ICE DURING SUMMER MONTHS
Commodity Which Every Farmer Can
Have by Little Attention to
Storage in Winter.

Ice is commodity which almost
every farmer can have during the
summer months Ii little attention Is
given to the proper methods of stor-
age during severe cold weather.
A common type OF ice house. and
one that seems TO give good satisfac-
ton, is pit dug in the grol nd or on
the side of slope covered with a
board roof to keep out the snow and
rain and serve as shade. Straw is
used between the walls of the pit and
the ice. One instance has been OBJ
served where baled straw was used
with good results.
In the construction OF any ice house,
whether pit or above ground. the
walls should be properly insulated so
that they will not admit heat from the
outside. Ventilation should be pro-
vided for the space above the ice by
an opening at each end near the peak
OF the roof

Dogs Blamed for Spread of ALL
ments Among Farm Stock.
Department of Agriculture Recently
Issued Bulletin on Subject
Should Be Controlled and
Properly Cared For.
Ry NJ. c. HALL. Ph. d.

The dog in the country is a useful
and pleasant adjunct TO the farm if he
is properly controlled and cared for.
but when neglected, may readily be-
come a carrier of disease to stock, in
addition to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as a gen.
eral rule. have been intended chiefly
to curb the dogs power of doing harm
by attacking, biting, killing or run
ming sheep or stock. The part that he
plays as a carrier OF diseases TO ami
mails only recently has been recog-
niZed, according to the department of
agriculture, which has issued a bull
letin (No. 269) on the subject, The
Dog as a Carrier of Parasites and Dis
cases."
OF the diseases carried to stock by
dogs, the foot-and-mouth disease is
probably of the greatest interest at
this time. In this case the dog acts as
a mechanical carrier of infection. The
dog which runs across an infected
his feet the virus of this most conta-
gious of animal diseases to other farms
and thus spread the disease to the
neighboring herds. In infected locali-
ties it is absolutely essential, there
fore, to keep all dogs chained and
never to allow them off the farm ex-
cept on leash
There are, however, many other
maladies in the spread of which the
dog takes an active part-rabies, by
datid ringworm. favus, double-pored
tapeworm, roundworm and tongue
worm are often conveyed to human
beings in this way. 1t occasionally
happens also that the dog helps fieas
and ticks in transmitting buboniC
plague or the deadly spotted fever.
Hydatid disease is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain
lungs and other organs, of a bladder
worm or larval tapeworm.' Bladder
worms are often as large as an orange
allowed to feed on carrion or the raw
viscera of slaughtered animals may
eat all or part OF a bladder worm con
tanning numerous tapeworm heads
These tapeworm heads develop into
small segmented tapeworms in the in
testines OF the dog. The tapeworms
in turn develop eggs which are passed

are spread broadcast on grass and In

very well eat them and thus become

PRESERVE THE FENCE POSTS
Average Farmer Can Secure Profit
able Results by Heating Butts
In Boiling Creosote.

The question of fence posts is get
posts are mounting in price very rap
idly and are quite often of poor quail
ity. Iron and cement posts are COM
ing into use but there are objections
to them because of cost, weight, diff
Guilty of attaching wire and the crum-
bling of concrete in alkaline soils.
Railroad and telephone companies,
using ties and poles, have the same
conditions to contend with. They
have reduced expenses a good deal by
the use OF coal tar creosote preserva-
tive, forcing 1t into the ties and pole
butts by hydraulic pressure in closed
tanks. Such plant is not available
to the average farmer but he can get
much OF the same result by heating
the butts OF posts In boiling creosote
for one-half to three or four hours, ac-
cording TO the species of the wood.
and then letting the posts cool in the
liquid.
The heat forces a part OF the air
ont OF the wood and as the post cools
the air that is left In the wood con-
tracts and the partial vacuum thus
formed draws the creosote into the
wood for a one-quarter or one-half
inch or more. If this cannot be done,
il will pay to paint or dip the butt
of the post, for even this will afford
considerable protection against rot
ting.

