Get in Touch With Others.

President Hixon suggested that the
club might get in touch with the other
clubs in order to get the road laws i'm
proved. The st. Paul Pioneer Press had
had an editorial saying that the Mime
sofa road laws are the most Anticipated
in the country and that there ought to
be move made to get these laws i'm
proved.
Dr. F. l.. Schnlauss said that there
ought to be law to prevent the sale
of farm wagons with tires less than
three inches broad The use of inch
and a half tires cuts up the roads more
than anything else. He moved that the
secretary communicate with the state
highway commission and see what
it has in view and how the club can
assist it, and then take up the matter
with the commercial clubs. This was
carried
+ Mr. Palmer stated that the state com
mission proposes to run Il road straight
from st. Paul toward Sioux City, run
ming west of Mankato. What this city
ought to do was to work hard to get
this road to 60 through Mankato.
DR.. Schmauss said that the road in
Belgrade for mile and half out of
the city has been cut up and the sod
thrown in the center in the old way,
making an abomnable road. The road
was high enough before and the sod
should have been thrown to one side.
President Hixon said that he had re-
Gently taken 500 mile trip over the
roads and the worst that he had en-
countered anywhere had been within
fifteen miles of Mankato. The contrast
was very marked. From Elysian to
Cannon Falls the road is as nice as

FROM FRIDAY $ ANY
Increased activity on the Alphabet
line has been APPARENT during the past
two weeks; increased force and renewed
energy, ana vet there is no apparent
head or tail to this cowpath line, while
its destination is as yet mere oonjec-
ture. Enough newspaper noto:iety has
been accorded the alphabet" to build
from coast to coast and it is now def
nitely predicted that by fall trains on
its line will be running from nowhere
to nowhere. The Illinois Central sys-
tenn and the Milwaukee system both
control it, is intimated, but we hardly
believe this true; they are too old i'll the
business of rairoaa building to progress
in such dilatory manner. 1t is possible
however, that an understanding exists
between them and the Milwaukee sys-
tenn, the threatened Good Thunder cut
off being the leverage that holds the
report that the Milwaukee would soon
resume operations at Good Thunder
leads us to infer that \. y. c. are. not
keeping faith, or are unable TO deliver

the Milwaukee cutoff will certainly be
built, as it is not the policy of that

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, few principles need to be OBJ
served. The first of these is to give
perfect drainage. The house should be
either on an eminence and have nat
ural drain, or it must have tile laid
to carry OF the water as fast as It is
made by the melting of fee. If water
Is permitted to accumulate, it causes
the more rapid melting and consequent
loss of Ice. The walls of the house
should be built double, to give good
sized air space. The packing of the
Ice should be carefully done, as this
Is very important factor in prevent
ing its melting.
An old Pennsylvania German once
showed the writer an ice house both
novel and simple. large number of
. barrels were filled with pure spring
water when the thermometer was
playing around zero, and these were
frozen solid-three or four inches of
water being placed in the barrel at
2 time. When the barrels were frozen
full of ice they were covered with a
tick of old straw and in this cOndf-
ton remained frozen solid until late
the next summer. The plan is worth
experimenting with in North Dakota.
The matter of diversifying farming
IN North Dakota is being considered in,
the more densely settled parts OF the
state, and while the old timers will
always cling to the growing of wheat

to put on the market higher quality
of milk, butter and cream 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 OPP
[ creations.
Ice is one of the things that is
easily obtained on most farms in this
state. but it. requires some work to
secure 1t. However, the time of ice
harvest comes when no other harvest
can be- gathered. Many OF: our farm
4 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 q
cost Of about ten cents ton, he to do
the cutting and hauling. The inhabit-
. ant In the city pays all the way from
S 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
packing should not be over so cents
"a ton. "a II, 81
We are glad to know that many
+ North Dakota farmers have built first
class ice houses and every year fill
them with enough ice to last till cold

best Ice houses are those that are

of wheat it will be like converting the
heather to make the farmers believe
there is profit in the side lines. Not
until the country becomes densely
populated that the people begin to
crowd each other for elbow room will
these smaller features profitable as
they are, become characteristic of the
country. When the time comes the
people will undertake them as mat
tiers OF necessity.
Whenever man can make liv-
ing easily from the land he Is very apt
to do it In a slovenly and careless
manner. The best types of agricul?
ture which we have are quite likely
to be associated with an inferior soil
