SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just Few Reasons Why There
Should Be an Advance In Price
Of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price of ice after the cold winter, we
hopefully submit the following:
l. The ice being SO thick and heavy,
1t costs more to handle 1t.
2 The blocks are so large that there
is great waste in cutting them up for
the retail trade.
3. The ice is so cold 1t freezes solid
in the storage houses and is very diff
cult to get out.
4. AS the winter has been so cold.
the summer will necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for Ice very
great, so that it is doubtful IL there
will be enough to go around.
5. The ice being extra thick, extra
cold, and extra quality all through, 1t
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded.
6. The price of ice never had any
relation to the cost of production, any
how.-Life.

HAD NO RATIoNs TO SPARE.
Good Reason Why Confederate Com
nnander Was Willing to See His
Prisoners Escape.


When, at Gaines Mill in 1862, the
9th Texas captured two whole regi-
ments of Union soldiers, the Texans
were all very proud of their achieve
ment. One Of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union Officers gave up
their swords to Col. Upton. they were
so prompt in the duty that he was
compelled to lay down the frying pan
which he carried in the place of a
sword and hold the weapons presented
in his arms.
Just then he noticed commotion at
the far end of the captured regiments.
That was near the timber, and a squad
OF the prisoners were making an eff
fort to pass by big John" Ferris of
Company B, who stood there unaided,
endeavoring to intercept them.
Springing upon log, the armful of
swords dangling about in every direc-
ton, Upton shouted:
John Ferris, what are you trying to
do now?"
Il am trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" yelled Big John.
Let them go, you fool!" shouted
back Upton. WED rather fight than
feed them!"

TO PREVENT INJURY
BY The CUTWORMS
Clean Cultural Methods and Ro.
tation of Crops Are Advisa-
ble-AIs0 Fall PIoWinq.

Wnen cutworms occur in serious
abundance, which happens In some
seasons, they migrate from one field
to another, assuming what is called
the army worm habit. While the
methods which have been advised are
valuable in such cases, they are too
slow to destroy all the cutworms, and
we, therefore, have to employ other
methods. These include trenching.
ditching, the blowing of deep burrows
in advance of the travelling cutworms
to entrap them and the dragging of
logs or pieces of brush through the
burrows. If the trenches can be filleG
with water, the addition of smaK
quantity of kerosene so as to form
a thin scum on the surface will prove
fatal. These remedies are also APP
plicable to the beet army worm and
species of similar habits.
As preventive of Injury by cut
worms and army worms, clean cul-
tural methods and rotation of crops
are advisable; also fall blowing and
disking. Cutworms, army worms and
many other insect pests are destroyed
where 1t is possible to overflow the
fields.

COWPEAS ARE GOOD
AS EGG PRODUCERS
Hens Seem to Relish Small
Branches and Leaves and
All Small Particles.

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but are excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman gives
this experience: The peas, after ma
turing, were harvested and stored in
dry lofts, and thrown to the fowls in
scratching pens. where they were
scratched over and searched for dur
ing the day.
After a few days the egg supply
was visibly increased, and within a
few weeks almost doubled that from
an equal number of hens kept in sep
arate quarters and fed on other grains.
The hens seemed to like the small
branches and leaves. and would eat
every particle except the hard, stiff
stems.
The general health of the flock was
excellent. and not q single hen showed
the least symptom of ailment during
the winter season. Considering The
ease with which cowpeas may be
raised. it seems that everyone should
give them test as food for the poul-

barrel of the mixture should be enough
to cover about two acres.

mellow If best results are desired.

MAKE SUCCESS IN ORCHARDS
Much Depends on Good Cultivation
and Proper Handling of Soil
Oxygen Is Necessary.

To no small degree the success OF
orcharding depends upon good culti-
walton and proper handling of the soil.
To have healthy plant growth, a GER
tain amount of oxygen must be IN the
soil. This oxygen is formed in the air.
Again, good preparation should deepen
the soil, increasing the feeding sur
face. all the more encouraging roots
to strike deeply and bringing the
moisture up from the. water table.
BY having the soil particles small the
water is enabled to rise. Thus, In the
feeding area of the soil we have set
more plant food free and we also have
plenty Of moisture. These two points
are very essential, as the only way
plant food can enter the roots Is In
the form of solution. Water must
be present This solution entering the
roots rises to the leaves, where the
food is retained for future use and the
water Is given of. The more moist
ure that enters the plant, the more
food is deposited.
In summer our object is to pulverize
two or three inches on the surface
as finely as possible to prevent the
moisture from evaporating from the
soil. The nearer we bring the top
soil to the condition of road dust the
better will be our results. The fine
soil prevents the water from passing
through it. If we stopped with the
spring cultivation, the soil after each
rain would bake the crust and 1t would
crack open. letting out the moisture.
Summer cultivation also keeps down
the weeds. and this is we'll worth
while, as weeds pump out an enor.

