ICE HOUSE LOCATION VITAL
OF Much Importance on Dairy Farm
That Site Should Be Placed Close
to the Milk House.

Selection for site for an ice house
Is very important. Other conditions

dairy farm should be placed as near
as possible to the milk house, In or

department Of agriculture. On a gen.
eral farm the Ice house should be 10

The very fact that some % federal In
spectOrs are available at any time has
had a wholesome effect upon the en-
tire business OF marketing fruit, Fege
tables, and butter. The dishonest few
now know that they are taking big
chances if they make fraudulent
claims regarding shipments. The hon
est differences which inevitably arise
between buyers and sellers at times
are settled more speedily ard with less
friction and misunderstanding.
Special Advice fer Farmers.
The service employs Ave plant
pathOlOgists who specialize in diseases
that affect fruits and vegetables in
transit From their reports more than
one farmer has learned OF some dis
ease that has been inJUring his crops.
and has been able to remedy the con-
dition.
The inspectors are particularly in
demand when the market condition IS
bad. When buyers are reluctant to
accept shipments that are doubtful
they are only too glad OF a government
certificate which shows conciusively
the exact condition in which the goods
were received. Likewise, the service
enables shippers TO procure conclusive
evidence OF the soundness OF products
which otherwise might be subject to
undertaking because Of an unfavora-
Bile market.

TOM GOT ANOTHER GOOD COW

Unfortunate Boy.

Tom Jenkins-that isn't his real
name. but IL viii dO-waS very proud
Of his COW. He used to so out TO the
barn and curry her, like a horse. and
doll her up" and tie a blue ribbon
around her tail. He was figuring on
her being the best COW owned by any
Of the Boys and Girls club members
In MerTimack county, New Hamp-
shire. But once in a while Tom Jen-
6ins would grow solemn.
''CricketS," Tom would say TO him
self; suppose something happens to
my cow"
Something did happen The COW be-
came sick and died, while she was still
dry, and without returning a cent.
That took ali the Joy out OF life for
Tom. He mOped around. and once or
twice he went out to the barn and
looked at the place where she had
stood.
I'm In for it." he SAID. My COW Is
gone, and / owe the bank every cent
she cost. It'll take million years to
pay it back. Just my luck I ought
TO have known better than to join that
club"
Tom wasn't so far wrong at that.
When a boy loses a COW these days IL
means something. Older people would
feel just as bad. especially If. like Tom.
they still had to pay for the cow. with
no way Of doing it.
But Toms club leader heard about
it. He knew that none of the club
members was rich. but he told them
about Toms bad luck. And somehow.
Toms plight appealed to them, for
many had borrowed money to start
them in club work. They began to
send in little contributions. \ gar
den and canning club sold popcorn at
the farm bureau field day and turned
over $3.50 fo- Tom jenkins COW. In a
month there was enough money to buy
Tom a new cow-one that would return
enough money to pay for the COW that
had died. And she's doing IT.

1 PROBE ASSURES MORE GAS
The Industrial Court Promised Better
Service This Spring by the
Wichita Natural Officials

A. r. Hamilton. statistician for the
Doherty interests has promised better
service on the Wichita natural gas
lines Some days ago the industrial
court sent T. G. Stricken, engineer
ton OF the gas pressure, and an init
nation reached Mr. Hamilton that the
state might begin some criminal
prosecutions.
Mr. Hamilton came to Topeka for
a conference with Mr.. Stricken about
the low gas at Wichita, Hutchinson,
Newton and other towns. Strickler
had found the company was allowing
only about ten pounds pressure to en-
ter the intermediate distributing sys-
TENS The result was there WIS no
gas in even normal weight.
By the terms Of the agreement
reached at the conference. the pres
sure on the intermediate lines is to
be increased to fifteen pounds for nor
NAL weather. then gu up to twenty
pounds for the colder spring weather.
That will provide plenty OF gas for
normal spring use, but on the cold
days will not give sufficient pressure
for everyone on the lines to have plen-
ty for heating. lighting and cooking.
The Wichita Natural asserts il is
losing about $4,000 a year and re-
fuses to attempt to supply gas for
the maximum load in the winter
months at the present prices. How.
ever, as q result of the conference,
much better service in the milder
days of spring is assured.
