lumber and the inside lining Of good
boards, the space between them being
closely filed with packing material; or
If this is scarce, air-preef Starred paper
may be substituted, with care to make
all joints perfectly tight. Rafters Of AKA
scantling support the roof which
should be one quarter pitch, and made
of either boards, shingles or asbestos
roofing, but it must be perfectly water
tight and should have broad caves to
protect the sides as much as possible.
If both the roof and the sides are
painted white it will save much melt
ing of the ice. A large ventilator must
be provided in the roof that the air
passing over the packing material may
remove any moisture which collects
upon it. A door should be placed in
one or both ends and either made
double and packed like the walls and
fitted perfectly to the opening, or it
may be of but one thickness and when
filing boards can be laid across the
inside Of doorway, the space between
them and the door being packed with
bundles of straw. The packing mate
rial should be at least one foot thick at
the bottom and sides and two feet
thick on top. Hardwood sawdust is
best, but leaves, cut straw or chaff
answer very well. By remembering
that a mass Of ice 10 feet square gives
about 5000 pounds for each foot in
height, and that by using 100 pounds
daily this mass will last about two
months, each can determine the size of
the house he should construct Our
illustration shows a section of the
house described and the position Of the
Ice, packing. etc. Orange Judd Farmer.

RURAL BREviTiEs.

IT Is bad policy in transplanting trees
to ,vasy the conditions too much. II q
tree has grown in the thick foresr, shell
tered from sun and cold and wind by
other trees. it can hardly be depended
on to do well in an open place. II such
q tree Is used great care must be taken
to protect it
FALLow blowing is thought by many
to be labor wasted; but this is great
mistake. By continued experiments it
is safe to estimate an average increase
of ten per cent in yield. This you can
count as clear gain, as yon have suffi-
GENTLY enriched the land by plo wing
under the weeds and grass to pay yon
well for your labor.
IT Is better to pillow under all green
matter before frost than to allow It to
die and dry. Green manure decomposes
easily, but plants that have become dry
sometimes remain in the ground for a
long time before decomposing. It is
also much better to pillow in the fall. IL
the land is heavy, in order to allow the
frost to assist in pulverizing the soil.
Al HoBTIcULrURIsT has informed the
American Field Of Chicago that the
castor-oi plantis universally detested
by the animal world, and no beast, bird
or reptile will touch that plant Goats,
horses, army worms, locusts and even
tobacco worms will not touch it. The
castor-oil plant appears to be rank
poison to all members of the animal
kingdom.
