SMALL ICE HOUSE.
A Supply of Ice Is Seeded on tl»e Ma
jority of Fsrnui.
A good ice bouse.ls almost indispen
sable on the farm. Yon fltul nn occa
sional farm supplied Tvltli a great
abundance of pure cold water from
deep wells or large flowing springs
With these there Is little use for ice.
but such supply Is not found on the
great majority of country homes, nud
lco is badly needed. When Ice may be
had from some creek or poud near by
there Is little excuse for not having a
small house well filled every year for
summer hse, says an American Agri
culturist writer, who gives the follow
ing instructions for building such a
house:
A convenient size far the farm ice
house ts twelve feet square ou
the outside. Let the frame be made of
timbers 2 by fl inches and set up so
the siding outside as well as the inside
lining boards will run up and down
the wall, thus facilitating drainage.
The eaves should be ten feet high. In
one end four or five feet from the
ground there should be a door through
which the Ice can lw> put lit ami taken
out.
I find by experience that it is best
not to extend thl3 door down to the
ground, as more or less air will get in
FAIiM ICE HOUSE.
and melt the ice, no matter how tight
we try to make It. Provide good ven
tilation by a couple of lattice
windows in effner gable. This Is very
necessary If lee Is to ketjp well. It Is
not necessary to pack the space be
tween the two walls with sawdust or
■traw, as the dead air Is just as good
and the structure will not rot down so
quickly.
Fill In the bottom of the house with
dirt so it will be a few Inches higher
than the level of the ground inside.
Then lay. old timbers, rails or poles
across the bottom anil fill In the spaces
between with sawdust or cut straw to
a depth of six or eight Inches. Then
jour house Is ready to fill. The poles
or rails keep the Ice from coming In
contact with the earth and give good
1 drainage without allowing any air to
get In.
, In packing away Ice try to get the
blocks out as nearly square as possi
ble, and be particular to pound up ice
and till up snugly all crevices and
Joints that do not lit up together.
Blocks of ice can always be cut so
they will All out the space between
the walls exactly, so there will be no
pieces to fit in. It is a good plan to
stop the Ice about six inches short of
Ifeg inside wall and fill in this space
as the hcruse Is being filled with saw
duet, chaff or straw.
The ice should be covered before the
weather gets warm enough to start It
to melting. Every few days It should
be examined and all open spaces filled
up so as to keep out all air drafts. I
hare seen a most excellent ice house
made of baled straw, laid up like
brick so the Joints were well broken.
Tli is house had been lu use five years
when I saw it and promised to be
serviceable for several more years.
The American lloyal Show.
The American Royal show Is pro
nounced great this year in quality and
numl>er of cattle of all the beef breeds
by a Country Gentleman writer, who
says: "Herefords continue to be pre
eminent. The classes of Shorthorns,
though not so full, contain-some grand
specimens both of fut and breeding
stock. Whites and roans were jtroml
neut In the Canadian exhibit, while
the classic reds were in good evidence.
An Immense red Shorthorn cow at
tracted more attention than anything
else. The Angus display Is said to be
the finest ever made in the United
States. The Calloway display of aged
bulls perhaps has been unequaled in
displays of this breed. The display of
Imported draft horses nearly equals
the St. Louis fair collecUon, at least in
quality. Percherons, Belgians, German
coachers, Clydesdales and Shires arc
all well represented."
Pedigreed Strawberries.
Mr. M. Crawford, an Ohio strawber
ry grower, In discussing "pe<Hgreed"
strawberries at the meeting of the
American Pomologleal society said
that he had tried the so called pedi
greed strawberries beside oth«r varie
ties not pedigreed In tho same row, and
the results of those experiments are
that he has had no better results and
In a good many cases not as good re
sults from tho so called pedigreed
strawberries as he has had from
"scrubs."

WHITE GRUB.
TroublcaoioMi tlie Pnat Sraaon In Po
tnto FltliJh — llovv to Prevent It.
In res]x>nse to an inquiry about
white grubs, which have been trouble
some In eoine of the eastern potato
fields this (season as well as In corn,
Itural New Yorker advises:
Farmers have reported to us that
buckwheat Is offensive to these grubs,
but we have not found It so. They will
not lie so likely to trouble you next
year. Professor M. V. Sllngerlaad
scuds this discouraging report about
methods for destroying white grubs:
"The 'yellow butterfly' mentioned by
Uie correspondent bus no connection
with white grulis. The adult form of
the white grub is a large brown beetle,
known as June bug or May beetle. As
these Insects have a three year life
cycle, it often happens that every third
year they are more destructive. There
Is no system of fertilizing or applying
anything to the soil ill practicable ,
quantities that will destroy these
grubs. Over small areas hand diggiug
Is the only effective method, and this is
practicable In strawberry beds. Thor
ough cultivation Is the greatest dls
L'ourager of underground living insects.
Therefore a short system of crop rota
tlou will help very materially In con
trolling this pest, especially If the rota
tion consists largely of crops that need
thorough anil frequent cultivation.
Very thorough stirring of the soil In
early fall will kill uiauy of them which
are transforming Into beetles."
No practical system of fertilizing ,
will destroy them, s:) you should cop- i
slder the needs of the potato crop In J
using chemicals. Unless you are fa- .
miliar with the use of chemicals we I
would begin by aslng gouje wc|L,

you can use potash alone, acid phos-'
pliate alone and on another the two to
gether. This will show you If the soil
needs one of these elements In particu
lar. Then you can get a better Idea
about using tho chemicals. We would
I use GOO pounds of potato fertilizer per
! acre and 400 pounds for grain. You
[ should plow the clover sod In spring

