water Frozen and stored.

A travelling man recently returned
from trip through Montana tells of a
curious method he saw there for stor-
ing water needed for irrigating pur-
poses This consists of nothing more or
less than freezing the water until 1t is
wanted.
AS soon as the weather becomes such
as to melt this ice it is fit for the oper-
ations requiring the water. The plan,
which so far Is in the nature Of an ex-
pertinent, consists of making a series
of shallow basins on the slope Of hill
In such locations that when water is
plentiful they may be filed, each of
those below the highest receiving sue
cessively the overflow from the one
above.
Once frozen, the ice in the shallow
reservoirs is there until the thaw sets
In, when it melts so slowly as to keep
up supply OF moisture sufficient for
the termination and growth Of the
early crops. This unique method has
been tried so far only in the vicinity of
Dillon, but it appears to be successful
and is to be given trial in several
other favorable localities. - Philadel-

Electric Fms.

Persons who are sensitive to drafts
should not sit in strong breeze gener
Gted by an electric fan. One good way
to derive comfort from these useful
contrivances without permitting the
waves of air to- beat directly against
the body Is to turn the fan toward the
wall, from which they will rebound.

COLD STORAGE HOUSES.
The Practicability of Storing Apples
and Other Fruiy On the Farm

The Practfcabilfty of Storing Apples
and Other Fruiv On the Farm.
The large cold storage houses in the
cities are usually cooled by mechanical
refrigeration. This method is too ex-
pensive for use on a small scale in the
country. Ice and the natural tcmpera-
ture must be relied upon. The Illinois
experiment station has reported the
details of building n storage house ca
pable of holding ice for controlling the
temperature. This house was built as
cheaply as possible and for the most
part by unslSilled labor. 1t cost when
completed s3,430.4o.
During the season 1000 barrels Of ap-
pies were placed in 1t by Oct. 5 and
seventy tons of ice put In the refriger-
ator. The temperature of the storage
room fell rapidly after the ice was put
in to about SO degrees F., and this tenn
perature, or little lower, was main
tanned throughout the experiment. The
cost of storage per barrel of fruit In
this building up to April %, or about
Seven months, was 19.1 cents, or 30.9
cents less than the usual charge for ap-
pie storage. Based upon these results
1t Is estimated that the building IL
stored TO its full capacity each year
would pay for itself in five years.
The fruit In the building was ex-
amined from time to time during stor-
age. Without exception 1t kept well.
There was no scald, no whitening. The
fruit remained plump and in perfect
condition, and the percentage of rotten
fruits was very small. The results are
believed to plainly show the utility of
buildings of this character cooled by
ice. Commercial growers of apples
might afford to invest in similar houses
and thus add greatly to their profits.

Another problem studied by the same
station was whether the small grower

Ualing Alfalfa From the Field.

In the experiments made last sum-
mer in baling alfalfa from the field we
were able to secure a good quality OF
hay from alfalfa which was baled
when 1t was well cured and fit to stack,
but hay baled before it was fully cured
spoiled badly. The observation was
made that the hay which was baled
from the field retained more leaves
than was usual with alfalfa baled from
the stack. In favorable weather 1t Is
my opinion that the cured alfalfa may
be safely baled from the field, and there
is no doubt If the crop can be saved
and handled in this way that the baled
hay can be put on the market at q less
cost than when 1t Is baled from the
stack. Care must be taken, however,
not to bale when the hay is damp, and
after baling the hay must be stored
under shelter and not allowed to be-
come wet On the other hand, the al
falfa should not be allowed to become
too dry so that it looses its leaves and
becomes brittle. By putting the hay In
the cock in the wilted stage and allow
ing 1t to cure in this way 1T will remain
in good condition for baling for con-
siderable period.-A. NJ. Ten Eyck in

A pianist has to cultivate the eye SO
as to see 1,500 signs in one minute. the
fingers to make 1000 movements and
the brain to understand all these signs
as well as direct all these movements.
In playing Weber's "Moto Perpetuo"
a pianist has to read 4.541 notes in less
than four minutes, or about nineteen
a second, but the eye can receive only
about ten consecutive impressions n
second. so that in quick music it seems
that n player does not see every note
singly, but in groups, probably bar
or more at one view.

