MAKING ICE AT HOME.
How Il Can Be Done During the
Severe Cold Weather.

Secure several vessels with fia1ing
sides like tubs. half-barrels or large
pals and clean them thoroughly. Then
when the first severe freezing wea-
Their sets in place these vessels, filed
with clean well water to a depth of
one foot in exposed places. One or
two nights of freezing will convert the
water into a solid cake of ice and
about 90 tubs will make a ton.
To secure clear ice stir the water
vigorously for while before allow
ing to freezes to cause the air to
leave it. When frozen solid set Tie
tub for a moment in some boiling wat
er and the cake can be removed cas-
lily. Place these blocks into storage
at once and refill the tubs. A few
days of zero weather will in this way
provide several tons OF good ice. Four
or five tons will supply an average
family for the entire summer.
If you have no good ice house, Farm
and Home suggests the inclosing of a
storage bin in the corner of the barn.
b I'D a box on the north side of the
ba and protect 1t with good layer
of straw or hay. Provide for drainage
and ventilation with an opening for
removing the ice at the top. A space
ten feet each way will hold eight to
ten tons. Pack well in sawdust and
cover the whole with pile of hay and
you will have ice all summer

coWPEAs FOR LAWNS.
Grown and Piowed Under They Help
Get Good Stand Of Grass.

The great value of cowpeas as nj
trogen gatherer and natural fertilizer
has long been known. Their impor-
lance in making lawns should be
better understood. Under the most
favorable conditions 1t is quite a seri
Gus task to get a lawn well started.
The usual result of digging the cellar
and grading the lawn is that the good
soil is removed or covered with sub
soil. Cowpeas will mellow such soil
and put fertility into it sooner and
more effectively than any other plant.
In the South cowpeas are extern
sively used for this purpose. In the
villages and small cities one sees a
crop of cowpeas in front of the new
houses everywhere. Usually one
crop is enough to prepare the soil
for lawn grasses. but on very poor
soil two crops may be required. The
soil Is thereby put into the right
physical condition. nitrogen and hui
mus are added and weeds are choked
cut completely.

INITIATIVE IN FARMING.
II Is the Ability to Originate New
Methods.

What is called initiative" is the
ability to- begin new thing without
that new thing being suggested by
the example or the words of another.
Few people comparatively have this
power of initiative. The ones that
have 1t are the ones that lead in new
enterprises. The faculty is acquired
by study and by using methods to get
the mind out of the ruts. Initiative is
needed on the farm as well as else
where. 1t Is difficult thing for n
farmer to begin any entirely new
process. yet the beginning of a new
process in farming is often revolu-
tionary in its effects. Because men
find 1t so difficult to originate new
thoughts is the reason why the de-
velopment of the race has been slow
up to the last hundred years. in which
time this quality of the mind has been
greatly stimulated. Perhaps this has
in itself been due to imitation, the
world desiring to initiate the men that
have made great successes by initia-
ting new things. In the domain of
farming, says Farmers Review. we
have had the illustrious example of
such men as have brought to light the
presence of the tubercle of the legu-
mi1ous plants, and those that have
shown the way to raise sub-tropical
plants in our northern climate. Initia-
tive in farming will yet give us new
processes, of which our minds have
not yet formed a conception.

Disturbing Young Man Found How
Long Steak Took.

Everybody is more or lessAintimate-
ly acquainted whit the young man
who disturbs the peace of public
place without making much noise. he
enters with a careless and vigorous
air of proprietorship that rarely falls
to attract attention, and he conveys
the impression that he rather expects
all hands to make way for him and
note his appearance on the scene.
Usually he is the son of wealthy
parents and he has considerably moro
assurance and self-confidence than
mental ability.
Such a young man strobe breezily
into the cafe of one of the largest of
the downtown hotels the other night.
Everybody glanced up at him: most
OF the employees made haste to ascer-
tain his pleasure and supply his
wants. There was a scurry to pre-
sent menu cards and lay plates and
saucers and cutlery and arrange pre-
liminaries for a feast. Presently the
