COLD WEATHER GIVES
FINE ICE HARVEST
Streams Are Now Covered With Cry
staI Coating 10 Inches Thick, and
Cutting Begins.

The continued cold has developed
fine ice fields on the streams here, and
the different dealers are beginning to
harvest their annual supply. Today the
Union Ice & Coal company put force
of men at work at their Rock river
fields. and work will soon be begun at
East Moline also The ice is now be-
tween 8 and 10 inches thick. The I'm
ion company expects to harvest about
$4,000 tons, and most of this will be
stored at Silvis The company put be-
tween 200 and 500 men at work today.
The Sylvan Ice company of Moline
and the Channel Ice company also be-
gan cutting today in the river above
Moline. The Sylvan company will cut
5000 tons at the Moline fields, and
in a like amount at the Watertown
field. where work will begin in a few
fdays. The Channel company will cut
between $4,000 and 10000 TONS
Ice men state that the ice this year
/, is of exceptionally fine quality. and
, there is every indication that the har-
ivest will be sufficient for all demands
There does not appear to be any rea
son why the dealers should next
| season make the advance in prices that
have been made every year for some
| time.

When fowls crow at night, which is
the fact when the number quartered is
greater than the capacity Of the house,
they sweat. This sweating causes the
feathers to rot at the base, giving them
the very appearance of molting. This
explains why SO many flocks look
ragged In early summer
1t is noted fact that the majority
Of cases where roup has become cpl
demtc among fowls the latter were
crowded in tightly-built houses when
the weather is very cold and allowing
the houses to remain closed all the next
day. This creates a moisture which
generates dampness, and the whole
house feels very much like vault. At
night the house Is more or less filed
with dampness emanating from the
fowls breath, but if, on the following
morning, the windows are opened wide.
this dampness will be dispelled. This
is great point in favor of the scra tch-
ing shed plan of house.

at is a common cause Of complaint
against English people, and English men
in particular, that they cannot let them
selves 20, or in other words that they
cannot frivol and play the fool, says
The Lady's Pictorial. There is nothing
SO good for the individuals spirits and
the nations gayety as to be childish on
occasion and foolishly young.
"On the continent they consider the
best means to this end is to don domin-
oes and false noses and blow penny
trumpets, dance in the open air, and so
on. In England we do none of these
things and, SO we are told. more's the
pity.
desperate efforts are now being made
to correct this mistake on our part. Lon
don is now a gay city; we are making
the most of our restaurants, the cafe IS
creeping into favor, we are no longer so
chary about decorating our houses and
making q brave show when we get
chance Of organizing q procession.
There are signs and tokens that the
carnival spirit hovers over US. The art
lists fancy ball idea has been warmly
taken up, the roller skating carnival at
Olympia, to whom none are admitted
who are not in fancy dress, has found
favor in the sight of the public, and this
year the restaurants made merry at Mar
di Gras dinners.
"By all means let US make more of
Shrove Tuesday. 1t is a day for frivol-
ling across the channel Let us frivol
here. We have seen how the Christmas
parties organized by foreign managers
of our big hotels are enjoyed by the
stolid English, and without doubt if we
are shown how to keep Shrove Tuesday
in continental fashion we shall not now
be slOwy to enter into its spirit. We are
learning the pleasures and ignoring the
Stiffness and childishnes of dressing up
we are discovering the art of frivolling.

FOundcred Horses.

A. S. Alexander, veterinary surgeon,
eXplodes the old idea that horse can
become "chest-foundered He says
that such cases are those suffering
from chronic founder 0aminitis) ;,
which affects the feet and not the chest
In Outstanding cases of foot lameness
the chest muscles may waste away in
sympathy, and that fact has led to
the "chest founder" idea. Such horse
should be shod with wide-webbed, fat
bar shoes, put on over dressing of tar
and oakum, and a thick leather sole.
Then clip off the hair and blister the
hoof heads (coronets) of forefeet with
a mixture Of one dram of biniodide of
mercury and two ounces of cerate of
cantharides rubbed in for fifteen min
utes. Wash blister off in forty-eight
hours, then apply lard daily. Blister
