PROPERLY PACKED ICE.

q
saw manipulation may be. On this &C.
count we put in one layer, fit closely
as possible, then shave over the upper
surface of all the cakes with car
penter's adz. The shavings of ice are
swept into the crevices between cakes.
When freezing cold, little water is
sprinkled over the whole surface to
cement the layer solidly together.
AS each layer is completed the saw
dust should be filled in around the sides
level with the top and solidly tamped
down. Allow no sawdust to remain
on top OF the various layers until the
icehouse is filled. The figure shows the
sixth layer in and r.ady for the saw
dust. Ice is preserved by being packed,
away from the air. AS hot weather
comes on the ice will settle some. Be
sure to keep the sawdust tamped down
around the sides frequently during
early summer and see that no air holes
form.
When the ice is all packed in, cover
with 10 to Is inches of sawdust. Leave
the gables open more or less to allow
free circulation of air over the ice.
hope that this description, with sketch,
of our own successful harvesting and
storing of ice in cheap pole frame
icehouse will encourage many farmers
to decide to have some ice next season,
and may they thoroughly enjoy for the
first time the cooling benefits which
accrue to the fortunate possessors Of
the eopgea.ed fluid.

CORN STALK DISEASE.
Caused by Pasturing Cattle i'm Stalk
Fields Late in Full or EARLY
in Winter.

This term is applied to disease oc-
casioned by paSturing cattle in stalk
fields late in fall or early winter. An
outbreak, if one should occur, usually
takes place in from two to fourteen
days after the animals are turned upon
the stalks. The great majority of
cases occur between the fifth and
eighth days. 1t is also observed that
all animals affected die within two or
three days of each other. There is
nothing in the appearance of the fod-
der to indicate that it may cause
trouble. Cattle may Craze and do well
on one field, and from ten to fifty per
cent. be. lost on another separated only
by fence. 1t makes no difference
whether the cattle are allowed to Craze
for only a. few hours or left in all day.
After one outbreak has occurred Sec
ond rarely follows. The disease has
never been reported from feeding cut
fodder, even when taken from the
same field as that in which disease has
occurred from grazing. The cause has
never been determined, but it is most
often observed after dry season.
The general symptoms are that the
animal appears dull, persists in stand
ing in one place, or if he moves it is
with noticeably jerky gait. There is
marked prostration; the animal will
fall on the knees, and may require sew
eral attempts to rise. Some act as If
crazy, but the majority are stupid.
There is more or less frothinp at the

Official Paper of County.
A coMMENDABLE POLICY.
in the South and Their
/ Probable Effect.

President Roosevelt's general policy
is somewhat cratic and jerky as a
whole, after the manner of the man,
but his southern appointments have
been, in the main, deserving of
hearty appreciation. He has refused
to appoint some unfit men. He has
broken with some of the office brok-
ers and delegate-buyers who have
made the name of republicanism in
the south reproach. He has made
some conspicuously fit appointments,
says the Albany Argus.
In order to do so, he has been
obliged to appoint southern demo-
Gratis. That fact is in itself strik-
ing commentary on the absence of a
respectable republican party in the
far south; for President Roosevelt is
an intense partisan. 1.-THE fact Isl"
says the Atlanta Constitution, shat
since the republicans turned loose
Louisiana and South Carolina in 1877
there has been nothing more tangible
to republicanism in the gulf states
than a close corporation of former
carpet-baggers, pap-produced con-
verts, and colored convention heelers.
They have survived upon the policy
OF the republican administrations of
giving the federal offices in the south
TO the men who could produce pre-
pledged delegations in the national
conventions of the party. 1t is a
prophecy of better things when the
president turns down such fellows
and guarantees the purity and fidel-
lty of the public service by appoint
ing to it democrats of approved char
acters. 1t is also good sign that he
does not propose to pension padrones.
The process he has hit upon may not
build up dominant republican party
in the south, but it will benefit the
pubic service and put premium on
patriotism instead of partisan presto
digitation."
This policy of the presidents has
ahenated from him, in many of the
southern states, the men who have
heretofore made business of ''hand-
ing" the delegates to the republican
national conventions. 1t may be that
these men will continue in business.
and flock with the opposition to
President Roosevelt's nomination in
1904. 1t may be, on the other hand,
that their wings will be clipped, by
the adoption of the Payne policy of
so many republican votes, so many
delegates. 1t is to be remembered
that Mr.. Payne is now in the cabinet,
and the accredited manager of the
Roosevelt machine. He may endeavor
to cut off one of Mr.. Hanna's best
sources of delegate-getting.
But if the full Payne policy should
be adopted, including the curtail-
ment of representation in congress of
states which have adopted education
al tests for suffrage, it will be long
after President Roosevelt's time be-
fore there are enough republican
votes in the far south to be worth the
counting.

