ICE IS A NECESSITY,
The Farmer Who Has Once Put UD
Crop OF It VIII Do So Every
Year Thereafter

Although the storing of ice has been
urged often, the subject is quite time
y now, and the advice given to every
one to put up ice for next summers
use will not be out Of place. The idea
that ice is only a luxury is back
number" with those who have had ice
for several years: to them it has be-
come necessity. With its use the
butter can be kept solid, the milk kept
sweet, victuals kept palatable from one
meal to another, and the family can
enjoy ice cream without purchasing
it or without going miles perhaps to
buy a chunk Of ice. The idea of buy
ing ice as cheaply as it can be put up
is a mistaken one, and the calculation
being made to buy ice the coming sum-
mer simply means that we will do with
out it.
It is not essential to have a house
built on purpose for the storing Of ice
We once stored a block of ice eight
feet square and about ten feet high.
and after the block was finished we
built a square OF rails around it, put
ting straw in the cracks to hold the
sawdust, placed a cover of boards over
It, and the ice kept quite well.
In storing ice we always cut the
blocks in size to fill the house to within
a foot from the walls, and pace in the
same position as it is taken out of the
water; this makes every layer quite
level and it is much less labor than
when we set up on edge as some recon-
mend. and it wiz keep fully as we'll
After each layer the joints should be
filed with snow or pounded ice, or saw
dust viii do about as.weIl lamp saw
dust as solid as possible around the
sides and over the top. Watch your
ice closely during the spring months
for this is really the most critical time:
if air passages are formed through the
sawdust. the ice will melt very ra pidly
and by the time you wish to com
mence to use it. it may have melted
away considerably.
When using ice remove the top laver
entirely before taking off the second.
Try putting up quantity of ice this
winter and see if you wish to do with
out it again.-Jaeob Dickman, in Ohio

Keeping Boys on the Farm.

The boys on the farms crowd to the
cities as soon as they are old enough to
do so, but this condition of affairs is due
to the fact that the boy is not taughtto
take an interest in farming. He must
work before he goes to school. and also
on his return home. Give him pony
and some little bantam chickens. as
well as small patch Of ground for his
use, to be grown to anything he pre-
fers. Ii allowed to raise, a pig and have

FRAME AND ROOF BOARD.

ago. that cost four times as much.
Some farmers have an idea that they
must forego this luxury, when almost
any kind of a shed will preserve the
ice very well, provided it is properly
packed. Our present ice house is
built as cheaply as possible, and took
less than q days work in construc
ton. The cut shows the plan of the
framework. We used white oak poles
set into the ground about two feet.
Some cheap hardwood bill stuff of
2x4 and 2x6 pieces were used for
plates, nail ties, braces and rafters.
A fair grade Of pine stock boards, IL
inches wide, were used for siding.
The siding was nailed on the inside
of the poles, horizontally, better to
resist lateral pressure from the packed
ice and sawdust. A better grade of
stock boards, one foot wide, furnished
a good roof. Such board roof should
be made quite steep, to shed water,
and. with kerfs cut on each edge,
makes almost a perfect roof.
The cut shows how the kerfs are
cut, one-haf inch wide and three
eighths OF an inch deep. The roof
boards should be dressed on their up
per surface. and the kerfs should be
cut at least three-fourths of an inch
from each edge. The mill operator
sets the buzz saw out Of line on the
mandrell shaft just right to make a
half-inch "wabble." Nail the roof
boards on each edge, outside the
kerfs, and drive one nail in the CEN
ter of the board, as shown in cut.
Our ice house cost US less than SIS,
and will last as long, and keep ice just
as well. as one costing 500 OF more

Very Nearly Flat

The dull winter season is good time
to prepare for summer rush work.
One Of the jobs which should be done
carefully. without hurry, is the max
ing Of hay rack. The rack portrayed
herewith is in one piece, bolted soid1y
together. This style is particularly
adapted to low down agon or one

and hind wheels three and one-half
feet in height. 1t can be made very
nearly fat when used on this style of
wagon. It can be made Of any desired
length or width, according to the fancy
OF the user. The side sills, a. for low
wagon can be made OF two by six
inches stuff or of two by eight inches
for the common high wheel farm
wagon. The four pieces, b, are of two
by four by six feet long. The four
pieces, c. are of one and one-quarter
by four by 40 inches long. These are
bolted through and also through the
silIs, longer ones. b, on top, shorter, or
c, underneath. One bolt holds both
pieces. This is done with all but the

SWEET CORN PATCH,
One Trial Will Convince Amy INTEL
1igent Farmer That He Cannot
Do Without 1t.

No farmer knows the advantages de-
rived from good patch of sweet corn
until he has tried it. When he has once
had patch, he is a very curious farm
er. indeed, if he fails to plant in after
years. It is not only good for table
use, but most excellent for helping out
the pastures and keeping up the flow
OF milk. 1t is also good for hogs. They
will devour it, stalks and all, unless
fed too much at a time. They will
chew up the stalks, taking all the
juice out and leaving nothing but the
fiber. It is one OF the cheapest ways
Of making pork. But if you feed too
much hogs will eat the ears first. and
leave too much Of the stalks.
Sweet corn can be planted from the
1st Of May to the 4th of July with
safety. The late planting should be
some OF the earlier sorts, such as Early
Minnesota. But the early planting.
up to the middle Of June, may be sto-
wells Evergreen. The latter variety
makes very large crop of fodder,
with long, broad leaves, and large ears
with deep grains. This variety can
not be cut and put in very large shocks,
unless it is quite ripe, as it will mold.
/ have found no sweet corn, let it be
ever so dry, that will stand stacking or
putting in mows in large quantities.
It must be left out in the shock. and
drawn in only as fast as fed.
1t is best suited for cutting and feed
ing in the green state. and for conven-
fence should be planted near where it
is to be fed. We use a wheelbarrow for
hauling it, leaving it out in the field

is quickly done, and is cheaper than

became the victim of serious Kidney
and Liver Trouble. He was very bad,
but has entirely recovered. He gives
the story in his own words as follows:
L have been sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trou-
bic, and have tried many remedies,
some of which gave me temporary re-
lief, and others which were absolutely
worthless. I began to think that
there was no help for me, when my
nephew gave me a part of box of
Dodd's Kidney Pills which he had left,
saying that it would do no harm to
try them. as they had certainly fixed
him all right. What he gave me
helped me so much that felt justified
in purchasing more, and grew slowly
better. It took almost two months to
effect a complete cure, as mine was
very bad case, but I can cheerfuHy
and truthfully say that I am a well
man to-day. and I am very grateful
that Dodd.s Kidney Pills were thus
brought to my notice
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have
created quite sensation in some
parts of the state. There does not
seem to be any case of Lame Back,
Rheumatism. Kidney or Bladder Trou-
BILE which these wonderful Pills cam
not cure. They are certainly pop
ular here, and the sale through the
local druggists is very large.

Seeds are sometimes planted too
close together. Even wheat will give
good results when but few seeds are
used over certain area. It is stated
that in an experiment made, in which
the plants We're set out and allowed to
multiply and again divided, single
grain produced 10000 heads, contain

experiment shows that grain of
wheat will produce much more than
may be supposed.
