SECURING FARM ICE SUPPLY
Frozen Chunks as Workable as Wood
and Can Easily Bo Cut Into
Any Size Desired.

rapidity, rather than accuracy In cake
dimensions, so the Ice plow Is used
and the cakes split off, thus leaving
the under side of each cake irregular,
making close storage impossible. The
■lower and better process for the
farmer is the Ice saw, or. In lieu of
tUta, the common cross-cut saw, which
Is found on nearly all farms, writes E.
I-. Keasey, in Orange Judd Farmer.
**ae or pond ice baa the preference
orer river ice, due to the fact that
tnere is no current beneath. Pond
Ice freexes thicker, Is less liable to
contain air bubbles, meaning clearer
and more uniform cakes, which in It-
self insures longevity to the stored
product
Avoid slush or snow Ice as much
as possible. Watch for those several
daya of continuous hard freezing, then

Ice Is, of course, good, but 18-Inch is
better, as the thicker the cake the

be cut, using any sharp-pointed in-
strument for the marking. An old file
makes a good tool for the purpose.
Mark the field off Into 18-inch
squares, being careful to have cakes
cut exactly to measure, for in no other
way can close storage be accom-
plished. Cut out corner cake with an
ax and start the saw exactly on the
line, holding saw straight up and
down. Remove one handle from the
saw, and In Its place attach a small
weight, said weight adding much to
the rapidity of the sawing. Two pairs
of Ice tongs at about 60 cents each
complete the outfit for the farmer's
Ice harvest.
Elaborately constructed ice houses
are a delusion and a snare. No great-
er mistake can be made In the star-
|fa mi («e t ti a 11 (rutting ti IUIO air-
tight compartments. First thoughts,
of course, tells us that such a build-
ing will hold outside heat In check
and avoid circulation, but this Idea is
all wrong. In fact, ice to keep well
must have both side and top circula-
tion, for confined moisture Is the very
medium that wastes away the cakes.
No tidy farmer cares to spoil the
appearance of bis home by erecting
an unsightly building, so we would
urge that good, smooth drop siding be
used for outside, and this painted;
while for the inside any old lumber
will do, for all that is necessary Is
something to hold the aawdust used
In packing from the outer wall.
The
Exceptional
Equipment
of the California Fig Syrup Co. and ths
scientific attainments of ita chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, ia all of its
sxcellence, by obtaining the pun
inal principles of plants known to aet most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figi and Elixir of Senna and as the gen-
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig 8yrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline imitations or to return tbem
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.
The Cost of Politics.
In his reminiscences of Qrover
Cleveland George F. Parker tells a
story concerning prodigal expendi-
tures In politics. A rich man who
had been nibbling at the Democratic
nomination for governor of New York
asked William C. Whitney's advice.
This is the advice: "Of course, you
ought to run! Make your preliminary
canvass, and when you have put In
$200,000 you will have become ao
much Interested In It that you will
feel like going ahead and spending
some money."
A MAN OF RESOURCE.
Purchasing Power.
A young gentleman of our ac-
quaintance, who had just reached the
age of six, was recently waiting with
h's mother for a train at a railway
station, when he noticed a penny-ln-
the-slot weighing machine. He asked
his mother a great many questions
about it, and at last received permis-
sion to drop in his penny and be
weighed. Haying obtained that Im-
portant information, he said: "How
much would I have weighed, mamma,
If I had dropped In a dollar?"
Care of Tile Drains.
Lay new and mend old tile drains
In the garden at this time of the year.
A tile drain through the garden Is
worth five times as much as tbe cost
of tbe drain. The better the garden
la drained the warmer the soil will
be, and the sooner it can be worked
In the spring. Perennials, too, will
thrive better with under drainage.
FARM NOTES.
A little varnish daubed on the
thread will make a loose nut stay on.
December is the general butchering
time among the farmers of the corn
belt, though some kill twice a year—
about November and again In
February.
Hay from the different legumes con-
tains about one-third aa much nltro>
gen as does cotton seed meal—that is,
about two per cent., as against about
six per cent.
Cement is a promoter of health for
man aud beast. Cement cellars keep
away dampness. Cement walks dry
quickly after a rain, minimizing the
danger from wet feet. Cement cis-
terns provide pure rain water.
Uncle Sam's census man will be
around early next year to get some
substantial facts regarding your farm-
ing operations and equipment. Begin
aow to calculate things. Weigh the
milk of your cows and test It. Your
espccial Hems may not be worth much
In the sura totnl for the nation, but
they will be worth much to you. It
will teed to dovelofr business habits
that v; ill help to make dairying pay.

Hypnotism Long Recognized.

the medical profession since the fif-
teenth century and In the last 100
years has been experimented and test-

Dr. 8. F. Spohn, President of the
Spohn Medical Co., proprietors of
Spohn's Distemper Cure, was recently
elected mayor of Goahen, Ind., by a
good majority. Mr. Spohn was for a
number of years County Supt. of
Schools, making such a record that his
neighbours and friends, regardless of
political lines, Insisted on his accepting
the nomination for mayor.
Preacriptions Not General.
Some people look on a doctor'a pre-
scription in the same light aa a cook-
ery reclje and pass It on to their
friends for general use. They forget
that some symptoms may come from
totally different causes and that to
take a medicine prescribed for a
friend is a very risky thing to do and
may do a great deal of harm.

FRKCD AT LAST
From the Awful Torturee of Kidney
Disease.
Mrs. Rachel I vie, Henrietta, Texas,
aayt: "I would be ungrateful If I did
not tell what Doan'a
Kidney Pills have
done for me. Fifteen
years kidney trouble
clung to me, my ex-
istence waa one of
misery and for two
whole years I was un-
able to go out of the
house. My back ached all the time and
1 was utterly weak, unable at times to
walk without aasistance. The kidney
secretions were very Irregular. Doan's
Kidney Pills restored me to good
health, and I am able to do as mueh
work as the average woman, though
nearly eighty years old."

The Dsrky'a Idea of It
A correspondent of the Walker
County Messenger tells this one:
"A darky waa on trial in the crim-
inal court last week on a charge of
bigamy. After the Jury haa returned
a verdict of guilty Judge McReynolds
remarked:
"'The beat I can do, Cram, Is to
give you the minimum.'
'Lordy, mercy me, Jedge, don't do
dat! I'd rather go to the pen,' aald
Crum."—Atlanta Constitution.
That Single Thought
You've heard the old story of sweet
wedded bllsa, of the two hearts that
flutter as one, and the two souls single-
thought sealed with a kiss, and have
wondered, no doubt, how 'twas done.
As a wise one who was by experience
taught, this effect we will briefly ex-
plain; in most of the cases that "one
single thought" Is: "I wish I was sin-
gle again!"
