It is most important to lay in asup‘ ply of ice for the dairy. In the hot days of summer great care is required to keep milk and its products in a sweet. and wholesome condition, but with abundance of ice at hand the task becomes a pleasant and easy one. In private dairies ice is almost a neces- sity, and even when milk is sent to a factory it must be cooled and kept cool all the way from the milk pail to the vat. \Vhen cutting ice, it is im- portant to secure it before it is too thick, as then the blocks are much more easily handled in cutting, in packing and in removing from the icehouse. The icehouse need not be large. For adairy of ordinary size eight feet square and with eight- foot posts would be ample. The icehouse may be made simply of logs, put up in log cabin style, or of rough timber. Hemlock is excellent. cheou, also, if broad and well marked, is a good indication. “e have seen some deep milkers that had small es- cutcheons, but we never saw a poor milker that had one that was well de- veloped. A good deal depends on the way calves are brought up. The best heifer calf may easily be spoiled by being fed fattening food or by semi-starvation before it is a year old. Neither exâ€" treme is desirable, because both are m- jurious to digestion. If this is ruined in calfhood the cow will be a poor eatâ€" er, and therefore a poor producer, as long as it lives. Starving calves is less common than it used to be, when a run at the straw stack with corn stalks twice a day was, with a very little hay, expected to take the calf through its first winter. There is nothing in this ration to make growth, and gthe calf cannot eat enough to keep up its con- dition as to fat. Some kinds of nitro- genous food should be given in suffi- cient amounts to help make the car- bon of the corn stalks digestible. That of the grain straw will not be digest- ed, and not much of it will be eaten, as its carbon is mostly woody fibre. It does not cost much more to keep a yearling 11' ell through its first winter, land the result is that the animal gives profit on its winter’s keep, instead Boarded on 93011 Slde 0f 2X5 studding, [of being worth even less in spring than three feet apart, is considered best, but single boarding on inside of studs will do. In the first case fill the space with sawdust, and in the latter case leave a greater space inside for saw- dust. The roof should be tight to exâ€" clude warm rains in summer. “here a door is to be placed leave the space be- tween two studs without boarding, al- lowing, however, a space on each stud for lengths of board which will form the door. The icehouse must be well drained, as water melts ice, and for this reason do not dig down for a floor, but rather raise it from the surrounding level. This may be done by laying a floor of poles, placing the larger ones near the walls and .the smaller in the center to make a slant inward. This gives drainage and causes the ice to press against itself instead of against the walls. The tools absolutely necessary for cutting and handling ice are very few, being simply a pair of grips, an ax and a crosscut. saw with one handle. How'- ever, a frame for lifting blocks from the water to the sleighs is very con- venient and may be made thus: Proâ€" cure two poles, one long and the other mud somewhere near the hole from which 1ou are cutting and fasten the long one across it, large end to the hole. Hang your grips to the large end and with a rope pull down the small end and swing the blocks on the sleigh. In packing the ice first throw several inches of sawdust. or straw on the floor and then place a lay er of ice blocks, leaving a space of eight or nine inches between them and the wall all the way around. Now fill every crack and crevice with finely broken ice. Break it thus. Lay a block bottom up on the pile and strike it with the flat 0f 1our ax, when it will be found to powder easily. F'ollow this lay er with others similarly treated, always leavâ€" ing a space clear next the wall. The door of the icehouse must be put in as )ou fill it by lay ying in the plac-les left for them lengths of board on the inâ€" side. The space between the ice and the walls should be filled with saw- dust as you go up, but this may be done later. The pile may be covered With sawdust, tan bark, straw, hay or cornstalks. The outside door should sw'ing on hinges and be tight. In re- moving the ice for use, take off from the top always and cover well what is left each time. Several farmers may work together in putting up ice with great advantag eto each, for once the tools are procured and a hole cut the labor of securing it is comparatively easy. These few points should be re- membered particularly: Cut early. so as to easily handle the blocks. Have a pile in the icehouse not smaller than 6x6x6 feet. Dack tightly. Fill in with saw dust cover the pile and shut the door as soon as filling is completed. Keep the pile covered well all summer and the door tightly closed. In cut- ting a block of ice 3but a deep notch and then strike sharply with the ax and in the center of the notch, when the block will split clean, and waste will thus