DAIRY REFRIGERATOR.
A Small Building of Wood That Is
Easily Put Up North of Any
Large Farmhouse.

Plans for a small dairy refrigerator
for milk and butter from five cows
are wanted by j. L. B., who has 10
loads of ice and a good cool well. lie
wants a building of wood and located
north of a large farmhouse, around
which is a maple grove.
The plan illustrated herewith calls
for an addition of by II feet on the
north end of the house. Across oneend
of the room thus made, see Fig. =, 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 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
q layer of the best coal tar paper put
on in such 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 beveled 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 21a 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 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 its place. The bottom of the
ice chest should be up some 20 inches
from the floor, and consist of n galvan-
lied iron drip-pan, resting on grating

Proper Manurfng 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.

of two by tours two inches apart. This
grating may be made by mailing the
two by tours onto both sides of the
studs forming the partition.
The water from the melting ice should
be conducted from the drip-pan to the
outside by means OF pipe, provided
with a trap, the trap being necessary to
prevent an outflow of cold air with
the water. The sides of the ice box
should be lined with four-inch strips
of inch stuff about one inch anart, the
edges planed to a bevel as in rig. l, SO
that the drip where the ice comes
against the sides will fall to the inside
and into the pan below. The shelves in
the storage room should be of Stats, so
as to allow circulation of air.
The outside door should be 2R feet
wide, the door into the cold storage
the same width and extending from
the floor to the ceiling. The door into
the ice box, two feet wide and about
three feet high. One window with
double glass, about three feet long and
~ feet high, well up in the side of the
wall will give sufficient light. The
sides of the building should be well
banked up, SO that the space under
the floor will be dry and the air dead.

He dropped into chair, and, without

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE.
The Moral Aspect OF Poor Roads
AmusingIy Discussed by 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 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-
tons. The world would lose all those
ecstatc 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 more important way humanity
would lose. Good roads. in 4 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 and doggedness of the gran
lite he daily drives over. The Virginian
hos superimposed 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 Ill-
noisan from his bottomless black mud.
And fnally-if more argument be
needed-poor roads restrain the motto
cycle to its native lair of the noisomc
city, and keep it from defling the
beautiful rural districts.-N. y. Com

Practical Poultry Paints

At a farmers institute in Iowa lady
read an essay telling how she made a
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 cornfield 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 1920 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
corn and more hogs"

Skilled Men In Demand,

The demand for skilled buttermakers
is expected to be greater this season
than, ever before. A number of cream
erymen lave been heard to express
themselves as being through expert
melting with poor, cheap help, as it
tas 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 a good salary.
TIE buyers on our leading markets are
becoming more and more critical each
year, it is going to be the creamcries
that turn out fancy butter every day
in the week that will be on top next
fall.--N. !. Produce Review.

A Trip to Europe.

At the late meeting OF the National

Col, 1t was decided to arrange for a
trip of the n. e. A. to Europe the
coming summer as it was thought best
to go during the summer of 1899,
rather than undertake the trip 10
1000, when the steamships would be
overloaded and hotels all crowded on
the other side. The trip will cost
$255, which includes all necessary ex-
penses from the time of leaving New
York until returning, including the
S. government fee for each passenger.
1t takes in even more than the ordi-
nary $3.50 trip, and takes the party
through Switzerland, Holland, Ger
many, France and England. 1t is
contemplated to start May 81. All
persons engaged in newspaper work
and members OF their families are ELI
