And there’ll be balls and garden parties, and thein sort o’ things up at this house, L suppose, to celebrate your being growe:l up. . " The Squire (with further dignity)— No, Samuel, I think not. My taste does not lie in those directions.

THE FARMING WORLD. PERMANENT ICEHOUSE. N 6 Dairy Farm Should Be Without One of These Structures. The end view of an ice-house, designed for use on a farm, is illustrated below. The wall consists of T\;{urds standing perpendicularly and nailed to a light frame of 8 or 12 inch scantling at the top and bottem, with a third one in the middle to stiffen the sides, with similar boarding on the inside. Additional bracing will be found necessary unless the building is located i a sheltered place. Use building papér on the under side of the outside boards.

Use the kind of lumber suitable to the builders means, as the cost of the house will correspond with the quality: of the Ilumber used. The foundation is fixed to drain thoroughly and is filled to a depth of 6 inches with cobble stones. and a floor of 2 inch plank placed upon them. Have the floor boards an inch apart to allow drainage. Put 10 inches of sawdust on the floor or, if not available, use finely-cut rye straw. Oat straw is not as good for this purpose as rye, for being soft it packs too closely. In pufting in the ice, leave a foot of space between it and the wall and pack this with sawdusi or straw as the wall of ice. goes up. DPlace boards across the door spaces to prevent too heavy pressure on the doors.. When the house is full, put a layer of sawdust or straw 8 to 10 inches thick over the top. - The triangilar windows at the en:ds provide thorough ventilation, which is an essential matter in keeping ice. Much the extreme rapidity of the movements constructed, or a stock of ice buried with sawdust or straw will keep ice far into the summer. — ¥Farm and Home. :

THE AMERICAN DAIRY.

Destined to Become More Prominent from

Year to Year.

The dairy promises about as well it not better than any other branch o 7 farm industry. The well defined disposition of legislators is to put a stop to the competition of imitation butter, the chief complaint against which has been that it is sold as genuine butter. There is not much to fear on the part of dairymen with respect io oleomargarine competition if every pound of the stuff is sold for just what it is. No person whoe has studied its character will care to eat it; and the average consumer, even if he is ignorant of the character of oleomargarine, wants no imitation butter on his bread. Dat notwithstanding the laws that have been enacted providing for the plain marking of imitation butter, thousands of pounds are consumed on boarding-house, hotel and restaurant tables by those who suppose that they are eating butter, and every pound of it takes the place’of the honest product. The disposition, we repeat, is to put a stop to this fraud,.and probably within a year there will be universal Jegislation to accomplish this, and it will be greatly to the interests of the dairy. 'The fact, too, is becoming more generally recognized that the dairy is less drain upon the soil than almost any other branch of farming, and this is leading to the adoption of dairying. Then there is the old faet being more deeply impressed all the time that dairy- products are of comparatively swall bulk and can be more easily and anore cheaply shipped than other products of the farm. To all this may be added that winter dairying is being more and more generally followed, and as it is adopted, the profits 6f the business are greatly incredsed; and while there is a brightening future for beef production, it may be clearly seen that the American dairy will become more and more prominent.—l Farmer's Voice.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

It never injures a tree or vine to cut out the dead wood at any season. Black rot is caused by the growth of a fungus upon the affected parts of th» grape. ’ : Under no consideration should water be allowed to stand around the rocts of plants. : o

~ Gooseberries and currants are easily grown and there is rarely an oversupply of them. }

- Young strawberry plants are often killed by the application of strory fertilizers.

No other fruit requires so much mannre or such thorough cultivation as the quince.

During the early winter is a good time to haul out and spread manure in the orchard.

Sugar maple fs good either as a forest or an ornamental tree. It will do well on a rocky hillside. : Successful fruit growers are those that have clean orchards—this leans clear of rubbish as well as weeds.

Fruit trees, grape vines and busﬁé% have no place in the garden, as they draw nourishment from the soil. - One of the- most serious objections to giving the sheep the run of the orchard, especially at this time, is their propensity tc gnaw the bark of the trees. : Pruning when the plant is dormant tends to impart vigor, but if done when the plant is growing or in leaf it checks growth. For this reason a fceble tree should always be pruned in winter.—St. Louis Republie. -~ Wasting t.he People’s Money, The Califoinia state board ef highway commissioners sum up their investige lions as follows: “The people of the state spend beiween $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 yearly on their highways, yet it cannot be controvertéd that we are deteriorating in roads, R o 2 G PRy A R Rl e O It cennot be controverted that the WW-"‘”WWJWMW 1y and boneitly expended during e serfeot years. would give us the. grardot 1t in now blindly throw mn %f CORL AR e S e S S S s lanthing Sk e R Y

