1HE ICE SUPPLY.
why IL should Be Gathered from AbsO-
IuteIv puro water.


luteIy Puro Water.
1t is always desirable that ice should
be gathered from pure water, but when
IL is used for cooling water for drink
ing It is indispensable that IL be per-
fectly pure AS rule the water of n
pond is numerously charged with inn
purities, and ice cut from. stugnaut
pond, or one through which slow cur
rent only, moves, should be used with
caution. AS a rule, water in freezing
separates from its impurities, even
those which are held in solution. Thus,
salt water freezes into fresh ice, the
particles of water separating from the
particles of salt. This may easily be
made very plain. 1t is known that the
particles of water measure not more
than one-fve-hundred- millionth part of
an inch in diameter, and there is every
reason to believe they are round.
When any substance is dissolved in
water it is reduced to PARTICLES muck
smaller than the molecules of the wa
ter, and these rest in the spaces be-
tween the round bodies of which
mass of water consists. Anything held
in suspension in water merely lies
among the particles of it, being in
larger size. When water freezes, the
exceedingly small PARTICLES of which it
consists join together. and form solid
crystals. AS they have only attrac-
ton for each other and not for
other substances mixed with them,
these are pushed aside as the
needle-liike crystals are formed on the
surface, and these, being lighter than
the water, float on the surface. As
the ice becomes thicker by the gather
ing of the minute crystals, any impure
matter is forced aside and remains in
the unfrozen water. Thus the ice is
pure under these circumstances. But
if rain falls, or dew is deposited, or
snow covers the ice, or thin sheet of
water flows over it, and these freeze,
whatever impurities this water may
contain are of course retained and can
not escape to the water below, and ice
so formed is not pure and will contain
more or less impure matter as the
peculiar circumstances may happen to
be.
This explanation will help those
concerned to form a judgment in re-
gard to the quality of the ice they may
gather, and if pure ice cannot be pro.
cured it should be used outside of the
vessels in which anything to be eaten
cr drunk is cooled. When ice is taken
from it's packing IN the ice house and
used for cooling drinking water, it
should be washed clean, and as the
GOODNESS of it condenses the moisture of
the air upon it's surface, when ice is
used in room where sick persons are,
it should be washed; but it is better to
keep it elsewhere. No doubt mary in
furious germs exist in ice, and the
worst of them, the various fever and
diphtheria germs, are not killed by the
cold of freezing even during weeks or
months Hence, ice is always to be
used with as much carefulness in this
respect as water is or should be-

SLEDGE DOGS.
Some Things About Their Use and Train
ing in Arctic Regions.

Some Things About Their Use and Train
ing in Arctic Regions.
The most valuable domestic animal
in Kamtschatka is the dog. During
winter they are fed with dried fish
every morning and evening, but while
travelling they get nothing to eat, even
though they run for hours. Their
strength is wonderful. Generally no
more than five of them are harnessed
to sledge, and will drag with ease
three full-grown persons and sixty
pounds of luggage. When lightly
laden such sledge will travel from
thirty to forty miles in day over bad
roads and through the deep snow; on
even roads, from eighty to one hundred
and forty
During a snowstorm the dogs keep
their master warm, and will lie quiet
ly near him for hours, so that he has
merely to prevent the snow from COW
ering him too deeply and suffocating
him. The dogs are also excellent
weather prophets, for when, while
resting, they dig holes in the snow, u
storm may with certainty be expected.
The sledge dogs are trained to their
future service at very early period.
Soon after birth they are placed with
their mother in a deep pit, so as to see
neither man nor beast, and after hav-
ing been weaned they are again con-
demned TO solitary confinement in u
pit After six months they are at
tached to a sledge with other older
dogs, and being extremely shy they
run as fast as they can. On returning
home they are again confined in their
pit, where they remain until they are
perfectly trained and able to perform
long journey. Then, but not before,
they are allowed their summer liberty.
This severe education completely sours
their temper, and they constantly re-
main gloomy, shy, quarrelsome and
suspicious. Y. Advertiser.

The bronzy cutworm is quite subject
to attacks of natural (such as birds)
and parasitic enemies. Much more eff
fective than these, however, is bac-
terial disease This is a micrococcus
which Prof. Forbes has for some time
been studying, but which is not yet
named. We have been familiar with it
for many years, but we believe that
public attention was first called to it
by Prof. Osborn, in June, 1881. He
then stated that the diseased worms
would be found clinging to the stems
as high up as they could reach, their
bodies swollen to an unnatural size,
and in the later stages exceedingly soft
and ready to fall to pieces. This dis
ease has been noticed by us almost
every year since, but was particularly
prevalent in the summer of 1887, when,
on trip through Indiana and Ohio and
to the east, it was every where noticed.
1t was an extremely di t1icult, not to
say impossible thing in fact, to find
healthy worm. The hiding by-day in
stinct seems entirely abse mt with the
sick worms, which crawl laboriously
up the stalks of grass and there station
themselves, as described by Prof. Os-
born, to die and eventually to shrivel
up into unrecognizable objects. The
bronzy cutworm is also attacked by a
fungus disease which destroys large
numbers Orange Judd Farmer