The far-reaching, benefcent results Of
his work, as revealed in the century just
closed, have served to emphasize his i'm
mortal fame Washington gave to liberty
new name and established forever the prln-
.iple of mans brotherhood with positive
equality under the law.
The nation of his founding denied the eK-
istence of caste and adopted constitution
whose most glorious feature is the llmlta-
ton of rulership to fitness and the declared
will of all the people.
Washington had faith in men. He be-
lieved them capable of governing them
selves under benign laws.
When he presided over the constitutional
convention of 1887 no country of earth en-
joyed a popular form of government. with
the exception of the little republic of Swift
erland, whose influence did not reach be-
yond the ice-capped mountains which were
The walls of her security. England, nom
inally free, had a king who believed in
divine right to do as he pleased and whose
chief pleasure was to punish writers and
speakers for honest expression OF opinions.
1t was not until 33 years after this constr
tutional convention that Great Britain re-
pealed her oppressive laws against the free
dom of the press.
All of South America, and very much of
North America, were under the dominion
of despotic Spain, whose edicts were writ
ten in blood and whose greatest kindness
was death by the sword. France was groaa-

Will. Ihey MADE care1uf study OF condl-
tons among other nations and resolved to
avoid these.
In all OF these high purposes Washing
ton was foremost, lending his acute intelli-
gence, magnificent personality and all the
influence Of his glorious record in the seven
years war for liberty, to the work OF build
ing government upon the broadcast
grounds possible of freedom of action, of
thought and of speech,
Every nation of earth had an established
religion; this nation eschewed the subject,
leaving to each man the divine right to
worship God according to the dictates Of
his own conscience.
Freedom of the press was denied in all
other countries; this people guaranteed
there should be no abridgment of this right.
Other countries saw honor, distinction,
fame and glory only in the accident of birth,
which alone could give king OF open way
for honorable distinction.
Washington contended for universal suf-
frage, against class legislation and for q
government of and by as well as for the
people.
The nation thus was born, and as it grew
the healthful influences of its life began
to spread. Where it has not revolutions
lied, as in France, it has tempered and re-
fined the administration of justice, until
to-day Russia is the only nation of Europe
whose rule Is absolute. Some form of con-
stitutional government prevails In every
land. Japan, unknown to the world 100
years ago, freely acknowledges its weighty
obligations to this nation, and, IN the light
of recent events, one would not be over
hold in declaring that in the present cen,

generals Who had covered .nemse,ve. vnh

gensrals VINO had covered themselves with
honors in battles with picked armies Of the
continent of Europe. Then as now the fore
most nation of Europe, Great Britain, had
unlimited money and men at her command.
10 meet these Washington had undisci-
pinned farmers, who were ill-fed, ill-paid
and whose families sorely needed them at
home.
Besides there were cabals formed by rival
commanders who sought his place, the in
action and but too frequently the incom.
petence OF congress, the treason of Arnold,
the opposition of tories, and general dis
content, the result of long war.
In the midst of these trials Washington
moved with serene front. In that dread
winter at Valley Forge, when nearly one.
half of his army was barefoot and had to
sleep under ground, he preserved his cour-
age. No general who has lived overcame
so many obstacles as Washington.
Count D'Estang said there was not an.
other man in the world who could have hold
together that army at Valley Forge, ragged,
as 1t was, and hungry and houseless and
unpaid.
AT no time in the seven years did Wash
lngton doubt of final victory. With sublime
faith in the justice of the cause, he waited
and trusted and planned. He would &C.
cept no defeat. Compelled again and again
to decline battle because of the paucity of
his numbers and the limited supply of am
munltlon, ne persisted in his purpose until
he wore out the enemy. More than once, by
the sheer force of his genius, he snatched
victory from defeat.
His courage, his patience, his supreme
faith inspired faith and hope in others.

revolution. All eyes were turned to him;
all faith was centered in him. The people
doubted congress, they lost confidence in
other generals, but the cause and Washing.
ton were one. 1t was made incarna;e in
him. and if he died the cause died with him.
Equal to every emergency, quailing before
no duty, ambitious for country rather than
self, he Won his way to immortal fame.
He might have been dictator, or king, and
could have wrested all North America from
foreign dominion. He chose, rather, to be-
come servant of the people whom he loved
and whose government he established.
After brief administration, he declined to
serve longer as their chief magistrate retir.
ing to the life of simple citizen of the re.
public.
The glory of his name lies in rounded
life. Without being LUMINOSITY conspic-
uous in singlegifts as Alexander or Napoleon,
the sum of his talents eclipses the glory Of
the others. The luster of his fame does not
! dim with the years, but its brightness in.
cFeases with the added, developing results
Of the work done by him. The name Of
liberty will have disappeared when the
glory Of the fame Of Washington shall have
been obliterated. Being dead, he continues
| to speak in every added evidence of the
greatness of the country Of his founding,

Mr.. j. H. Brown, in Rural New York
er, explains the method he uses to
store ice. The illustration shows a
cross section of his icehouse, with
boards nailed horizontally on the in

From 12 to Is inches should be left
