 For time other buildings were threatened and it was feared the whole square might be swept The wind. however, was blowing from the South, and this aided in the fight against the encroachment of the flames. A high and effective lire wall between the Racket Store and San ders' store saved the latter and other buildings near by.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Eminent Lawyer and statesman.
Senator Philander Chase Knox Of
Pennsylvania, who Is slated for secre-
tary Of state in the Taft cabinet, has
been a prominent figure in national
affairs for the past decade. Before
that he had rpm eminence at the bar.
his skill and learning in corporation
law bringing both wealth and fame.
II feel that I am to be congratulated
In obtaining the services Of Senator
Knox In my cabinet" said Judge Taft
In making the announcement. I'm Sc
lecting a secretary Of state 1 wanted
first a great lawyer and second a man
who would not only. here, but abroad,
stand out pre-eminently as a great
American.
According to a story that is told, an
old lady at Brownsville, Pa, the place
where Mr.. Knox was born in 1853,
thinks she laid for Knox the founda-
ton of his millions. The elder Knox
was a banker, but the sons allowance
was never SO large that he spurned
an opportunity to add a dollar or
two.
The first dollar, a silver "cart wheel"
he ever earned was by digging pota-
toes for the old lady. That was dur
ing the civil war. and silver dollars
were not a familiar sight then even to
the son of a banker. Congressman
Ernest F. Acheson, who represents the
district IN which Brownsville is stu
ated, says the old lady told him that
when Philander got 1t he looked at 1t,
dumfounded, and remarked, II didn't
know anybody in the world had as
much money as that"
Senator Knox entered President Nc
Kinley's cabinet as attorney general
In 1901. He was reappointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, but resigned in 1904 to
take the seat in the senate left vacant
by the death of NJ. 8. Quay. He was
elected to that seat in 1905. Last sum-
mer Senator Knox was a candidate
for the presidential nomination before
the Republican convention.

ICE AND MILK HOUSE COMBINED

man who keeps about twenty COWS
and sells the milk an icehouse IA by II
by IL feet high is of sufficient size.
However, in no case should an ice
house be smaller than II by 12 by 10
feet high, because the outside surface
is too great compared with the volume,
and therefore too much ice is wasted
in proportion to the amount used.
In the plans submitted the frame
work is made by laying by sill on
the concrete foundation. Fasten this
to the foundation by cementing few
bolts into the concrete and allowing
them to extend through the . by 1 sill.
Two by four studding is then placed
upon this sill sixteen inches apart from
center to center. The rafters for the
roof are likewise made of . by As,
placed the same distance apart as the
studding, but the purlin plate upon the
. by studding should be at least six
inches wide. The outside of studding
may be boarded either with common
sheeting and paper, upon which poplar
siding is nailed, or with patent siding
or ship lap siding, the latter being the
! cheapest and requiring only single
thickness Of board.
The roof should be made with not
less than one-half to one-third pitch
and preferably covered with shingles,
for shingles are better insulators than
either slate or metal. However, paper
may sometimes be used to good ad-
vantage. A cupola or fue should be
built upon the roof to allow for the
removal Of the warm air from the top
Of the ice. The ventilatOr may be
placed in the gable end instead Of the
cupola and when so placed acts for
the same purpose.
A continuous door should be cut In
one end to allow the ice to be put in
This door may extend from the gable
down to within five feet of the bottom
In the cut, ice and milk house com
bined, the side elevation shows how
the scheme has the advantage Of utiliz
ing the water from the icehouse here
shown for cooling the milk. No ice
needs to be removed from the fee,
house. 1t operates automatically. II
the weather is warm the ice melts
more rapidly and keeps water in the
tank at the required temperature.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-01-13

understanding of the construction of
an icehouse a minimum amount of
meltage can be obtained. The waste
from the bottom is generally consid-
cred to be the greatest. The amount
Of ice melted in the bottom Of the ice
house varies from one to six feet dur
ing the year, depending upon the con-
struction of the floor. If the icehouse
is provided with an air tight floor with
the ice laid on at least eighteen inches
of dry sawdust, the bottom waste rare
ly exceeds twelve inches during the
year. On the other hand, If the ice is
piled in the icehouse on the bare
ground without any insulation under it
or any provision made for drainage
the meltage frequently is six feet.
The side and top meltage is not so
great. but it frequently ranges from
one to three feet. depending upon the
insulation. The manner of insulation
Is shown in the cut Of cross section
of icehouse.
The icehouse should be located in
the coolest place possible and always
above ground. The size of the build
ing must be determined by the amount
of ice used during the year. For a

HOW TO SELECT THE LAYERS

A hens capacity is born with her

But it is said the Asiatics only av-
erage 1S0 to 200 each and the Amer
lean 175 to 200 and the Mediterranean
1S0 to 200 eggs per year, and a gov

lays but sixty eggs per annum.
An informant states that breeding
