FARM COLD 'STORAGE Small, Efficient Pls Plant co 'Not: Cost Much, | BSbhnaple and Efficient Running Water Systems for the Farm--How Full Directions Regarding Equipment and Installation May Be Secured. pxsmgbigs reba Ontario Department of ture, Toronto.) eoLD storage is 'a room or building, depending upon the size, cooled by ice or by some mechanical means. In short, it is a place for keeping food products cool in the hot weather. Since the farms produce the food and since the cooling of it should be done quickly and immediately after fits production, say milk for example, in order to keep it in good condition as long as possible, would it not seem good business and economy to have the cold storage on the farm? This applies to our farms particularly since--they~produce such very per- ishable products as milk, butter, egss, fruit and meat. If there was mo other advantage in having cold storage on the farm than that it pro- vides a place in which to keep the daily victuals cool and sweet, there would seem to be a good reason for including it in the farm equipment. There are many ways of providing a small cold storage on the farm, but with the exception of very large fruit or dairy farms, the same principle applies to all, namely, that ice is used as the means of cooling. The mithod of applying the ice to the best advantage constitutes the prot jem in each individual case: This is y no one system can be recom- mended for all cases. It is my inten- tion to describe briefly below one type which should give good service in many farm homes. The particular name of this aye tem is the Bunker system, It con sists of a small room a few feet square with a bunker or box or rack at one side for holding the cakes of fee. It is separated fram the roo oy a partition which is kept a fers Inches off the floor and likewise ireu the ceiling. The bunker has a slat- reidily through a drain. rangement provides a-natural means fo. the cold air to drop down to the flour, escape into the cooling room proper and for the warm air to pass up over the partition to the ice, S lor g as this bunker is kept supplied with ice there will be a natutal flow vf cold air through the storage room. 'f the room well insulated it should be possible to maintain a tem- verature of about 40 deg. Fahrenheit anda fairly dryatmosphere. Those de- siring plans for constructing the type municating with the writer. Inform- ition and assistance will be ---- goven to all applicants. Write us.-- tt, R.

Perhaps more than any other food element it determines the healthy and robust development of the body. Inversely, deadly disease germs lurk in the impure waters of contaminated wells which may bring death with littie warning into the faully circle. Without great expense the water supply on the average farm muy be so protected as to prevent contamination and it surely seems the part of wisdom in every case to ensure an abundant supply of pure wecter for man and beast. Where the household supply must be drawn from a well or a stream at some distance from the dwelling the physical labor involved is great. be assumed that when no plumbing is installed an allowance of ten gallons per person per day for all purposes is necessary. With a family of four someone -- often the house- wire -- must carry 400 pounds of water a day, or over one ton a week. in the stable much the same con- ditions exist. The task of pumping water by hand for~a large number of live stock is slow and arduous-- wasteful of time and trying to the teiiper, And in cold, stormy weather the stock when driven to an outside tank or an ice-covered streain, will raely drink sufficient for their best performance development. Wiuater systems in each case pay their way in dollars as well as in conveni- ence, comfort and health. question of cost is important. improvements may be ma ade, bowever, such as safeguarding the well from pollution, install- g a hydraulic ram, septic tank, gravity system, etc., which are not very expensive and when the fariner is able to do a good deal of the work himself the cost is reduced to a point where thousands can afford the in- a, With a practical work- nowledge of the principles of a. water supply, water systems, equipage and sewage disposal few, indeed, who have impure well water and are without bousehold and stable water conveni- ences but can make improvements of a most beneficial nature and at a cost which they can afford to expend.

All the extra food which is used in their growth is wasted and the breaking off of large shoots the plants. When August E 15th comes it is well to nip om : all 1 mee first fruits begin to ripen, apply nitrate of soda,--a teaspoonful in a watering can, full of water,--to the plants twice a week to make a liquid manure and use it instead. These are more especially valuable after the growth has been stopped. Keep a dust mulch around the plants. If the weather ts very dry, soak the ground around them thor- oughly in the evening, en make a mew mulch in the mornin When the first fruits in staked tomatoes ure beginning to color, re- gyove one-half of each Icaf. This will hasten the ripening. Sunlight is ne- cegsary for rapid ripening. -Leave only growth enough on your plants to carry what fruit will ripen There is no use in al- ise to yee _ the fruits you leave will be 1 -- A. H.
