Cheap and Stmple Ice Hunne.
An icehouse Is oue of the simplest
of farm buildings ; In fact, many farm
ers make a mistake in putting up too
elaborate a building, which fails to en
dure and to afford sufficient ventilation
for keeping the ice. The simple build
ing shown in the drawing, which is re
produced from Farm and Home, was
put up with about one day's labor.
The framework was made of refuse
hard wood, some 2x4's and sonje 2x6's.

SECTIONAL VIEW OF ICEHOUSE.
Second-rate pine boards were used for
siding, which was nailed on the inside
of the frame. The roofing was made
of similar material as the sides, but of
a little better quality.
In filling, a space is left between the
wall and the ice, to be packed with
sawdust. The crevices between the
cakes are filled with fine ice shavings,
but no sawdust Is used between or on
top of the layers of ice until the filling
is done, when about one foot of saw
dust is placed on top.
Openings must be left near the peak
of the roof to secure ventilation, and
the sawdust filling at the sides must
be kept firm and solid while the ice
is being removed in summer. It is
important to locate the Icehouse
where there will be good drainage.
Poor drainage at the bottom of the
Ice or allowing air to circulate at the
top will quickly spoil the contents of
the house.
Light (or the Barn.
Light is one of the great sanitary
conditions which promote vigorous
health. If the germs of tuberculosis
are exposed to the sun a short time
their vitality is destroyed, but their
infecting power can be preserved for
several months if kept in a dark recep
tacle.
The State veterinarians who inspect
dairy accommodations now recommend
plenty of light, and the new dairy
barns are featured with an Increased
number of windows. If possible the
windows of a dairy barn should be so
placed as to cause the sun at some
portion of the day to shine on all parts
of the floor, as the rays will search for
disease microbes and destroy them.
Sunlight acts as a powerful disinfect
ant, and nothing is cheaper nor more
effective in preventing disease than
sunlight.
Dark, underground stables are now
condemned as insanitary and disease
breeding. Dark stables are often also
damp, and present especially favorable
conditions for the evolution and propa
gation of tuberculosis. Cattle on the
plains, which live only under the shel
ter of the firmament, are immune to
tuberculosis and many other diseases,
and barns for housing live stock should
be constructed with plenty of windows
to promote the sanitary condition of
their occupants.—Goodall's Farmer.

Better Result» wltb Corn.
According to the estimate made by
the government a few weeks ago. the
average per acre of corn produced in
Texas this year is only about five bush
els below that of Iowa, one of the
greatest of the corn-producing States.
In the amount produced It was esti
mated that Texas would be fifth in the
States of the Union. This is a splen
did showing compared with what it
was only a few years ago, and is ac
counted for by the fact that the Texas
farmer is beginning to realize the great
advantage there is in raising his own
meat and bread, and In the further fact

Almost $2,000,000,000 worth ot
horses are owned in the United States,
according to the Year Book of the De
partment of Agriculture. It is prob
able that if the horses were taken at
their real value, instead of their as
sessed value, this figure would be great
ly increased. According to this report,
there are 19,992,000 horses in this coun
try, with a value of $1,867,530,000, and
the average value per head is $93.40.
Anybody knows that has tried to buy
horses of late that the average per
head is too small, for even an ordinary
work horse is worth more than that
However, the showing is very encour
aging. In the last ten or twelve years
the number of horses in this country
has almost doubled, and, instead of
there belug too many horses, there are
not enough to do all the business that
is required, and if it were not for the
use of automobile trucks in the large
cities the merchants of this country
ould be hard pressed for methods of
transportation for their goods. With
business increasing, as every sign indi
cates, there will be a greater demand
than ever for horses during the com
ing year. In view of this, breeders
can go on increasing their business,
with every confidence that all the
horses they can produce will find a
ready sate at a good figure. As for
good trotters, horses capable of going
out and winning in their class, the de
mand is greatly in excess of the sup
ply. Auction sale malingers complnln

