A CHEAP ICE HOUSE.
The following, by a correspondent of the
New York Farmers' Club •will furnish in
formation desired by many at this season l
see in the papers a great many inquiries
about the best method of making a small
ice house. I want to give my experience
for the benefit of the thousands of small
farmers who need plenty of ice, and are not
aware how cheap a luxury it is. Several
years ago I built me an ice house on the
back end of my wood shed, twelve feet
square on the outside, walls fifteen inches
thick, and , filled it with pine sawdust, a
board floor with sawdust a foot thick under
it, and well under-drained; a floor over
head and filled in with sawdust between it
and the roof; the door was double and
filled in with sawdust. I congratulated
myself on having got everything so snug
and tight that no heat could get in, and'ex
pected my ice would last until the winter.
I filled it with the finest ice -;;and to make
the matter doubly sure I covered 'it with
sawdust. It lasted until the middle of
July, so that just , when I needed it most it
was gone. I was told it needed ventilation.
I put in a tube fonr Inches square and tried
it another year; it kept searce the same. I
then tore out the floor, overhead and left
out a small 'window fifteen inches by two
feet; it then kept until September first.
A year.or two`'ago, I had my attention
called VO' an foe house built by , a farmer near
me, Which was simply a bin made with
rough boards, sixteen 'feet square, and
roofed over, leaving, a large opening at the
front and , sides. He said his ice kept per
fectly until the next winter. He put on a
layer of`sawdust about a fciot thick on the
giounct, then stacked the ice snugly in
the centre, eighteen or twenty inches frond
the walla, and then filled in with sawdust,
and up over the top a foot or more thick.
Last winter,•before filling my ice house, I
determined to try his method. I accord-
ingly tore out the 'inside wall, and shov•-
eled out the sawdust, then filled by stack
ing it snugly in the centre fifteen or
twenty inches from the wall. This space
filled in with pine sawdust, and covered the
whole over the top a foot thick or more. I
left out the window before mentioned, and
took doWn Iv door and left' it all open, so
the sun can shine in there every day. Now
for results. At the present time I have an
abundance of ice, and the, cakes seem to
come out as square and perfect as when
they went in, seemingly nothing lacking
exceptin. b what is used out. lam satisfied
how to build an ice house.
FATTENING FOWLS.
Though in general fowls, when in health,
will become. sufficiently fat by having
plenty of foal _with air and exercise, yet
they are sometimes fatted for market by,
'keeping them in' donfinement, with abun-
Amoe of food and little light, so that, in
fact; they have nothing to do but eat. It,
is a common practice with some to coop
their fowls for a week or two, under the
:notion of improving them for the table, and
increasing their fat; a plan which, how
.ever, seldom succeeds, since the fowls gen
erally pine for the loss of liberty, and
Slighting their food, lose, instead of gain
gditional flesh. Such a period is, in fact,
'too short fOr i them to become accustomed to
confinement. It takes several weeks to
l'atten fowls 'confined' in coops. ' The pre
vention of light; by inclining fowls to a'con
stant state of repose except when moved by
the appetite for food,. promotes and accele
rates obesity—but such a state cannot be a
state of health, nor can the flesh of animals
so fed equal in flavor, nutriment and salu
brity, that of the Same species fed in a more
natural way. Ebonomy and Market inter
ests may, perhaps, be the:best answered by
•the place of darkness and close confinement;
but a feeder for his own tableiof deli
'sate taste, and , ambitious of furnishing his
own board with the choicest and most salu
brious viands, will declaxe for the natural
mode of feeding.
TO PRESERVE ORCHARDS.
Nathan Shotwell, of Elba, Genessee Co.,
New 'York, thinks the cause of the present
appearance lecay and death in so many
orcbards l is oviing entirely to neglect and
bad management., He thinks a majority of
orchards in this' country have that neglect
ed appearance ;'some are.not pruned at all,
others are carelessly 'haggled, and large
limbs are left with protruding stumps .that
cannot heal over. Orchards are ploughed
and the roots torn, and many farmers Who
have access toleaves, muck, saw-dust, &c.,
'never mulch ieir trees, nor remove the
rongli bark which furnishes a harbor for
insects. It should be scraped off with a
hoesand the tree washed with strong ley.
An Orchard planted by my father, and, still
in ;vigorons growth and bearing, has not
been . ploughed for thirty years. It has
generally been pastured with swine until
apples began to ripen. 'Manure frequently
put to 'the - tooth' of ttie trees destroying the
toughness of the sod, and making the soil
Lime and spongy, and the scions (the last
year's growth) that were large enough for
grafting, have nearly all been removed
yearly for more-than forty years--.N. Y

