ICE FOR SUMNER.

Ice is an important commodity on
the farm in the summer 1t can be
used to keep many foods fresh, as
meats, milk, cream, butter, and so on
Many foods are also more appetizing
if kept cool. The ice house should be
built square and about as high as the
length of the wall. If 10 feet square
and with ~ foot posts it should hold
80 tons. 1t is necessary to keep air
from circulating around the ice or it
will melt. Sawdust is good for pack
ing around the ice, but straw or chaff
are also good. Good drainage is also
necessary. If there is no ice nearby,
it can be made in galvanized iron
box made the size of the cakes of ice
desired. 1t should be made a little
larger at the top than the bottom.
Pour it full Of water, which will freeze
enough in day or two so that it can
be removed by pouring boiling water
on the galvanized iron box, which will
loosen the ice cake. Then fill with
water and so on 1t will not take
long to make a summers supply of
ice this way and one will know the
kind Of water that goes into the ice.

THE TUBERCULIN TEST.
A good deal is heard about the tu-
berculin test. Some cities require
that milk can be sold only from tuber-
culin tested cows. The tuberculin
test is method used for finding out
if cattle have tuberculosis. A spec
tally prepared substance called tuber-
culin is injected into the animal and
record is kept of the animals tenn
perature, taken at intervals of two
hours. If the temperature goes up Il
certain number of degrees it is an in
tlication that the animal has tubercu-
losis. and such animals are removed
from the herd.-Agr. Ext. Dept N

SECRET SERVICE CHIEF
 FORMERLY A 1INsM|7H
William J. Flynn Chiefly Charged Now With Responsibility of Thwarting
 Alien Enemies.

Washington, Sept .20.-Sitting daily at his desk in the treasury building, or perhaps closeted in conference with some of his subordinates in his private office, is big jovial appearing man who is one of the busiest offici- als in Washington in these stirring times, but who goes about his work so quietly and unobtrusively that his name seldom appears in print.
 He is William J. Flynn, chief of the United States secret service, the man who is chiefly charged with the responsibility of hunting down enemy aliens, and who, through his many subordinates in the service, keeps a watchful eye on countless anarchists, suspected spies, leaders of the I. w. w., and others whose ill-advised activ- ities and utterances might jeopardize the public safety and welfare.
 Chief Flynn is now completing his fifh year as heard of the nited States secret service. It was in December, 1912 that he was appointed to suc- ceed John B. Wilkie in the position. For many years prior to his appoint ment as chief he had been in charge of the New York division of the se- cret service, and at one time he held the position of deputy police com missioner of New York city.
 Chief Flynn is only AS years old,

and has been identified with his pres ent line of business for about 25 years
 In 1893 he was a tinsmith in New York city. In the following year Ed ward Tamson was elected sheriff of New York county and Flynn ceased to be a tinsmith to become a keeper in Ludlow street jail. That was the be- ginning of his career which brought him to prominence as detective. When Tamsen's term as sheriff ex- pired the New York friends of Flynn got him position in the secret ser vice, and he made good from the start and soon started to climb higher in the service.
 As secret service agent Flynn be- came the terror of counterfeiters. Only aw eek before he was appinted to the head of the service he person. ally led a raid in the lower part of New York city that uncovered one of the most skillfully operated counter feiting plants ever confiscated by the secret service, and with the plant he captured the men who owned and op- erated it, and they were making money when he and his men forced their way into the bogus mint.
 That's the way that Flynn operates. In 1903 an Italian named Benedetto Madonia was murdered in New York. The body was found in a barrel Flynn identified the body as that of a man who had been mixed up in the counterfeiting game, and he knew from the start that Madonia was the victim of counterfeiting gang, and that he had been murdered because he had proved a traitor to the other criminals. For years Flynn worked on case-years alters the police stopped working g-and in 1910 he arrested the men who he was morally certain com mitted the crime. Hegot them for
