WISCONSIN BUILDING.
To Be Erected on the Exposition
Grounds in Omaha.
Money for the Structure Comes from
Private Subscriptions-Desc
ton of the Building Per-
,anncI of Commission.

The WISCONSIN state building at the
Trans-Mississippi and International ex
position, TO be held at Omaha from June
] TO November I, 1898, is one of the
efforts of public spirit in celebration OF
the fiftieth anniversary of the admis-
sion of the Badger state into the union.
The building will be constructed with
funds raised entirely by private sub
scription and viii cost from $4,000 to
100000, including maintenance. The
raising of the slate building fund. and
the general stimulation of interest on
the part of Wisconsin people in the
great Trans Mississippi exposition, has
been undertaken by state commission
appointed by Gov. Scofield. of which eN-
Mayor John &. Koch, of Milwaukee, is
chairman. The business men and man
ufacturers OF the city of Milwaukee
have already contributed one half of
the amount necessary TO erect and
maintain the state building. and re
sponses TO circulars addressed to we'll
to-do citizens in other parts of the
state indicate that all the funds re-
qnired will easily be raised, Several
county boards have made county APP
preparations for this purpose.
Classic in style.
Architecturally the Wisconsin build
ing is 4 pleasing type of the classic
style. The architrave of the pediment
supported by four immense fluted Cor
inthian columns forms the entrance OF
the edifice. The angles of the building
are hankcd on both sides by pilasters of
the Corinthian order which on the side
walls are doubled, with about eight
feet of wall space between. Just be
meath the corncc and extending along
the wall between the inner pilasters,
with depth of five or six feet, will be
frcscoed frieze pcturing some of the
more important features of Wisconsin's
history. Almost the entire interior is
embraced in one large space, open in its
center to the roof, and lighted through
a low dome. An aquarium, with its
grotto fountain, will occupy the center
of the main floor space.

1t has been claimed by some that
there is no more loss of fat in handling
rich milk than in making up medium
or poor milk. The results Of three years
experiments at the Ontario agricul-
tural college lead conclusively TO the
opinion that the whey from milk rich
in butter-fat contains higher percent
age of fat than does the whey from
medium or poor milk. Not only is the
percentage of fat in the whey higher
but the loss OF fat originally in the milk
is greater per 100 pounds OF cured

ICE HOUSE; IN CORNER or BARN.
than the source from which it is taken.
If it be used for cooling purposes only,
the ice taken from any reasonably clear
stream or pond can be made available.
Where two or more farmers live within
short distance of each other, the CO.
operative plan of building an icehouse
sufficiently large for ALL will be found
cheaper and more advantageous than
building singly.
The accompanying cut gives an idea
for an ice house in a barn, and few
hints on points necessary TO be observed
in its construction, etc, will be use
full: For these hints we are indebted
to an article in the report of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture, 1896. On
farm with a dairy of ten cows, the
consumption, including a supply for
household use, would amount tosabout
300 pounds daily; the shrinkage
amounts to 40 per cent. ON an average;
and the period during which ice is nee
essarN in ordinary years, about $50 days.
This viii ncccssitate a supply of Is tons
OF ice, to store which space OF 12 feet
square and ten feet high will be neces-
sary. If a smaller daily supply is re-
quired, the size of the space will be
proportionately reduced. In building
an icehouse, the chief points to be con-
sidered are the exclusion of air from
under or around the body of ice; proper
ventilation over the ice, and proper sur
face draining around the icehouse. Any
little crack that admits of the inflow of
warm air will play havoc with a body
Of ice. Hence waterproof paper should
interline the walls, 50 as TO exclude
every possible chance for the admission
Of a current of air. If there be too
much sawdust placed around ice it is
liable to ferment and develop heat to
such an extent as to melt the ice. Four
inches of sawdust or chaff is sufficient
to place under the ice. and eight inches
is sufficient on the sides of a house
with single wall, and four inches in
case OF n twin wall
4 twin wall is made by boxing the
studding on both plates and sills, so
that they shall alternate with each
other. Two by six may be used, and
they may be placed two feet apart; 12-
inch boards will answer for plates and
sills. This permits each studding to
project two inches past the center of
the wall and prevents the air current
from setting. The studding must be
papered with Waterproof paper and
then ceiled.-Journal of Agriculture.
