FARM AND GARDEN,
GET READY EoR ICE.


Plan for Good Though Inexpensive Ioe-
To cheaply build good ice-house for
forty to fifty tons, make it high, so that
but little root Is required. The founda-
tion should be three feet below the
surface to avoid frost. Two stories ff-
teen by sixteen Is about right Double
doors must extend to the root. The
CORNER posts must be rabbeted as shown
to receive the matched board lining.
On the outside Of these posts a 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 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; tho middle one the paper
lining; strips Of plank are spiked over
tho four-by-four posts to which to nail
the covering, and the. inner line
is tho matched lining. OF course
tho plan can be modified to suit circum-
stances, tho main thing being to have

'Costlvoness In Sheep,

The number Of sheep that die from
costiveness is very large. The sheep 10
naturally costive, as any observer must
know from the character of the drop
pings It is because of the tendency Of
timothy hay to produce costiveness that
we so often advise against its use for
feeding sheep. It contains . great deal
of tannin. Straw has the same tendency,
and yet good straw is, such valuable
food that we advise its use, but with
such foods as oil meal. Timothy lay
we would not feed under any conditions
Those who have adopted ensilage will
have at hand very ready means to
keep the bowels of the sheep in order.
Those too, who have taken our. advice
and provided roots, will be ,similarly :
situated. II the breeding ewes are
costive it must not be expected that
they will go through the lamoing
season properly. At the same time we
must be careful not to feed too much
watery food in winter to the breeding
ewes.--Western Rura' ).

LACED IN THE BACK.

Most of tho Stylish Bodloes Now Made
Arc "Dono Up Behind"
A woman who has evidently given the
subject much thought, says: The fash.
ion of wearing frocks with the bodices
laced in the back is growing moro and
more popular, despite its inconvenience
to the woman who has no maid to do it
up and to undo it for her. Like nearly
overy thing else which is put forward
as novelty, this Is in reality only re.
vival. 1t is style which has REQUIRED
from time to time, and in fact has never
wholly disappeared from the fashions,
since the perfection OF fitting, ONLY
attainable in this way has kept 1t
in more or less favor always for
court and evening gowns. Just now
it is enjoying q wide popularity,
which confines it to no particular occa-
sion or fabric, and allows it to women
OF any age, provided they possess the
requisite of well-shaped back. For
those not happily endowed in this re-
speot the style is most unfortunate,
only serving to attract attention to and
accentuate their defects.
Speaking OF the back, it is notable
fact that there is nearly as much ex-
preston there as in the face. You can
divine q woman's disposition from the
curve Of her shoulders, the poise Of her
head. and the turn Of her waist Iheard

I have seen the plain black with them

Some Methods Of Destroying These !
tiferOus Birds.

Some Methods Of Destroying These Pcs
tiferous Birds.
The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends the following
treatment: Dissolve arseniate of soda
in warm water, at the rate OF an ounce
to pint; pour this upon as much wheat
as it will cover in vessel which can be
closed so as to prevent evaporation, and
allow it to soak at least twenty-four
hours. Dry the wheat so prepared, and
it is ready for use. Three kernels Of
this will kill. Winter is the best time
for operations. Other birds are then
absent, and sparrows are hungry,
alighting in flocks in the streets after
passing teams and along railroad tracks,
where grain is scattered from wagons
and cars. Here poison ed wheat may be
administered with wholesale destruc-
ton to them, and little danger Of harm
to any thing else. ....,....
If it lis found that the birds are too
wary to take the poisoned grain at first,
they can be led up to it by feeding them
at the same hour of the day for q few
days with sound grain as . preliminary.
When they are used to it, and of their
guard, throw down q little poisoned
wheat--not too much at once, but just
enough for them to eat before they
have found out that thsre Is any thing
wrong-for you can not catch them all
at tho one attempt By this means q
large percentage is got rid Of at one
time. Then begin with the sound grain
again, and after two or three days use
more poison. BY this means Of alter.
mating non-poisoned grain with the
ether article, sparrows may be killed
all through the winter months just as
fast as they, come: in from other places,
and in time be almost annihilatod.

DAIRY DOTS,

The following dairy items are taken
from the columns of tho It's
Ploughman:
MILK is an article whose merits and
peculiarities are little understood or
studied on thousands of farms. The
tons of poor butter made proves this.
THE quarrels and squabbles of rival
breeders Of fancy stock are beautiful to
see in case you ''stand from under. y
But they all have value If one looks at
it in the right way.
A TOWN where the farmers have no
creamery and don't want ono is a good
town to avoid when one wants farm
for homo. 1t is progressive farming
that is attractive-not farming Of the
Abrahamic sort
THE details as to the feeding of farm
animals should be the subject OF care
full study, and experiment (where ex'
pertinent is needed) on every farm.
Most feeding is the result Of habit and
is followed as such without q why or
wherefore in multitude of instances.
IT is not the cow whose milk gives
the most butter that is necessarily 1.-The
best butter cow" but rather the COW
who costs the least in proportion to the
yield. If to get certain yield of but
ter you must feed two or three times as
much in one case as in the other, the
cost becomes an important matter. In
comparing Jerseys and Holsteins this
matter is sometimes overlooked.
THE sale and breeding of very high
priced cattle is confined mainly to capi.
talists who manage q farm as a ''side
issue" and an amusement. The farmer
who lives by farming pure and simple
can not indulge in thousand-dollar cows
and bulls. And yet the study required
in the breeding Of fancy stock has been
of great value to farming in general
and is not to be discouraged.
A BUTTER test relating to the weigh,

made at William Crozier's farm, North.
port, N. Y. Three hundred pounds oi
milk from his registered Jerseys was
set, and yielded 105 pounds of cream.
This was churned twenty-three minutes,
duly worked, and gave thirty-seven

seven ounces of salt was added and
worked in, and the butter then weighed

we wish to thank the public for their
patronage and recognition Of our efforts
TO do our FIJI duty. H'e are fully con-
sciOus TINT it is to them that we owe the
unexpected success orr past year, in
which our business has been more than
doubled, and we can only regard ii as a
new evidence that our business maxims
are such as to cause our customers to
have confidence IN us and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
Pharmacist until they have become fully
assured Of the nature and extent of his
business principles, In our dealing with
the public we realize that the most scru-
pulous care and honesty are paramount
in Importance. If these are virtues in
al ordinary business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can be true Phar-
maciSt. The health, maybe the lite, OF
those dealing with the Apothecary de-
pends upon them. We consider it our
most sacred duty to shun authorizations
and spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar-
macy suffers no less than the public. The
evil IS not a new one, inauguratcd in late
Years; has existed as long as there
were men whose cupidity was stronger
than their sense Of Justice, and it will
doubtless continue as long as there may
he men with conceptions Of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
tor the money value of dross. There are
no other moral principles required for
a Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary orany other business.
lnwarcring integrity that remains unin-
fuenced BY the visions of gold along the
road Of questionable or dcccitfuI prac-
ticeS is the only foundation for success
that is worthy the name; ii is so in
every pursuit, and more particularly in
Pharmacy, where as a matter of neccS-
Sitr ii must be combined with constant
vigilance in all directions, so as TO secure
all possible safeguards.
These are the principles which we have

we trust our increasing success is due.
