IcEHoUsE AND COOL ROOM.
Arrangement by Which Two Can Be
 Successfully Combined.

In the accompanying illustration Is presented the construction for a small icehouse, with cool room un- derneath it which Is 9x9 feet square on the inside and 61a feet from the floor to the ceiling. The outside di- mensions of the building are 12x12, with the ice chamber 11x11 and or g feet from floor to plate. The plan contemplates storing the ice in a compact mass, 9x9 feet, direct ly over the cool room, construct ing the bottom of the ice cham Der and the ceiling of the cool room in such a manner that the air in the cool room will have its tempera- ture controlled by convection currents, the warm air rising to the ceiling of the cool room, coming in contact with the floor of the ice chamber, which Is made water-tight and of good con ducting material.
 The walls of the cool room are Is inches thick. A suitable masonry foundation, as represented, should be laid, the ground covered with about

sILAGE FOR THE DRY COW.
It Will Prove Profitable by Keeping
 Animal In Condition Until Fresh.

Any farmer will admit that the COW In milk will be benefited by silage, but many do not recognize its impor- tance for the dry COW, says a writer in KimbalRs Dairy Farmer. If you still cling to the old-fashioned method of dairying which finds the cows dry at Christmas time but fresh in March or April, you need silage almost as much as if you were milking the cows when the profits are greatest .
 The COW that is going to give a good yield throughout the whole period of lactation must begin that period in good condition. The best way to get her In that condition is to feed her st. lage during the winter months. So you see you need a silo just as much when your COWS are dry in the winter as you do when they are being milked in the winter.
 You need a silo, anyway, concludes this writer, and you are standing in your own light as long as you do not build one.

against the wall of the ice chamber and out through the roof, opening into the cool room at the ceiling. A corresponding opening in the wall of the cool room opposite the ventilator should be made in order to allow air from the outside to enter. Both the ventilator and the intake should be provided with close working dampers so that only enough air Is allowed to circulate to keep the air sufficiently dry.

The Average Cow.

The average COW on the American farm produces only about 150 pounds of butter per year. That will hardly pay for her food and care. The gov ernment report shows an even lower average, but it is fair to assume that some improvement has been made since the last report by tho govern. ment.

Iowa, renowned the country over as a premier agricultural state, has bro ken all records the past year in the matter of the combined value of her agricultural and live stock production, the grand total aggregating a tr!fe over $1,0OO,O 100000. Technically Iowa is not known as gold producing state, yet the value of the products directly traceable to the stirring of her soil amounts to more than the value of the output of all the gold mines on the American continent. There are a num- Der of states that are but a short dis tance behind Iowa in the measure of credit which they merit for adding to the enormous wealth of the country.

 MIXTURE
To Overcome Rheumatism.

There is so much Rheumatism here in our neighborhood now that the follow ing advice by an eminent authority, who writes for readers of a large East ern daily paper, will be highly appreci. ated by those who suffer:
 Get from any good pharmacy one. half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa- rilla. Shake these well in bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime; also drink plen- ty of good water.
 It is claimed that there are few vic tins of this dread and torturous dis ease who will fail to find ready relief in this simple homemade mixture, and in most cases a permanent cure is the result.
 This simple recipe is said to strength en and cleanse the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons, acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffer from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mixture, as it is certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suffering after while.
 Our home druggists say they will either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription ready to take it if our readers ask them.

TvHE reasons why the
 one hundred or
 more travelling
 representatives of the
 leading investment houses only scratch the surface of the invest
 m ent business are many. The most im- portant reason is be- cause these saiesmen don't see the people who at the present time, in the aggregate, have the most money to invest.
 The usual schedule of these Salesmen, bond men as they are called, is, we will say, to spend one day In Hartford, see the pres idents of the banks and other financial institutions, and pOSSi- ply a few large investors, one day each in Springfield, Pittsfield, Bridgeport, New Haven, Water bury and Norwich, and then con- Sider that they have covered the investment situation in Southern and Western New England. Sometimes as many as ten bond SaleSmen call on one bank preSi-
 dent in a single day.
 This condition of affairs is an Illustration of miSdirected ener- 8ieS when we consider that the largest amount of money to be invested in this section Is in the hands of the small, individual in- veStorS, the thrifty men and women of New England who work and save.
 To prove this, will give you the actual figures next week. Thomas C. Perkins Conn. Mutual Building Hartford, Conn.

STUCK IN A SNOWBANk,-MAf
 BRING SUIT AGAINST THE
 TOWN OF WASHINGTON.
 On the last Saturday of the Old Year, the editor of The Bee and "Dea" Frank Brown, started out for little drive behind Mir Browns fast horse "Philo- sopher," combining business with pleasure. All went lovely till shortly after noon. In turning up the road leading to Henry Frisbie's, after pass ing the Roxbury line, they suddenly encountered snow blockaded road. The newspaper man started up the road to investigate, and came back with the good news that they might possibly get through. By this time the rain began to fall heavily, which did not add to "Dea" Browns good na- ture or happiness. Standing up in the wagon the deacon started to drive over the drifts, but in twinkling of an eye the carriage had sunk to the hubs and the horse was fast. Unfortunate ly we had no phonograph present to re- cord Dea Browns remarks, but they were to the point, sure enough! On one side was an embankment that could not be scaled. On the other a nine-foot barbed wire fence and noth- ing to cut it with. Law abiding citi- zens that we were, the fence would have been cut quicker than you could

have said "Jack Robinson" but the tools were missing. What shall we do, !" walled Dea Brown. T guess we had better unhitch the horse and get the carriage turned around said the newspaper man, as he took off his coat and tossed 1t on to snow bank. It was no easy task, but after much pulling and tugging and an occasional discharge of birthstone language from "Dea' Brown, the deed was done and faithful Philosopher" drew the car riage back down the road out of the snow. The journey was then taken up another way, via the main Roxbury road to Sherman Hartwell's, where the gentlemen were hospitably entertained and dried themselves off beside roar ing fire. As Selectman Aspinwall is a mild-mannered gentleman, noted for his fairness and honesty, he will be quick to pay the bill these two gentle men may present. If'they should re- tain Gruber, Black & Bonynge of New York City in addition to Judge Beech CT, Judge Hubbard and Judge Addis, there would be something doing in Judge Hollister's court. In order that MT Aspinwall may settle without suit, bill of damages is here, append ed:
 Damage to "Dea Browns"
 feelings, S4.S9 Loss of time to both gentlemen, 5.25 Damage to Dea Browns Wag-
 on, .61 Damage to the celebrated
 horse. Philosopher, 2.S9 Loss of pair of rubbers owned
 by Dea Brown. .S5 For opening 100 feet blockaded
 road, 2.25
 This of course is a very modest bill. Checks. money orders or gold will be accepted. At any rate we hope Mir will take care and open the roads. It will be cheaper than to stand law suits in the long end. Don't you think so, Miles?
