Large Trees Ncar BUILDINGS.

1t is pleasant thing where there is
enough land TO warrant it to have one
or more high trees short distance
from the house, but not growing close
ly enough to cause it to be damp by
excluding air. Such tree, so long as it
continues alive and full of sap, will
make lightning rod unnecessary. The
live tree offers much better mark for
lightning than do the dry walls of a
building 1t will usually conduct a
stroke of lightning to the soil without
itself receiving any injury. Probably
where such trees are found near farm
buildings they have many times saved
them from the blast of lightning, while
the occupants of the building were un-
aware of the danger from which they
had escaped.

Many Washington (Wis.) farmers are
talking seriously of having a grain ele-

roads leading into Eau Claire are i'm

bad that they cannot haul load of any

In spite of doctors he grew constantly

Mr.. T. q. Peafse, Of Agricola, Alberta,
Canada, passed through Chicago recently en-
route to England. He paints in glowing
colors the advantages of Western Canada,

homes there, and those who, during the
past few years, have gone to that district
from the United States are doing remark
ably we'll They find the climate delightful,
and, although in very poor circumstances
when they arrived, they are mostly doing
well and have excellent farms, some of them
being able to loan money to the new set

As an example of what has been done BY
colonists this year, he says Hugh Irvine,
who has been in the country five years,
threshed 1920 bushels of wheat and received
Il cents per bushe for it. James Fitzgerald
raised 5000 bushels in the fourth year of his
settlement, while James Atkinson had q
crop of $500 bushels. These men started

HELD AN ACCIDENT POLICY.
A Cyclists Disgust at Not Being Hurt
in Collision,

This is the story of a somewhat unusual
accident. 1t happened on the Conduit road
one evening early in the fall, and the man
who told me about it was an eyewitness.
1t is singularly appropriate, by the way,
that he should be an eyewitness, for he is
an oculist by profession. A man on BIZ
cycle was scorching cheerily along on the way
to town, when suddenly there doomed up
out of the darkness in front of him heavy
wagon and team headed straight for him.
There was no time to turn out. The wheel
crashed into the wagon pole, and the rider
was thrown completely over the horses, fall
ing between them and the wagon. The ocu-
list ran to the rescue, expecting to see a
limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hui
mainly. Instead, he saw a kicking and
swearing person who was apparently unin.
jured. The bicycle was Chinese puzzle of
twisted wire.
Are you hurt?" asked the oculist.
The swearing person picked himself up
and stopped swearing. He gazed at what
had once been fair young bicycle.
Hurt" he said in tone of deepest dis.
gust. Hurt? Me? Of course | amt hurt.

DAIRY ICE SUPPLY.
How to Construct nm Ice House in the
Corner of n Barn.


Corner of n Barn.
The use of ice is absolutely necessary
in summer dairy work; and the extern
sion of the dairy industry is impeded
in many cases by lack of ice for sue
cessful work. The idea that a costly
icehouse is requisite for the profitable
storage of ice, is not borne out by those
who have improvised storage at COM
paratively trifing expense. A corner
in the barn can be adapted by any farm
er at all handy with tools, at cost
exceedingly small when compared with
the advantages which a liberal sup
ply of ice during the heated season, wild
confer.
There are few localities where brook
or stream cannot be temporarily
damned or a piece of adjacent land
flooded so as to afford a sufficient depth
for freezing. Where ice is to be used
for any other than cooling or refriger-
ating purposes the water must, of
course, be pure, as ice cannot be purer
