Storing Ice

In packing ice in farm icehouse
place the cakes close together to make
the mass as tight and solid as possible
to eliminate cracks and openings
through which air circulates, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
turc. When cakes are irregular in
size. fill the opening between cakes
with small pieces of ice. Broken ice
on top Of the cakes or projecting
pieces along the sides should be re-
moved. With sawdust or mill shaw
ings for insulation, leave at least a
12-inch space between the sides of the
ice stack and the walls of the building
and fill with dry sawdust or shavings
as the packing in the center of the
room proceeds. Also place a layer Of
dry sawdust about foot thick on the
bottom of the house. except in the mid
Gle. where the layer should be few
inches thinner so that the cakes will
have a tendency to slide toward the
center.

Game Favored as
Replacement Crop
Birds and Animals Will Aid
in Solving Farmers
Land Problems.

Prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture.-WNU Service.
Encouraging game birds and ami
mails will help solve the landuse prob
lens of farmers who have taken areas
of wheat, corn, and other crops out of
production, advises the bureau of bio
logical survey. Game, the bureau
points out. has value as source of
recreation and food for the landowner
and as an attraction to hunters who
will pay for shooting privileges or will
reimburse the farmer in other ways.
Game as a replacement crop will
also help prevent serious decrease
in this natural resource. says the bio
logical survey. In periods of econom-
ic depression. the value of game as
a food resource becomes more widely
appreciated, and squirrels, rabbits.
and game birds thus have a much
greater Importance than in times of
plenty. Under the pressure of in
creased hunting. however, game Is like
ly to be seriously decreased unless
something is done to aid it.
Many farmers. the bureau recog-
nizes, have sufficient interest in game

KEPT ONE JUMP
AHEAD OF RAIN
Veracious Driver Hangs Up
'sSome' Record.

When 1 was boy, Nathaniel S.
Cole of Lysander, N. Y, relates,
worked on a farm for man by the
name Of Caleb Stimson. He did
great deal Of buying and selling of
fast horses, but he was never salts
fed. No matter what he bought, the
horses never seemed quite speedy
enough for him.
Finally, Caleb heard of a very fast
team, in the West and Immediately
left by train to try to buy them. At
the end of a week who should drive
in but Caleb with the prettiest team
of horses that man ever laid eyes
on. / could see that Caleb was
mighty proud of them. They had
only one fault, he confided to me-
a deadly fear of thunderstorms. No
one could complain on the score of
their speed, for they passed a num-
Der of fast trains on the way home.
One day about an hour after Caleb
had left to drive to town / saw
thunderstorm coming up in the West.
Remembering what he had told me
of his horses fear 1 waited uneasily
for him. The storm came nearer and
nearer and finally could hear the
roar of the rain as it came in a solid
sheet down the road towards me.
Then l made out Caleb. The wag-
on was about 10 feet ahead of the
rain as l ran to open the barn doors.
When l looked again, the horses were
coming faster than the fastest ex-
press train and the rain had not
gained an inch. The lightning, how
ever, was flashing all about and in
particular about the wagon tires,

Handling Peat Soils

The first step in reclamation Of peat
or muck soils is thorough drainage.
Deep fall blowing. to hasten decom-
position. and rolling are beneficial on
the deeper peats. Seeding down to
timothy and pasturing for several
years is advisable with raw peat. The
second step in making peat land pay
is fertilizing. Peat contains from ten
to fifteen times as much nitrogen as
the common soils and is badly out Of
plant-food balance. If the peat Is fair
ly well decomposed. applications Of
phosphate usually are profitable.
About 200 pounds of potash, plus 200
pounds Of 20 per cent superphosphate.

n Outstanding in current foreign
~ news is the fact that Germany
and Poland have signed peace pact
that is to endure for ten years. The
treaty stipulates that during that Pc
Rod under no conditions is force to
be used in relations between these
countries. The successful negotiation
of this pact is considered great tri-
umph for Joseph Lipski, Poland's
minister to Germany, and for Foreign
Minister Joseph Beck, and the jubilant
Poles assert that their nation must
now be considered one Of the great
powers of Europe They are especial
ly proud of the way in which they
have blocked the plans Of Maxim Lit
vinov, foreign commissar of Russia,
who was trying to combine with Po-
land for a protectorate over the Bal
tic states. They appeared to be go
ing along with him but were secretly
conducting the negotiations with Ber-
lin.
According to European correspond
ents, one reason for Germany's rad
ical change of policy toward Poland
is Warsaw's Discrimination to become
in any way involved with the problem
of Austria, which is expected there to
turn Nazi in the near future. Polish
statesmen privately state Poland does
not oppose the Austro-G German an

is accomplished the question of OBJ
tanning a port on the Adrfatic sea
would become more important to Ger
many than the return Of the Polish
