into a refrigerator it has Il 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 a field and kept
all summer by simply putting a 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 a cube of
ice twelve feet through in a 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 q 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

alright, but it must be porous enough
to allow water to percolate through.
For this reason a base formed of rough
stones covered with cinders and the
cinders covered with a foot of saw
lust 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 a good deaf in packing the
Ice In the house to make it keep well.
1t should be put in during cold wealth
er and all the chinks carefully filed
with broken ice and the whole mass
well frozen together by pouring on
water. BY doing this very carefully
the Ice can be frozen together almost
solid so the air will al, be forced out.
There should be a space OF a foot
between the ice and the sides of the
house all around and this foot filed
in with sawdust tamped down. The
sawdust should be at least q foot
deep on top of the ice; IS inches is
better.
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-
f%rigerator. Daring 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

In Winter.

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 a 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 a pre-
cooling room, IL by IA 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

When Louis XIV chose Versailles as the site for
his new palace and park 1t had little to commend

an adequate water supply. A chateau of Louis
XIII, however, was situated there. The grand
monarch lavished vast sums in laying out, COM

1852, and from that time for more than 100 years
Versailles figured prominently in history. Louis
XIV dwelt here and Madame de Pomadour and
Madame du Barry reigned over this vast pleasure
establishment. Here, too. Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette resided. In the palace was signed the
treaty Of 1TS3 between England, France and Spain.
on the same day on which the definite treaty Of
peace In which England recognized the independ-
ence Of the United States was signed In Paris.
The meeting Of the states-general. the opening act
Of the French revolution, took place here on May
4. 1850. Since then 1t has never been used as a resi-

French government established itself at Versailles
and carried on war against the Paris commune. 1t

The palace Is composed of a central square, two
wings at the right and left of II, and a third wing

ings solid enough to be permanent.
There are concrete floors laid as a
foundation for the insulation. Above
the regular insulation is q carefully
made floor of cement.
The walls and ceiling are made the
same as the floor with the exception
of the concrete floor u~nderlayer.
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 and
have lower ceilings. The space be-
tween these ceilings and roof is util-
lied 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 co~ld-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 1t to the packing
house in packing trays. The man In
charge keeps track of each farmers
account and renders a statement the
first of each month.
Ice Easily Kept.

ball a veteran player impressed upon
me the necessity of keeping my eye
ten it. 1t has become second nature
with me. and yet l never step to the
plate that the warning, Keep your
eyes on the ball. does not hash through
my mind.
Next to keeping his eye on the ball
batter must learn to hit with a
free and easy swing. He must not
hold his elbows tight against his
sides. 1t is impossible to get a free
swing If the elbows are bound By
this / do not mean they should be
held out from the body. but they
must be given all the freedom of ac-
ton that is possible.
Hitting power is generated in the
wrists. forearms and the muscles be-
hind the shoulder blades. Therefore.
it is necessary to drive a ball hard to
get your shoulders in the swing. 1t
is not necessary to swing so hard
that you spin all the way around.
The man wEo swings in this way
loses time in getting away from the
plate. Getting started quickly to-
ward first base is something that de-
mands close attention. Many a base
hit has been lost by slow start from
the plate and many a base hit has
been made by getting away quickly.
The batter who swings completely
around loses hts balance and before
he RECEIVERS himself he has lost the
equivalent of at least two full strides.
Two strides of, say, five feet each mean
that he has lost more than three
yards in the thirty-yard dash to first.
And three yards is quite a handicap.
There are many more things about
batting, but these are the chief things
to remember and to practice"
