RODE IN ICE WAGON

covers How to Keen Cool.


II you had happened to be near one
or the largest apartment houses In the
northwest quarter OF the town one
hot summers day, you might have
seen strange sight, for gayly
painted ice wagon numbered up TO the
door and the iceman handed out not
cake of ice, but real live woman,

was the establishment of everybody
who saw, but the woman herself
wasn't In the slightest degree embar-
rassed. She had been hurrylng all
over the town since morning, making
ready To 20 away for the summer, and
when mt last she stepped into a small
shop In side street to attend to the
very last errand on her list she was be-
ginning to be dizzy, and her head
ached with the terrific heat till she
was on the very verge OF collapse, says
the Washington Post. The shopkeeper
suggested calling carriage, but she
was afraid to walt. Just at that mo-
ment an Ice wagon drew up to the
curb, and the woman-well. n moment
later she was sitting on borrowed
stool between two blocks of Ice In that
wagon. She simply had herself deliv-
cred at her own door, and she firmly
believes that II she had waited for a
carriage she'd have succombed to the
heat. The Ice wagon, she says, ana
she doesn't forget to add, her own
common sense, saved her life.

Sorting and Storing Potatoes.

Where potatoes are grown upon q
large scale some Of the one horse dig
gers with metal point and rods for
moldboard CAN be proitably employed.
The large digsers drawn by four
horses work well and should be con-
sidered by commercial growers. The
tubers are brought to the surface
where they can be easily picked UP.
An attachment for running the pota-
toes directly into the sack o. wagon IS
not practicable, for the reason tbat
they must dry for little while before
putting together in bulk.
Without question the best plan is to
SORT before storing. Remove all the
small or unstable potatoes and store
by themselves. II scale o. roS Is pres

Some recommend dusting the potatoes

Fail-Hol!ine Hinsus arain.

While the roller is a good imp, en- ent
for iniug anl smoothing the surface
soil, it can very rarely be used efec-
lively after winter grain is sewn. Al
most al farmers agree that if soil is
heavy, it will produce better crops OF
winter grain if the soil is left rough
after it is seeded. All the Jumps
are dissolved by winter freezing, aud
they furnish the fine rich dust thas
is needed to fall upon the roots as
they have been lifted out by frost. The
only conditions when rolling is help
full to winter grain are when the soil is
light, and liable to bow away IN win
ter. In such case the rolling should
bs done as soon as the grain is scw1.
1t will pack the light soil around the
roots, and thus cause the wheat to
make enough growth so as to partially
protect itself from winter killing, and
will lessen the ELECTS of winds in blow
ing away the surface soil.

Hcayes Not Durable.

That troublesome disease OF horses
known as heaves cannot be curel
when once it becomes we'll established,
but in its earlier stages the difficulty
is simply bad cold combined with in-
digestion aud frequently gives way to
proper feeding. In any stage OF the
difficulty only the best quality OF food
should be given, mainly sound oats,
coarse wheat bran and sweet cut hay,
once a week adding a pint Of flax seed
meal to the grains mentioned aud MAX
ing mash of tue whole including the
hay. Water should be given full
half hour before meal time and never
directly after eating. What hay is
given should be chopped fne and fed
with the bran and oats the whole be-
ing slightly moisteaed. This care in
feeding and watering will often cure
what is considered a bad case of
heares, showing that it is only necss-
sary to give the horses proper atten'
ton as soon as any Indication OF the
trouble is noticed in order to ward of
what may prove to be disease that
will make the horse almost valueless.
AS colds are often at the bottom Of the
trouble, especially with young horses,
good care should be taken to blanket
the animals when warm and have
stables free from draughts.