CARE OF MEADOWS. Stock Should Not Be Allowed to Tramp Over Them in Winger. : " Grass is an important part of the farm crops, and when stock is kept to consume the various products of the farm, from one-third to one-half the acreage of .the tarm can be kept in grass. to good advanlage. But with grass, as with all other crops, care must be taken to make the most out of it, When a good stand of grass is cnce secured, it will pay to give such treatment as'will insure a good growth and yiely. While - with 21l crops a rotation is necessary, yet generally when a good stand of grass is once secured, it will pay to keep the meadows in grass as long as profitable crops are secured. The principal reason for this is that it is more difficult to secure a good, even stand of grass than of other crops, and when once secured, good care should be given to preserve it. Seeding to grass is putting the land in good condition to manure. During the fall and early winter manure can be hauled out and scattered over the meadows with good results. The fall rains and melting snows will carry the soluble portions into the soil, and an increased growth and yield will be the result. Care must be taken: to scatter the manure evenly, and so that it will not lie in lumps. : . Many good farmers consider this one of the very best ways of manuring cropped down land. A fairly rich soil is essential to the growing of a good crop of grass, and manuring is as necessary with the meadows as with any other part of the farm crops. A

One mistake coften made in the man-agement-of the meadows is in allowing the stock to crop them down too close at this season. The grass plants need some protection during the winter, and one of the easiest ways of supplying it is by not grazing aown too clozse in jthe fall. The frosts will then kill down this growth, which will act as a mulch to protect the plants during the winter. Then, stock should not be allewed to tramp over the meadows during the winter, especially when the ground is soft, as thisenot only seriously injures if it does not entirely kill out the grass plants, but increases the waste when ~harvesting the next season’s hay crop. —St. Louis Republic.

PERISHABLE CROPS. Every Farm Should Have a Separate s House for Storing Them. There ought to be on every large farm a separate house for the storing of fruit, potatoes, roots and other perishable crops. The temperature can then be properly controlled, and pro er acconllm(?dat.;/on provided — sj'{())mg} thing the ordinary house cellar very inadequately secures. Where loose field or cobble stones are at hand in large numbers, either in piles or in the shape of useless old stone walls, an excellent plan is to make such a house : | e . 18 4 O SOMTLRYTE G, WAL WA Ot RS 7'§= \‘*{ ‘ ,‘; ",! & -5 o \?ﬁfb &ﬁ ST , \s{‘—4" by LM‘K‘J\, TS %‘ e i L O L% Loy ] VRS H 7 NN [e e - : & ‘l'7‘\; ”"Q\, 'A.v.

Where the stones' are right at hand a house can probably be built of them cheaper than of wood, and when well built nothing but the roof will ever need repairs, while the interior temperature will be much more equable than in a wooden building. This building gives opportunity to drive in on the upper floor, so that potatoes, apples, etc., can be unloaded into gently inclined troughs having a latticed work bottom that will sort whatever goes over it, and will convey the different sizes of fruit or tubers into “different receptacles. A team can be backed into the basement to load. Such a building will be wonderfully convenient, and where crops are large very profitable.. —lFarm Journal.

Apple Tree Experiments.

~ The, Nebraska agricultural experiment station has ‘issued a bulletin, from which the following practical conclusions are drawn: Trees in cultivated ground have darker and more vigorous foliage than those in sod ground, with less yellowing, dropping of leaves, or wilting in hot, windy days. Apples average 14 per cent. greater weight on cultivated lagd than on pasture land, and 17 per cent. greater than on mowed land. As to moisture, for every 100 barrels of water in 20 inches depth of soil on sod land, there were 140 in cultivated land. Evaporation, as one might suppose, was found proportionate to velocity of wind. . ’

Keeping Cabbage in Winter.

Most people bury icabbage for wine ter use, and if properly done it is the very best way to keep them. They are, however, not easily :got at when the ground is frozen or covered with snow. A part of the crop may be satisfactorily kept as follows: Trim the heads very closely, wrap in newspapers and pack in barrels. Set in a cool cellar and use as needed. ' They will not dry out or decay as when placed in the cellar without protection. If this process is followed, a quantity can be taken from the ground at one time.—lda Xays, in Troy Times.

There Is Money pl ¥arming.

Farmers claim that there is no “money in farming.” Compared with other occupations, it is as certain as any of them. There is not a merchant in this country or wmanufacturer who does not meet difliculties in his business. 'l'he farmer makes more money in proportion {o capital and labor invested than is derived in many other enterprises. All classes of business men must rely on the cost of raw materials and the future demands of the markets, and it may be added, that, like the farmer, their profits or losses depend largely on the weather also. A Woman’s Sound Opinion. / - The legislature of each state shouit pass a law for the establishment and maintenance of good roads.
