Ice on the Farm.

Ice Is one of the great luxuries OF
modern times, and is fast becoming a
necessity. Its use has many phases.
It is exceedingly valuable In the dairy
all through the summer, and sby it's
help the e~nterprising farmer is. able
to put on the market a higher quality
OF milk; butter and3creama than would
otherwise be possible. Ice enters into
the problem of food preservation, and
the farmer that has an abundant sup
ply OF 1t can indulge in the luxury of
fresh meat much oftener in the sum
mer than he otherwise could. The
farmers wife always appreciates the
advantage Of having ice that she can
use as she wishes in her culinary op-
erations.
Ice is one Of the things that is
easily obtained on most farms in the
North, but it requires some work to
secure it. However. the time of ice
harvest comes when no other harvest
can be gathered. Many of our farm
ers have ponds that are large enough
and clear enough to provide a first.
class quality of ice. Where the farmer
lacks such a pond he can generally
buy his ice from some neighbor at a
cost OF about ten cents a ton, he to do
the cutting and hauling. The inhabit-
ant in the city pays all the way from
IS to 81 per ton for the ice that is
delivered at his door. The aggregate
cost to the farmer, including cost of
hauling, interest on value Of building
for storage, packing material and pack
ing should not be over so cents a ton.
We are glad to know that many of
our farmers have built frst-class ice
houses and every year fill them with
enough ice to last till cold weather
comes the following year. The best
Ice houses are those that are square
M as near a cube as possible. In
such a house ice may be so packed
that it will present the least possible
surface toward the outside, and will
produce the least possible lateral pres.
sure. The walls must be well built,
to prevent the bullying Of the building,
"A building that is very tall will permit
the ice to sag to one side and this
will cause the bullying Of the building
on the side against which the ice
comes. We have seen such buildings
with great props against them to pre-.
vent still greater damage.
In building an ice house for farm
use, a few principles need to be oh,
served. The first of these is to give
perfect drainage. The house should be
either on an eminence and have a nat
ural drain, OF it must have tile laid
to carry off the water as fast as 1t il
made by the melting of ice. If waite,
is permitted to accumulate, it causes
the more rapid melting and consequen;
loss Of ice. The walls of the house
should be built double, to give a good
sized air space. The packing Of the
ice should be carefully done, as this ii
a very important factor in preventing
the melting Of the ice.

Makes Women Sluggish. and Apt to
Take on Fat.
There used to be no greater auto
mobile enthusiast than Baroness Won
Hepgelmuller, wife of the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, but nobody
ever sees her in a 'chug-chug cart"
these days. 1t is limited the baroness
believes there is nothing so injurious
to the complexion, and even to the
figure, as overindulgence in auto
driving. She found that speeding in
the open air gave a person an inordi-
nate appetite, and then made one feel
drowsy. In fact, it meant no exercise
and far too much eating and sleeping.
AS a result the waist got out of the
accepted lines and the eyes grew lus.
terless. On the whole, the baroness
has decided that if n wishes to re.
main beautiful, walking or riding is a
better form of locomotion. Her ideas
are beginning to be accepted by WON
en- who formerly spent a dozen hours
a day in their machines.-New York

Facts About Marriage Rite.

The historical facts concerning
marriage as an institution are prob
ably only vaguely known to the ma
jority of people, most of whom would
doubtless be surprised to learn that
the institution, as we know it to-day,
is less than 500 years old. Histories
of the marriage ceremony show that
it was not solemnized in church as a
religious rite ilntil the time Of Pope
Innocent ILL.,, A. D. 1892, and was not
considered a sacrament until 1442.-

Forest Reserves.

More and more the national gov
eminent is taking an interest in
the matter of reserving tracts of
land for forest growths. In most
cases the t.;!cts reserved are not
valuable for agriculture of any kind.
1t is not perhaps known to most
Americans that the United States has
a forest reserve in Porto Rico. It is
in the eastern part of the island and
embraces about $4,000 acres, or about
100 square miles. The region is very
mountainous and at the present time
is u~nsurveyed. A great variety Of
woods are, however, found on the re.
serve.

For The Rural Reader.

A few years AGO., while I was living
in Lebanon, N. H, there was a certain
MI. Bagley there who was noted for
trying to S big words, and also for
getting his remarks somewhat twist
ed. On a certain occasion he had
been at a farmers meeting at Hano-
yer and, while returning, n of his
neighbors drove up behind him and
the conversation turned on crops.
His neighbor asked: How is your
hay crop this season." .
Bagley replied: well, my hay crop
is rather short, but 1 shall get my
COWS through the winter all right, for
l shall have two solos full of muci.

Length Of the Horses Foot.

If a horses foot is too long it in
rease the fatigue Of the horse in
using it. 1t requires an increased
amount of energy to lift and advance
this foot. There is also an increased
tendency to interfere. The habit of
keeping the hoof long has been fos-
tered by dealers because this lends
style to the horse, as it requires more
exertion in the lifting Of the foot.
If the farrier is allowed to do as he
thinks best, he will cut down the foot
to the natural proportions. If the
wne is wise, he will not prevent
him from doing this.

Symmetry of Fowls.

The symmetry of fowls consists
in the harmony of all parts and
all colors. Every breed has a
standard of perfection of form and
color. The judge has an ideal in
his mind as to what constitutes
perfect form and perfect color.
While judges differ as to the details
to be worked out, yet there is a sur
prising mount of agreement among
poultry judges. The symmetry of the
bird probably counts for more than
any other one. thing in the minds Of
both judge and visitors.

ScaIy Leg.

Scaly leg is not an hereditary
disease, as some have supposed.
1t is the product of a minute in
sect, which gets under the scales
and burrows in the remotest crevices.
The swelling resulting from the ir-
ritation causes the scales to lift up.
This makes it possible to reach them
with kerosene or other destructive
fluid.
