FACTORS IN STORAGE OF ICE
Houses Should Be Well Insulated and
Dralned--cost of Construction
10 lmportant.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Insulation and drainage are two OF
the most important factors ia the pres
ervation OF Ice. II In true that the
temperature OF the earth varies less
than that Of the air, but the fact that
the temperature OF the earth at six
or eight feet below the surface remains
at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit the
year around makes IL quite as Impor-
tant TO protect the stored Ice against
the earth heat as against the heated
air. II Ia more difficult to remove ice
as needed during the season from pits
than from structures above the ground.
Slight advantages are apparent at har-
vest time In favor of the cellar or the
half-sunken type of house, and under
some circumstances they win be pre-
ferred to the other type.
The length of time Ice may be kept
depends upon the character of lnsula-
ton provided This win naturally vary
with the location of the Icehouse and
the method of construction. Another
important factor will be the cost OF
construction.
The simplest type Of Ice preserve
sion consists In stacking the cekes In
compact mass on well-drained site,
as well protected as possible from sun
and wind, and covering the mass with
sawdust, shavings. fodder, marsh hay
or any other good insulating material.
Such a crude method il not to be rec
commended except as temporary
makeshift for ice which is to be used
early In the season.

mature tree Ia desired, Unless this IL
done, the long, heavy taproot, even at
the end of the first year. makes trans
planting difficult and the loss heavy.
Black walnut is best planted in the
fall.
Conifers are much more difficult to
raise than hardwo0ds, and unless "A
large project is undertaken It Ia In
advisable TO attempt to raise them.
Thrifty stock may be purchased from
reliable nurserymen and In some case
at cost from nurseries maintained by
the state. Stock grown as near as
possible to the region of planting is
always preferable.
If hardwoods are used, one-year
seedlings give best results under nor
NAL conditions. Large stock should be
avoided. II is more expensive and re-
quires more time and attention to
plant II conlfers are used, nothing
smaller than three-year-0ld transplants
should be tried. Transplants are pref
erable to seedlings because of the
larger mass Of fbrous roots.
Methods of Planting.
Planting methods are dependent
largely upon the size Of the stock and
the condition Of the site When stock
Is received for planting. the first pre-
caution ia to see that II has not dried
out. The roots never should be ex-
posed to the sun or drying air. The
roots OF stock that is packed In crates
should be molstened thoroughly before
the trees are removed If the trees
are extra-large conlfers and the roots
Of each tree are protected with earth
bound with cloth covering, the whole
should be planted without removing
the wrapper. In any case, all small
stock, IL 1t cannot be planted at once,
should be heeled In In a cool, moist
situation. The tops should not be COW

A tree plantation established with
poor stock always is handicapped.
The purchase Of cheap stock, simply
because 1t IL cheap, is poor economy,
for often 1t results In failure.
Fortunately, most Of the hardwoods
may be grown easily from seed, and
the possibility Of buying stock which
is not true to name or of having 1t
injured in transit avoided. II the
farm maintains a garden plot, the
hardwood seedlings may be grown
there and planted out In the field when
one year old. The seed of the desired
species may be purchased or collected
locally. gown In rows, and handled
much the same as vegetable seed. The
plants should be watered and cultivat'
ed, so that they will become as large
as possible during the season. After
the first Of September water should
be applied only to keep the ground
from drying out completely. This liz
necessary In order to harden the ten.
der wood to withstand frost.
Cuttings may BE used successfully
for growing the planting stock for such
trees as willows and cottonwo0ds.
These cuttings, which are best made In
the fall or early winter after the
leaves have fallen, should be about
ten inches In length and taken from
one-year-old or two-year-old twigs Of
vigorous, healthy trees. Cuttings
should be made always with slnnting
strokes Of very sharp knife. 80 AS
to avoid bruising the bark. II trees
free from seed, or BLOOM" as II is
sometimes called, are desired. cuttings
should be taken from trees which OBJ

seed. AS soon as the cuttings are
made they should be tied In bundles
Of about 90 and buried In cool,
moist, well-drained sand until spring
AS soon as possible in the spring, and
always before the soil dries out, the
cuttings should be set out, with the
buds pointing upward, leaving two or

ATTENTION TO STRAWBERRIES
December 10 Proper Month TO Provide
Protection for Winter, Says Col.
orado Expert.

ny J. J. GARDNER, Colorado Agrious-
tursI College. Fort collins)
December Is the month in which
strawberries are usually given winter
protection. There are several rea.
sons why this protection f. necessary :
First, to protect the plants from the
severe cold and drying winds in this
climate. and, second, 10 prevent in-
Jury to the roots caused by freezing
and thawing throughout tho winter.

The mulch is partially removed
from the plant rows In the spring
about blooming time, u sufficient

TO keep the berries clean during the
frulting season. 1t also assists in
conserving moisture.
Care should be taken not 10 cover
the beds too deeply nor allow the
mulch 10 remain on the plant rows
too long, else the plants may be smoth-

fore the trees are planted. Fan pIow-
ing is preferable. II manure Is to be
used, it should be applied at the time
Of blowing to enable 1t to decay. II
II Is placed fresh next to the roots at
the time OF planting, there is danger
Of s'burning" them. Although blowing
IL not absolutely necessary, 1t fs pro
ductive Of good results, and the bene-
fits are several times as great as those
secured by caring for the ground after
the stock is set out. 1t is still better
to use ground which has been under
cultivation for two or three years.
Young plants need just as much care
as a garden, and their growth will be
proportionate to the amount OF care
they receive.
Planting may be done In either Of
two ways: by the slit method or by
the individual-hole method.
Either of these methods may be
worked out In shallow furrow. 1t is
very desirable on sod ground to plow
furrow IL complete cultivation Of the
planting area cannot be carried out.
This will remove the grass cover and
win make the work much cheaper All
sod or grass cover should be removed
from space at least Is inches square
before tree is planted, provided 1t is
not set In a furrow.
Silt Method.
The slit method is the cheapest end
In light, sandy soils the best. A spade
Is used to open wedge-shaped hole
in the ground by moving 1t forward
and backward Into this opening the
tree roots are suspended full length,
and the earth is pressed firmly around
them by thrust OF the foot which
closes the hole.
Deep Hole Method.
A hole is dug wide enough and deep
enough to accommodate the tree roots
without crowdlng. Care should be ex-
erclsed in putting the soil back on the
roots to see that no large rocks or sods
are allowed to fall In, because OF the
possibility OF leaving air spaces, which
win cause the plant roots to dry out.
Holes never should be dug a long time
I'm advance OF planting, unless 1t be In
the fall, on account of the danger OF
drying out If there is hardpan or
stratum OF soil iInpervious to water
at the bottom, this should be broken
up thoroughly with tools or light
charge Of dynamite. Unless this ~
done the tree viii not thrive.
