Specializing often Wins.

Many persons do not market by par
eel post because they do not have
large variety of produce or because
their supply is available only part OF
the year. While it is true that a con-
tinuous supply of number of products
is more satisfactory TO customers, such
a supply is not absolutely necessary
in order to establish parcel post
trade.
Many persons have secured custom
ers by specializing in one or two KINDS
of produce, such as butter or eggs,
which can be supplied during the en-
tire year, and then these customers
have offered an outlet for other COM
modities which can be furnished only
occasionally or for produce which Is
rarely to be had in city markets. Id
most of these cases it was necessary
only to send q letter or card to satis-
fed regular customers asking them II
they wished to obtain certain kinds OF
produce that were for sale at thai
time.
Such letters tend to keep up per
sona1 relationship between the pro-
Queer and his customers which makes
it easier to keep up business relations

into refrigerator it has mission
to perform. 1t Is required to take the
heat out of other material to, preserve
food products and it must dissipate it
self in the process, while ice is placed
in the ice house to stay, to be pre-
served until wanted for use.
An open shed will preserve ice, or
it may be piled up in field and kept
all summer by simply putting cover
over it to keep off the rain and an
inner cover of sawdust to keep out
the air. Such a crude way of keeping
ice is necessarily wasteful, but not to
the extent popularity supposed.
Roof Must Be Tight.
1t is quite possible to put cube of
ice twelve feet through in cheaply
constructed building and so pack it
with sawdust as to keep it in a very
satisfactory way until wanted during
the summer months. The roof must
be tight because water dropping often
in the same spot will bore hole
through the sawdust covering down
to the ice; warm air will follow and
we all know that air must be kept
away from ice or it will melt rapidly.
Drainage is another very important
consideration. The bottom must be

Meeting Labor Demand.

Although the largest acreage on
record was planted in 1918 by Ameri-
can farmers, the great crops of the
year were harvested under difficulties
not appreciably greater than those in
normal times, says the annual report
of the secretary of agriculture.
''The department of agriculture con-
tinued throughout the year to give
earnest attention to the securing and
mobilization of an adequate supply of
farm labor" the report states. ut
maintained its representatives, sta
toned in eacn state in the spring of
1917, and perfected its own organiza-
ton, enlising the more active CO.
operation of the county agents and
other extension workers.
SIT more fully co-ordinated its activ-
tiles with the department of labor,
representative of the department OF
agriculture having been designated
member of the war labor policies
board which was created by the presi-
dent. 1t has also aided the war de-
partment in connection with the clas-
sifcation of agricultural registrants.
Special efforts were made, beginning
early in the year, to impress upon the
residents of urban communities the
necessity of aiding farmers in the
planting and harvesting Of their crops.
1.-THE response to appeals along this
line was generous. In Kansas, for ex-
ample, where the situation was espe-
cially difficult, the reports indicate
that more than $4,000 workers were
to farmers to assist in the
wheat harvest, The potato crop in
two counties in Texas was saved
the aid of the business men in
the local communities, and in Illinois
5000 workers were registered for
harvest work"
Many other examples could be cited,
the secretary Says.

subject of building. for the readers OF this
paper. On account of his wide experience

In some sections of the country
farmers are building cooperative cold
storage plants for the proper storage
before shipment of perishable farm
products.
The accompanying Illustrations
show the perspective and floor plan
of a moderate-sized, well-built cold
storage building. 1t is intended to
encourage the proper boxing and ship
ping Of farm produce in way that
Will secure the respect of purchasers.
Produce properly handled, uniformly
packed in the proper carriers and
shipped in refrigerator cars pleases
customers and assures future sales.
The plan of this cold-storage plant
provides a packing room where the
work of handling is done to the best
possible advantage.
Next to the packing room is pre-
cooling room, II by ii feet in size.
This is for the purpose of taking the
heat out of newly arrived fruit and
truck from the farms before being
loaded into refrigerated cars or places
in the cold-storage room proper. In
either case this preceding room an

