There are two kinds of golf temper

medal player performs accurately. the
match player performs brilliantly. The
former is like an Aeolian. the latter the
musician.
AS a rule. the best batters make the
feWest protests on the umpires calling of
strikes. They are not so much concern
ed as to whether the ball cuts the middle
of the plate as they are as to whether
they can hit it.
Few college basemen realize that the
nearer the ground they bring the ball in
endeavoring to touch the runner the
surer they are to get the decision. a
base runner must get his foot or his
hand into the tac. but keeps his body,

ICE SHOULD BE STORED FOR USE
IN SUMMER BY ALL FARMERS

During the winter farmers will find
1t profitable to make every possible
arrangement for harvesting and stor-
ing such ice as may be available In
their localities. Ice Ia a luxury, and
yet in many sections of the country It
may be had for the gathering If the
farmer is prepared for the harvest at
the right time. The cost of harvest
ing and storing ice is not great COM
pared with the comfort that 1t brings,
and an ample supply Of this luxury
Is of greater importance In the coun-
try home than in the city residence.
Even such farmers as are not near
lakes or streams often gather quite a
supply of ice by putting out pans or
wooden troughs filed with water and
removing the ice after the water has
frozen.
While city people may purchase
perishable supplies as needed, the re-
r,ioteness of country homes from mar
kets makes 1t necessary to use more
canned, corned or smoked meat prod
ucts at a season when the table might
be supplied with other meats II there
was an available supply Of ice to
keep 1t.
Not only is ice appreciated because
of it's use in the preservation of fresh
meats, butter and other table sup
plies, but production of high-grade do
nestle dairy products Is almost inn
possible without it. Many markets
to which milk is now shipped demand
that 1t be cooled before shipment to
degree not attainable without the
use of ice. Modern methods of mar
keting show that other products be-
sides milk, such as fruit and eggs, If

The milk IN the top Of the can just
above the water level in the cooling
vat cools much more slowly than the
milk that is below that level, ac-
cording to experiments. The warm
or milk in the top Of the can does
not circulate naturally with the cold
milk at the bottom. The cold milk
being heavier than the warm will re-
main at the bottom Of the can, while
the warmer and therefore lighter
portion will remain at the top, and
practically no circulation will take
place. The transfer of heat in this
case Is very slow; moreover, the milk
around the sides of the can cools
much more quickly than that in the
centre Of the can. II therefore is
important to stir the milk while
cooling.
In experiments made with cans
where the top of the milk was above
the water level, it was found that
the milk above that level remains
from to degrees warmer than the
portion below the level. Bacteria
consequently will develop at high
er rate IN the TOP OF the milk, ana
when later the milk is mixed, the
souring of the whole canful will be
FASTENED both by reducing the tenn
perature of the whole and also by
the increased number of bacteria in
the warmer portion.
In the experiments all the cans were
cooled by the same method. The milk
In some Of the cans was stirred every
fifteen minutes, while that in others
was not The water In the cooling
