The ice house and the milk house
must, Of necessity, be definitely sepa-
rated by a wall well insulated against
variations in temperature, yet a good
proportion of the contents Of the ice
house will eventually be used in the
milk room and the combination of
these buildings results in a saving Of
time in filling the bunker or in obtain
ing ice for other purposes in the milk
house part Of the building. Good dairy
men will not keep milk near the
stables, even though the law in their
state does not force them to observe
this precaution. The milk house is
then a necessity and it will ordinarily
be obtained in one of three ways: In

Old SOLDIER
WAS CONST|PATED
Says Black-D raught Cured Him Of
His Troubles Of IL Years
Standing.

EGottville, N. yC.-Mr. James Dick
Hon, an old resident Of this place, and
Qlgil War Veteran, recently made the
following statement: y" am 81 years
pNa, and am an old soldier Of the war
Of 81. I had constipation for IL
years. The doctors said I would
lever be any better, but now I can
tell them better. I had taken dollars
and dollars worth Of blood tablets, but
they got so they didn't do me much
good.
Then I got to taking your Black.
Draught, and I had not taken one full
Fackage until I found that it relieved
he constipation. I took two or three
packages, and it has cured me, and /
praise 1t to all Of my friends"
Thousands Of people in the past 20
years have found help for constipa.
ton in the use of Thedford's Black.
Draught. Many families keep Black.

use it at the least sign of constipation,

the building to secure sufficient In.
sulation to prevent undue loss. Struc-
tural tile has been found an excellent
material for the construction of farm
Ice houses. Its ordinary use provides
a berries Of dead air spaces which +
very effective as an insulation against
temperature variation. It is, Of course,
necessary to use care in the constitute
tion Of the walls SO that no leaks are
present to admit warm air to the in
terror Of-the house. The inside of the
house must be lined with some water
proofed insulation so that moisture
does not have an opportunity to work
Into the mortar joints and body Of the
tile.
Within the main walls Of the fee
house there may be a partition placed
near n end to form a milk room and
Ice bunker. Such an arrangement is
more economical Of ice than to build
the milk room In some part Of the milk
house remote from the ice house. The
door into the milk room should be
constructed in the same manner az the
continuous doors placed in the outside
wall Of the ice house.
The milk house size and arrange
ment will depend upon the method Of
handling the milk. If special equip
ment is used, provision must be made
for 1t In the house. There Is more to
be considered than simply the size.
For instance, the farmer who wishes q
gasoline engine in his milk house, to
turn the separator, churn, ice cream
freezer or whatever other equipment
is used requiring power, must have
provision for the placing OF Il concrete
base, ut the time Of pouring the foun-
dalton and floor, and an outlet must be
provided In the wall or roof for the ex-
haust pipe Of the engine. If n boiler
Is required, 1t may be necessary to pro-
vide special floor construction for 1t.
In any event, the milk house should be
provided with a chimney and a cooling
tank should be conveniently placed,
in the design. Unless q supply Of pure
water Is near at hand and can be con-
veniently plped to the milk house, it's
advisable to place a pump in the milk
house. Some farmers place the equip
ment Of their water supply system for
the farm in their dairy house. Tie

Ing a farm dairy business is to handle
the milk in this way. The cream should
De sent either to the city or to the
creamery. SKINNED milk when fed TO

than selling the milk. There is very
little fertility carried away from the

q careful dairy business have valuable

by taking into account all Of the vari-
GUS features Of the business such nc

TORRENS LAND
TITLE BILL NOW
BEING DEBATED

Atlanta, Ga, July l8.-The bill to
establish new land title registration
system in Georgia has reached its
third reading in the house and is nov
under debate, and probably will hold
the boards for several days.
The system created by the bill is a
modified form of the Torrens land
title system. The bill was drawn by
a commission appointed by the 1egis-
lature and consisting of distinguish
ed lawyers and business men. 1t is a
lengthy document describing in de-
tail the manner in which land titles
shall be established and validated.
Georgia's land title system at pres
ent is one of the most antiquated in
the United States. No person can be
certain that his title is good until he
pays lawyer to abstract it for him,
and there are many cases on record
where the ablest lawyers in the state
have approved faulty titles, owing to
the fact that no amount of careful
examination can absolutely find the
defects.
Georgia farmers are especially con-
'cerned in the passage of the bill now
under debate in the house because
they will have difficulty in availing
themselves of the benefits of the Fed
eral Farm Loan system until they get
some system whereby they can vail
date their titles in a simple, efficient
and absolutely certain manner.

The firing apparently was the re-

turned rifles and machine guns on
each other. Quiet was restored after
a few minutes.
The demonstrations were organic

food administrator occupied virtually
all OF today's debate in the senate on
the food control bill, but meantime
considerable progress on compromise
amendments was made by the leaders
in bipartisan conferences.
For more than two hours Senator
Reed criticised Mr.. Hoover, declaring
his residence abroad had kept him out
OF touch with American ideals. Sem
ator Phelan replied defending the
food administrator.
The Democratic and Republican
leaders agreed in their conferences
upon changes in the bill expected to
command general support. Most of
the leaders agreed upon limiting the
control legislation to foods, feeds
and fuels, the latter to include gaso-
line and kerosene, but a considerable
senate following plans to insist upon
retention of government control over
steel and iron and their products.
