Every corn crib should have some
means by which corr may be put in

illustration represents a good method
of doing this. Between two of the
uprights which are severalfe apart,
the boards are sawed out with bev-
eled ends before mailing on. The
boards are not only beveled but are
cut on an angle-crosswise, so that in

ICE FOR H DAIRY.
Good Quality Can He Secured and
Safely Stored I'm Most Of the
Southern States.

Every dairyman who lives in a eli
mate where ice forms over two inches
thick should have an icehouse, saysa
writer in Home and Farm. There.are
plenty of plans for houses to be used
in cold climates, where the ice forms
IL or more inches thick, and can be
cut to pack in a solid cube, making lit
tie trouble to preserve it through a
comparatively short summer. But at
the south, or at least between the Ohio
river and central Tennessee, ice can
usually be obtained thick enough to
fill q house, and if properly put in and
proper care taken of it, there will be
ice when cold weather comes again.
My neighbors near Louisville had
handsome residences and stylish ice
houses that uniformly failed to keep.
the ice, for they were built of brick
and stone, above the ground, and the
climate was too warm for them. J
dug a hole IA feet square and 10 feet
deep, laid a frame at the bottom and
one on top of the ground, and nailed
boards up and down all around. The
sides of the house extended four feet
above the ground, and made IL inches
thick, stuffed with7sawdust. The roof
was also made double and filled with
sawdust. This / think very important.
I had no ventilation, q do I see any
need for it. All the cold air over the
ice nj from the ice, then why let
air in?
I watched the pond carefully to see
just when the ice was ready. and, hav-
ing my teams and negro men already
engaged, the work was begun the first
morning and finished by night, if it
took all night. In this climate youcan
take no chances. Negroes will not
work in ice unless you make a frolic Of
it with an occasional dram, but not
too much. The ice vas thrown in,
breaking to pieces in the ceater of
the house, while a man kept up the
sides with larger pieces: sawdust was
put on the next day, and then the
trouble began, for the ice soon melta
from the sides, which spaces must be
kept filled with sawdust, as also any
creyices4 forming in the. body Of the

not stand in my ground. With daily
care my icehouse was a complete sue
cess, and several others were built
on the same plan with equal success in
keeping ice.

to make the latter glad.
When boy is 90 he marvels at his
fathers lack of wisdom. Fifteen years
later he is astonished at the old gentle
mans knowledge.
The boy who dies after his first heart .

anyway.
There is no reason why it should ever
be the unexpected that happens to a
man who speculates with other peoples

One difference between the meek
looking mule and the volcano is that

The selfmade man seldom has any

When a girl says she just loves to go

charms grew there.

March is trumpet flower,
And April a crocus wild;
May is 4 harebelf slender
With clear blue eyes of child.
July is the cup of a tulip,
Where the gold and crimson meet,
And August a tiger lily,
Tawny with passion and heat;
But June is the rose OF the world,
Precious and glowing and sweet!
Fair Is the flush of the dawning
over the face of the sky;
Sweet is the tangle Of music
From wild birds tluttering by;
Brilliant the glow of the sunset,
And graceful the bound of the deer,
Glad is the laugh of the children
Ringing like joybells clear;
But what can compare with thy beauty,
