The Ice HnrNesf.

Now that the seasons crops have been
harvested and the rush of work will soon
be over. the average farmer, and espe-
cially the dairyman, can make no better
use Of his time than to prepare room
for the storage Of fee. If an ice house
can be built so much the better but
where the outlay must be small the
present is a good time to decide in what
portion OF the farm buildings place for
the storage of this necessity can best
be made. The modern dairyman must
have ice in connection with the present
methods of setting milk for cream. If
the orchardist is TO take advantage of
markets he also should have a storage
house store room in which to carry
over his fruits until market prices are
satisfactory.
If in any Of the farm buildings a little
room can be found it should be boarded
up with two thicknesses and the space
between filed with sawdust or some dry
packing material. A door should be pro-
Vided at the top of the room through
which To put the ice and a good big pile
Of clean sawdust should be gotten ready
near by for use when the ice cutting sea-
son sets in. Many farmers besides using
this crop on the farm TO a great advant-
age would be able to dispose Of some Of
IL TO neighbOring hotels and thus derive
a little additional income.
In most towns a little ice, such as is
referred to for private ice house, can
be obtained for the cutting, thus the only
expense need be the labor of providing
the storage room and the harvesting Of
the crop. While it is little early in the
season. yet il is none too early 10 think
of these things. and we would advise
every farmer who wishes the luxury Of
a good living TO consider this as among
the necessary seasons work.-Farm and

Prennrinrn Rntinn.

The first point of Importance in the
preparation Of a ration, bulk and essen
tial nutrients being present, is palata-
bility. According to Prof. voorhees, the
food must be of such a character as to
induce a maximum consumption of
actual nutrients, because profit in feed
ing for the production Of milk flesh or
fat, lies in the excess of feed consumed
over that necessary to maintain life.
Cornstaiks and straw in their original
state are not readily and completely
eaten by animals. TO insure the mini
mum waste they must be cut, and the
coarser and finer portions intimately
mixed, and feeds OF known relish added.
In England, where great progress has
been made in feeding methods. the cut
hay, straw and other coarse products
are mixed with sliced roots, the feeds
added, the whole mass thoroughly mixed
and allowed to remain some time be-
fore feeding. This method doubtless
adds TO both the palatability and diges-
tibility Of the foods and it is to be
recommended where circumstances per
nit This matter of preparation, how
ever, gives rise to the question, Will IL
pay farmers to invest in machinery for
this purpose? For dairy farmers, there
can be no question as TO the ACCESSIBILITY
of such a course since in feeding corn
stalks, whole, in the usual manner, from
one-third to one-half of the food con-
tanned in them is wasted. Where few
animals are kept, and simple mainten-
ance is desired IL this is ever desirable
except in the case Of work horses in
winter. it becomes a question worthy OF
some consideration though an increase
OF feed equivalent to two or three tons
Of hay at present prices would pay Cor a
good fodder cutter; one good cutter
might serve. too. for several farmers in
q neighborhOod until the usefulness Of
the cutter was thoroughly tested.

"LucEr with Chickens.

Fred Grundy says that some men pro-
fess TO be experts in poultry culture
and TO have conducted experiments that
have settled great questions and solved
deep problems, when in fact they don't

conducted with two or three chickens
in the attic or in 6 by back yard are
not worth a snap to practical poultry

practical poultry culture she can give
you more practical pointers in five min
utes than they can in a year. Usually
she has a strain of very fine fowls

ton for years She knows a good bird
soon as she sees IL, and she will

The Rreedinr FIocll.

A successful flocE-master, Stephen
Powers, says that a great many of the
characteristics of a good ram should
also be sought in the eve. The most
obvious point of difference, of course,
is determined and accentuated by the
sexual functions. We seek in a ram a
massive and powerful front, thick fore
quarters, a cluster OF voluminous folds
about the neck: but the eve should be. if
anything, heavier in the headquarters,
because these are compelled TO carry the
burdens and resist the strain of the great
processes of reproduction and lactation.
Many excellent practical breeders seek
what they denOminate a pony sheep"
but L have seldom attained the best re-
suits with shOTt-legged ewes. 1t is
seldom that the highest beauty of form
is found united To superior breeding
qualities-unless, indeed, long practical
training has taught US to regard as the
most comedy, that figure which is found
to be the best adapted to successfully

ram in full fleece should have an almost
perpendicular drop from the rump 10 the
ground; be thick through the heart:
with a girth just back of the shoulders
about equal TO that just in front of the
hind legs. But in the eve there may be
tolerated a slight departure from the
perpendicular, caused by a little less
fullness in the ham; while the rear girth
should be from an eighth to a sixth
greater than the forward In the best

DehorninE Calves.

A correspondent Of an eastern jour
nal writes:
IT farmers wish to get rid of the
horns and will begin with the calf, they
can do it without cutting at all. as a
single application of crude potash over
the spot where the horns can be felt
under the skin when the calf is three or
four weeks old will kill them entirely

ton Of potash, sent out by the Western

the stick potash Is TO get astride the

Cement Floors.

any shape desired. Remove the loose

ground or hard pan, and fill up with
sandstone a foot or more in depth Level
the top by breaking the stone quite fine

coat should be made just thick enough

Although any farmer can, with a little
practice, make a good cement floor, IL

Good Roads.

1t is a mistaken idea that an under
drain laid in the middle Of the road will
drain the surface of the road. The
travel and the action Of the water fall
ing upon the road will so effectually
cover the surface that no water on the
road will find its way down to the drain
thus laid. To the contrary, the horse
tracks and Tuts will hold water like
earthen vessels until it is removed by
evaporation or otherwise. Roads grav-
eled and drained as proposed will cost
from $500 to $500 Il mile, but when done
they will be good roads for eleven
months and commercially passable the
remainder of the year with little time
~ repair. Where gravel and stone are
not TO be had at a reasonable cost we
know of no improvement so satisfactory
in all respects as the roads well graded
and sufficiently drained. Where gravel
or broken stone can be had it will be

BLOODY RIOT ABROAD.
Soldiers Fire Into II Mob killing "a
Number--THx Collectors Fate.

ROME. Dec. 1S.-The additional details
of the riots at Girardenello have been re
ceived. The mob began their demonstra-
lions by marching through the streets
shouting Down with taxes and Long
live socialism" and inJermingling their
cries with cheers for the king and queen.
Late IN the day sub-Lieutenant Cimino
arrived with fifteen soldiers. He ordered
his men 10 fix bayonets. Either his order
was misunderstood or the soldiers were
eXasperated beyond control One of the
soldiers raised his rife and fired. His eX-
ample was followed by six others. Eight
of the rioters fell dead and fourteen others
were wounded. The explanation OF this
great havoc is that the rifles were loaded
with buckshot.
A scene of the widest confusion ensued
The mob, which had scattered after the
firing. gathered again, and directed their
fury against the tax collector. They forced
the doors and attacked the collector and
his wife. both OF whom were killed with
axes. Their bodies still warm and bleed
ing, were dragged into the street and ter
Tibly mutilated by the peasants, who acted
like mad. The heads OF their victims were
cut OF and stuck on pixies and carried
through the streets, followed by the crowd
dragging with them the bodies of the
murdered couple. The village is now in
charge Of a detachment of cavalry.
