The National Dairy Show.
Regarding the National Dairy Show.
would like to inform the dairymen
through your valuable columns that
the exhibition of dairy cattle will be
very complete.
The floor space in the great Coli.
scum has practically all been taken,
and the exhibits comprise everything
that the creamery man, cheese man,
milk dealer and dairy farmer uses in
his factory or on the farm. Much of
the machinery will be in actual opera
ton and in addition to these exhibits
there will be sanitary city milk plant
with all the latest improved machinery
in actual operation, showing how milk
can and should be handleI for city
consumers. In another part of the
building there will be in daily opera.
ton a full model creamery, where the
whole process Of manufacturing but
ter will be carried on. Large refriger.
ator show cases will be erected in
which will be life-size figures Of dairy
cows and other subjects, modelled by
Mr.. John X. Daniels, the greatest but.
ter sculptor in the world
The U. S. Department OF Agriculture
will have an educational exhibit which
will be of interest to every dairyman,
and will also have the direction of
the milk and cream contest which will
be held in connection with the show.
An interesting feature of the Ma
tional Dairy Show will be the food
section. In this will be shown the
very highest grade of pure foods, un-
der the direction of Mr.. Paul Pierce,
formerly the superintendent Of food
exhibits at the st. Louis Worlds Fair,
who has also arranged for a number
of working exhibits, such as a cooking
school for housewives and lectures on
the proper feeding of children. The
ten days are very thoroughly covered
by lectures on subjects Of interest,
both to city and country people.
The railroads throughout the coun-
try have granted such low rates for
this great exhibition that it is within
the reach Of every progressive dairy.
man in al parts of the country to
come and learn what great progress is
being mada in the dairy industry of
this country. - !. !. 4: ]. .5s g IL.

Ice in the Ca:y.
AS to the use l make Of ice in the
dairy, ! will give you my methods.
First. l have my own icehouse. built
II feet square and IA feet to the caves.
built with double wall eight inches
thick, filed with sawdust I put in
from % to Is loads Of ice-to run me
all summer by this ice cut and
loaded on platform for 40c to SOC per
wagon. have to haul it 21a miles,
but as it comes at time of the year
that we are not rushed with the farm
work it does not cost so much to fill
the house. l figure that $50 will pay
for the ice and hauling Of same for 40
tons of ice. have an ice box that
had built in the milk house. It is my
own plan. I find it very satisfactory.
1t is double-wall, filled with sawdust.
The box is 6 feet high, Z feet long and
AZ feet wide inside measure. l have
shelf 20 inches wide across one end
and one side on which put the ice,
with outlet at end of box. The shelf
is covered with zinc. The shelf is
about 21a feet from the floor. It will
hold 600 pounds of ice at once. place
the cream can and butter box in the
box on the floor. find the ice very
convenient and do not think that any
dairyman can afford to make butter
without ice. The above amount Of
ice is enough for all my needs for a
dairy that turns out about 5000 pounds
OF butter per year. For the general
farmer would suggest that he build
an ice house 1Ox10 and 10 feet to the
caves. 1t will do to have 1t made Of
common rough lumber, and would
suggest that he use hemlock for the
inside wall, as 1t is cheaper and is
better for the purpose than pine that
we get now.-Eli Crosias, LaSalle Co.,