swers as an ante-room to prepare the
candidate for further icing.
The cOld-storage room is 81 by IA
feet in size, with a high ceiling to
hold produce in considerable quantity.
The other roomein the main part of
the building holds the ice.
Good Construction Required.
To be satisfactory a cold-stora$e
building requires good construction.
This plan provides a good, solid, con-
crete foundation with walls and foot
fngs solid enough to be permanent.
There are concrete floors laid as
foundation for the insulation. Above
the regular insulation is a carefully
made floor of cement.
The walls and ceiling are made the
same as the floor with the exception
of the concrete floor underlayer.
Waterproofed insulating board is
used all around the cold-storage room
and the ice room, as shown in the
cross sections.
1t will be noticed that the packing
room and preceding room are built
in the annex to the main building ana
have lower ceilings. The space be-
tween these ceilings and roof is util-
fzed for the storage of packing mate
rails.
Such buildings are useful in COM
munities where small fruits and veg
etables are grown to be shipped some
distance to large market sections. The
man in charge of the cold-storage
plant attends to the packing and load
ing, so that the packages are uniform
and true to weights, measures and
grades. The farmers simply grow
the stuff and haul it to the packing
house in packing trays. The man IN
charge keeps track of each farmers
account and renders statement the
first OF each month.
Ice Easily Kept.
1t is easy to keep ice all summer
IL you know how. When ice is Stored
away for summer use and leaks away
before it is wanted there Is reason
for it. In the first place there must
be sufficient quantity Of ice together
to keep cold, and there must be pro-
lection against warm air and there
must be no leak In the roof.
Some of the first farmer ice houses
were built underground or partly so.
1t often happened that drainage was
imperfect and that water accumulated
IN and around the bottom Of the house
and melted theic 50 that by the mid |

ing brush or rubbish, where in most
cases water is not available, an Or
ganized neighborhood fire company
equipped with ii chemical cart would
be of the greatest utility.
The Office of farm management of
the United States department of agri-
culture has FOR some time urged the
use of chemical apparatus as more
effective than water against fires on
the farm, especially where kerosene,
gasoline or other oil is involved, and
as an indispensable reinforcement to
the use of water in all cases. That is
secured in the California plan together
with an even more effective thing, the
organization of the men of the COM
munity in such way that they can
make their efforts almost Immediately
effective against any fire.

die of summer, sometimes even Re
fore the month Of June, the ice would
all be gone.
Years ago it was considered neces-
sary to make very expensive walls to
keep the ice from melting and great
many experiments have been conduct
ed for the purpose of finding out the
best way to build Ice houses. The
right principle of refrigerator build
ing has confused builders of ice
houses, and some of them have not
yet recognized the difference.
An ice house is intended to preserve
ice while refrigerator is intended to
make use of it, economically, of
course, but when piece of ice is put

alright, but it must be porous enough
For this reason a base formed of rough
stones covered with cinders and the
cinders covered with a foot of saw
dust makes a good bottom. A very
satisfactory substitute is made by
laying small round poles in the bottom
of the ice house covered with straw
and the straw covered with sawdust
about a foot deep.
There is q good deal in packing the
ice in the house to make it keep we'll.

with broken ice and the whole mass
well frozen together by pouring on
water. BY doing this very carefully

solid SO the air will all be forced out
There should be space of a foot
between the ice and the sides of the
house all around and this foot filled
in with sawdust tamped down. The
sawdust should be at least foot

Must Have Attention.
A great deal of ice is lost during
the spring months when the weather
is getting warm, but not warm enough
to require the use of ice in the re-
frigerator. During these weeks the
ice house is forgotten, and it melts
a little and settles. The settling proc
ess opens cracks in the wet sawdust
and some of these cracks will extend
through to the ice. After the house
is filled and covered with sawdust it
should have attention at least once
a week. If the sawdust is kept packed
down well all around and on top the
ice cannot melt very much.
There are other details to think
about, such as ventilation and shade.
1t is great help to have the house
shaded by a large tree or another
building. When the sun beats down
hot on top of the roof the temperature
inside the building is great deal
higher than it would be with the roof
shaded.
In choosing the location convent
ence in using the Ice should be con-
sidered in preference to convenience