FOREST LEAVES.
If gathered in the fall and placed in the
yards, or mixedin large heaps with ferment
able substances, forest leaves will, in a
short time, .deeay, and become excellent
manure. The leaves of all trees contain
phosphates and other valuable elements of
vegetable nutrition of a mineral character,
as well as the ingredience.of humus. In
order, however, to facilitate the deeomposi
lion of the fibrous substances of the leaf,
it is well to mix a liberal quantity of lime
or ashes with the mass, and to see that it is
kept moist until decomposition commences,
unless the putrescent ingredients of the
heap are sufficient to effect the object.
Brakes, mosses `small bushes, and, indeed,
'all succulent and easily decomposable vegi
- table substances, are of no value in compost-
They ~decay rapidly, and, leave be
hind a residuum ,which is found to be sin
4:gularly salutary to almost every description
of crop.—New .England Farmer. : ,
STAGGERS IN HORSES.
Staggers is a general term applied to
several diseases of horses. Mad or sleepy
staggers is inflammation° f the.brain, a rare
but fatal, complaint, marked by high fever,
a staggering gait, violent, convulsing strug
gling, usually terminating in stupor, and
treated by bleeding, full doses of physic,
and cold water to the head. Grass or
stomach staggers is acute indigestion, usu
ally o ccasioned by overloading the stomach
and bowels with tough hard grass vetches,
or clover, or a full meal of wheat, or other
indigestible food. It is most common in
summer and autumn, is indicatid by
pairedvappetite, distended atromen, dull
aspect, unsteady gait, and is remedied, by
full doses of purgative medicine, such as
six drachms of aloes' and a drachm of calo
nig rubbed down together and given in a
quart of thin, boiled gruel. Freqnent
clysters, with hard rubbing and hot water
to the belly, are likewise useful. When
the dullness increases, stimulants should
be freely given.--British Agriculturalist.
TEA GROWING AT THE SOUTH.
For some ten years previous to the rebel
lion, we heard now and again of tea grow
ing at the South, especially in South Caro
lina. And this item, which may be true,
is going the rounds of the papers :—"A
man who has been cultivating tea as an ex
periment, since 1860, writes to the Savan
nah Herald that most of his plants grow
finely, that his tea is of good quality, and
that the tea will do quite as well in Georgia
as in its native country. The plants' re
quire to culture sifter the third *year. If
well, taken care of, by that time they will
be large enough to commence the manufac
ture of tea from them. The yield to the
acre is from three to four hundred pounds,
and the plants produce good crops for
eighteen or twenty years. The growth of
tea is not affected by dry or wet' weather,
or by storms, and insects will not mo
lest the plants."
A BLIND FARMER.
The Vermont,. Record says that a Joel
Ordway;of Chelsea, Vt.,. who many years
ago, owing to a premature discharge of
powder while blasting rooks, beeame total
ly blind, has taken- excellent care of his
garden, which is more free from weeds
than most gardens cultivated by gardeners
who are blessed with, eyesight. In addi
tion to this, he alone has cultivated an acre
and a half of potatoes. He hes had, three,
sons in the army, one of Whom died in the
service.