A Glover Horse,

This story shows the intelligence of
a Kentucky roam, who was left in an
open paddock fastened by means of a
wooden hasp. This he learned in few
days to take out with his teeth and drop
on the ground, only to have it carefully
replaced by the stable boy, who dis
played wonderful intuition about dis
covering it. Finally, when it became
plain to his horseish understanding that
there was nothing to be gained by such
performance he tried the experiment
of carrying it over to the farther side of
the fence and letting it fall into neigh
boring yard. Now it SO happened that
his owner caught him in the act and re-
lentlessly went and fastened him in
again; then from a distance he watched
to see what would come next. AS he
had expected, the horse diligently
loosened the stick again, but now
comes the queer part of it-instead of
putting it in any of the old places he
gave one defiant snort and laboriously
set to work to eat it up. If his object
was the total annihilation of the hasp
there is no doubt he accomplished it
fully. All of which goes to prove what
splendid disregard of splinters and a
little ingenuity can accomplish. Chi

A TIMELY INVOCATION.
How the Parrot Slightly Disconnected a
Burglar

4
Burglar.
A maiden lady, who lives alone ex-
cept for her servants, owns fine par
rot which her nephew brought back
from a visit to South America The
bird was sent to a professional trainer
to be taught to speak, but when it was
returned it obstinately refused to utter u
word, and its mistress decided that the
teaching had been failure. Polly's
cage hung in a dressing-room which
adjoined it's mistress chamber and at
night the door between the two rooms
was left open.
One night burglar got into the
house, and after packing up the silver
below stairs, crept stealthily up to the
chamber of the lady, where he pro-
ceeded to gather together her jewelry.
He had got most of her valuables into
a handbag without awakening her,
when suddenly an unearthly voice
from the next room called out loud
enough to arouse the seven sleepers:
God bless our home! God bless our
home"
The burglar was so startled that he
dropped his dark lantern, and then, in
trying to recover, stumbled over a chair
and pitched headlong to the floor. The
lady, suddenly awakened, screamed at
the top of her voice, and the thief now
thoroughly demoralized, took flying
leap for the stairway outside the door
of the chamber. He slipped, fell and
broke his leg, so that he was easily
captured by the butler and coachman,
who had come to the rescue of their
mistress.
All this time the parrot had continued
to cry at the top of it's lungs:
God bless our home! God bless our
homer
Polly evidently felt that the time for
talking had come, and under the cir
cumstances her mistress could not well
get out of patience with her. although
she screamed this one sentence for the
rest of the night. Having begun to
talk, indeed, she continued to chatter
for the rest of her life, and was looked
upon as a remarkably accomplished
parrot. " outh's Companion.

A Pest That Is Frequently Mistaken for
the Army Worm.

A Pest That Is Frequently Mistaken for
the Army Worm.
DIR. c. V. Riley, in his last years re-
port of the division of entomology,
U. $. department of agriculture, calls
attention to the bronzy cutworm,
which he says is frequently mistaken
for the army worm. He found IL in
April, 1871, feeding in numbers upon
clover In Missouri, and later in the
same season upon bluegrass in other
parts of that state. The same year it
was found at Ithaca, N. ", and since
that time has been noted in different
places
The moths make their appearance
during the months of August and Sep
tember, the females laying eggs so that
the resultant larv@ will have time to
feed and pass through two or more
molts before winter. The eggs have
not yet been specifically observed, and
we know nothing yet of The exact
mode and place of oviposition. The
partly grown worms hibernate under
sticks, stones and other rubbish, and
upon the opening of spring come forth
and feed upon grass and other low
growing plants until they reach full
maturity. The time when they enter the
ground to pupate varies from the first
of June to the end of the same month,
and they remain in the ground some
time before Transforming and issue as
moths, as just stated, from the first of
August on. Though they feed in the
hot sun at midday, this is chiefly the
case with diseased worms, as normally
they are essentially nocturnal. In the
more southern states the species may
hibernate as a moth, as it is frequent
ly captured in the winter. The very
young larvae are bright green, with
bare indications of the stripes which
characterize the large ones. The full
grown larva is one of the largest of its
family, and is distinguished from all
others by the pale amber-colored head
and the brOnzy hue of the body, the

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

PARSLEY may be kept in condition
for use during the winter if covered
with box having a pane of glass in
the top
THE tons of leaves that can be had
with no cost but the ralling and haul
ing will be found valuable adjunct
to the keeping of stock in winter.
They not only serve to provide the best
of bedding, but may be added to the
manure heap with advantage.
A DITCH around the manure heap will
drain it of the surplus water, but a
large proportion of the fertilizing mat
ter will be carried away by the water,
and especially the soluble portions.
The proper mode of arresting loss is to
supply the heap with a $ufficiency of
absorbent material. Even dry earth is
better than nothing.
NEVER build fence unless you are
compelled to use one. Not only is a
fence costly, but it must be kept in re-
pair after it is made. In some sections
no fences are used, and the saving to
the farmers amounts to very large
sum. 1t is cheaper to fence the stock
in than to fence against the trespass of
your neighbours stock.
THREE is a demand and ready sale
for choice steers. Butchers have diff
ficulty in procuring what is termed
extra choice" cattle. There is plenty
of room for farmers to improve in the
size and quality of their cattle, and
there is a larger profit ready for those
who will turn their attention to the

BEWARE of trash. 1t is easier to ac-
cumulate great mass of worthless
stuff than it is to keep the tool house
and other outbuildings tidy. Very
often the opportunity arises for the
purchase at public sales of such ma
terial, and the farmer buys because the
article sells for little and may be of
use sometime. Money paid for such
articles is generally money lost
