on farms whore there Is no ice house.
The mild character of the early part
Of the winter of course, has made the
potential supply of ice less than usual.
but the actual supply--much greater
than will be gathered-ls adequate for
all needs. 1t is not necessary that ice
be of any particular thickness. Six
inch ice is desirable, but it is not es-
sential. Four-inch or even three-inch
ice will serve every purpose that
ticker ice could be made to serve.
And it does not require weather very
cold and lOng-contlnued to put three
or f0ur-inch coat over the pond.
The department of agriculture rec
ommends neighborly cooperation in
ice harvesting. Two, three, or more
families joining forces and using the
same pond or stream, If convenient,
can do the work much more easily and
expeditiously than the working force
of one farm alone ordinarily can do
it. Also, when done by two or more
families Jointly, Ice harvesting par
takes of the nature of d picnic ard
the work is done without anybody
thinking of it as a disagreeable task.
The cutting Of ice issa very simple
operation. The method recommended
by the department of agriculture is
to mark off the pond in rectangular
figures Of convenient size, then to saw
out a strip from shore to shore and
force it under the ice, leaving an open
channel to the bank. Pieces as lartye
as can be handled are then sawed ort
on either side, pulled ashore by men
with ice hooks or by a horse on the
bank, then loaded On the wagon or
sled.
The method Of storing varies. If
the ice is to be stored in properly
constructed ice house with commercial
insulation little packing is needed. RI
a house not equipped with commercial
insulation or some other makeshift
storage space Is used the ground
should be covered with - inches Of
sawdust or planing-mill shavings he
fore the ice is put in. A 12-inch space
should be left between the ice and the
walls and should be tightly filled in
with sawdust or shavings, and cover
Ing of IS inches of sawdust or shaw
ings should be placed over the ice.
Planing-mill shavings are preferable
to sawdust being more absorbent and
not so much inclined to pack. Whether
sawdust or shavings are used care
must be taken that the material is
thoroughly dry.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP root

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,

cine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi'
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
II IS sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a

Il can be said broadly that most human

category as taxation, in that he wants
practical results early. Gov. Roberts

inheritance Tax Law.

Last week was for the greater part
taken up with local legislation, and
but few important measures received
the attention of the solons. The bill
providing for the state railroad com
mission to assess large corporate in
terests was passed. The house passed
the inheritance tax law, which places
a tax upon sums inherited, includ ng
insurance, government bonds, etc.
This bill is one of the special reform
measures of the administration, and
will place tax upon property that has
been escaping taxation. Under this
act non-taxable government bonds may
be taxed when they become inherit
anee.

CHANCES Name Of Commission.

Senate Bill 314, which was offered
as the latest taxation and assessment
reform or remedy introduced at the
suggestion OF Gov Roberts, embodies
his ideas Of proper legislation to cor
rect unsatisfactory conditions in regu-
lation and assessment This bill
changes the name of the Tennessee
railroad commission to railroad and
public utilities commission of the
State of Tennessee. The measure, in
addition to changing the name, gives
the commission complete control of
regulation of all public utilities. 1t
adds to the duties and it is said pro-
vides legislation that vitality interests
the corporations and tile public. This
bill is one of the measures designated
to make the railroad commission a
very active central head Of assess
ment and taxation in the state.

Fairly Safe Storage May Be Sc
cured in Cellar, or Some 9th

LIBERAL USE OF sAWDUST
Many other Advantages Besides Keep.
ing MIX Cool During Heated Term
There Appears to Be No
Justification for Neglect.

Probably the greatest advantage
from having farm ice house properly
filled is that the milk may always be
kept cool. But there are score OF
other advantages not to be ignored.
Some Of them pertain to things that
may be classed as-summer luxuries?
no, summer necessities. Ice cream,
iced tea, lemonade, buttermilk, iced
watermelons, iced cantaloupes, iced
fruits-every one of them an item in
the summer diet that can be regarded
az contributions to the health, happi-
ness and prosperity of the family. I'm
less there is natural ice in the farm
ice house, they are rarely to be had.
Even If the head Of the family is
perfectly willing to bear the expense
of buying artificial ice, the time is
sure to cOme-in most cases, it comes
frequently-when there is not time to
get the Ice out from town, times when
everybody is busy in the harvest or
hay field and when the familiar but dis
heartening plea Of ''let it wait till to-
morrow is heard and must be heed

Ice Relieves Suffering.


Indeed, 1t can be needed with some
degree of patience when the ice would
mean only more palatable dessert
for dinner. But, on one of those hot
harvess days, one of the men is
brought in Overheated from the field,
or one Of the children becomes sud-
denly i'll Of something that an ice
pack would go long way toward re-
lleving. Such things seem to occur
just at those times when the icebox
is empty-and the need is so urgent
that there is no time for going to town
for ice. Unnecessary suffering is the
inevitable result--inevitable except
when there is on the farm an ice house
filed from the pond or stream during
the winter.
The harvesting Of ice Is SO simple
matter that there appears no justi-
fication for its neglect by those who
live In natural ice regions. Yet, the
fact remains that many such do neg
lect 1t. Even for those who have not
a regularly constructed ice house, there
are possibilities. Ice may be stored
and kept with fair degree of success
in the cellar, corner of the wood
shed, in any one of score of hooks,
to be found about every farmstead.
Such storage places cannot be recon-
mended for permanent use. They en-
tail a much heavier loss by melting
than do properly constructed houses.
But, with the proper use Of sawdust,
planing-mill shavings or other cheap
insulator they can be made to keep
ice through the summer. The United
States department of agriculture
goes so far as to say that, where ice
is abundant and the cost Of gather
ing it low, storage in makeshift places
may be more economical than the
building of scientifically constructed
houses. and does not hesitate to recon-
mend it as an expedient to serve until
there is time for the construction Of
the right sort Of house.
Thick Cakes Not Essential.
OF course, if the ice is to be avail
able for next summer, there is no time
for constructing houses now. This is
nearly the last call for filling the
houses already built-and for making
nse of such expedients as are possible
