DAIRY REFRIGERATOR.
A small Building of Wood That Il
Easily Put Up North of Any
Large Farmhouse.

Plans for a small d.iry refrigerator
for milk and butter from five cows
are wanted by j. Il. b., who has Ii
loads of ice and good cool well. He
wants building of wood and located
north of large farmhouse, around
which is maple grove. c
The plan illustrated herewith calls
for an addition Of by II feet on the
north end of the house. Across one end
of the room thus made, see Fig. 2, is par
titioned the refrigerator proper, the
rest of the room being used as milk
room. This will give room to work
around the cabinet creamer which |
would set in the southwest corner. The
walls, ceiling and partitions should be
made by first sheeting up both sides oI
the studding with matched flooring,
adding to the sheathing on the inside
layer of the best coal tar paper put
on in such a way that the joints match
at the studding. then fur out on the
inside and add another sheeting OF
matched flooring and building paper
fur out once more, and add third and
last sheeting of matched flooring. This
gives three dead air spaces. The doors
should be built up in the same way as
the walls and the edges beyeled so as
to close practically tight.
The room to be used as refrigerator
is divided into two compartments, ono
for ice and the other for storage. The
icebox is 2h feet square, the partition
between it and the storage is made by
setting two by four studding six inches
apart and sheeting up on the storage
side from the bottom of the ice chest
within four inches Of the ceiling. The
openings thus left at the bottom and
the top furnish a means for circulation
of the air, which will pass into the top
of the ice box from the storage room,
where it has become warm, while the
cold air from the ice passes out below
to take it's place. The bottom of the
ice chest should be up some 20 inches
from the floor, and consist of galvan-
lied iron drip-pan, resting on a grating

woodpecIscr Is Mans AIIy.

One of the birds which winters in
our northern climates is the wood
pecller, which finds its fayorite food
as easily in cold weather as in warm.
1t is not often seen except by those
who go into the forests and evergreen
swamps, where it takes refuge during
the severest weather. Its sharp peck,
peck on the trunk of partly decayed
tree is generally rewarded by taste
of the grub that did the mischief, and
which the woodpecker greedily devours.
The woodpecker is daring pillager on
the cherry trees when this fruit is ripe.
But after his good work in destroying
injurious grubs during winter nobody
should refuse him few cherries.

proper Manuring Of Trees.

The mistake of many people in ma
nuring trees is to place the fertilizer as
near the trunk as possible. That is very
much like feeding man held in up
right position by placing the food near
his feet. More frequently, however, the
manure is spread as far as the branches
extend from the trunk. The feeding
roots of large trees are mainly much
farther from their trunk than their
branches. Bury some dead animal three
or even four rods from an apple tree
in full bearing, and within year or
two roots will extend this distance and
find the fertilizer they need. In most
orchards tree roots interlace each other,
and this crowding is one. reason why
the trees are so often unproductive. 1T
requires extra high feeding in such
cases to keep the trees vigorous enough
to be fruitful. If every other tree were
cut out the result in many cases would
be more and better fruit than now on
those left standing.-Prairie Farmer.

PRACTICAL PouItrr Points.

At farmers institute in Iowa a lady
read an essay telling how she made
profit of $500 annually from her flock
of about rs hens. In the discussion
that followed, one man, who said he
could not spare time from taking care
Of his cornfeld one year to build coops
for the chickens, admitted that the
chickens and eggs his wife sold brought
in more money than his corn crop. An
other woman, who had sold $420 worth
of poultry to the local poultry dresser
where she lived, said that the men could
talk poultry when the ground was
frozen five feet deep, but when spring
comes they will forget it all and think
of nothing but corn and hogs, more

Advantage of Grass.

Land which is in grass is protected
from loss of plant food by teaching,
washing or oxydation which occurs in
bare plowed fslSs so left between crops.
When animals are pastured on land, the
soil fertility is drawn upon to the ex.
tent o. nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash required to build and sustain the
body of the animal. But this is com.
paratiyely small, and If the manure
made is returned to the land and con-
centrated feeds are fed, there may be
an actual gain in fertility. Also, if the
grass consists OF clover or other leg.

from the air, there will be a gain IL

TWO RARE BOOKS

Added to the New York City Library
One is an Old Edition Of John Wes-

Two rare boo; IS have been presented
to the New York public library by
Trustee Alexander Maitland. The more
important is John Wesley's first hymn

Prior to the discovery of this little
book the supposedly earliest Wesley
collection was an edition-also rare

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.
The Moral Aspect of Poor Roads
AmusinEly Discussed by n New
York Newspaper.

OF late years we have been hearing
but one side of the roads question, till
the world has come to think that there
is but one side. While only bold man
would say that poor roads are better
than good roads, something is to be
said in their favor, and some sympathy
is due those despised and rural persons
that do not join in the general pean
in favor of good roads. Not that one
would for a moment oppose the pres
ent agitation for them, any more than
one would oppose Sunday schools.
Both are commendable; yet even as
one would not wish this world one
large Sunday school, so one should be
moderate in ones desire for faultless
highways.
Imagine what it would be to have
roads eliminated from our calcula-
tions. The world would lose all those
ecstatic thrills it now experiences in
watching the clay or loan quagmires
change, drop by drop, back into the
delightful roads they can be at times.
Perfect roads would be as dull as the
ideal social state.
In a more important way humanity
would lose. Good roads, In few short
years, would sap the moral fiber which
man has been cultivating through ages.
Time may come when we shall not need
the ethical stimulus of poor roads, but
it is far off. The Yankee gains the
sharpness ahd doggedness of the gran
ite he daily drives over. The Virginian
has superinposed on his natural i'm
petuosity, patience and endurance
from that red clay of his, which no
mere impetuosity can conquer. The
Floridian develops his character
through his calming sand; the Illi-
noisan from his bottomless black mud.
And finally-if more argument be
needed-poor roads restrain the moto-
cycle to its native lair of the noisome
city, and keep it from defiling the
beautiful rural districts.--N. Y, Com
mercial Advertiser
