USEFUL MILK COOLER

hot days a temperature Of so degrees
can be obtained in this refrigerator.
The following description will aid in
the construction OF this device:
Make a screened case three and one
half feet high with the other dimen-
sions 70 by 10 inches. II a solid top
is used, simply place the water pan
on this. Otherwise At the pan closely
into the opening Of the top frame and
support It by one-inch cleats fastened
to the inside OF the frame. Place two
movable shelves in the frame. 10 to Is
inches apart. Use a biscuit pan 10
inches square on the top to hold the
water, and where the refrigerator is
to be used indoors have the whole
thing standing in a large pan to catch
any drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed to dry, and then
enameled. A covering Of white canton
flannel should be made to fit the
frame. Have the smooth side out and
button the covering on the frame with
buggy Or automobile curtain hooks and
eyes, arranged SO that the door may
be opened without christening these
hooks. This can easily be done by put
ting one row of hooks on the edge Of
the door near the latch and the other
just opposite the opening with the hem
on each side extended far enough to
the crack at the edge of the
door, so as to keep out the warm, out
side air and retain the cooled air.
This dress or covering will have to
be hooked around the top edge also.
Two double strips one-half the width
Of each side should be sewed on the
top Of each side and allowed to extend
over about two and one-half or three
inches in the pan of water. The bot
tom of the covering should extend to
the lower edge Of the case
Place the refrigerator in a shady
place where air will circulate around
it freely. If buttons and b%uttonholes
are used on the canton flannel instead
Of buggy hooks, the cost should not
exceed So cents.
Another type Of iceless refrigerator
similar in principle to the one de,
scribed, is shown in the illustration
AS will be seen, this consists Of three
shelves, attached to a substantial
piece Of lumber running through the
center Of each shelf. A heavy cross
piece at the bottom of the central sup
port serves as a base. A bag of can
ton flannel, and opening on the side
covers the refrigerator and may BIZ
drawn tight at the bottom by means o.
a string around the edge. Buggy Oh
automobile curtain hooks and eyel
may be used for the opening, although
buttons and buttonholes will probabl!

NOT HARD TO KEEP COLOR
cottons That Are Soaked Before
Washing Look Best and Last
For Long Time.

The recent agitation about inferior
dyestuffs has made women hesitate
when looking at the lovely summer
fabrics. Here are a few hints about
preserving the colors: For mauve or
lavender put the articles in cold water
with common baking powder, adding
to one-half gallon Of water n table
spoonful of soda. Soak one-half hour,
wash carefully in lukewarm water,
using a little pure soap. Rinse thor
oughly and dry in the shade. For
blues, one teaspoonful of muriatic
acid to a gallon of water. For greens,
alum water is good, using four ounces
of alum to a tubful of water. Often
common salt dissolved in water will
set colors. A tablespoonful to a gallon
of water. The dyeing of colored wash
goods Is most important. They should
be dried quickly and in the shade.
Never hang a print skirt or waist
double over the line. Hang it from
one of the wooden arms made pur-
posely for hanging skirts.

(By PROF. II. L. KEMPSTER. Univer-
sity of Missouri. College Of Agriculture.)
In selecting a location for a poultry
house the farmer usually chooses the
one which is Bearest to his home in
order that the housewife may con
veniently care for the poultry flock.
This accounts for the usual location
Of the poultry house half way between
the house and the barn where It is
convenient for the hens to overrun
not only the farm buildings, but also
the kitchen porch. This habit IL also
encouraged by the indiscriminate scat
tering of feed, often closer to the
farm buildings than to the poultry
house. II the farm poultry house is
located so as 20 make it natural for
the hens not to run in the yards,
there will be very little trouble with
them o%verrunning the farm buildings.
In the care of poultry n should
aim as far as possible to feed all the
feed in and around the poultry house.
Frequently poultry can be encouraged
to run into the orchard by a simple
arrangement Of the fences. Grain
crops can often be grown upon the
same ground upon which the poultry
flock is running with very little injury
to the crop. Corn is especially adapt
ed to such a practice. This practice
furnishes an abundance Of shade dur
ing the summer when it is most need
ed. The yards are plowed occasion
ally, exposing the soil to the sun, de-
strOying many disease germs and in
festival parasites, and the droppings
which are generally wasted are util-
lied. In addition to making condi-
lions more healthful, this growing of
crops on the poultry runs also reduces
the feed cost. Under Missouri condi-
tions it is more desirable for chick
ems to be kept upon cultivated soil
than it is to attempt to have a perma-
nent sod run. Often the garden can
be alternated with the poultry pas
ture. Under farm conditions this
kind of yarding can be easily arranged
with practically no fencing. While the
location OF the farm poultry house is
generally determined by the conven-
fence with which it can be reached
from the house. a little fore
thought will enable the poultry keep
er to make the above arrangements
without sacrificing convenience.
Matching and 5rooding House.
The combined Matching, brooding
and housing coop shown below is
large enough to accommodate four
hens and is as good as a 6O-egg incu.
bator. Farmers who have used this
coop have pronounced it a success
This coop does away with the little

ly given to hens after they have

which was designed by Prof. NJ. T.
Fullan of the Alabama Polytechnic In

covered with canton flannel or some
similar material. 1t is desirable that
the frame be screened, although this
is not absolutely necessary. Wicks

COOLING EGGS IN INCUBATOR
Best Result Secured In Test by Turn

Minute Periods.

In an experiment to determine the
best method Of cooling eggs ia an in

tanning eight trays were cooled for a
mere turning, five. ten, fifteen and
twenty-minute periods.
The trays that gave the best re-
suits were cooled as follows: First
week, five minutes in the Afternoon;
second week. ten minutes in the after
noon; third week, fifteen minutes in
the afternoon.
Cooling one tray for several hours
proved detrimental.

The cheapest form Of green food Is
sprouted oats. To provide these, have
a number Of shallow boxes. Soak the

Interesting Suggestion Made

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. l7-Fred,
erick C. Walcott, of New York, who
recently investigated conditions in Po'
land and Belgium for the Rockefeller
Foundation, told number Of Senators

such an act would tend 10 create great
popular demonstrations for peace
among civilian populations of warning
nations, because they would be anN'
ious for the assistance in re.habitat'
ing their homes and restoring normal
living conditions.
MIR. Walcott suggested that a fund
of that size. should be raised by com
bined popular contributions and con-
gressional appropriations. Considering
the wealth Of the United States, he
declared it was not an eXorbirant sum
TO give. Since 1914 the estimated az

haS been eighty billion dollars, he safu
and the combined offerings for wal
