concerned. The report shows that
rains continued general over the
state until about the middle of the
eek, when they ceased and the
weather became much warmer. This
change, according to the report, was
beneficial to all growing crops, es
pecially corn, which since has made
rapid progress and Is now close to
the normal condition at this time of
the year.
While the Burllntrton'a report generally
Is optlinlMIc, bumper corn crop la not
VrecHited, tl.l being It lanituege;
"Aa stilted In previous reports, corn had
a bad start and locally soma of the first
planting- was damaged: The crop, as a
whole, can hardly be said to ba damaged,
as there la ample time and sunshine after
July l to make a corn crop In Nebraska.
It la simply a question of moisture the
latter part of the season. Bo far aa
present conditions of corn Is concerned,
we may have any kind of a crop, or no
crop."

OMAHA, June IH.-To the Editor of
The Pee: Kudosed find ." to asslt In
furnishing pure milk and Ice for babies
and children during the hot months.
The raising of a fuhd for this work Is
very commendable In you and the money
expended will be of great value In con
serving the health, lives and comfort of
the little onee In this city.
In this connection, if, you would make
known the following Instructions for
making an Ice box, which will coat com
paratively nothing, and any person can
construct It, I think it would be advan
tageous. Take a box eighteen Inches square,
which can be gotten at any grocery
store, put three Inchea of sawdust In the
bottom of the Ice box and upon the
sawdust place two pails, one In
side the other, and fill the space be
tween the box and the upper pall with
sawdust. Into the Inner pall put your
mil or nursing bottles, surrounding them
with cracked Ice, then cover the Inner
Tall with a tin cover and the box. with
Its own cover, on the under surface of
which nail on about ten newspspers.
When you wish to pour out Ice water,
rl in ply take out the inner pall. Keek thli
Ice box In a cool, shady place and It will
asnwer all the purposes of a high-priced
lea box for the care of milk.
