NATURAL ICE Is PASSING.
Dealers Now Find It Cheaper to Man
ufacture Than to Cut the
Article,

For several years past the busines ,
of the iceman of former days has been
decreasing steadily, and at the present
rate ere long he will find his occupa-
tion gone. 1t is no longer necessary to
wait for cold weather to secure sup
ply of the refrigerating product; it can
be produced easily and cheaply in the
warmest weather by chemical pro-
cesses.
In the state of Maine, where, in for
mer years, the harvesting of ice for
market in more southern latitudes was
carried to enormous proportions, the
total quantity cut during last winter,
which embraced perfect conditions for
securing large crop, was but 4S5, 900
tons. against 100000 tons gathered in
the winter of 1923.
The advantages offered by chemistry
and modern machinery for the produc-
tion of ice and the perfect control of
temperature at whatever degree de-
sired, when and wherever needed. ire.
spective of climatic conditions, renders
their mechanical requirements cheap
er than can be obtained from natural
ice when transportation from remote
districts. of storing and the great vast
age of original bulk through melting
is taken into consideration. In all
manufacturing necessity for cooling
and for maintaining uniform degrees
of temperature. as well as certainty of
control of such conditions, together
with their greater economy. present
systems OF artificial refrigeration are
crowding nature out of the field of
competition and reducing the latter to
chiefly local value.

POTTERY AND PORCELAIN.
Russian Product of Which Little Is
Seen Outside of Russia-Samples
in This Country.

Very little is known in this country of
Russian pottery. In st. Petersburg there
is royal porcelain mandatory where
exceedingly fine and artistic ware is pro-
duced, though it is almost impossible
to bring samples out of that country,
which accounts for its great scarcity in
Europe and America, says the China,
Glass and Pottery Review. The pottery
is bold, semi-barbaric character, with
arabesque decorations, consisting of
heads of animals in relief, etc. The in
dustry is carried on rather sparingly,
and, aside from this royal porcelain
plant, there is but little attention given
to the production of ceramic wares.
In the Pennsylvania museum, of which
Edwin Atlee Barber is curator, can be
seen a case of decorated Russian pot
terry, which was originally exhibited at
the centennial in 1876. This pottery is
of buff or orange colored clay. and the
decorations are in relief and highly
colored. The pieces are in the shape of
coffee pots. vases. plaques, etc. An
other variety is decorated with conven-
animals. painted in enameled
colors. There is also in this museum
single piece Of fine porcelain, artistical-
ly decorated. consisting of a cup and
saucer. the product of one of the modern
potteries.

Agricultural Colleges.

why is It," asks Prof. Massey, OF
North Carolina, that the great state
Of New York, which can afford to
spend about seventy-five thousand doll
lars annually on an Independent ex-
pertinent station, can not have
a great agricultural college, and not
mere appendage to great literary uni
versity?" There can hardly be any
doubt that the best and most effective
work in fitting boys for their life-mis-
sion as modern farmers can not be ex-
pected from an institution that is ham,
pered by such connection. The egri-
cultural college at Guelph, Ontario, un-
der President Doctor Mills, shows what
great results in educating the farmers
and the farmers boys can be achieved
by an independent college. A state like
New York, that can spend hundred
million dollars for a canal of doubtful
general usefulness, and large sums as
sop 10 politicians, should not make
the plea of poverty when few thou
sand dollars are asked for an agricul-
tura1 college. The boys Of the stata
are entitled to such consideration.
While at present the farmers of the
state will have to get along as best
they can with that "appendage' at
Cornell, and ask for its adequate sup
port at the hands of The legislature and
state executive, the time will come
when the people of the state, will in
sist ON having separate agricultural
college, and such facilities for training
in the prblic schools, besides, as the
farm boy requires to best fit him for
his life's work on the farm.-Farm and

The Movement For Cotton.

Never before in the history of any
farm interest has any government put
forth such efforts to protect and sup
port an industry as is now seen in the
work done in behalf Of cotton on the
part of the United States department
of agriculture. Cotton diseases, i'm
sects and improvement of seed are be-
ing vigorously worked upon by in
vestigators and demonstrators. Not
satisfied with this, Secretary Wilson
has instructed for the establishment of
diversification farms upon which to
show the people a profitable way out
of an all-cotton system. The move
ment means much for the prosperity of
our agriculture Texas is the chief
beneficiary at this time. because she
has been the only sufferer from the
boil weevil, but in time the whole
