Dairy Farmers See Need
of Well Built Ice House

The dairy farmers who smile during
the hot days are those who had the
foresight to lay In supply of ice last
winter.
Many other dairymen now see the
advantage Of having a large, cheap
supply Of Ice to keep their milk cooled
and are therefore thinking Of erecting
their own icehouses. A good house
can be built on the following plan.
says e. R Gross. professor Of rural
engineering at the New Jersey State
College of Agriculture:
The floor should be pebbles or gravel
to afford drainage. The foundation Of
masonry or concrete should extend
well into the ground and the capacity
Of the house will be increased II the
floor IL placed at the bottom of the
foundation. Make the foundation 9
to IL inches thick. Use 2 by S-inch
studding. with sheathing, building pa
per and weather boarding outside.
Sheathing alone on the inside will
make good house, but 1t Is still bet
ter II the inside wall is constructed of
two layers of Notwithstanding
against the studding. and the sheath
ing covered with tongued-and- -grooyed
boarding, with layer Of paper in be-
tween. An ordinary shingle roof left
open at the caves and with ventila-
tor at the ridge completes the building.
One and one-half to two tons of Ice
Is needed for each COW. One ton occu-
pies so cubic feet.
The packing Of the Ice is probably
the most important Of the things to be
observed in ice storage. The ice must
be cut evenly 80 1t will pack closely.
and crevices should be filled with
chipped Ice. The ice block. II properly
packed. is practically one solid mass
of Ice. On top. bottom and all sides
Of the Ice. pack not less than IL inches
of sawdust, chopped straw or other In
sulating material.

DAIRY
Best Feed Is Essential
Even With Dairy Cows

The best results from dairying fol-
low the combination Of good cows and
the right feeds. Without a correctly
balanced ration even good COW can
not yield profitable returns. Because
Of this fact the dairy specialists at
the Missouri College of Agriculture
are able to put dollars into the pock-
cts Of the dairymen who will apply
their recommendations.
profitable production In dairying
must begin with the feed" says E. N.
Harmon, extension dairy specialist.
without the right feeds no animal
can make milk and butterfat efficient
ly, no matter what her breeding. 1t
Is essential to have balance in the ra-
ton. The cows body and her product
-milk-are both made up primarily
of four kinds of constituents: Water.
protein. carbohydrates (and fats). and
mineral matter.
1.-THE water supply is of utmost i'm
portance. AS general rule the min
eral requirements will be satisfied II
plenty of legume hays are fed. This
leaves the protein and carbohydrate
requirements to be satisfied. Either
Of these cal.not replace the other any
more than the air in an automobile
tire can replace the gasoline in the
tank.
"Some feeds are high In protein
while others are high in carbohy-
drates. If we feed more Of one than
necessary to balance with the other
the excess will simply go to waste.
For instance an average farm ration
of 25 pounds Of corn sllage, 8 pounds
timothy hay, 4 pounds of corn chop
and l pound Of wheat bran supplies
enough carbohydrates to maintain the
body requirements of 1,0OO-pound
cow, and produce 20 pounds Of milk.
1t supplies only enough protein how
ever, to produce 4 pounds Of milk
after maintaining the body.
"By substituting a legume hay for
the timothy; adding a pound Of cot
tonseed meal and pound of bran and
reducing the corn chop to 3 pounds
we get a ration that will supply just
the right amounts of both protein and
carbohydrates to maintain the cows
body and produce 20 POUNDS of milk"

God alone knows where. Three days
after the burial this wanderer Of many
years returned, drove his saddle horse

For some days after his arrival the
girl did not even encounter this new
master. From dawn to dark he was
In the saddle, familiarizing himself
with every detail Of his new posses
sions. She had no desire to meet him,
for long ago his story had been told
to her-not by old Tom. who never
spoke his sons name, or the patient,
invalid wife, but by others, long in
the Meager service, glad now of an
opportunity to gossip with stranger.
1t was story Of brutal shame; Of
base ingratitude. verging on crime; Of
sudden disappearance; of vague ru-
mors floating back from here and
there, bearing the tale of wild. dis

had become the synonym of all that
was evil in this borderland. Yet now,
through some strange play of fate. he
was here and she was left helplessly
In his power, under his orders, wholly
dependent on him for employment.
The thought was almost maddening.
They finally met the morning of the
fifth day. unexpectedly, when. without
even knocking. the fellow strobe into

The girl, in her nurses uniform. arose

CHAPTER II

1t was the memory Of this scene
her promise to Mrs. Meager, and her
dislike Of Bob Meager-which left the
girl unobservant Of the desert view
outspread below, and thoughtless Of
the descending night. She had sought
this spot to be alone. to escape any
possibility Of encountering Bob, and
to turn over once more In her mind
the conditions which had made her
virtually prisoner. There had been
an expression in the mans eyes that
had frightened her more than she
would even confess to herself-an in.

Orjuin Of Hailbut.

The halibut Is a name Of Interesting
and unexpected origin, says Nature
Magazine. An approved spelling Of
the name is "holibut." and the deriva-
tlon Of the first portion Of the word
is the English "holy." "Butte" was
the old English name Of the founder.
and the name "holibut" or "halibut"
was formed from "holy" and butte"
as indicating that this important food
fish was much used as an article Of
diet for "holy" days or "holidays."
