Combined Icehouse and Cool Room.

and the cooling effect is secured
through the metal combined ceiling
and floor upon which the ice rests and
melts, and against which the air of
the cool room comes and is cooled. AS
represented in the illustration, eX-
plains Rural New Yorker, the ice is
stacked at a distance from the
walls; the space between is filled with
sawdust, and the top of the ice mass
covered with it. This arrangement
allows the ice to melt away at the bot
tom, giving it's cooling effect to the
room below, the sawdust settling as
the ice melts, but keeping it continu-
ously covered and excluded from the
surrounding walls so that neither air
currents nor direct radiation can be eff
fective in melting the ice.
Where a lower temperature is desired
in the cool room the walls of the ice
house may be given the same type of
construction as is illustrated for the
cool room referred to above. With
this construction the sawdust used be-
tween the ice and the walls would be
placed permanently within the walls,
and tight ceiling would be provided
to be covered with sawdust or some
other equally good non-conductor of
sufficient depth to protect the ice
against the radiation of heat through
the roof With this construction the
icehouse would be filled as full as
practicable with the ice and the floor
ceiling constructed in a manner which
would permit of a free circulation of
air between the cool room and the ice
chamber. Such a circulation can
readily be secured by leaving a long
narrow opening, two or three inches
wide, along two opposite sides, thus
connecting the cool room with the ice
chamber above. With such provi-
sion the air it warns in the cool room
would become lighter, and rise into the
| ice chamber, to be cooled and have its
moisture condense upon the ice to be
| carried away in the drainage with the
| melting ice. Such construction as this
would provide more rapid movement
of air, bringing it in contact with a
larger surface of ice, and thus main
tain the temperature Of the cool room
at lower degree than would be pos
sible with the CONSTRUCTION represented
| In the illustration. But to maintain
this lower temperature the ice cham
Der, as already stated, would be re
quired to contain larger mass of ice
1t would be necessary also to con
struct both ice chamber and cool room
with walls thoroughly air-tight and o.
the best insulating materials.

FARM Ard COLLEGE, TOO.
Practical knowledge More Essential
Than the Theoretical.

The city man who buys a farm and
tries to run it for profit learns more
about the business side of farming
than he could learn in six years at an
agricultural college. We talked with
such man the other day. Why"
said he, II had no idea it required so
much thought to run a farm" He had
the idea which many people get that
about all you had to do was to put
the seed in the ground and let it gro
to the harvest. This man is a manu-
facturer, and can figure ahead def
nitely on the wood and metal which he
uses. He finds there is no such GER
tainty on the farm, for there he Is
dealing with living materials which are
changed and affected by dozens of
things which cannot touch his manu-
featuring business. %That man has
gained great respect for farmer who
can make a home and raise a family
on the income from farm. If we had
more of this sort of education, says
the Rural New Yorker, town and city
people would soon realize what they
owe to the farm and the farmer.

The city had had an attack of
morality and all gaming houses and
bookmaking offices were closed up as
closes the clam. Cities have these
spasms as man has the collie. The
one stops gambling and the other
eschews cucumbers-for while.
A certain firm of bookmakers did
not resign themselves to the fiat OF
the law. They procured copy of the
edict and scrutinized it as they were
wont to examine the program for, the
days races. They discovered in the
statute an aperture through which
they could drive the metaphorical
horse and wagon. The law forbade
bookmaking save on race courses
where races were being run. Straight
way they leased for song disused
half-mile track near the city, ran two
plugs over it every day for purse of
five dollars and made books on every
race from Sheepshead Bay to the Pa
cific coast. If the law frowned that's
all 1t could do.
The peaceful little village wherein
was the race course became trans
formed. Farmers studied dope sheets
as they guided the plow and talked
knowingly of mud-larks and cinches.
Everybody became a sporting man
and among them David Cobb, the viii
lage carpenter.
Cobb was sore smitten with the bet
ting disease. 1t would have puzzled
him to try to name the boundaries of
his state, but he knew the pedigree of

The Trunk of the Elephant.

