The whole specimen is approximately a foot in height. The rinding surface, or tooth proper, Is plsndidly preserved The surface di- ns1sions are ten inches in length by
 five and one,half inches in width. The section of tusk is falling rapid ly 10 pieces but in outline is yet well cunpreseryed. It is eighteen inches in length and twenty-one inches in cir conference and must have been at leas, fourteen feet in length. These specimens may be seen at the above

MAKING ICE CREAM
PROCESS NOT DIFFICULT WITH
PROPER CARE.
Having c 'rrect Proportions Of Ice and
Salt is Neoessity--Freezino
Pot and Dssher Must BE
Kept Clean.

The Housekeeper repeats good ad.
vice in regard to making ice cream. 1t
10 not at all difficult to make good ice
cream if one is Just a little careful To
nave the ice and salt in correct pro-
portions and properly pounded. Time
Is not saved by using the ice in too
large pieces, as when IL Is coarsely
crushed IL takes the cream much
longer TO freeze. Both the ice and
salt should be finely crushed and each
layer PACKED down very firmly. One
part OF ice to three of salt is the usual
allowance. and ii is better to measure
both TO insure proper proportions.
ROCK salt is the best. although or.
binary barrel salt does very well and
Is more easily obtained in small places.
The freezing pot and dasher should
be thoroughly cleansed and sterilized
each time after IL has been used. and
again steriliZed just before il is to be
used again unless there has been q
very short interval between. Put the
freezer In position and place three.
inch layer of finely crushed ice i'm the
tub, cover with one of salt. and al.
ternate these layers, packing each
down har1. until the freezing mixture
is few inches above the. cream in the
can.
At first the crank should be turned
slowly, then, as the cream hardens
more rapidly. When IL becomes diff
hcult to turn remove the beater, and
stir the cream thoroughly with a
strong porcelain or granite spoon
Press ii smoothly down, cover. put a
cork in tie hole where the beater be
longs, remove the lower plug and draw
of the water. Pack as before with
fresh ice and salt, cover with a piece
OF blanket or carpet, and set aside for
an hour or longer to ripen. Three OF
four hours will not be too long.
The easiest way to break the ice Is
to put il in strong bag and pound II
vigorously with strong hammer OF
mallet. Ice cream may be made from
either cooked or uncooked mixture
For delicious uncooked ice cream
scald quart OF thin sweet cream and
dissolve in II / II cupfuls of sugar. ado
a quart of cold cream. two eggs vel
beaten and two tablespoonfuls o.
vanilla. Freeze and pack as directed
This is called Philadelphia ice cream
and Is often made without eggs.
