Ice llarreatlnar.
Every year the use of Ice Increases.
It Is not merely a luxury, but becomes
a necessity as soon as Its value Is
known by experience. Ice In the dairy
Is almost Indispensable . for holding
milk and cream at. a proper tempera
ture. -
Ice should be cut with a saw Into
blocks of regular size, so that tbey will
pack solidly Into the Ice house without
leaving spaces between them. A regu
lar cross-cut saw with one handle re
moved will answer the purpose.
The Ice derrick Is convenient and
safer to use for lifting the cakes from
the water and hoisting Into the wag-
ICE DERRICK.
on or sleigh box. Use two strong
white oak poles to 'make the derrick
and sweep. The upright, B, may be
cut from any strong piece of lumber,
or made' up by spiking together two
pieces of 2x4 studding. It should be
12 to 15 feet long and well braced at
the base, as shown In the sketch. The
bottom should be smooth In order to
slide freely over the Ice.
The sweep, C, should be about 16
feet long, or over, with a rope attach
ed to each end. The sweep Is pivoted
on top of the upright, B, from one
quarter to one-third projecting over,
where the lee tongs are attached. The
remaining portion, with the rope, D,
attached gives plenty of leverage for
lifting the heavy cakes.
After a "season" of cutting Ice, the
two Icemen proceed to lift out and
load up. One seizes the tongs and
catches onto the floating cakes, while
the other man presides at the rope, D.
The sleigh should be In the handiest
position to swing the sweep around
and land the cake of Ice Into the box.
The combination style of Ice-house
represented In the Illustration lajiot
the best for all purposes, yet has some
features to recommend it. The sides
of the building are nine feet above the
ground and the height of the dairy
seven feet The outside walls of the
Ice-house are made of two-Inch planks,
ten Inches wide, set upright, with Inch
and a half planks nailed on the Inside.

other dry non-conducting material. The
partition wall between the dairy and
the Ice-house and "between the cool
room and the Ice-house Is half the
thickness, and not filled, thus forming
closed air spaces between the studs.

How to Drena and Ship Poultry.
Birds that are to be uiurketed should
be penned ten days before killing and
well fed. Withhold all food for twenty
four hours previous to killing, but give
plenty of clean water. Full crops in
jure the appearance and are linble to
sour, and when this does occur corre
spondingly lower prices must be accept
ed than obtainable for choice stock.
Kill .by bleeding In the mouth, hang
the bird by the feet until properly bled.
Leave head and feet on and do not le
move intestines or crop. For scalding
fowls, the water should be as near the
boiling point as possible without boil
lng 100 to 175 degrees Fahrenheit;
pick the legs dry before scalding ; hold
by the head and legs and Immerse and
lift up and down five or six times; If
the head Is Immersed It turns the color
of the comb and gives the eyes a
shrunken appearance, which causes
dealers to look on them with suspi
cion; the feathers and pin feathers
should then be removed immediately,
while the body Is warm, very cleanly
and without breaking the skin ; then
"plump" by dipping ten seconds in wa
ter, nearly or quite boiling, and then
Immediately Into Ice-cold water. The
shaping of poultry Is a very Important
point and well worth the extra trou-
yi
We. The bird-should be laid on Its
back on a table; the legs are drawn
up against the sides of the breast, as
though the bird were roosting; the
wings are also folded against the
body. " Then, while In this position, a

An authority siiys that on an acre
of rich, cultivated land $500 worth of
berries may be grown, and that an acre
should produce at the rate of 200 bush-
els. I
Causes for a short crop may be laid
at the door of laud deficient In
ity or plant food. Such land should
have, composted manure applied and
turned under and top dress. Ashes
should also be broadcasted. Another
reason Is Improper preparation of the
soil. Plow deeply and harrow until
fine, light and mellow. Agnln, there is
a poor crop when varieties ore planted
that are not adaptwl to that particular
kind of soil and climate. This can be
determined either by the success of
neighboring fanners of that locality,
or by testing a limited . number of
plants. Failure often comes from set-
tuig poor jimuui; mny uartiy, vigorous
plants should be imrchased. Careless-
Iy setting out plants will also cause a
shortage. They should not be exposed
to-the sun or wind before sertluz.
When put out the roots should be well
spread and fine dirt firmed around
them.
Using Imperfect fertilizers Is anoth
er cause. There is a sex In plants.
Pistlllates (female) must have ataml
nates (male) set with them to Insure
good crops. Cultivation must not be
neglected. The ground at all times
must be fine, mellow and free from
weeds. '
Both frost and drought are enemies
of a good crop, and the most difficult
to overcome. Berry fields well culti
vated are several degrees warmer than
uncultivated fields, therefore less lia
ble to damage by frost. Retain mulch
ing as late as possible- on strawberries
In spring.
Selecting Dairy Cows.
While there may be no Infallible rulo
by which a man can be govorned In se-
lecting a high-class dairy cow, there
are many points that will assist and If
carefully considered will prevent dis
appointment as a rule. Remember that
a cow Is a machine- and Is Intended to
change the different products on which
she is fed into something of more value.
There nre two distinct types of these
machines. One manufactures or con
verts feed Into beef; the other' Into
milk. There Is a very decided and pro
nounced difference In the type of the
animal that makes beef and the one
which manufactures milk. In the dairy
type we have an animal that Is angu
lar, thin, somewhat loose-Jointed and
with prominent bones. She Is wedge
shaped from the front, with a lean
head, moderately long face slightly
dished and a general contented expres
sion of the features. The muzzle 13
lurge, mouth large, nostrils wide and
open, a clear, full bright eye, a broad,
full and high forehead, ears medium
Blze, fine texture, covered with fine
hair and orange yellow Inside. The neck
is thin, nioderalely long, with little or
no dewlap,, and the throat is clean.

withers lean ami sharp, the shoulders

SuKfir and Rice.
In 1900 the farmers grew sugar beet
enough to make 483,000 tons of beet
sugnr, which, with the 272,000 tons of
caue sugar made In Louisiana and
Texas, Is enough" to supply the entire
population west of the Mississippi Riv
er and something over. In 1900 we
grew 800,000,000 pounds of rice, sub
stantially enough to supply homo de
mand. It Is the fanner's privilege to
grow everything the people need that
our soils will produce. Secretary Wil

The Sire Halt the Herd.
If breeders and dairymen would only
realize that "the bull Is half the herd,"
and how thoroughly In the course of
years, for good or 111, the blood and
characteristics of the bull Impregnate
and dominate any herd where he Is
used, tliere would be more care used
In the selection of the breeding bull.
If he prove to be a good sire, bis in
fluence for good will be felt for years;
If a poor one, It will take years to elim
inate from the ! erd the bad features he
has left behind.
Crop notation.
There are some crops that will nov
follow each other, nor will they follow
certain other crops, while, on the oth
