GET READY FOR ICE.
Plan for a Good Though Inexpensive Ice
House.

Plan for Good Though Inexpensive Ice
House.
To cheaply build good ice-hogse for
forty TO fifty tons. make it high, SO that
but little roof is required. The founda-
ton should be three feet below the
surface to avoid frost. Two stories If
teen by sixteen is about right Double
doors must extend to the roof. The
corner posts must be rabl eted as shown
to receive the matched board lining.
On the outside of these posts light
frame should be covered with heavy
building paper two and one-half inches
from the lining and one and one half to
two inches from the paper. the covering
should be nailed on lightly. This work
leaves two dead air spaces between the
sunshine and the ice and no sawdust
packing will be needed. A ventilator
in the shape of a blinded window should
be placed in both gables under the roof
and the best of drainage must be pro-
vided below.
In the cut the outer line shows the
covering; the middle one the paper
lining; strips of plank are spiked over
the four-by-four posts to which to nail
the covering, and the inner line
is the matched lining. OF course
the plan can be modified to suit circum-
stances, the main thing being TO have
the dead air space. An inside tight

wIndbreaks for Bees.

/ don't think we sufficiently value
windbreaks for bees, says Mrs l.. c.
Axtell, in Bee Gleanings. II wintered
out of doors they are invaluable. We
could see great difference in the loss
of bees in wintering just as soon as we
had erected high board fence seven
and one-half feet high on the east, west
and north sides 1t does not make the
apiary much warmer in the summer, as
we feared it would. because in hot
weather the wind nearly always blows
from the south or southwest. or south
east, and then it blows into the apiary.
If it blows from the north or northwest
or northeast generally the weather is
cool, and it makes no difference IL il
does not blow into the apiary. IL the
bees are wintered in the cellar, and are
set out upon their summer stands with
a windbreak. even if packed with chat
the wind pierces the cracks in the
hives, and chills brood in small col
onies, while the bright sunshine at the
entrance invites the bees to fly, and the
cold wind so chills them that they
never return.

TORTOiSES WITH DATES.
Some of the Turtles Have Been Know
to Live Century.

Some of the Turtles Have Been Known
to Live "a Century.
There is well-grounded popular be.
lief that our tortoise lives to a vast age.
and numerous cases of turtles bearing
dates over a century old have been
cited. There was, until 1856. in the neigh.
borhood of the writer's home in New
Jersey an old tortoise which had been
marked by Mr.. Cyrus Durand, the in.
ventor of the geometric lathe. 1t bore
the inscription &C. d., 1885, clearly
cut with a graver, on its under shell.
As the tortoise had been obser- from
year TO year since the time of its
marking by the most trustworthy wit.
nesses, there can be no doubt that the
date was genuine. This tortoise has
not been seen since 1856, so il has prob.
ably died. Another, which has been OBJ
served for the past nine years, was
marked with the inscription &C. b.,
1s49.' As the letters and date were so
much worn as to be but family dis.
cernible. they were doubtless reliable.
This old animal was found for the last
time. dead. in the summer of 1889. An
other, bearing the date 1851. is still
alive. Assuming that the tortoiscs
were full grown, or about twenty years
old when marked, we are safe in stating
the period of their lives as from sixty
TO seventy years. No doubt some in
dividuals may reach a century or over.
Unfortunately for science, it is COM
mon sport for the country urchin 20 en-
grave tortoises with dates varying from
forty to fifty years before the artists
birth. This, however, can almost al
ways be detected. for the inscription
becomes very faint after thirty years OF
rubbing over the ground. In fact, it
would seem impossible that an inscrip-
ton could last for a hundred years, as
the growth of the she'll and the con-
slant friction would probably obliterate
it.-A- G. Mayer, in Popular Science