Peach growing is said to be rapidly
increasing in importance in Arkansas.
The larger part of the orchards are To-
Gated in the western half of the state
on the higher grounds. The soils which
are becoming popular for peaches are
largely those which were coming to be
considered worn out cotton lands.
Lands so worn as to be Improbable in

TWO POPULAR MEN.
But Joe Cannon Is More Beautiful
Than John Sharp Williams.

Than John Sharp Williams.
Every member on both sides of the
house likes John Williams. To an
alyze his popularity is not so easy. But
1t can be safely said that it is not his
beauty which first attracts one, for
his pulchritude Is of the singed cat
variety. Indeed do not think him so
beautiful as Uncle Joe. On this point
there would hardly be enough dissent
ers in the house to demand the yeas
and nays. Uncle Joe has ruddy
complexion that matches well with
pink carnations, now universally rec
ognized as the insignia of Republican
leadership. John is somewhat swarthy
and has a sort of compromise complex
ion, but it is healthy and natural. He
has never used any skin food or done
any grating. Uncle Joe has also
a sort of cocky look, as If he knew
he would get his hay all in before 1t
rained, putting his thumbs in the arm
holes of his vest and ofttimes tipping
his cigar up q few degrees from the
plane of his orbit just to emphasize the
security of American institutions.
John has a fiercer mien, is somewhat
more combative In appearance, holds
one hand to his ear for he is slightly
deaf, and in the heat of debate his
hair seems to rise up and cry for lib
erty. He has a sort Of lean and hun
CRY look, as If 1t were always just be-
fore dinner, while Uncle Joe wears on
all occasions q postprandial aspect,
suggestive of that peace and plenty
which comports well with certain
plan1s in his party platform. John
misuses tobacco little now and then,
and Uncle Joe has been known to use
cigar ashes to keep the moths out Of
his clothes. There are, In truth, some
points about these two men as Ike as
their family hailing ports in old Caro-
lima And, though fastidious critics
may assert that the line Of beauty
never touched either one Of them, still
they both look good to me-. Adam

Queer old Time Railroad Pass

Colonel William Doris of Hunting
don enjoys the rare distinction Of tray-
cling on a Pennsylvania railroad pass
issued In 1850, which is without limit
This pass is a curiosity, having on it in
addition to the necessary wording the
picture Of an engine and two cars,
which are unique, as might be mag
ined. The engine is anything but mod
ern, and the coaches have the old time
'possum belly" in which baggage was
carried. The colonel retains this pass
because he was one of the original
stockholders of the company.-Tyrone

Kelvin and Figures.
Most Of the stories about Lord kel-

ed upon the occasional inability of the
great man who lisped in logarithms to
bring his mind to a childish sum.
The famous one tells how on his
blackboard he once made two and two
five and, hearing the chuckles of his
delighted class, altered it hastily to
three. He was, however, once heard to
say, in bis characteristic slow way,
with his beautiful use of the soft Irish
r: "Seven times nine, Mr. Mac-far-lane,
are hundred and what? Pause. But
no; seven times nine cannot be hun
dred and anything, Mr.. Mac-far-lane,
for the square root of hundred Is
ten"
It is also told of him that, walking
one day with friend in Largs, he no
ticed that it had begun to rain. He
questioned his friend closely as to
where his coat and umbrella were, and
having satisfied himself that his friend
had not these articles with him he
said, "Well, in that case, doctor, we
will walk back beneath this belt of
trees, for the rain will not per-co-late
the leaves, doctor, for twenty min
utes."

In making the defense, Mr.. Barrow
stated that he had wanted to attack

charged a junior officer, who was act
ing under superior officer, with not
taking the initiative. ut would tear
down the entire military system. if
such a course should be made the
rule" said Mr.. Barrow. THE indict-
ment is not good unless it charges him
with failing to obey the orders of a
superior officer"
There was no occasion for the de-
PENDANT to suspect the need of rein
forcements before he actually called
the men out. 1t was proper to restrain
McIntire.
ut seems like the military is being
tried for the lynching," declared Mr..
Barrow. THE civil authorities are
the ones who should be standing be-
fore a court of justice and not the
military. There is talk of blots. The
crime is the blot, the lynching, with all
it's horrible details-that is the blot.
But | also say that 1t is a blot on
the name of Georgia that these men
