Mir and Mrs. Whittemore were brought to the grange by Worthy mas ter SIye as they live some distance from the hall, and owing to their ad- vanced age, they would have been un- able to have attended otherwise. Aside from being Charter members and faith pat rons MT. and Mrs. Whittemore are highly esteemed residents of the town. Mir. Whittemore served three years in the Connecticut eighteenth regiment and has attended every National En- campment for many years, Mrs. Whittemore often going with him.

ICE BOX EASILY MADE
KITCHEN RECEPTACLE MAY BE
PUT TOGETHER AT HOME.
inexpensive and Really Cleaner and
More Sanitary Than Those Packed
With Sawdust and Other
Materials.

The construction Of a good ice box
consists essentially of two boxes made
OF tongued and grooved lumber three
fonrths Of an inch thick. The two
boxes were made of such dimensions
that the smaller one will fit into the
larger one with an inch to spare all
around and on the bottom, the boxes
being held firmly together by having
inch strips nailed to the inside Of the
larger one at intervals of foot apart.
Before these strips are put in place,
building paper should be tackled to
the inside of the outer box, and to the
outside Of the inner one, then after
the paper Is on, the space between the
boxes is carefully measured and the
inch strips planed down SO that it will
be snug fit when the box is placed
within the other.
The construction of the cover is the
same as the sides and bottom, except
that there is fange at the front and
sides of the cover.
The corners Of the outside box are
strengthened and made tighter by
having a strip of building paper
tackled over them, and corner boards

sHoRTHoRN is GOOD MIXER
Cow That Will Give Profitable Amount
Of MIX and Make Good Beef 10.
Always Profitable.

When a farmer has decided to make
COWS his moneymaking stock, the
question arises what breed shall be
keep, says a writer in the Agricultur-
list IN the first place, no farmer need
have two or more breeds of cattle on
the same farm. Let him select the
breed that suits him best and start in
with a pedigreed herd, small or large
as circumstances may dictate, or If he
cannot afford the pedigreed females
use pedigreed bull on a good cross
of the breed desired; then, having
made his start, stay with the breed as
long as he farms. THERE'S no great
difference among the breeds. Each one
fills its own place and locality to q
large degree will determine the breed
to be selected. There can be no doubt
of the value of the general purpose
COW, and as long as farmers make
money breeding them the type will
not be abandoned.
A cow that will give profitable
amount of milk and make good beef In
time, except when she is in flush OF
milk, is paying investment for the
general farmer; also, a farmer wants
a regular breeder. 1t is for these rea-
sons I chose dairy Shorthorps, and l
have paid off the mortgage Us the re-
suit of my choice. All of my cows give
upward of 5000 pounds of milk a year
and breed large, healthy calves. In
my herd Is a tWo-year-old with rec.
ord Of 10,495 pounds Of milk. This
same heller was second in butter fat
contest at Syracuse In 1910, all breeds
competing.
The minute cow Is not wanted In
the herd she will bring from $50 to $50
as beef, which makes a. considerable
item so long as the COW has been up
to that time profitable mixer. The
Shorthorn Is hardy and does not re.
quire large amount OF grain. being
a great forager and consumer Of sflaga
and straw.
