Good Field Tor Films.

Several pictule-producing companies
have of late secured English estates
for their work; and 1T is reported that
the Oatlands Lodge estate, of twenty
acres, has been acquired by one OF
the oldest British film-making con-
Germs. This lodge is part of the for
mer royal domain of Oatlands, which
was veritable rendezvous Of mon
arcfs in time past Henry VIII, Queen
Elizabeth, James / and Charles all
stayed there at different times. To
gether with its historic traditions, Oat-
lands Lodge has such an attraction
as the remains of a subterranean pas
sage, "a relic which no doubt will be
very useful to the film producer.

In spite of vast grazing lands in the
United States this country furnishes
less than 1 per cent Of the butter that
figures in world or international trade,
according to statistics recently COM
piled by the United States department
Of agriculture. However, the same
fact. expressed in terms Of the total
number Of pounds Of butter exported.
does not look so Insignificant, since
the annual total for at least one year
in each Of the last six decades has
approached 100000 pounds. There
has been marked fiuctuation in this
country's exports Of butter, the
amount frequently dropping to less
than one-third of the total for the big
years. The relation between domes-
tic and foreign prices has been the
determining factor in these changes
During the last few years our exports,
small as they are relatively, have been
going to 20 different countries, col
onies, and dependencies.

Each year dairymen lose thousands
of dollars from returned sour milk,
poor butter, and low-quality cheese.
These losses are largely due to inn
proper cooling of milk and cream on
the farm, according to dairy special
lists. For good results milk and cream
should be cooled to 80 degrees or lower
and held there; and as this usually can
best be done by the use of ice, dairy
men should take advantage of any
nearby lake or stream to obtain
supply Of ice for next year.
Ice Costs Little.
The ice harvesting season fortunate
ly comes at time when there is the
least work on the farm for men and
teams, and consequently the actual
money cost is usually not very great.
The quantity of ice needed depends
upon the location Of the farm-whetler
in the North or in the South, the num-
Der of cows MIXED, and the method Of
handling the product. In the northern
states it has been found that, with a
moderately good ice house, one-half of
ton of ice per COW is sufficient to
cool cream and hold it at low temper
allure for delivery two or three times a
week. One and one-half or two tons
per COW should be provided where milk
is to be cooled.
Capacity of Ice Houses.
A cubic foot of ice weighs about 81
pounds. so in storing ice it is custom
airy to allow from 40 to 90 cubic feet
per ton for the mass Of ice. At least
II inches must be left between the ice
and the wall Of the building for in
sulation, unless the ice house has per-
manently insulated walls and an un-
usually large space for insulation be-
meath and above the ice.
Where a lake, pond, or stream Of
clear water is not available, some pre-
liminary work in preparing the ice
field will be required before freezing
weather sets in. It is therefore advis-
able to make all plans for the work as
soon as possible. Water for the ice
supply should be entirely free from
contamination or pollution. Ponds and
sluggish streams usually have grass
and weeds growing in them, so that the
ice harvested is likely to contain de-
cayed vegetable matter, which is al
ways Objectionable. They should,
therefore, be thoroughly cleared Of
such growths before the Ice has formed.
In some sections it is necessary to
impound the water for producing ice.
This maybe done either by excavating,
and diverting a stream into the ex-
cavation, or by constructing dams
across low areas. In localities where
very low temperatures prevail for sew
'eral weeks at time, and the supply
Of pure water is limited, blocks Of ice
may be frozen in metal cans or in
special fiber containers.
In harvesting ice it is desirable to
have a field of sufficient size to fill the
ice house at a single cutting, as the
thickness and quality of the ice will

Few TooIs REQUIRED.

When small quantity of ice is to be
harvested, but few tools are required.
The following list contains those actu-
ally needed for harvesting ice on
small scale: Two ice saws, one hand
marker, one pulley and rope, two pairs
of ice tongs, two ice hooks, one pointed
bar, and one straight edge. While
these tools are all that are necessary,
additional ones, such as the horse pillow
and marker, horse scraper and marker.
and calking bar are convenient and
will help to expedite the work Of ice
harvesting.

be more nearly uniform, and the neces-
sary preparation for cutting and har-
vesting need be made but once. In
many instances, however, the size of
the pond or stream is such that it is
necessary to wait for second crop in
order to fill the ice house. The aver
age farmer requires only compare
lively small quantity of ice, so that
even a small harvesting surface will
usually prove large enough, especially
if ice is cut the second time. The
square feet of surface required per ton
when the Ice is Of different thicknesses
