second floor, which was watertight and
on a slant, as shown by line B, aud
conducted the water away from the
building through a spout made like
an eavestrough, as shown in line c.
The porch on the corner, A, is the
entrance, and that part of it is a
storm door-there being two other
doors and walls before getting into
the storage room proper. This makes
1t more easy to go in and out of it
without affecting the temperature of
the room. The building has a double
roof. and the ends are provided with
large windows just below the roof that
give vent to the chamber above the ice,
and the double roof protects it from
the sun. The store room has plenty of
light, 1t being well supplied with win
dows. But for fear you may get a

they are three deep, that is, three sash
each, containing two thicknesses of
glass, making in all six panes of
glass and four air spaces between the
outside and the inside of the room.
With ice in the building, the lower
room does not vary much in tempera-
ture any time during the summer, al

zero. With this kind of ice hOuSe one
can keep butter almost as well as il

DAIRY CROP ROTATION.
System Which Assures the Comfort
able Keeping of 40 Cows on
90 Acres of Land.

Recently, in referring to a very pro-
ductive section of Wisconsin, Hoard's
Dairyman said that Go acres of good
tillable land would annually support 40
COWS for dairy purposes. A correspond
ent from Ohio asked for a rotation of
crops TO adopt for this work in connec-
ton with corn, and the provisions for
pasture, to which the Dairyman replied
as follows:
There is probably just as good land
IN Ohio, but we are not sufficiently ac-
Quainted with Ohio conditions to Justify
"a similar statement for every farm in
that state. Given good land in Ohio. OF
elsewhere, we should depend very
largely upon corn and alfalfa as the
main crops, and devote very little acre
age to pasture. We should expect to
raise corn enough to fill silos and have
considerable left over for cribbing. We
should aim to keep a goodly number of
hogs to take the skim milk to good adj
vantage, and expect to use the money
received for hogs in purchasing feed for
the cows and other hogs. Alfalfa has
not been recommended for a short rota-
ltion and we should therefore wait until
more is learned about alfalfa, expect
to grow some common clover, and. nos
isibly, wheat, oats and barley. These.
however, are questions that can only he
fully answered when one is entirely
conveTsant with the soil, climate and
markets"

CONDENSED MILK TRADE.
Farm Paper Enumerates Several
Reasons for the Phenomenal
Growth OF This Industry.

1t is doubtless true that the demand
for condensed milk is on the increase.
A good many families that once used
cows milk now use condensed milk.
Recently the writer visited friend
living in a small Michigan town, and
was surprised to see condensed milk
on the table. Cows milk was also on
the table, but the family used mostly
the condensed milk. Taking all things
into consideration they regarded the
condensed article as cheap as the
other, though prices for the latter
were very reasonable.
The Farmers Review gives several
reasons why a large number of people
prefer the condensed milk. In the first
place. they assume that it has been
llife-which probably is not true. In
the second place, they believe that the
milk from which this condensed article
was made is cleaner than the milk gen.
orally obtainable-and this is certain
ly true. The public has within a
few years heard great deal about the
filthy conditions in which many of our
dairy herds live and produce milk, and
they are fleeing from such milk. II
is also quite generally known that the
condensing factories are very exacting
In the matter of the milk they use. A
trip among the suppliers of milk fo1
condensing factories shows white
washed stables, well-lighted and we'll
ventilated, barnyards well-drained and
cleanly kept, milk cans perfectly clean
and bright, and cement cooling watts
in which is running cold water. The
milk inspectors do not hesitate 20 or
der the methods that will give clean
milk where ordering" is necessary.
We have known the milk of farmers
refused because they would not put in
a ventilator. For such reasons the
companies that make condensed milk
find the demand for their goods con-
stantly increasing. The census of 1890
showed an annual production of 81 1885,
S21 pounds of condensed milk; the CEN
sus of 1900 showed an annual pro-
duction of 1S6 .921, 7S7 pounds, an increase
OF nearly 500 per cent

DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK.

cows should be a gentle man.

I BY keeping your horses shut up in a
dark stable you may permanently injure

If short of bedding shake it out care

Through the day.
Little specks or finger prints on butter
put it out of the first quality grade and

If there is any space under the manger
in which the horse can possibly get his

No, we would not sell wheat at &c

can be made profitable only by extra care

Why not fatten calves in warm box

Negro Opened Mouth to Eat

The negro's cries could be heard in
almost every part of the hospital. He
had been taken there by friend AS
he entered the gate one of the stu
dents saw him with his mouth as
wide open as it was possible to open
it. The student followed the negro
into the amphitheater and found that
the boy had opened his mouth so wide
that his jaws had become dislocated.
The student backed him into a cor
ner and with his thumbs covered with
rubber ran them into the negro's
mouth, trying to get the jawbone back
in place. Every few moments the
negro would bite the thumb of the
student and the student would NUT
ter something which would not look
well in print
The negro was very much fright
ened. His eyes looked as though they
were about to pop out of his head
and if he had walked through a brier
patch his eyes would have been pulled
out by thorns
The student understood the negro's
condition and worked with HIM for
some time. The first attempt to get
the jaws into place was not success
full. The student removed his thumbs
and shook his head. The negro
thought this meant that the student
could do nothing. He gave vent to
wall that sounded like lost soul and
begged the doctor to make another at
tempt All this time he was talking
as though his mouth was full of hot
mush. His mouth was so wide open
that it was almost possible to see the
cream he had eaten.
The student put the negro's head
against the wall and bore down on it.
There was sound not unlike the pop
ping of a champagne cork. The stu
dent removed his thumbs and the ne
gro looked at him and began to work
his jaws. The feeling of relief that
came over his face was indescribable.
The negro could not realize il for few
moments, and then, in an ecstasy of Joy
