THE FARM ICE HOUSE.
The Best Manner of It's Construction
and Its Filling-Care in
Hot Weather.

A convenient size for the farm ice
house Is about ~ feet square on the
outside. Let the frame be made Of
timber two by six inches, and set up so
the siding outside, as we'll as the in
side lining boards, will run Zip and
down the wall, thus facilitating drain
age. The caves should be ten feet
high.
In one end four or five feet from the
ground there should be door through
which the ice can be put in and taken
out. I find by experience that it Is
best not to extend this door down to
the ground, as more or less air will
get in and melt the ice, no matter how
tight we try to make it. Provide
good ventilation by making couple
of lattice windows in either gable. This

It is not necessary to pack the space
between the two walls with sawdust
or straw, as the dead air is just as
good and the structure will not rot
down so quickly.
dirt so it will be few inches higher
than the level of the ground inside.
Then lay old timbers, rails or poles
across the bottom and fill in the spaces
between with sawdust or cut straw to
a depth of six or eight inches, then
your house is ready to fill. The poles
or rails keep the ice from coming In
contact with the earth and give good
drainage without allowing any air to
get In.
In packing away ice, try and get the
blocks out as nearly square as pos
sible, and be particular to pound up
ice and fill up snugly all crevices and
joints that do not fit up together.
Blocks of ice can always be cut so they
will fill out the space between the
walls exactly, so there will be no pieces
to fit in. 1t is a good plan to stop
the ice about six inches short of the
inside wall, and fill in this space as
the house is being filled with sawdust,
chaff or straw. r.
The ice should be covered before the
weather gets warm. enough. to start. 1t
to melting, explains the American Az
riculturist. Every few days it should
be examined and all open spaces filled
up 50 as to keep out all air drafts.
I have seen a most excellent ice house
made of baled straw, laid up like brick
so the joints were we'll broken. This
house had been. in use five years when
l saw it, and promised to be service
able for several more years.

Every mother possesses information
which is Of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and hattie
physicians. as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or q dis
position to sleep. pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and

Mulch in Spring.

A mulch in the spring Is useful for
several reasons. It keeps the ground
from drying out and baking In the sur
face, which results In harm to the
young and tender root system. A more
equable temperature is secured. This
is a point which does not receive as
much attention as it should. A. warm
sun will raise the temperature Of the
bare ground several degrees during the
day, only to be cooled of at night.
Such changes are not good for tender
plants. A straw mulch will also keep
down weeds. 2" .>~.s- ..

1T PAYS.
Good Culture and What It Can Accom-
plish as Reported by Ontario
Experiment Station.

Reports from the Ontario experiment
station give report of the annual
yields of different crops in Ontario for
the past % years. Some Of the yields
per acre are as follows: Barley, 1901
pounds; winter wheat, 1918 pounds:
oats, 1,217 pounds; peas, Ito pounds;
beans, 1925 pounds; spring wheat, 942
pounds; buckwheat, 936 pounds; rye,
913 pounds. These same crops, except
beans, show an average considerably
higher for the years 1902, 1908 and
1904 than for the % years. During the
last three years also these have been
tried in cooperative experiments, many
hundreds of farmers cooperating in
growing certain crops under the direc-
ton of the experiment station. The
average yields on these farms have
been much larger than on the average
farms of the province. The reason is
easy to understand. These men are In
touch with the experiment station
work, many of them having been stu
dents themselves at the agricultural
college or having had sons there who
brought back to the farm the informa-
ton gained. The fact that the farms
of these men have produced larger
crops shows that success in farming is
the result of intelligence and informa-
ton. When knowledge is generally
disseminated among the farmers, the
whole average yield will be brought up
to the point now made by the best
farms.
