Freezing Mixtures for Use Where Ice is
Scarce.
The State chemist of Victoria, S. E.
Australia, gives some interesting infor-
nation about cooling milk by the use of
ammonia, in way similar to that by
which ice is manufactured. He says:
For cooling the milk various appli-
ances are in use.
Where the operations are on fairly
large scale, small ice machine will be
found most suitable and economical
Ice machines capable of producing 400
pounds of ice daily, at an estimated cost
of six shillings per diem, are now being
placed on the Melbourne market Such
machines could easily be used on large
farms, and would probably be found
we'll suited for district milk and dairy
factories. The carts bringing the milk
to the factories could take back with
them their daily supply of ice.
Where ice is not procurable and there
is not sufficient supply of cold water
for cooling purposes, perhaps no simpler
and cheaper means can be adopted than
freezing mixtures" If crystals of am
moniac nitrate and chloride be dissolved
by gentle stirring in water, in the fol-
lowing proportions, six and two-thirds
pounds of ammoniac nitrate; three and
one-third pounds ammonia chloride; ten
pounds lone gallon) of water, the tenn
perature of the mixture will quickly
fail fifty-one degrees Farenhcit Thus
If the temperature of the water was
originally seventyfive Degrees Faren-
heit, it would, after a solution of the
salts, fall twenty-four degrees, Faren-
heit, or eight degrees below freezing
point If a long, narrow tin containing
such solution be stirred about in a
cream can, it will in few minutes re-
duce the cream to the required temper
allure. The cooling salts, having been
once dissolved, may be re-obtained for
further use by evaporating the solution
to dryness. The evaporation may be in
open, shallow pans with fire, or even
the sun and hot wind may be sufficient
Or it may be conveniently done in old
kerosene tins cut in half lengthwise.
If fire be used for evaporation itshould
oe gentle fire, and the solution should
not 90 more IMAM simmer, OCn6rW1S0
there may be loss from splashing.
The solution should evaporate down
until, on dipping stick or spoon into it,
the drop of liquid so obtained rapidly
.olidifed on cooling. The evaporating
vessel should be removed from the fire
and the solution allowed to cool. 1t will
solidify into a granular mass, which
may be easily dug out with a strong
knife, and should be broken up into
Jumps about the size of walnut and
spread out in the sun or in a warm, dry
place until thoroughly dry 1t is import
ant to make perfectly dry, for if at all
moist the cooling qualities of the salts
are greatly diminished. If the evapor
ating and drying be carefully conducted,
they will be practically no loss of salts,
and the same quantity will serve in
definitely. 1t is as we'll to have two or

whole is fastened together by two two
inch pins on each end passing through
the rave, bench and runner, and firmly
wedged at both ends. A notch is cut in
the top of the bench at the end two

rapidly the development of new terri
tory follows public knowledge of its
resources in these go-ahead days. A
given portion of country may be seem
ingly a bowling wilderness to-day, yet
twelve months hence the hardy pioneers
of settlement will be firmly established
in it, and five years hence the wilder
ness is gone forever, transformed into
an agricultural region of inestimable
value.
This story has been told over and
over again upon the American CONT
nent, and is now being repeated once
more upon the great fertile prairies of
Western Canada, where the millions of
acres of valuable lands open for settle
ment are attracting an ever-increasing
army of colonists from every civilized
portion of the Globe.
Only few years ago the prairies of
Western Canada were simply vast
game range, yet to-day towns, villages,
settlements, farms and ranches are dot
ted all over what is unquestionably one
of the very finest agricultural sections
of this continent. The prairie region
of Canada extends from the eastern
boundary of Manitoba westward to the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, a
distance, roughly speaking, of about one
thousand miles. Within this vast ex-
panse are comprised the great wheat
province of Manitoba, the fat lands of
Assiniboia and the noble pastures of
Alberta, offering homes to all who
choose to claim them, and unrivalled
facilities for following every branch of
agriculture with profit. The official
crop returns for 1890 are splendid testi-
mony of the capabilities of these natur-
al grain fields and pastures, and no
matter whether the newcomer prefers
horse, cattle or sheep raising, wheat
growing, mixed or dairy farming, he
can easily find land admirably suited
to his purpose within these broad limits
and simply for the trouble of selecting
for himself what appears to be the most
desirable locality.

themselves, and, doubtless, with
further notion on the part Of all partic-
ipants and victims of gaining great cred
it for bravery, fortitude and lofty man
hood. We witnessed the large circular
encampment not many miles from the
Rosebud agency, and we did every
thing we could to discourage the In
dams from pushing on to the cruel
operations. In fact, the chiefs of bands
who were represented there promised
with emphasis that they would not al
low the former terrible decorations to
be repeated. Still, they have been re-
peated since that time by the wilder
portions of the Sioux nation.
At the Pine Ridge agency, then under
Agent McGillicuddy, good order and
system prevailed. He had an Indian
police of perhaps thirty selected Indian
men. They wore the soldiers blue
blouse, and were armed and organized
as company.
Red Cloud at that time appeared to
affairs. There was farming, and there
were some schools, but the main civil
izing process appeared in 1885 to be the
use of horses and wagons, with Indian
drivers hauling their supplies for over
12O miles of roadway from the nearest
depot to the agency. The Indians were
delighted with their pay for this trans
portation, and with the incipient indie
pendence which it afforded them.
The idea of the Indian rising from the
dead has been taught by the ''tonats,"
or medicine men, for long time. They
look forward to the time when the In
dams will rise from the grave, and
when the white men, who have perse-
cuted them, will be blotted out with
great hope and great enthusiasm. 1t is
said that the Piute Indian came over a
