Construction Of Walls.

top of these tin is nailed, slanting
down three inches on each side. Be-
low these tins another shallow V
shaped tin forms a gutter, which runs
the water TO the side of the chamber
where a drain carries it off. The ice
rests on 2x2 Stats nailed in 2x4 up
rights.
The ice chamber holds six tons,
and requires replenishing from four
to six times in the fall. More ice is
needed again in the spring, though
not so much as in the fall.
Apples are placed in storage as
soon as ripe, the outside temperature
at this tine being around 20 degrees
The temperature in the storage may
run from SO to So degrees at this time
due to the high temperature outside
and to the frequent opening of the
door and temperature Of the apples
when picked. Later when the cool
fall weather comes the temperature
will register around So degrees. When
the temperature outside falls below
that in the storage the windows are
opened Should the temperature fall
much below zero for any length of
time in the winter, a stove is used
to keep the storage at a reasonable
temperature.

titled:
Chickens. Milk Feeding and It's In

parative Study of the Value Of Sweet
Milk and Sour Milk
The feeding of milk to young chicks

Sweet and sour milk are apparently
growth and mortality. Furthermore,
different degrees of souring do not
alter the results of milk feeding.
The value of milk as a feed for
chicks does not depend upon any acids
that may be present, nor upon any
particular types or micrO-organlSms,
but upon one or moro of the natural

When milk is supplied freely TO

This applies more particularly tc

stricken countries the world over.
American money, given by private
individuals, makes nearly half of
the funds used by missionaries, for
enlightening the barbarous and semi
civilized peoples of the earth to-
day
The question now comes, what is
left for us to accomplish? Have
we reached the zenith of our glory?
If not, how long can we develop
with such rapidity? No one can
lift the veil Of the future or pene-
trate into its mists, but there is
evidence enough to convince the
optimist at least that we have only
entered upon the great field of
achievement; that our nation is
standing at the threshold of fame
and glory; that these long years
past are only beginning for such
a period of development as man
never dreamed of; that we are liv-
ing in the dawn of the morning. en-
jOying the first radiant sunbeams
of that glorious day which began
thousands of years ago and which
will continue thousands of years
yet, giving time for the glorious
achievements of mans engenuity.
In this great future we can realize
the great probability for the United
States to hold her place in the first
ranks
Already our trolley cars, locomo-
tives and steamboats, are carrying
their cargoes of freight and passen-
gers to every nook and corner AL
ready our ships are traversing the
high seas: our submarines are
plowing beneath its waves, and
our aeroplanes are navigating the
heavens above. Already we have
snatched from the storms their |
most destructive element, lightning, |
and harnessed him up to carry our
messages of business, of peace and
of love over all the land and across
the seas.
1t must be remembered, however,
that in the achievements of the
last half a century Germany, Eng
land and France have worked hand
in hand with us and have been our
rivals in progress. But since near
ly all the great nations of Europe
have turned their wealth, their en-
ereies, their manhood, their all into
machines of destruction, devasta-
ton and death, we are left alone to
solve the problem of future nation
al development and human better
ment.
But how must we hold our place?
The most logical answer we are
able to assign to such question is
this; The way thing is obtained,
that way is it best held. We OBJ
tained our place through generosity,
liberality and by training for a high |
type of character, SO let us hold it
by keeping our minds clear and our
clean. And in the lang
uaee of that great statesman who
occupies the White House, Let us
have peace, everlasting peace"
