b Doctor Wheeler's interest In the
problem Of the blind, starting some
years ago, became intensified when the
war brought their numbers, both here
and abroad, to highly increased
total. In going through the various
departments Of the company's electric
al manufacturing plant at Ampere, N.
J., of which hey is president, he noted
the fact that girls skilled in winding
wire coils performed their work with
out watching the movements Of their
hands, as touch typist or a plano
player ignores her fingers. The coll
winding girls chatted and laughed
among themselves as they worked, and
their work was satisfactory. Doctor
Wheeler then blindfOlded himself and
attempted to wind a coil. He proved
to his own satisfaction that here was
work which, with little practice, the
sightless could do on par with nor
NAL workers.
Proves a Success.
The Double Duty Finger Guild was
the direct result. That is the name
given to the department, employing
only men and women without sight.
This department has been In success
full operation for three years in the
Croker Wheeler factory, and It has
ceased to be considered an experiment
or even an innovation.
At first special instructors were en-
gagged and small group of blind were
set to work at winding the wire coils.

U. S. BUTTER EXPORTS SMALL
This Country Furnishes Less Than I
Per Cent of Product That Fig
ures In Trade.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In spite Of vast grazing lands In the
United States this country furnishes
less than 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 fuctuation in this
country's exports Of butter, the
amount frequently dropping to less
than one-third of the total for the big
years. Che 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.

ROADS
MANY GOOD-ROAD PROJECTS
Oklahoma Leads Country in Size Of
Single Scheme Handled During
the Month of July.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Among the special features of the
recent federal aid road record as kept
by the United States department of
agriculture are three road projects to
cost over $1,000,0OO, one of them over
S2,000,000. Pennsylvania had first
place in the number of statements ap-
proved during July, the amount of
federal aid allowances, and the esti-
mated cost of roads to be construct
ed, while Nebraska turned in the
greatest mileage. Seventeen projects
in Pennsylvania approved will cost
S4,607 ,02S.41 for which the federal aid
Is $1,968 ,997. 40. Ohio with IL projects
came next to Pennsylvania in the
number approved and in the estimat-
ed cost of the roads to be improved,
and third in the amount of federal
aid.
Oklahoma's two projects occupy
third place for the month in the esti-
mated cost of the roads and second
in the amount of federal aid allow

the size of single project handled
in July. 1t is estimated to cost ST.
71,55560 for which 100000 federal
aid is allowed.
In the record of approvals for the
month Of August Arkansas occupies
first place in the estimated cost and
mileage of projects and in respect to
the largest project. Minnesota is first
in the total number of projects ap-
proved, namely IL, and second in the
amount Of federal aid allowances.
Pennsylvania received the largest
amount of federal aid and her six
approved projects come second in the
estimated cost of the roads.
On a Massachusetts, project, a short
concrete road, the estimated cost is
at the rate of $127,S64 a mile. This
is the highest average cost per mile
so far shown in any federal aid road.
A bituminous brick or concrete road
in Ohio will average $67,716 a mile
and TIA miles of concrete or brick in
Pennsylvania will average $64,O15,
while another project in Pennsylvania
will average $56,443 per mile.

ment of Agriculturs)
Each year dairymen lose thousands
of dollars from returned sour milk,
poor butter and low-quality cheese.
These losses are largely due to I'M
proper cooling of milk and cream on
the farm, according to dairy special
lists. For good results milk and cream
should be cooled to so 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-whether
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 a low temper
allure for delivery two or three times
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 30 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 I'M
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. 1t 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 may be 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 field of sufficient size to fill the
Ice house at a single cutting, as the
thickness and quality of the ice will
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1920-01-22

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 a second crop in
order to fill the ice house. The aver
age farmer requires only a 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
Is shown in the following table. Size

Few Tools REQUIRED,

When a 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 a
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 a calking bar are convenient and
will help to expedite the work of Ice
harvesting.

Of power, little extra outlay is neces-
sary. Most Of the outfits may be OPP

The cost of cutting cord of wood
with buzz saw is approximately 20
cents. All small trees and cordwood
can be cut readily with a buzz and
circular saw, but logs above 10 to IL
inches in diameter can be cut best
with a drag saw, although the latter
will not cut 80 rapidly. The saving
outfit may be owned comparatively or
may be used for custom work.