THE DARK SHADOW.
[The following, from the Christian. Re
.
gister, a leading organ of. Unitarianism, in
this country, is of singular valuer as a
vir
tual concession of the stern truth of huMan
depravity, and of such need, of •a •Divinn
remedy as has no logical landing except 'in
£he doctrine of a full Redeemer.]
Mr. M.erivale, in his lectures which have
recently been published; assigns as one of
the 'chief causes of the . conversion of the .
Romans to Christianity, that it' met the
feelincr in the human breast which intheolo:
gy is termed " the conviction of, sin." This,
however, is not simply a theologicalphrase,
but a part of the profoundest religious ex
perience; and Christianity has had the
most deep and enduring hold over men, be
cause it has placed greater emphasis "on this,
makes provisions to lighten its burden, and
points out the way of deliveruneo., "The
fact that such.' a feeling, exists, is admitted
even by such pure theistic writers its -Miss.
Cobbe; but it needs no endorsement from•
any, for it is one of those iiiiVersal eiperi
-ences which spring up out of our actual
hue .
SOATOW atrain. •
Libe - 41 Christians in their recoil from,
the gloom .of a ghostly. religion,jn
main
taming more cheerful views of imman
nature,. are in danger, sometimes, of , over
looking this truth, or, rather, of letting it'
fall into"the backgronnd..'And the come.'
Irene° is, their conviction of the need of
their own and the World's , great change
from sin to holiness is feeble. Now this
phase of experience is the first step towards
a truly experiMental Christianity yin the
individual heart, or a stimulant to labor for
the World:eV:generation. If there is no
sin in the individual;then there isno need
of repentance or change;,if there are no
evils or wrongs in society, there can be no
intense activity in reforming it. We do
not think it is enough simply to wish to
improve. The - Gospel of Christ recognizes,
indeed, the need of culture. In the
largest sense itr iiieducitional. 'lt bids the
disciples to forget the things which are be
hind, and to press forward even unto per=
feetion. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is perfect!'
Thus its capstone is progress.
But there is a preliminary stage. The
great mass of men are livingin disobedience
to God's laws. They are selfish and pas
sionate. They follow, more or less, the
promptings of unholy desires. They are
without the root of principle. Many cheat,
lie and steal. The world abounds in wicked
ness. :Without drawing upon the imagina
tion, but painting life as it really is, we at
once see that there are dark shadows of
guilt. The conviction of sin must arise in
all thoughtful, serious men. It sometimes
flashes—throwing up the blaze of remorse--
even in the most hardened villian. Women
whose outward 'lives are correct, and who
seem to the world pure and good, in their
higher vision of the divine, are elo_ filled
with the perception of the gulf between
them and the infinite moral loveliness of
God, as to' be tormented with the convic
tion of their separation from Him. • This
conviction of sin varies, with the tempera
ment, intensity of religious aspirations or
degree of guilt. Yet in'some form it is a
common experience. Not only : David and
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1865.
Paul, Augustine and Wesley, but Channing
and Parker, each in his way recognizes the
great fact of evil in the heart and world.
Sin casts its shadow over every soul. Theo
logians differ in defining the nature of sin
and in their estimate of the means by
which it is to be overcome; but the fact of
its existence goes down deeper than,any
speculation or dogma, and finds its proof in
the universal spiritual experience. To
ignore it is to ignore human nature in its
profoundest phases of agony, struggle and
woe.
We must, then, recognize this feature of
the universal religious experience. What
ever theologians may say of it, however
philosophers may explain it,—the human
heart wrestling in the throes of anguish,
writhing in bitter remorse, or in lighter
manifestations troubled with compunctions
of conscience, testifies to its reality. And
in, .proportion as this conviction flashes up
will men see by its light their own moral
deformity. This is the first stage of a new
spiritual life. As long as men feel they are
all right, there will be no motive for effort.
If there is no wickedness in the heart, if
there are no wrongs in the world, why be
troubled? All is going on, well: There is
no need of any change. This complacency
is the pathway to moral 'death. There -is
no moral condition soAtal as this to all
Spiritual progress. Only as we feel pro
foundly the, conviction of Sin, will we put
forth endeavors after a new and 'better life.
The rehgion,of Christ is very, specific on
this point. The first address of Jesua , w
"Repent ye--be ye reconstructed—for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand." Further
on he says '
" Ye must be born again." --That
is, ;.a moral, transformation must 'be wrought
out in the soul and the whele drift, of the
Gospel is to-show men how„th.ey can work,
oat this radical change, and become pos4
sessed in its fulness of the spirit of God.
Moreover, each individual soul is thus ad-'
dressed. - Primarily, Christianity desls with
each man personally. Religion 'is a per
sonal thing. It is for you, reader. You
are a child of God. .You owe him obeiii
ence. You need , to cast off every,sin and
be brought into. right feelings towards all
men and right relationship with God. •The
first step is to feel the 'need of a 'change,
and this comes from a personal conviction
of sin.
"An Invalid," writing for the N yF
Observer, .makes the following suggestions'