Twin Limba,
An experienced breeder says that In
the case of twins it is well to place
them with the mother in a small, sep
arate pen for a day or two, in order
that they may become acquainted, and
to avoid the danger of one of the lambs
straying away, which may cause trou
hie. When lambs are born weakly
more care is required, and unless the
shepherd is with them to see that they
are suckled soon after birth they are
liable to become chilled and die.
the lamb is too weak to stand up and
suck, it should be held up and some
milk milked into its mouth, when
will soon take the teat and help itself,
or the ewe may be gently laid upon her
side and the lamb brought to the teat
on its knees or side, and held, ns above
indicated.
When Buying "Porkers."
If you hear that your neighbor's hogs
have the cholera, do not rush over to
see them. Keep away from them and
do not let anybody from the infected
lot come near your own hogs. If you
buy pigs from a point distant from
your own neighborhood, keep them by
themselves for at least two weeks, as
during that time the disease will show
if they have it.
Sorgrhum for the Hilo.
Under Florida conditions sorghum
makes the best and cheapest crop for
the silo. Analysis shows sorghuin silage
to be a little richer in total digestible
nutrients than corn silage. It makes
a heavier field of green forage per acre
than corn. The station favors sorghum
for silage.
Winter Poultry Note».
When your hens sing know then that
they are feeling good and will lay.
Hens will not lay well or thrive un
less they have plenty of sunlight Keep
the windows clean.
Don't fuss around your hens too
much. Like some people, they want to
be let alone at times.
Take the chill off the water. Hens
will not lay many eggs if they are
compelled to drink ice water and eat
corn mixed with snow.
Get rid of te useless cockerels and
old hens. Stuff them and they will
grow fat and tender—not too tender—
but enough to grace a boarding house
table.
Throw some rusty nails in the drink
ing trough. The hens need the iron us
a tonic. But do not let anything else
besides clean water go in with
nails.

Medium of Exchange.
While the first actual coining of
money is attributed to Pheidon, King
of Argos, in 895 B. C., it must not be
supposed that there had not existed
keen appreciation of the value and
______^___________
uses of money for centuries previous
to the introduction of coinage. The P
ancient Egyptians had a gold and ml- our
ver standard of currency, and their
money was in the form of gold and
silver ornaments, rings and nuggets,
the purchasing power of which depend
ed on the weight.
The Greeks improved somewhat on
this system by first marking the weight
on gold and silver nuggets so that it
would no longer be necessary to re
weigh them every time they were to be
used for purposes of exchange or trade.
Then came the introduction of gold, sil
ver and copper nuggets of graded uni
form sizes and value. The next step
was the moulding and stamping of discs
made from the precious metals.
Some of these first coins were enor
mous, the idea apparently being to dis
courage the greedy from attempting to
accumulate and carry around too many
of them. There were copper coins as
large as dinner plates. While the idea
was based on excellent motives, it had
to give way before the demand for
smaller and more convenient forms of
currency and the giant pennies soon
dwindled In size to meet the popular
demand.
The earliest trace of the use of gold
as money is to be found in the pictures
of the ancient Egyptians weighing in
scales heaps of rings of gold and sil
ver. There is no actual record, how
ever, that these rings were what may
be termed coins with a fixed value.
Iron, judging from the statement of
Aristotle, was once extensively em
ployed as currency. Lead has also
served as money. In fact it still does
so in Burmah.
Copper has been more widely em
ployed as money than either of the two
last mentioned metals. The early He
brew coins were chiefly composed of
it, while down to 268 B. C. the sole Ro
man coinage was an alloy of copper.
Tin money was once used In England,
probably on account of the rich tin
mines of Cornwall. Early English coin
ages contained much of this tin money,
principally In the form of farthings
and halfpence.
Silver formed the basis for the early
Greek coins and was Introduced in
Rome in 269 B. C. Mediaeval money
was principally composed of sliver,
The only other metals for money are
platinum and nickel. The former was
coined for a short time by the Russian
government, and then given up as un
suitable. The latter Is used as an al
