THE FARM AND FARMER.

An icehouso is necessary adjunct
to every creamery. It should be built
separate from the creamery. A house
20 feet long, 16 feet wide and 10 feet
high will hold about 100 tons of ice.
If an abundance of very cold water
is at hand less ice will be needed. It
is always best, however. to have plenty
of ice, and for the ordinary creamery
100 tons is safe quantity.
1t costs only about ten per cent. more
to keep q fresh winter cow than a dry
one, that is if the dry COW is kept as
we'll as she ought to be in order to do
well the following summer. Add to this
that the winter milk is worth on the
average 80 per cent. more than the
summer milk, and We see the superior
economy of making the cow do her best
work at that portion of the year when
it costs the most to keep her.
The old wells on many farms may be
regarded in the nature of an incum-
brance. If every man that sells farm
would reserve the we'll and remove it
with the personal property it would
often be fortunate for his successor. 1t
has always remained where it was first
located. Successive owners have rear
ranged the buildings but never dis
turbed the well. What was once a good
location may now be very poor one.
Maryland has law requiring tho
horticulturist of the state departments
station to inspect all nurseries in the
state once year and oftener if neces-
sary. The object is TO prevent the dis
semination of insect pests and diseases
upon nursery stock. The law prohibits
the sale of plants without certificate
from the inspector, under penalty of
500 for each tree, vine or plant so dis
posed of. Infected stock must be de-
stroycd. The law works well and it is
believed that other states will enact
siuilac legislation.
