ICEHoUsE WALL.

ASAAAASSSAs
ice from melting is very great in all
ordinary icehouses, 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 MONDAY
sun by shade trees it will be found
to be of advantage. A low cost ice
house can be built with ordinary lum
ber and by any one handy with tools.
The essentials to be observed are:
First, drainage below and ventilation
above; second, perfectly tight foun-
dation. Warm air rises, and If cur
rent of warm air gets started through
the ice it will cause quick melting.
Third, a double wall surrounding the
ice on sides and top.
The foundation should be made of
brick, concrete or stone masonry, In
which sills 2 by should be bedded in
cement. On this erect by studding
twenty eight inches apart. On the in
side for the inner wall one-half inch
sheathing material may be used of al
most any kind of lumber Some dura-
BILE wood is to be preferred, as these
boards are apt to decay quickly. For
the outside good novelty siding may
be used. 1t should be free from knot
holes and cracks. The rafters should
be by 4, with sheathing on the under
side 1t is important to have plenty
of air space between the shingles and
sheathing beneath the rafters, as every
one knows how hot il gets under a
barn roof in summer. The space be-
tween the two walls on the four sides
may be left empty if the outer in
closure Is very tight, as a dead air
space is one of the best nonconductors.
But it will not be dead air space If
there are holes or cracks in the siding.
If the ground on which the house Is
situated is Of q gravefly. porous ma
ture no provision need be made for
drainage, as the water will be absorb
ed as fast as the ice melts. Otherwise
the floor should be graded of, so as to
slope to one point, where surplus not
ed may be taken of by means. of a
trapped outlet pipe to exclude all air
while allowing the water to escape.
The door opening of the house
should begin about four feet from the
ground and extend upward nearly, to
the top Of the roof. The. outer may
be made in two or three sections and
the inner inclosure supplied by boards
crosswise, put In ~. the ,house= Il. allied
and taken out as it "a .em1tied- IL Is
q mistake to proEide too much sentila'
ton. For an ordinary house one foot
square openings at each end under the
apex OF the roof are sufficient and It
would be OF adyantase 10 provide for

Corn Selection.

A steady increase In the number Of
ears per plant borne by Potter's Excel
sior sweet corn has resulted from Sc
lecdng seed with that end in view.
In 1901, the fourth year of the exper-
tment, but the first one in which suff-
GENTLY detailed records were kept to
show the percentages, only 35 per cent
Of the plants bore more than one ear.
In 1905 80 per cent bore more than one
ear, the highest number from single
plant being thirteen.
Selecting seed from the lower ear
produced on the stalk did not give as
good results as selection from the up
per ear, which is doubtless due to the
fact that such lower ears are often
poorly developed.-Rhode Island Ex-
pertinent Station.

Cautions. In Visiting siekreems.

Never venture into a sickroom if
you are in violent perspiration if
circumstances require you there, for
the, moment your body becomes cold
it is in a state likely to absorb the
Infection and give you the disease.
Never visit a sick person, especial
ly if the complaint be of a conta-
gious nature, with an empty stom-
ach, as this disposes the system
more readily to receive the conta-
gion. In attending sick person
place yourself where the air passes
from the door or window to the bed
of the diseased, not between the dis
eased person and any fire that is in
the room, as the heat of the fire
will draw the infectious vapor in
that direction, and you would run
much danger from breathing in it.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, October 4, 19O7.- Cattle supply this week is moderate for the season and the market has made slight advance. Stockers and feeders are lower last few days. but about equal to the close of last week. The Western Slope has been represented pretty we'll this week, killing steers selling at $4.65 and S4.75 for several different lots, cows S3.7O, Eastern Colorado killers $4 9, stockers $3.85, heavy calves $3.75 to $4.25, veals up to $500, Arizona stockers $3.50 to $3.S5, canners $230 to $2.5O. Receipts this week have been better dis tributed through the week than formerly, run 1000 here today, a heavy supply for Friday, and everything has been cleaned up good each day. Prospects favor moderate marketing through Octo- Der, and with the present strong demand prices will no doubt hold up good. Country buyers have been here for the last six weeks in larger numbers than ever before, and declines in this class have been only temporary at any time this fall. The com is very heavy ex- cept in isolated localities, which cuts no figures in the aggregate demand.
 Sheep supplies have been fairly good this week, but several thous- and short of the record run of last week. Prices advanced first of this week, and killers have re- mained steady today at range 10 to 25 cents above week ago, particularly on lambs, which bring lp to $7.45, but demand for feeders $ weaker than 1t has been running, prices off 10 to 25 cents this week. Killing wethers and yearlings are worth S5.25 to $580, ewes $4 90 to S5.35, feeding wethers and year. ings $500 to $5.90, lambs $6.25 to '6.75, ewes $500 to $5.75.

