With the icehouse over the cool room

provided over the dairy room, if that
is desired. With such a plan the barn
on the north end and on the east side
would be. entirely below the ground
for the first story to the south of the
driveway. The COW stable would be
above ground so as to have easy &C.

ter to adopt the same general floor
plan, but to widen the back end of
the building so as to drop the ice
house in between the dairy room and
cool room and the root cellar so that
one side of the icehouse could be
brought against the cool room, and it
would probably be better to make the
floor of the dairy room and cool room
far enough below the bottom of the
icehouse so that the drainage from
the icehouse and cold air from it can
be taken into the cool room. The
wall of the root cellar may be made
common to the stable and the cellar
and this portion of the wall need not
be hollow, as the necessary warmth
would be provided for by contact with
the stable, so the wall between the
root cellar and the cool room need
not be hollow, but if the icehouse is
dropped down so as to stand between
the root cellar and the cool room
the icehouse wall would have to be
hollow all around except on the side
adjacent to the cool room, which
would need to be solid for its cooling
effect on the room.

AN ICE HOUSE FOR FARM.
When Planning II, Be Sure and Don't
Get 1t Too Small.

The farmer in planning his ice
house should not make the mistake
in building too small, especially If he
lives in my locality, excepting the
extreme northern states. It Is not so
much a question OF how much ice he
needs for family use, but how much
is going to waste and whether 1t will
last through the hot season until cool
weather arrives again. A large block
of ice will last much longer relatively
than one somewhat smaller Fifteen
feet square on the outside should be
about the size to build an ice house
for the farm. Allowing IL feet for
the space between the two walls and
the space between the inner wall and
the ice, this will give block of ice
IL feet square and if it is IL feet high
it will contain theoretically SO tons,
but in practice not more than 40 to
45 tons, according to how closely it
is laid. The loss of ice from melting
is very great in all ordinary ice
houses, and especially is this true
where it is taken out daily in such
small pieces as is usually the case.
The house should be built above
ground and if it can be placed where
it will be protected from the noon
day sun by shade trees, it will be
found to be of advantage, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. A low cost ice
house can be built with ordinary
lumber and BY any one handy with
tools. The essentials to be observed
are: First, drainage below and ven
tilation above second, a perfectly
tight foundation. Warm air rises and
if current of warm air gets started
through the ice it will cause quick
melting. Third, q reasonably double
wall surrounding the ice on sides and
top.
The foundation should be made Of
brick, concrete or stone masonry, and
in which sills 2xS should be bedded
in cement. On this erect 2xS studding
"a inches, apart. On the inside for
the inner wall 1a-inch sheathing mate
rial may be used of almost any kind
to be preferred, as these boards are
apt to decay quickly. For the out
side good novelty siding may be used.
1t should be free from knotholes and
cracks. The rafters should be 2x4, with
sheathing on the underside. 1t is i'm
portant to have air space between
shingles and sheathing beneath the
rafters, as everyone knows how hot it
gets under a barn roof in summer. The
space between the two walls on the
four sides may be left empty if the
outer inclosure is very tight, as a dead
air space is one of the best nonconduc-
tors. But it will not be a dead air
space if there are holes or cracks in
the siding, but the air will circulate
and prove of little value as a noncon-
ductor.
If the ground on which the house is
situated is OF a gravelly, porous ma
ture, no provision need be made for

TREATMENT OF CALF scouRs
Prof. r. s. Shaw Gives His Remedy
for the Alment.

There are some interesting things
IN connection with that, for instance
with calf scours. Those side issues
are being worked out very carefully.
) might throw out this suggestion
that If you have trouble of that kind
with calves, one of the best things
we have used and are using almost
altogether with which to suppress
outbreaks of calf scours, is mixture
of tincture of rhubarb, camphor and
opiate, equal parts in hot water
about teaspoonful. One of the most
interesting recoveries have ever seen
was about three weeks ago in the
case of calf that secured and was
so near death the feet were stretched
out cold and stiff, and there was
every symptom of death. The calf
was treated III that way twice, then
was fed with raw eggs and milk occa.
sionally and he recovered. He was
the sickest calf / ever saw, so sick
his hair all came off after week or
ten days, but he is one of the best
feeders we have in the bunch today.

SEEK TO WIN SOLDIERS.
Russian Girls Risk Life for the Cause

When the university opened last

of the means Is to talk freedom di-
rectly to the soldiers. For this girls

are more willing to listen to girls,
and are far reader to protect them

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
qist in Your Town and Shake
Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, IL taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any. dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription If asked to.