SUMMER QUARTERS
FOR THE PULLETS
One of the Fundamentals in Rails
ina Profitable PouItry-De-
scripticn of Hen House.

Comfortable summer quarters for
the growing pullets is one of the fun
damentals to success in raising prof
liable poultry, be it on back lot or
on the farm. The farm however
has the advantage Of plenty OF room
where houses may be moved about.
One of the best houses we have
ever tried on the farm for summer
use. both from standpoint of econo-
my of construction and general sat
isfaction, was an eight by ten one
built of two by tours covered with one
inch wire netting, with covering OF
burlap over that, says writer in an
exchange. There are no floors in the
houses, but they are weatherboarded
up around the bottom to distance Of
two feet. Two feet Of the entire front
is left open to furnish fresh air. The
roof is sheathed with. half-inch mate
rial and covered with prepared roof
ing
Pine is used as the framework.
One two by three at each corner, and
one in the middle of the back and
each end, to set in the front door
where the door IL swung. That is all
the studding used. Three rafters and
the necessary plates at the top and
bottom of the walls complete the
amount of frame material used. This
makes a substantial and at the same
time light house that can be slipped
on sled and moved from place to
place.
The advantage of having the walls
weatherboarded up few feet is not
so much in the protection that it af-
furds as in the strength it gives the
entire structure. 1t likewise fur
nishes a place where the lower edge
of the burlap may be fastened SO
that 1t will not become loose.

HOW TO CARE FOR
YOUNG SEEDLINGS
If Plant Can Be Kept From Wilt
ing Great Advantage IS
Gained-Soak Roots.

1t frequently happens that the home
grown seedlings come on quite as
quickly as the greenhouse ones, even
though smaller when placed in the
garden.
Some plants few inches high, Of
the Earliana variety, were set out, and
a little later four. excellent greenhouse
specimens were secured.
They were thrifty, large and just
ready to bud; and the prospect of hav-
ing an early treat from them was
most promising. But though extra
precaution was taken against whiting,
one died, and the change from arti-
fetal conditions was a shock from
which the rest recuperated slowly.
Meantime the home grown plants
forged ahead and ripened fruit a week
or two in advance.
Before transplanting any young
plant it It's wise to let the roots soak
in water several hours. By this means
the pores are full of water and the
plant is much less prone to wilt.
Choose cloudy day or plant at sun
set so that the plantlet may have all
possible chance to get righted before
the hot sun strikes 1t. If it can be
kept, from whiting great advantage
is gained as the growth is not
checked. This may seem a small mat
ter, but it means a great deal-not
only the saving of week in the
growing period. but perhaps it avoids
the repairing Of lost vigor.
Put a cup Of water in each hill be-
fore setting the Seeding, firm the
earth about the roots and protect with
leafy twigs or paper cap If the sun
is hot.-E. v. B.

later they will become improbable,
as 1t is impossible for them to obtain
the maximum development in such
soils.
The question Is sometimes asked,
What is meant by good soil?" From
the chemical point OF view we would
make the following classification:
Poor soils contain about 10 per cent
of potash. .O5 per cent phosphoric
acid. 2 per cent lime, .05 per cent
nitrogen. Productive soils: 20 per
cent potash. L per cent phosphoric
acid, 8 per cent lime, Il per cent nj
trogen Excellent soils: .35 per cent
potash, rs per cent phosphoric acid.
10 per cent lime. 2 per cent nitrogen.
From the physical point of view 1t Is
harder to say what constitutes the
best soil, but there are certain proper
ties that we find desirable. First, it
should be deep, the deeper the better.
1t should contain enough sand and
gravel to allow one to till 1t easily. 1t
should have good drainage. 1t should
contain enough clay to make 1t good
moisture and plant-food retainer, and
should contain at least two per cent
humus
