PLATFORM FOR LOADING ICE.
Win Greatly Help in the Loading of
the Wagons.

A platform for loading ice should be
erected If you have much Ice to
handle, although II you draw 1t on a
sled It will not be necessary The
platform should be eight or ten feet
square or large enough to hold two
loads OF ice and allow space for load
ing. 1t must be strongly built and
set where the wagons can get to 1t
without a sharp pull uphill. The in
cline from the platform to the pond
must be only wide enough to comfort
ably hold the cakes, with sides raised
four to six inches above the bottom.
The latter should be made of 2x3's
smooth on top, placed six inches apart
and three inches from the sides which
will make a chute 27 inches wide II
three pieces are used 1t must be Sc
cured firmly to the platform and
should extend far enough into the
water so the cakes OF ice can be
floated onto 1t.
Two men with push-andpull pixies,
SAYS the Farm and Home, will run a
lot OF ice from pond TO platform II
they have good footing and the chute
is not too steep. If much ice is to be
handled IL viii be necessary to use a
horse to pull 1t up. In this case a
rope attached to a grapple can be
used and three or four cakes pulled
I'D at a time.

The Beet Sugar Industry.

The sugar beet industry is slowly
making headway in the United States
A report by the United States depart
ment of agriculture shows that the
total number of factories operating In
1905 was 52, Four were idle during
the year, and in March, 1906, ~ fac
tories were in process of being built
The total number of acres of beets har
vested in 1905 was 100000 acres. The
average production per acre was S.61
tons. From these beets, over $4,000
tons Of sugar was produced. The aver
age sugar content of the beets was
1888 per cent, the average purity co
efficient 1896 the average length oi
the campaign was 76.6 days, and the

Churches Build Roads.

No part of the Perkjomen valley

the states good roads appropriation,
an energetic campaign for improved
highways has been opened in this vi

hearty cooperation, says the Philadel-

The members of the New Goshen
hoppen Reformed church, who want
the road from this borough to the

an agreement with the supervisors Of

Sources Of Alcohol.

Green corncobs from canning fac
tories offer possible source of mate
rial for denatured alcohol The de
partment of agriculture has succeeded
by simple methods Of fermentation In
getting II gallons of alcohol from a
ton of green cobs, and by similar meth
DDS in getting seven gallons from q
ton Of green cornstalks. This would
make the latter worth about 81 per ton
price which would leave little induce
ment to grow them for making alcohol
They are worth much more to put IN

FIGHTING WEEDS.
Methods by Which They May Be
Eradicated.

A writer in the Agricultural Epito-
mist suggests the following on fight.
ing weeds:
/. Practice rotation. Certain weeds
follow certain crops; when the weeds
get too strong, change crops.
2. Change the method OF cultivat.
Ing. Plow deeper or shallower or use
a different harrow or cultivator.
3. Cultivate frequently with light
surface tools.
4. Sow clean seed.
8. Don't let weeds run to seed on
the manure pile or anywhere else on
the farm.
6. Hogs and sheep will clean up the
weeds on foul fallow land. 1t is said
that a weed will not germinate after
a sheep has cropped it,

PRESERVED HER LANeUIp CALM.
True Aristocratic Indifference Shown
by New York Woman.

During the performance Of Martha"
at the Metropolitan opera house, in
New York, at time when Caruso was
caressing the top Of the proscenium
arch with his liquid notes, something
like a flash of white light shot from
one of the upper boxes of the orches-
ira. A lady in the box from which the
fash seemed to have started languidly
placed her hand TO her throat and sald
to a gentleman at her side:
How annoying!"
The gold fastening OF diamond
necklace she wore had parted, and
the string of gems, probably a score
of them, worth $4,000 or more, had
fallen into the lap of a lady in an
orchestra seat and thence to the floor.
The gentleman in the box, when the
situation was explained, calmly arose,
stepped to the rear, called an usher
and whispered some instructions to
him.
In the meantime the lady upon
whom the string of diamonds had de-
scended was following the perform
ance and the music.
To her came the usher, after an ap-
propriate interval. He inquired in
whisper II anything had dropped from
the boxes. The lady drew aside her
skirt and pointed to the necklace on
the floor. The usher picked II up. car
ried 1t back to the box and the Incl
dent was closed.
None had been disturbed save the
direct actors in the little side event,
and they made no noise. 1t was sim
ply an incident in life in New York.
1t couldn't happen anywhere else.

PEAS AS HUMUS.

