rain, and it will prove very satisfactory.
Our readers remember an article by one
of our contributors some months ago, in
which he related his experience in keep
ing ice in an old barn. He first made a
cooling room in the center of the barn
by standing up several heavy posts and
mailing them in position with joists, and
then he filled the structure around and
over the cooling room.
Handsome profits may often be de-
rived by putting up quantity of ice
and selling it to some dealer or creamery
in hot weather. Many are quietly maxi
ing money by putting up large guam
tity of ice each winter in some cheap
structure and using it to retard the
fruit they raise and buy until prices
have advanced. Apples and. pears
furnish an especial field for this depart
ment of business. The low price Of
labor in winter is also an argument in
favor of securing the ice crop.
Where it is desirable to put money
into retarding house one can be built
on the following plan and perhaps some
reader in building can improve upon this.
The general principles, however, must
be adhered to. Three things must be
kept in mind: They are drainage, good
ventilation above and protection from
contact with the outside weather by q
number of dead-air spaces or heavily
packed partition walls. In the left
hand upper corner Of the engraving the
sawdust packing is shown by three lines
which reach to it on top of the ice and
on each side of dead-air space. This
building is arranged for storing apples,
etc., and all the ice is to be taken in
above the storage room.
1t is presumably built upon the side
Of lake or pond, and the ice is run up
an incline by power when the ice cham
ber is being filed. The floor of this
structure is cement. Equally good floors
can be made of cinders, coarse gravel,
rammed clay or lime mortar.
If the building is situated high
enough the storage-room can be placed
In the basement. In this case the
structure need not be 80 high and the

Potash in Fruit Culture.

The effect of potash is to perfect the
pollen and make a perfectly pollenized
fruit that will resist cold and frosty
weather far better than one poorly poll
lenized. At least this has been con-
frmed in the experience Of Eli Minch,
who says: my present peach crop
shows the value of potash in making q
more perfectly set fruit, being the most
promising in my section, where the
peach this year is almost q failure from
cold, wet and unfavorable weather. The
liberal "sc Of potash is, as have long
held. in many cases preventive of the
yellows and restorative for many dis
eased trees that show the symptoms Of
the so-called yellows. Soils naturally
deficient in potash should nsvc an an
nual broadcast application of at least
four hundred pounds OF muriate OF
potash per acre."-Western Rural.

Give Him the Medal.

The Dexter (Me.) Gazette claims to
have discovered one of the meanest
men of the age. He took piece of land
of poor widow to plant on halves.
The land was planted to potatoes, and
the crop was O good one. This mean
man came by night, dug into the sides
of the hills and removed from each all
the tubers with the exception of a few
Struggling ones. This left the tops
flourishing apparently as vigorously
as ever. At the ''ofiicial digging" the
widow was sadly disappointed at the
paucity of the crop, and when the po-
tatoes were divided her portion was a
mite" indeed. 1t surely is to be
hoped that this man will long con-
tinue to hold the championship uncon-
tested on this record.

GET REApY For ICE.

Every Farmer should Have an Ice-Houss
Some of Its Advar aages.
Regret in summer, which is indulged
In by too many because no ice was
packed in winter, can be avoided by
making an ice-house in time. In the
North, where ice can be procured so
easily, IL is extravagant no. to pack 1t
for summer use and profit. Especially
is this true when it is remembered how
cheaply ice can be kept, and that it re-
quires no special building. Any kind of

cost will be lessened. 1t is the practice
in some localities to place shallow bins
or shelves with slight side pieces on
their edges in tiers through the storage
room. Space should be left under such
bins for cats to drive out or destroy all
vermin. This is good season of the year
to construct such building, and any
farmer who provides himself with this
convenience will never regret it; on the
contrary, he will feel amply repaid for
any time and money he may have laid
out.-Farm and Home.

What Cheese Makers Want.

The aim of the cheese maker should
be to get out of 100 pounds of average

good for nothing unless the whey Is
fed while it is sweet. The cheese maker
saves little over pounds of the solids,
and retains about 81 pounds of water,
so that when cured and portion of the
water has dried out he has 10 pounds of
cheese, composed of q water, a fat and
h Gaseous and mineral matter Rich
milk may do better, and poor milk
worse. II the cheese sells for cents a
pound, it means 20 cents gross for 100
pounds Of milk. Out of this a dairy
man must pay the cost of making and
marketing and make up any loss.-Or-

Nobility.

A generous man expects to be i'm
posed upon; but the satisfaction of re-
lieving one deserving sufferer com
pensates for the modification of being
swindled by nine imposters. A sym
pathetic man often ''slops over, in the
Judgment of cold, cautious men. and
trusts men that were not worthy to
be trusted.
Henry Ward Beecher was once crit
icised for his sympathetic trustfulness
by a friend who called it "gush," and
shopping over" He replied:
Il suppose / do slop over sometimes.

slops over. But II man is full of
feeling, up to the very brim, how is
he going to carry himself without
spilling Over2"
His father, DR.. Lyman Beecher, had
befriended man who turned against
him, and acted very meanly. One day
the father, having heard of the man s
meanness, came home very much ex-
cited. Instead of "blowing out" he
raised his hand, and bringing it down
emphatically but slowly, said:
"Well, when / have acted honor
ably toward a man, and he goes away
and acts meanly toward me, / am
never sorry that I acted honorably to-
ward him "-Youth's Companion.

with eager hope over the smoking battlefield
for Mea1e's whole line to burst from the hills
on the heels of this disaster, and confidently
hoped that the sun would set on q victory that
would bring an early doom to the Confederacy.
But the blow which Lee expected and dreaded,
aud for which the captives prayed, did not do
sCend, though the magnificent Sixth Corps
now comparatively fresh and rested, and with
John Sedgwick for q leader, was ready and

ness as ever Wellington uttered for the coming
of " BluChor or night" at Waterloo. But the
protecting mask of night was at last drawn
over the beaten host. Gettysburg was over,
and death had gathered in sire and son in its
cruel and crimson harvest.
With the courage of despair the Tebel army
spent the bitter night in reforming, and its
cumbrous train of wagons, II miles in length,
began its laborious journey through mountain
passes into the Cumberland Valley, bearing las
bleeding, shrieking aud CHASTITY freight of vic

On the 4th Of July the infantry and artillery,
with the Onion prisoners, followed through n
torrent Of rain that increased hourly IN vo-
leuce descending in drowning sheets that
turned the mountain roads into rivers and the
glens into lakes.
