Cooling Without Ice.

Those who live in the rural districts
and small villages often encounter
hardships during the hot summer
months, where they are compelled to
do without ice. Often much food is
spoiled that could have been saved
with ice, or some other method for
keeping same cool. A device such as
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton may be installed, either in new
or an old house, at slight expense, and
will afford most all the benefits de-
rived from the ice chest and ice.

ever size suits your needs or fancy.

The excavation should extend several
feet below the floor of same; if there

BOTH SKINNED BY MIDDLEMAN
q. r. Yoakun1 Tells Farmers How
They and Consumer Get Worsted
at Hands of Dealer

Excessive profit taking by middle
men was the reason assigned for
high prices OF foodstaffs BY b. f..
Yoakum. chairman Of the Frisco sys.
TEN. in an address the other day be-
fore the national convention of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive union At St Louis
He declared the heavy reductions In
freight rates OF the last few years
had been absorbed by the dealers, and
not shared IN by the farmers or con
sumers.
Better marketing methods We're ad-
vanced as a means by which farmers
would get better prices for the food
they raise and at the some time low
er figures would be given consumers.
The most important force for the
welfare OF the nation will come when
the land owners of America are or
gained, said Mr. Yoakam. 1T is
not prices received by farmers which
make living expenses high. but the
profits of the dealers handling the
food between the farmer and the con
sumner.
The Florida farmer receives s225
for a bushel OF green peas. the rail-
road gets SO cents for the s00.mille
haul to New York. and the consumer
pays $40 for this same bushel OF
beans There Is 30 per cent for the
grover. eight per cent for the carrier,
and 81 per cent. for the dealer. This

Set the other man an example.

Set the other man an example.
Constant fault-fnding never mended
anything.
This world is not going to be any
better than you are.
Faith and ingenuity often take the
place of the hired man.
If you don't do your part how can
you expect others to do theirs?
Farmers should raise their own
horses instead of buying them.
The less a man knows of himself
the more he thinks of himself
A boy is the only animal that Is
supposed to thrive on discourage
ment
A big barn and stingy little house
are unmistakable signs OF an unhappy
home life.
Why IS it when a young man gets
matrimonial cold feet his girl gives
him the mitten?
The one thing that we don't care
whether a man pays back or not is
borrowed trouble.
1t is all right to read books and
farm papers. but man can get much
solid information by studying his own
farm.
Plant crops for soiling. Your work
animals and milk cows will need
green food this spring. Oats, wheat
or rye will serve this purpose. Or
plant sorghum, millet or corn.
Instead of increasing the number of
acres in cotton. increase the number
of animals, and the number of acres
planted in forage crops. BY doing this
you viii increase your earning power
on the farm.
Now is the time to guard against
mosquitoes and flies. Clean up the
yard. barn lot and chicken house.
Sprinkle quicklime freely over the
floors OF cellars and chicken house
Drain off all surplus water to prevent
mosquitoes

American Cotton in India.

According to Consul Stuart X. Lup-
ton of Karachi, India. the deputy
director Of agriculture in Sind, states
that American cotton seed was tried
in several places in that district OF
India last season with good results.
The average yield is SIS to GEO pounds
per acre. rather more than the indt
genous cotton, while the staple is at
least half an inch longer 1t Is sup.
posed that cultivation will be extend.

June. the best time of the year from

Soil deficient in humus is of little

Humus benefits the soil in many
ways.
1t makes soil looser. lighter, thus

1t is valuable in sandy soil. as Il

1t changes minerals that are In the

II holds nitrogen in the soil and
nitrogen is the most valuable ingredi-
ent in the soil and the costliest TO buy

enables the humus to get deeply into
the soil, where the long roots will get
the greatest benefit from 1t.
On some desert lands, the first
thing to be done is TO get crop

Feeding Ewes at Lambins Time.

According To estimates made by the
Virginia experiment station. over 8
per cent of the lambs born in that
state last year died because their
mothers did not have sufficient mik
to support them. Investigation shows
that the cause for this lack of milk
was due TO unwise feeding before and
after Landing.
One sheep breeder lost 37l2 per
cent. of his lambs from this cause
Before lambing time he fed the ewes
corn fodder and timothy hay. After
Landing he fed bran and cut fodder
This shows that IL Is a great mistake
TO feed sheep on timothy hay or corn
fodder either before or after Landing
Neither of these feeds contains
enough protein or succulence to MAKE
milk. This man says that If ne haa
had 500 bushels turnips he could nave
