as you boys and girls know
your names. When | ask him il he
wants his breakfast, his tail wags yes;
but never no, to question like that |
think his tail could wag no if it want
ed to, as my dog can do most any
thing.
or all the things that we do for play,
taking turns being horse is most fun
NEST. My brother made nice har-
ness-not for me to wear, but for Chum.
He likes it as we'll as do. / believe,
for when get on the sled he is fasten-
ed to. and say: Now, go it Chumie!"
that's what / sometimes call him
how he does skip along! Don't the
wind just whistle through my ears, and
the snow fly in my face! And all shout
and wave their hats when they see us
90 down the street, past the slow old
horses, just as easy.
Sometimes the farmers going into
the city will race with us; but when
Chumie hears me say: Hi there!
Stur boy" he just runs away from
those old horses as if they were stand
ing still. Then the men and boys
scream, and throw their hats in the air,
and the butcher gives Chumie a piece
of meat. Every one pats him on the
head, and calls him good fellow, and
sometimes l have candy given me be-
cause | own such IL fine dog.
Then it is my turn to be the horse.
Chum gets on the sled, and | put my
little whip in his collar, which carry
when ride just to be like & real man;
but / never touch it to Chum. He goes
fast enough, and it would make him
sorry, and then should be sorry; and
that why don't use it.
Chum is such heavy dog that can't
go very fast, and Gil the teams pass me
trotting along the road. | say to the
men / have raced with: wait until
Chum is a horse again, and | will go
by you" If we can't travel as fast, l
am very proud to SEQ the people all
stop and look. and hear them laugh

THE FARM ICE-CROP.
Somc Practical Suggestions Relating tC
the Packing of Lighthouses.

Some Practical Suggestions Relating to
the Packing of Lighthouses.
While the farm lies buried in its
wintry shroud, the ice crop is ready
for the harvest. No farmer who has
once enjoyed the advantages of hav-
ing a supply Of ice during the warm
months will willingly forego them for
single season; for ice in midsummer
is not only convenience but luxury.
The earlier the crop is secured the
better. Although ice is sometimes
formed late in winter. there are sea-
sons when, if it is not secured early,
the chance Is lost for the year. In
the Middle States it will do to cut ice
when it is four to six inches thick, but
in the more northern regions thicker
ice can be obtained. If the ice is
covered with snow it must first be
scraped off. Then lines are marked
on it's surface for the saw. An inch
board. six feet long, with cleat firmly
attached across the lower end, is used
to bring the blocks out of the water.
Then they are showed along the
surface to the sleigh, into which
they are loaded by means OF
an inclined plane of planks or
boards. In packing in the ice-house
surround the ice with some non
conducting substance and provide per-
feet drainage at the bottom and VEN
tilation ut the top. Saw-dust is one Of
the best non-conductors, about one foot
in thickness all around being sufficient.
The interstices between the blocks
should be filed with the same SUBJ
stance. No expensive structure is
needed for an ice-house. Any thing
that will hold saw-dust is sufficient for
practical purposes. In the absence Of
other receptacles, one corner of hay
nov or wood-shed, partitioned of
with rough boards, will keep the ice
just as effectuaily as more costly
structure. When there is no other
convenience. or the ice-house will
not hold quite enough, the supply
may be helped out by making q stack.
Lay down Eoor of rails, upon which
stack the blocks as compactly as posi-
BILE. Cover thickly with non-conduct-
ing material, such as straw, marsh hay
or cornstallSs. Finish the top SO as to
shed rain, and put boards and rails
around the sides to keep the covering
in position. In removing the ice, open
always at the same place and at the
top. If the stack is large and well
built, the ice will keep the greater part
of the summer nearly as well as in d
costly structure. -American Agricul-
turjst.

The last milk drawn from the co"

in the management of farm, as
with all other pursuits, attending "
details has done much to assure sue

have due allowance of salt give milk
richer than those which are not sup
piled with salt.
Meats and vegetables may reappeaI
on the table in dishes as dainty ana
nutritious as on their first appearance.
The secret ofgood housekeeping lies IN
minutiaa of detail rather superfuity.
Nut Pudding: One cupful OF sugar
one-half of cupfui Of butter, two cup
fuls OF flour, one-half OF cupful Of
cold water. three eggs, one and one
half teaspoonfuls of baking powder

-Stewed Eggs: Cut in thick slices
six hard-boiled eggs. Place in stew

cup of sweet milk, butter size OF an
egg; one onion, chopped very fine; salt
and pepper to season. Dredge into

ten minutes, then pour over six slices

English Pancakes: One pint Of
milk. two eggs. one tablespoonful Of
sugar, one cupful of flour, one tea
spoonful of baking powder, one cupful
of cream, little salt; melt little but

sprinkle with powdered sugar, and
roll up like jelly roll and serve.
Nearly all failures with peaches are
due to the work OF the borer. which
operates in the collar of the tree near
the ground, and this should not be
mistaken for the disease known as the
yellows The trees must be examined
for the borer, as it can not be avoided
by any remedy except to kill it When
it first begins to work on the tree
though occasionally it is destroyed late
in the season by inserting wire in the
| bores made.
Dreamed Oysters: For this excel.
lent dish take equal proportions o
oysters and cream, say pint OF each
a small bit of onion cut fine, u shred O
mace. tablespoonful of flour, and sal
and Pepper to taste. Scald the onion
and mace in the cream, and the OYSTER
in their own liquor until they curl

A telegraph operator in Minneapolis
has invented word-counting machine
which may be used by itself or at
tached to q typewriter. 1t is much
the same sort of thing as a pcdOmeter
only it is more accurate. 1t is as large
as small clock. The works are in
side the nickel case. on one side OF
which is the face. Tho machine will
count up to $500 words, and can be
used for any number by keeping
tally of the number of times it passes
the $500 mark. There are two hands,
like the hour and second hand Of a
watch. Every time word on the
typewriter is finished, the same mo-
ton which spaces the word registers
on the word-counter. When the sec
ond hand comes up to twenty-five
words, the large hand moves forward
quarter of space. The face is divided
into twenty-five spaces, one for each 100
words, and a glance at it shows at once
how many words have been written
The use of the word counter is not linn
tied to type-writing machines, but it
can be used in writing and dictation by
keeping it at hand and making slight
pressure at the end of each word.
Some operators attach it to their desks
and work it with a string fastened to
their feet. 1t is useful invention,
especially in telegraphy, and in making
an article of "a specific length. Y.