IMPROVED FORESTRY.
lion (he Foreit Service Co-operate*
With Timber Owner«.
During the past fiscal year the ad
vice and supervision of the forest serv
ice were asked for the management of
private forest lands aggregating over
2,000,000 acres. A circular of this
branch of the department of agricul
ture has recently been Issued to give
an Idea of the co-operative arrange
• ment with the government by which
. owners may secure the assistance of
' trained foresters in the care of their
i woodlands. "The plan of co-operation
■ provides that where owners will pay
i all expenses for the study of the tract
tho forest service will supply the
i knowledge.
■ Studying the situation.
In brief, it appears from the source
of information referred to that a pre
liminary Inspection of the tract Is |
made by a special agent of the forest
service, then a corps of men is detailed
to secure data on which to base a |
working plan. The data Include a care
ful estimate, based on actufll measure
ments, of the stand both of merchant
able and immature trees. Their rate of
growth is determined, reproduction Is
studied and the danger from fire, from
grazing or from Insect attack and the
best methods of preventing tbem. Mar
ket and transportation facilities are
carefully Investigated. A map show
lug the character, distribution and
quality of the forest is prepared.
Carrrlnß Oat the Owner's Vl«n».
When the needed data have been
collected they are worked up Into the
plan. Usually the owner has some par-
Ucular desire with reference to the use
of his woodlands. Whatever this may
be. It Is borne In mind in the prepara
tion of the working plan. To secure
the prime object a forester of the serv
ice visits tho owner wherever neces
sary, confers with him over the details
of the flan and at his request and ex
pense assists in the actual work of put
ting the recommendation in force. In
view of changed conditions which time
may bring the forest service at its own
expense sends one of Its experts about
once every two years to Inspect tha
progress of forest management on the
tract for which the working plan was
made.

THE CLAM'S NECK.
Parpose and I'hni-ni'tei'titlci of This
Oi'iiiiti of the liiVHl vc.
Persons who have seen soft shell
clams as they lay In a pan lit the kitch
en preparatory to. being cooked scarce
ly recognize them in their natural state.
Many of us who have seen clams know
that they have "necks," but are Ig
norant of the purpose and character
istics of this attachment. As they lie
on the ground they are far from being
dose mouthed. In fact, they are sel
dom to be seen with the shell closed.
From one end projects the "neck,"
which may be three times as long as
the shell when fully extended. This
fact, in case the "neck" Is stretched
out, makes one wonder how such a
length can be contracted Into such a
small space aud how much remains In
the shell after the "neck" has been
elongated. This Is the astonishiug char
acteristic of tho soft shelled clam and
the one that makes him unrecoguizable
to so many people. One of the clams,
for Instance, is three Inches long. Ills
"neck" when extended is possibly eight
or nine Inches long and as large around
as a man's middle finger.
As every one knows, the clam when
in Its native haunts is to be found sev
eral Inches below the surface of the
Band. He has to be dug up when dis
covered by the little spurts of water
which the clam beneath throws up
when disturbed.
This "ueck" connects the clam with
his food supply in tb„- water above.
In the "neck" are parallel tubes.
Through one tube the clam sucks In a
quantity of water. From Uie water he
übsorbs whatever nourishment It may
contain nnd then expels the water
through the other tube.
One may wonder how tho clam gets
Into the sand or mud. At the end op
posite the "neck" may bo seen an ap
pendage resembling a turtle's tall in
shape nnd called a foot. It Is with this
foot that he digs his way downward.—

ORIGINAL GRETNA GREEN.
Many Came Across Eukllmli Border to
Have Mie Knot Tied.
A recent writer on the departed glo
ries of the original Gretna Green In
Scotland has this to say of the "priests"
who did the marrying for the hurrying,
anxious persons who came to them
from across the English border: "The
men who took up the trade of marry
ing had often been previously engaged
in some other occupation. Some were
stonemasons, some were weavers and
many were border idlers and poachers.
Among these last it Is possible that a
blacksmith may at some time have '
ftikcn to Joining hands Instead of Iron,
1 but no one of the calling ever rose to
fame In the marriage line."
Joseph Paisley, who first made the
marriage trade "hum," Is described as
nothing better than a drunken free
booter. But he was equal to this in
cident: "On one occasion his services
were required simultaneously by two
couples, both In a desperate hurry, and
after the ceremony It was discovered
thnt, by a trilling mistake, the wrong
brides and bridegrooms had been unit
ed. 'Awell,' said Paisley contentedly,
•Jest sort yersels.'"
Eventually the "Gretna priests" be
came so uumerous, competition so
keen, that they waited on the English 1
border for the arrival of "customers." I
None of them obtained a reputation for I
riches, nor were they able to retire on '
their earnings, but died iu harness, i-
The usual price for celebrating a mar
riage was half a crown (.'(B'j cents), but
one poor couple got off for sixpence,
und u still poorer couple for 2V& pence. 4
