DAIRY REFRIGERATOR.
A Small Building of Wood That II
Easily Put Up North of Amy
Large Farmhouse.

Plans for a small dairy refrigerator
for milk and butter from five cows
are wanted by j. r. B., who has Is
loads of ice and good cool well. lie
wants building of wood and located
north of large farmhouse, around
which is maple grove.
The plan illustrated herewith calls
for an addition of 6 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 dreamer which l
would set in the southwest corner. The
walls, ceiling and partitions should be
made by first sheeting up both sides OF
the studding with matched flooring,
adding to the sheathing on the inside
n layer of the best coal tar paper put
on in such away 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 bcveled SO as
to close practically tight.
The room to be used as refrigerator
is divided into two compartments, one
| 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 OH 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 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 grating

Skilled Men in Demand.
rhe demand for skilled buttermakers

The demand for skilled buttermakers
is expected to be greater this season
than ever before. A number of cream
erymen have been heard to express
themselves as being through expert
menting with poor, cheap help, as it
has proven very expensive, and they
will begin this season with competent
help. 1t is to be hoped that every cream
eryman will see the profits to be gained
by employing "a buttermaker skilled
in his art, and pay him good salary.
The buyers on our leading markets are
becoming more and more critical each
year, it is going to be the creameries
that turn out fancy butter every day
in the week that will be on top next
fall.-N. Y. Produce Review.

CHAPTER XIII.
OF TWO IMPORTANT INTERVIEW

OF TWO IMPORTANT INTERVIEWS.
The main cabin proved to be rather
a small place, as most of the range
athwartwise was taken up by sleeping
berths, but, all was well fitted and SUBJ
stantial. There were only a few pas
sengers in sight, and those. by their
pallor, recovering from seasickness;
but little way aft one cabin door was
aiar, and from within came lively
sound of voices; wherefore l might
guess where Mr.. Hope and Dona Car
men were.
Capt. Telatrava led us to two small
cabins on the starboard side, and told
us that they were at the service OF
Mr.. lynn, Capt. Sellinger and me, and
that he would give Mac Ivrach com
Portable berth 'tween-decks. He could
do no better, he explained, in the
rather crowded state of the ship
We were only too glad to fare so
well. and told him so, and, indeed, the
cabins looked wonderfully inviting
after the quarters we had quilted.
They were commcdious and clean, and
each was provided with two comforta-
bic hunks. Mac 1vrach was we'll con-
tent with the berth promised him, and
in fact told US afterward that he had
no reason to complain of any treat
ment that he received while on the
ship. Capt. Telatrava and Mac lvrach
being gone, we overhauled the cab
ms, and Mr.. lynn and l took one-t!e
larger-and Capt. Sellinger the other.
Capt. Telatrava appeared to have
bestirred himself, and the passengers
must have been generous for the
steward soon knocked and deposited
a great pile of clothing. from which
we very pleasedly proceeded to make
a selection. In my own case the ar

breeches of sort of yellow nankeen.

but the stir about there was over and
the door closed. AS I came out OF
the companion I found quite COM
rany of the passengers assembled, and
near them Mr.. Hope and Dona Carmen.
Mr. Hope looked little disturbed
and anxious, and l had no sooner APP

It may be interesting to note the fol-

which shows the total miles of track
east of Buffalo as 6,114s1.

some Of the Western lines have great

a number of sparsely settled States,
while the trackage of the New York

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN WORK.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The activity
shown by the war department during
the past few weeks in making arrange
ments for shipping large quantities of
ordnance, ammunition and stores to
the Philippines presages a campaign
of magnitude in the islands During
the present month ordnance supplies
and other equipments amounting in
value to several millions of dollars will
be shipped. Especially is this activity
significant in view of the fact that the
supplies in the military storehouses at
Manila and other points in the islands
are sufficient for the present and for
some time to come. The supplies which
are being sent now are for future use.
