Ice House Add to Dairy Profits.

Ice House Add to Dairy Profits.
No producer of milk or cream in
regions where natural ice is obtain.
able, should be without ice through
the summer months.
In New England, 500 pounds Of ice
annually will cool the cream from
each animal in a 20-cow dairy. The
same figures, doubtless, would apply
to Minnesota though it would be we'll
to allow q margin of even 200 or 800
pounds for strinkage and for house
hold use.
An ice house with capacity Of ten
tons can be built for $50. The harvest.
ing and storing of ice in Minnesota
can be done for less than 81 a ton. On
this basis sufficient ice to cool the
cream from 20 cows and to supply the
needs Of the farm home, would not
cost to exceed SIS year, or one-half
a cent a pound for the butter fat pro.
duced. As the quality of the cream
delivered is coming more and more
to determine the price, this slight ex-
penditure on the part Of any dairy
farmer, is amply justified.
Why not prepare for the ice harv-
est, as winter has set in? Farmers
Bulletin No. 623, which can be obtain
ed by addressing the Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., gives
instructions for the building of ice
houses and for the use of ice on the
dairy farm.
The following are methods of dairy.

dairy laws, and are unsanitary, un-
profitable, and injurious to your bust.

the Serbian infantry made little i'm

MUCH INTEREST IN

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-Candidates
for United States Senator and a conf
plcte ticket will be nominated at the
statewide primary tomorrow. Chief
interest in the election apparently
centered tonight III whether the form
er leaders of the Progressive party
will be able 10 swing the votes OF a
majority OF the rank and file to Gov
ernor Charles S. Whitman. leading
Republican candidate for Governor.
One wing OF the party fayors the cleo
,ion of Judge Samuel Seabury. whose
candidacy for Governor on the Demo
cratic ticket is unopposed.
National as we'll as state leaders OF
both parties are deeply interested IN
the outcome of the Progressive Dri-
mary contest for they believe it may
have an important bearing upon the
outcome Of the presidential campaign
in New York. II is conceded by Doth
sides that a majority OF those VINO
vote for Governor Whitman in the prl-
maries will support Charles r. Hughes
for president, while most of those VINO
support Judge Seabury will vote for
President Wilson.
Next to the fight for Progressive
support, the most important contest
Robert Bacon, former ambassador TO
France, and William NJ. Calder, a
former congressman, for the Repuoll-
can nomination for the United States
senate.
Nj. Bacon did not enter the. lists
until 4 few weeks ago and has based
his appeal for support largely upon his
advocacy of military preparedness. An
incident of the day was the publlca'
ton of letter from Theodore Roose'
welt. urging Mr.. Bacon's nomination
on the preparedness issue. Many of
the county and district leaders Of the
state have lent their support TO Mr.
Calder, who began his campaign
nearly two years ago.

on their hands for the senatorial
nomination, but managers Of the CAM

the Army War College, died here TO-
day, after Is hours illness from pneu-
monia.
Apparently he was in the best of
health when he left his desk at the
War Department late Saturday alter
noon, and so sudden was his death
that many of his fellow officers re-
fused to believe first reports that ne
was dead. No funeral arrangements
had been made tonight.
In a statement issued tonight ex'
pressing the sentiment OF the Var
department, Secretary Baker declared
General Mills devotion to his work
took strength with which he might 9TH
erwise have been able to resist the
sudden illness. The statement tol-
lows:
II have deep sense Of personal loss
in the death OF General Albert l.. Mills.
From the time of my coming to WASH
iugton he has been more than Jealous
in his Self-sacriticing devotion TO the
affairs of the militia bureau. OF Wnlcn
he was the head. and his patience, wis
dom and kindness have greatly SIM
plifed both my task in becoming la.

the difficult undertaking which fell TO

Mills to his work took strength with
which he might otherwise have been

career. In active military operations