AID FOR CRIPPLED
Artificial Limbs Brought to State
of Perfection.
Ingenious Construction of Arm En-
ables Wearer TO Perform Almost
All the Tasks Possible to the
Normal Man.

To those unfortunates who have
been deprived OF their hands an0 arms
through accident or otherwise, it would
appear that aid in the form of artificial
limbs is about to be realized. At least,
the artificial limbs invented by an
American who. some twelve years ago.
lost his arm while operating a milling
machine In Pittsburgh shop and de-
vised the improved artificial limb dur
ing his convalescence-emulate the
natural ones to such striking degree
that the handicap heretofore suffered
by cripples is materially reduced
An artificial arm was recently exhib-
tied at the International Surgical con-
gress held in New York, and the dex-
terity with which its wearer was able
to perform different tasks was little
short OF a revelation. The artificial
limb permits of the performance Of
all ordinary tasks, including the drink
ing of a glass OF CATER, buttoning of
shoes, tipping ones hat and, as an ex-
treme example of it's practicality, the
carrying a satchel weighing about 30
pounds.
In the artificial arm, fiber willow is
used for the wooden portion. while
steel gears take the place of joints and
rawhide cords act as muscles. Each
rawhide cord ends on a pair of sus-
penders fastened across the back and
the chest, which furnishes the neces-
sary tension. Thus the Struggling Of
the shoulder is made to control the
arm and hand and the 240 parts of
which they are composed. The raw
hide muscles move the steel joints,
and the unison that obtains makes the
action of the arm almost natural. The
elbow is bent with a simple forward
movement of the stump which. by
means of the cord attached from the
forearm to the shoulder suspender,
raises the hand as high as the wearer
wishes-high enough to take off his
hat or brush his hair. if SO desired.
- A downward movement of the Shout
der causes a slight tension on another
rawhide cord controlling the fingers,
which results in bending the hand
backward from the wrist joint and the
opening of the fingers. Another shrug
OF the shoulder closes the fingers and
locks them so that they tightly grip
the object that is being handled, from
a toothpick to valise. Repeating the
downward movement OF the shoulder
causes the fingers to be unlocked. The
wrist Is provided with hinge joint
and button and can be locked secure
ly in three positions IL desired, the
button can be pushed back and the
wrist flexed automatically by means
of the cord which opens and closes
the fingers. All the work is done by
the shoulders. Raising the elbow
moves the wrist one-third of turn.

Fertilizer FOR THE GARDEN
Most Satisfactory to Supply Liberal
Quantities Of All Elements De-
ficient in Soil.

In a vegetable garden where so many
plants are grown with such varying
plant food requirement. it is entirely
impracticable to attempt to compound
fertilizer formulas suitable for the
various groups of vegetables. 1t is
far more satisfactory TO supply liberal
quantities of all the fertilizing ele-
ments deficient in the SOIL In this way
each plant will be sufficiently supplied
with plant food fer full development,
says Bulletin loo of the Georgia sta
ton.
Animal manures OF almost any kind
are good for enriching the garden soil.
In fact. it is quite difficult to main
tain the fertility Of a soil so heavily
cropped as a vegetable garden unless
there is an available supply Of animal
manures OF some kind. Horse stable
manure is the most convenient to ap-
ply; and it, is very excellent for a gar
den, provided there is not too much
coarse particles of bedding applied
just before the garden is TO be planted.
Winter is a good time to apply ma
nure to the garden soil. The manure
should be hauled out and spread over
all the garden area that is not occu-
pied with vegetables. Even then the
manure may be strewn along between
the rows of vegetables and allowed to
decompose until the vegetables are
taken off and the soil turned for an
other crop. There is little danger of
applying too much stable manure TO
the garden soil. If the manure is we'll
decomposed. or II applied and plowed
in month or two before planting
time, it may be used at the rate of %
to 80 tons per acre with beneficial eff
feet to the crops grown.