The long trunk of the elephant is
very, very wonderful. The neck of
four-footed animals is usually long, to
enable them to reach their food with
out difficulty; but the elephant has
a short neck to enable him more easi-
ly to support the weight of his huge
head and heavy tusks. The long trunk
helps him to get his food, and the
trunk is to an elephant what long
neck is to other animals.

DO NOT USE RAW MUCK.
Apt to Cause the Land to Grow Coarse
Grass and Weeds.

AS bearing upon the question of the
use of muck, would like to quote the
saying of man to me, many years
ago, who knew what he was talking
about. 1t was this: mo one ever
realizes his expectation in the use of
muck" 1t is an easy fever" to get,
and had it at the time. writes a
correspondent of Rural New Yorker.
The point l wish to call attention to
is concerning the applying of fresh
dug muck direct to the land. 1t seems
to me that it should never be done,
but thrown out for the action of frost
or to be we'll treated with lime. 1t
came under my observation many
years ago, where great quantities OF
muck were applied to land. The farm
adjoined that of the man from whom
| quoted, and, If | remember rightly,
his was in the same condition, viz,
that 1t brought in a great variety OF
coarse grasses and weeds, so that the
land was spoken of as being ruined
| saw the wild grasses growing, and
It was an object lesson was not likely
to forget. 1t seems to me that 1t is
welf for us sometimes to profit by
others experience.

The design of an icehouse and cool
room shown herewith has in view a
minimum consumption of ice with a
cool room maintained in the neighbor-
hood of 40 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
If a lower temperature than this is
desired a somewhat different construc-
ton than this must be adopted and a
larger volume of ice stored, with
which to maintain the lower tempera-
ture. In the icehouse whose construc-
ton is illustrated, the ice chamber is

Americans Spending Less in Paris.

AHlcTiCdnS oPCnuin9 LcSS III FdTISs
American travellers abroad, upon re-
turning home, are reporting with
greater frequency that they have been
advised by American consular repre-
sentatives to save their money and
buy at home. A few years ago a con-
sui who took any interest in American
affairs except politics and his salary
was rarity. In Paris alone American
importations during the past year
were $21 100000 less than in 1907. At
that they amounted to more than $42,-
100000. There were two other con
tributing causes to the fall in Paris
sales to Americans, the financial de-
preston and the fact that London is
rapidly taking the place of Paris as
the great European market for Ameri

the road for we owe two months" and
she held up two ten-dollar notes.
This was an unwise move. An old
saw sayeth, "let sleeping dogs lie" and
it might be applied to recumbent hus-
bands. The sight of those two ten
dollar notes acted on the raw nervous
system of Mr.. Cobb as might a gal
vanic battery. He sprang from the
bed and snatching the notes closed
them up in his hand.
Then Mrs. Cobb executed diplo-
matte movement worthy of Talleyrand.
She caught her husbands clothes
that were on a chair and clasped them
each other.
In the meantime the truculent man
was knocking at the front door.
"Open the door and come upstairs"
called Mrs. Cobb to the truculent man
from the window.
Mr. Cobbs eyes roved around the
room. He heard the front door open
and then he stopped and passed
through the window onto the porch
roof He let himself down from the
spouting and dropped to the ground
He speeded for the betting room clad
in his night shirt.
Stop him." screamed Mrs. Cobb to
the truculent man, he's got your

The truculent man dashed after the

However, Mr.. Cobb had too good a
lead, besides he was dressed or rather
undressed for running and he entered
the betting room door fully three
lengths ahead of the truculent man.
Reaching the desk Mr.. Cobb saw that

but little time.

Then Mr.. Cobb changed into dane

the bookmaker.
Mr.. Cobb received $3.50. He handed
500 to the truculent man with the
mien of Roman conqueror dividing
up captured kingdom. He tossed $50

put the balance in his own pocket but