As humus results from decomposed
organic matter, the rotting in the soil
of a crop of pea vines and their roots
plowed and worked up with IL accom-
plishes the humiication of the soil
The humus derived from rotted peas
Is peculiarly valuable as fertilizer
because these plants are naturally
rich in protein matter, the soil of
which is nitrogen. They therefore
give rich nitrogenous humus. To
emphasize this We have only to OBJ
serve that each 100 pounds of pea hay
would contain at least three times as
much nitrogen as 100 pounds of grain
straw. The humus resulting from a
decomposed pea crop therefore is three
times more valuable as a fertilizer
than that from grain and straw. The
grain straw has almost as much pot.
ash as the pea straw. but as we plow
in the pea pods as well, the peas may
be calculated to put more potash into
the humus than grain straw does.
AS regards phosphoric acid, the
amount found in the humus Of grain
straw is too slight to use for compari.
son, says Farmers Review. 1t is
right to note at this point that the
peas do not bring any potash or phos.
phoric acid to the orchards. as being
grown on the soil they must obtain
all their supply of these ingredients
from the soil, while the grain straw
being purchased from the outside
brings these mineral ingredients, par,
ticularly the potash, of grain fields to
the orchard.-Thomas c. Wallace.

Simple Marriage Ceremonies.

Among the Garos In India 1t is the
custom for the maiden to do the court

to marry the girl of his heart, but
after a great deal of pleading and

friends to come and make merry with

 Arizona Republican; J. E. Sur geon will today ship over the Southern Pacific to San Diego four ears of cattle from here and Phoenix. They go to the inde pendent firm of Burns & Company.
 Miner and Stockman: The im- portation of goat skins into the United States were valued at $3l,- 773,909 in the fiscal year 1906, showing that the use of these skins Is three times as great as ten years ago. India is the largest con- tributor of this important article of imports.
 Miner and Stockman: Late re- ports from the blizzard in south eastern New Mexico confirm the heavy losses of sheep and goats. Many of the latter had just been sheared. One man lost 2200 out of his flock of 2500 and others sus- tained proportional disaster Sew en or eight herders also lost their lives in the unexpected storm.
 Miner and Stockman: While heifers are merely growing they do very well on alfalfa alone, but as soon as they begin to give off fat in milk they are likely to become alfalfa-sick, common ailment in the alfalfa-d -dairying districts. There is not enough fat in alfalfa to sup ply the needs of these animals. Wherever alfalfa thrives 1t is the main food of dairy cows, but it should be supplemented with some thing else which is richer in fat and starch.
 Range News: A question often asked by feeders is what weight of cattle find most ready sale and sell to best advantage. As rule cattle weighing 1850 to 140C pounds are heavy enough for any purpose and during the hottest part of summer still lighter weights are preferred. Public taste ha: changed greatly in this respec during the last ten or fifteen year! and the big 1900 to 2000 pound over.ripe talIowy hulks of obesity that once commanded the admira ton of the ne plus ultra of bee production would not meet witt much consideration at the hands of the slaughterer or his clientage the great beef-eating public.

BANK STREET TROLLEY
Said That the Hellmann Brewing Co is Strongly
 Opposed to It.

Many and varied are tue sugses- tions that are being heard for the stIaightening out of the trolley mud dle because of the proposed lines in Robbins street and Town Plot. The residents of the latter section have not as yet given up hope and are still fighting with all their might. Still some people regard the efforts of the Brooklyn people as d joke and think that in the end all they will get is the 'ha, ha." It is said that another req son why no line will go up Bank street is because the Hellnann Brew ing Co is strongly opposed to such u ronte as it thinks there would Ee too much traffic near its building and gard The street is very narrow at this point and even as if is. the com pany's big wagOns have not any too much room to go and come with con- fort.
 The Town Plot people still have hope that even should She aldermen act favorably on the petition of the company to run line through Rob- bins street that Mayor ThOms would veto the measure. But these things make very little difference. for in all probability the company would imme- diately appeal to the railroad commis- sioners and the conditions would he discussed there. The fight neverths- less promises to he interesting.

COAL ON TRACKS
Pa.senger Trains Were Held Up
 For About an Hour.

A slight accident occurred on the Naugatuck railroad at S:15 o'clock his morning which delayed the regu- lar passenger trains about an hour and gave a gang of laborers an oppor- tunify to see how fast they could throw coal out of the way. A freight loaded with coal was coming into the local yard when the axle of one car snapped and upset thirty-three tons of the black stuff on the tracks just north of the West Main street cross- ing. There was nothing to do but turn in and toss it out of the way and it was caution to see how men pitched in and worked until the road was cleared. Aside from the delay, nothing worth noting happened al- though several people about town in sisted that the engine and all the cars got of the track and went through the ice on the canal.

HE WANTS THE TROLLEY.
 AIeriden, Ct, Jan 26, '06. Editor Democrat: s@. .-. Sir-Through the columns of your paper I learned of the efforts being made to induce the trolley company to extend its line up Bank street I am sorry to say I did not know of the meeting until too late to attend same. I am very much pleased to know that a start has been made to get the trolley extended to take in Ben Mohr. l have several building ,ots in that vii cinity and have been hoping that the trolley would be extended to Ben Mobr. Nothing can boom real estate in that vicinify or Town Plot but the trolley.
 Every taxpayer should remember that it is the greatest good for the greatest number
 Ii seems to me that the trolley cOm- pany should look at this improvement m favorable way. as it will be q pay ing investment for them and fill a long felt want in that vicinity. I will be glad to cooperate with the committee in any way possible in or der to hasten this matter to a success full end.