be avoided. SELECTING HEIFERS FOR CO‘VS. \Vhile there is much in good breed- ing to produce general characteristics of dairy excellence, it. cannot be whol- ly depended upon. It is not every heif- er calf from good or even registered stqck that it will pay to keep and rear for the dairy herd. No metter how far back this registry goes, the breed- er of cattle will sometimes be surpris- ed to find heavy, coarse heads and the thick, bull-like neck, which, to the ex- perienced eye, shows that the mating has been unfortunate, breeding back to characteristics of some longâ€"forgotten ancestor who flourished before the dairy excellences of cattle [had been thought of much importance. In such cases the sire and dam that thus bred back ought never again to mate. Per- haps the fault was not exclusively in . either, but in the combination of blood. in which the undesirable qualities of each were represented in the offspring. An experienced breeder can decide beâ€" fore the calf is even a week old wheth- er it will be best adapted for beef or dairy purposes. The true dairy animal will have a. somewhat thin neck,though it should compensate for this apparent indication of lack of vigor' by having wide nostrils and a deep chest. The dairy animal quite as much as that for the shambles, and indeed more than that. needsto ave 00d lungs and good digestions Th cal ought not to be too greedy for food, but it ought to be always ready for what is set 8before it. There is a peculiar softness in the skin of a. good dairy animal that the need breeder will quickly no- tics. We have always found in native stock that a yellow skin around the ndication of good qualit- shorter and forked at one end. Drive the short pole, forked end up, into the poorly kept calf is sure to be. HEN FEED. The majority of fowls get far too much grain, such as corn, oats,wheat. bran, etc., to the exclusion of animal substances and green or vegetable foods, such as clove rowen, grass, cabâ€" bages, beets, turnips, etc. The grain bin is usually well filled and handy of access; so the feeder, being in a hurry and despising "bother,” just takes what grain he wants and throws it to the fowls, and that makes an end of the matter. This is not the best policy. Grain is a very heavy. hearty, heat- ing and concentrated staple of diet, and was never intended to .be fed stock without other addition. \Ve see this fact quite clearly when we consider that every plant has more weight of stem and leaves than of seed. Cattle, graz- ing, are obliged to consume a great. deal more grass or hay than seeds or grain. In other wo,rds for the good of digestion and health, they must eat much husk in order to get the few coveted kernels. From this the feeder takes the hint. To use dried clover chop it finely, steam by covering with boiling w,ater and wrapping it up tightly to retain the heat for several hours, then after drain- ing off the surplus wet, we haae a dainty winter appetizer that all poultry delight to honor. All the so-called roots _â€"turnips, potatoes. etc., come into use in the regular morning mash, as they are boiled and mixed with grain. Every cultivator of these crops has “seconds” of little value, that he can save to feed to his fowls, and parties who raise nothing of the kind themâ€" se11 es can purchase their supplies at a low figure every fall. Next comes animal food, which is to go hand in hand with vegetable food, to supplement and fortify the grain ration. For animal food fresh, juicy, lean meat and cutgreen bone is to be preferred. The boi-led pressed scraps of rendering works have lost about all the goodness they ever had. FFED MORE VEGETABLE FOOD. Vegetables and green food of all kinds will assist greatly in keeping the fowls in good condition during the winter. All the small potatoes should be boiled and given to the hens, who will greed- ily pick them to pieces. The same is true of turnips. Parings of all kinds of vegetables will be readily eaten. Poor worm-eaten apples will give a zest to their appetites, and a cabbage hung where they can peck at it will serve the same purpose. Pumpkins are also appreciated. Clover hay or corn fodder cut to half inch leng this. scaldâ€" ed and sprinkled slightly with corn meal supplies a very good and econ- omical ration. Peas and beans cooked and thickenâ€" ed with bran are excellent for laying hens, so is sweet eusilage. Beets and carrots from a splendid winter relish while onions are popular and exceed- ingly healthful. If fed in moderation there is not the slightest fear that the last named will affect the flavor of the eggs. The great value of these vegetable foods liges not merelv in their power to tempt the appetite, but in their sup- plying the bulk necessary to thrift and egg production , in mere nutritive qual- ities most of them are inferior to the grain 'which they should supplement, not displace. Variety too, is an imp ortaut feature which should also be considered in sup- plying the grain. for mixture of corn oats, wheat, buckwheat, barley, etc., will be found to give better results than where one grain alone is used. â€"_â€"â€"â€"-aâ€"â€"â€".â€"_â€" MINIATURE RETICULE.
