FLAGLER TALKS OF
THE KEY WEST ROAD
Many Millions Will be Expended in Enterprise that Will Control the
Cuban Trade.-Construction Will be of the Most
Substantial Character

Much has been said and written
about the proposed extension of the
F. E G. Ry. via the Florida keys to
Key West, but nothing of an official
nature has ever been divulged by Mr..
Flagler or other high officers of the
road relative to the project.
This is up to the present time, but
according to the Raleigh. n. c.. cor
Mr.. F1agler himself is credited with an
interview on the purpose and pro-
1ect of this great work which divulges
facts of a very interesting nature and
heretofore unpublished. The cores
pondent says:

Flagler regarding the details of this

KICKING COWS.
How a Rope May Be So Used as to
Restrain the Fractions Animal
Without Throwing Her.

It. is not natural for COW to kick
when being MIXED. II she has &C.
quired the habit, it is bec ause she has
been allowed to contract it through
mistreatment. Heifers will never kick
unless they fear the man who has
charge Of them, but If you abuse the
heifer you will have kicking COW and
it will be your own fault, says the
Midland Farmer. We have given vari-
Gus methods to counterfeit this annoy
ance; and will be glad to publish any
thing that Is sent in. Here is one rec
commended, plan. Take rope and
make q moose in one end. The rope
should be an inch in thickness and
should be about five feet long. When
starting to milk pass the rope around
the legs and run the long end through
the loop. The loose end should lie
over the lap of the mixer. The two
loops, one around each leg, should be
above the joints in the legs. When the
cow tries to kick she will be able to
push her leg forward but short dis
lance, and will not be able to upset the
milk pail or disturb the mixer. The
rope will slip little but not enough to
allow the COW toIdo> any damage, It is
Of no use to attempt to tie q COW fur
ther down on her legs, as she will then
get excited and throw herself.

BUILD AN ICE HOUSE.
Summer is the Time to Prepare the
Place for Next Winters
Crop Of Ice. ~

Summer is the time to get ready for
winter, and now is when the ice house
should be constructed. There are a
few things that must be carefully
looked after in the construction of this
house. One of these is drainage. Good
drainage is necessary, for il the water
rises with the melting of the ice the
loss to, the ice supply will be very
great. Ice melts many times faster in
water than in air, and faster in NOV
ing air than in air that is held in place
by the sawdust or isolating material
The walls of the icehouse should be
firmly built, cautions the Farmers Re-
view, as there is danger that they will
bulge out II they are not strong. The
lateral pressure is not as great as with
silage, but Is considerable If the ice is
not carefully packed. Sometimes the
ice falls apart and lurches to the side
Of the house, and then the strain Is
very great. We have seen small ice
houses on farms that were only two
thirds filed with ice, because the sides
of the house had bulged so the owners
were afraid to put in q full supply.
Sometimes permanent props may be
made. as with the large commercial
icehouses. A double air space will help
to keep the temperature low and pre-
vent wasting ice. The house should be
as near the cube as possible, as this
will give the largest possible space for
the least possible material.

don't know, and it doesn't make any diff

the Chicago Daily News.
Ask half q dozen friends to act AZ crew.
Great care should be exercised in choosing
only men who know nothing about sail
ing, otherwise they might make sugges-
tions as to the management Of the boat.
Far better is it for you to train the men
after your own ideas of sailing-and you
stand much better chance Of getting q
picture of yourself and your boat into the
papers. - @'
b After sailing around the harboD few
times without damaging any of the other
boats, you will be in position to invite
your girl friends to 60 sailing. If expert
enced yachtsmen tell you that your boat
will with safety carry ten, invite twenty