 the water is' kept standing at ;
 depth of between one and si, ! inches for period varying iron
 ninety to one hundred and fv, days At that time the flow of tho water Is suspended, and the grair IS allowed to ripen, when it if harvested, the harvest coming ir May or June.
 Harvesting the grain is done with a self binder, from which the bundles are shocked, and then stacked, as is the case with wheat. Threshing is done with regular steam thresher, fitted with special concaves, and the straw is carried away from the machine with an air blast stacker. The rough rice goes from the threshing machine to the mill, where the hulls are removed, and the rice polished and prepared for market. In the mill the rice. goes through thirteen diff ferent processes. It is first run through burr stones which are adjusted so they crack the hull only. Then it passes through three different hulling machines, each of which removes part of the hulls, which are saved, for they are valuable by product.
 With the hulls removed the grains then go to the polishers, several in number, which remove gradually the envelope of the kernel of each grain. These envelopes are saved also, for they are likewise valuable as a by product. The envelopes are very nutritious, ard mixed with the hulls, chopped fine, they make a combination that is very fattening, fed to dogs and cat tie.
 From the polishers the grains go to the separators, where the broken kernels are taken out, and those are saved also, and are mixed gen. orally with the feed made by the combination of the hulls and en- velopes.
 From the separators the polished | kernels go to the graders, which grade them into various sizes. Then the various grades are treated in cleaners, which are revolving leather boxes, wherein there are put with the rice little talcum powder and parra6ne, the kernels with the beautiful, brill ant, glossy white of the rice of It is stated that under he pure food law in the United Stated the last process is prohib- ted; but without 1t the rice is not near so attractive in appearance, md when cooked it is not of that nowy, fiaky whiteness so much admired. In fact it is dull, or white, that is very un- satisfactory in appearance. In Texas and Louisiana the rice are owned and operated lsually by men or corporations, Vho either buy the rough rice, or 10 the work at stipulated price 'er bushel. The prices paid at the nill vary from $4 per sack. Where the milling is done on the , account the price is forty I ents per bushel. For each sack , f rough rice, weighing about ITO C ounds, the farmer receives about { % pounds of cleaned rice from a he mill, together with the hulls, a nvelopes and broken rice. | L T. i.

In the lower Yaqui valley some
 of the Chinese who have cultivated
 land have raised rice successfully
 and have found the crop very
 profitable, and Mir. John H. Ed
 mondson, gentleman from Okla
 homa, who has had long experience
 in rice culture in Texas, states that
 he considers the Yaqui delta an
 ideal location for it's successful and
 profitable cultivation. Mir. Ed
 mondson has shown his faith in his
 belief by leasing a tract of land
 under the canal which he will cult
 iyate@ in rice the coming season;
 and for the season of 1909 he will
 raise crop upon the land he has
 bought which is nearer to the gulf,
 and will he covered by the exten-
 sion of the canal in time for irrig-
 ation in that season. The gentle
 man believes that the profits of rice culture in the Yaqui delta will be far greater than in Texas and Louisiana, where fortunes have been made within a few years since 1900, for 1t was not until that year that the gulf coast lands, considered worthless before that time, were demonstrated to be val uable for that purpose.
 As described by Mir. Edmondson the method employed in the culture and preparing rice to market is very interesting. The planting season Is in the month of January, but the work of preparation is be- gun in December, when the land is plowed and thoroughly pulver- ized. Then there is thrown up with blow, on the lower edge of the ground to be seeded, low levee about six inches in height. With that raised the water Is turn ed in and continued until its sur face stands about level with the height of the levee. The blow is again called into acquisition and a contour of the same height as the levee is thrown up along the edge cf the water, when the water is turn ed in again, and allowed to reach the top of the contour. Again the water is shut of, another contour thrown up, and the water turned in to fill it. This is repeated until -he entire field is put under water to the required depth. Sometimes he services of an engineer are en- Jaged and the lines for the contours 'un and plowed up before the water 5 turned in, but the way described will suffice, and the engineer is not Q be had always. The spaces be. ween the contours are called 'cuts," because in the harvest sea- on the harvester makes it's rounds the limits of the contours 'n each side of one of the spaces nclosed.
 With the cuts flooded the water | 5 drawn off or permitted to soak nto the ground, when the land is eeded. The seed is the trough" C ice-that which has not been C Iulled. To each three acres there l re planted one sack of the seed, 7hich is about four bushels. t
 Within five or six days after e lanting the young plants have prouted and grown to the top of t he contours, when the water is a