Throughout the country parts, one thing

of religion—evidently the result of -„careful
Protestant training. Nearly a century ago
a devoted Moravian missionary went forth
as the herald of the Cross, and with great
zeal sought to instruct the Indians in the
knowledge of Jesus , ; but later, two mire
of years, some two or three self-sacrificing
ministers of the. Scotch Presbyterian Church

sylvania is essentially Presbyterian. This
fact is patent to the visitor. Here and
there a Lutheran, German ReforMed, or
Methodist church may be seen ; but on all
sides you find Reformed Presbyterians, Se
ceders, or United Presbyterians, with a
goodly number of Old and New School
Presbyterians ; and when combined, con
stituting no mean body, so far as numbers
are concerned. They can now be counted
by scores of thousands; and I feel for the
moment desirous of commending the zeal of
the Scotch and Irish Presbyterians who
settled Western Pennsylvania. Many of
them yet live, as noble exponents of Pro
testant truth. Indeed, but little sympathy
for the Roman Church is to be found here.
Protestant from conviction, as well as in
name, they live to exhibit the life-giving
power of Divine truth in a walk at once
consistent and honoring to the Master whom
they profess to serve. Popery, it is true, is
still boldly raising up'its hydra front in our
land; but with the exception of Pittsburg,

but will not necessarily give'him skill to do
the work. That he must acquire-by thought,
prayer, observation, and, practice. -The re
mark is suggested by, an-incident with,
which I have just;met in .my.reading. ~, ,
A pious .P ll 3'ia,lal?, had meccas to a jail,
and tried,to minister both 10 - the souls and
bodies of hFs patients in prison. - ,
One day he pleaded ' with a murderer to
seek pardon. 'fie urged all the motives of
the Gospel to repentance he could command,
and threw his wholesoul into the ple'a. The
murderer was cold and obdurate; excused
his crimes by quoting the example of David,
Solomon, and other Scripture ch.aracters.
In fine, he said, "I don't know that I have
much to repent of." ~
This from a murderer was terrible. The

physician left, his. cell, thinking the case
hopeless.
Anxious, however, to'do all he Could; he
invited a dear friendan 'aged, devoted

" The close of the war in America has

of the world, feels the concussion of the
sudden cessation of hostilities more than
London. Of conrse, London's turn is
coming, for the failure of half the commer

their English correspondents. The rise in,
cotton, and the immense influx of money to
pay for it, had caused such a rever of spec
ulation as the East had never known. All
kinds of joint stock companies Were formed,
and shares which cost five hundred pounds
went, up to fifteen thousand pounds. The
news of General Lee's surrender sent down
the price of cotton one-half, and exploded
all those wonderful speculations. The

TEE " SOCIAL HXMN.ANTD TUNE BOOK" is as
endeavor to give, in,a, volume of moderate size, the
best hymni and the best tunes.
The Tones, carefully selected and carefully adapted
to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express
the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious
heitits, the Barrie of devotion. They are old tunes
chiefly, with such approved new ones as the Church
will not let die. ,
The Tenor and Bass have been given on separate
staves, at some expense of space and cost; but to
many singers this arraagement willprove helpful and
acceptable.
While the collection is primarily designed for social
worship, it is well suited to the use of the family and
congregation.
The New. York Observer says appears to us to
be admirably adapted , to its purpose. • . . Many
first-rate tunes, arranged and printed so as to be
easily used. Itwill be a most acceptablebook in fam
ilies, mission 'churches, and, if our taste was the rule,
it wouldbe used in Sabbath-schools."
The Evangelist says:—"The Publication Committee
of our Church have just issued &volume which we ap
prehend is destined to become highly popular among
our churches. It is entitled. ' Social Hymn and Tune

clear and distinct, and. sufficiently large for common
use. Most of the hymns are from the Church Psalm

every:hymn can be identified in the two books. The
tunes and hymns are arranged throughout the vol

of a promiscuous congregation, and enable them to
join intelligently in their songs of praise."
The Ainerican Presbyterian says:—" This Hymn
