A subscriber wishes to know how to construct an ice-house that will supply four families ; whether to make above or below ground ; in a u rove by the side of a stream, or on the open prairie, etc. There are very few men who favor making ice-houses under ground, as it is found that ice wastes faster from the heat derived from the earth than from thut received directly from the sun. We would commend building in the shade rather than on the open prairie, as the air would be somewhat cooler. Near the stream would le a convenient site for the building, as it would belit tle trouble to put the blocks of iceinto it, and the spaces between the blocks could then be easily tilled with waiter and frozen during some of the severest davs of winter. Wood is generally re garded as cheapest and best material to use in the construction of an ice house, as it is necessary to have a hol low or double w ail and a filling of some non-conductingsubstance in any case. A building eight feet high, eight by twelve on the ground, would doubtless lp of sufficient capacity for supplying four families, and allow one-fourth ff the ice to go to waste. Many persons build ice-houscs by placingthe sills directly on theground. but our experience is that the icewill keep better if the building is entirely supported by upright iKsts, which we would prefer to have embedded in charcoal . ' This allows a free circula tion of air under the building, and provides for suitable drainage. The only difference between building an ice-house and any other building is, that it must be a double building (one inside of the other)at leat as far as the walls are concerned. The space be tween the walls will depend upon the efficiency of the non-conductor used for filling; ifit is to be pulverized char coal, six -inches would be guflicientj but if saw dust or spent tan bark is to be the material, then a foot would be the proper distance. The roof may be Tnadc double like the wall, but it isn cheaper plan to make a floor across from the eaves, which may be covered on top with loose saw dust. If this plan be adopted, the walls of the gable ends may be single, and a door can be cut through one of them and through the floor across the eaves, through which the ice can be passed into the building. It is well to divide off a few feet on each end of the building for cooling room for milk, or a room for keeping fresh meat and vegetables. The doors leading into and out of this room should be double like the walls, and may be either fitted with heavy hinges or made to slide. An ice-house should be opened but once a iay, which should be as early in the mor ning a3 possible. Gcrmantoim Tele graph. "Fifty-Two" vs. "Twelve."

What Horses Bring. Horses of great reputation have always com manded great prices. At Newmarket, in ISOo, a bay colt, by Pipato, sold for $7o,0(K). In the same year a two-year old colt by Beningborough, a two-year old by Volunteer, and a three year old filly by Sir l'eter, were soiu lor o,uuu each. For the celebrated horse Shark, $."o,000 were refused, and O' Kelly de clined to accept an offer of $100,000 for his stallion. Traaition says that the Duke of Devonshire refused for Fly ing Childers the weight of tho horse in trold. A few years ago the great sire Stockwell could not be bought for 100,000; and we presume that when Gladiatour was carrying everything before him on the English turf, the Count de la Grande would not have parted with him for $150,000. Com ing to America, we find that nearly $15,000 were paid for Lexington and that his son, Kentucky, was sold for $40,000. Mr. Alexander re fureifSjO, 000 for Asteroid, Kentucky's half bro ther; and Norfolk, another half brother, wn Talued at $40,000. Mr. Bonner paid $35,000 for Dexter, and offers $100,000 for one that can equal Dexter's wagon time. Turf Field and FarmT Heaves. Will you please let me know what is the best remedy for heaves, and how to treat the horse? Answer. The treatment of heaves can only be palliative. Whatever increas es the distension of the digestive or gans, aggravates the complaint by in creasing the difficulty of expanding the lungs; therefore the diet slwuld consist of a liberal allowance of good old oats and a limited quantity of the best timothy hay. Abstain from over distension of the lungs by too violent and too sudden exertion, particularly after eating. The food should be reg ularly given, in moderate quantities only; all the food given should be moistened : water should be sparingly given, particularly in the working hours: at night a moderate quantity may and should be allowed, but on no account let the horse drink his fill at a trough'. Spirit of the times. ; , How to Clean Broom Corn Seed. Messrs. Editors: In your issue of September 11th, Benjamin Roach, of rs atchez, asked for a seed cleaner lor broom corn. : A very good ami simple one can be made by taking an old grain fanning mill, and in . place tf the arms, substitute a drum 1:2 inches in diameter; on the outside of tkis drum nail strips all around, first drive through the strips lb-penny -nails, after the manner of a threshing cylin der; take the broom corn by hand- fuls, and hold it to receive the action of these teeth while revolving : two men can clean whale one tnrns.

Editor of the Omaha Dally Herald. I saw an article in the SI. Joseph Gazette, taken from your paper, "What shall "we raise next year." . . - i That is an Important quetioa to every far mer. Having been in this sect J ou but a short time, I have come to the conclusion that, with richness of soil that exists in North Missouri, broom corn can be grown with a larger profit per acre than any other crop. Having a practical knowledge of raking it In dim-rent parts of the country, I kuow it to le a fact. A good yield of broom cor per acre is to turn, at the lowest estimates, now, at the present prices of brush $.t0 per ton, will it not pay ? or even f JH, will it not be more ifctnunerattve to thefarmer than many other crop which he has always raised.. I would not advise any one to raise it without some knowledge of it, as It would be a ruinous op end o . The soli is. I think, very well adap ted for it in this section and In Iowa, Good vround Is what is required and here we have it. For the past season I have been wholly engaged in the business, and cn safely re commend it to nny one as a business teat will pay. Any information as regards the tending of a crop will be cordially given. Will be In business in this country during the winter. IntheSprlng would like to en ter the business with some enterprising far mer, as I have had tho experience required. Farmers when their crops are secured, have but little to do until spring, but it Is not so in tills case, for a large protit can 1 made in making brooms, a a good broom will com mand a price at any season of the year. Can give the lest of references and would like the opportunity of handling a large crop, and giving any Information desired. , Yours respectfully, ViuGit. F. Little Grape Growing. -A. Birney, in New York Farmers'. Club, said that he wished to call the attention of those who had houses to rent in cities to the importance of planting grape vines in their gardens. He asserted that he could get $200. per annum for his houses more than his neighbors, simply because he had planted a few grape "Vlnes'IrT the back'yard. "By planting a few, vinci, shrubs and trees on a city lot, it becomes an attractive place, and people will pay more rent for the same. He had tried this for the past seven years 'with the places he had for rent, and found that no other investment paid so handsome a profit as that which lie spent in vines and shrubs. It has often been said that such Im provements were not appreciated by tenants, but he had found it other wise; and no tree or vine had ever been injured by those who occupied his houses. Mr. Carpenter This subject of im proving property which is held for rent or sale, by planting trees and shrubs upon it, might be discussed much longer, and with profit to all concerned. Let those who have land for sale in our suburbs, plant trees upon it and get a little fruit to growing, and they will find no difficulty in selling at re munerative prices. It if a great oversight in people, this neglecting to make their proper ty attractive by planting trees. Grindstones. A correspondent says: "The grindstone is a self-sharpening tool, and after having been tur ned for some time in one directiion (if a hard -stone), the motion should be reversed. Sand of the right grit, ap plied occasionally to a hard stone, will render it quite effectual." Scientific American. To Prevent Rows Lyiwo ow thkb Yorxo Pigs.

Should be In every Carden and every Viprard In the land. We have good evidence thai in th J Wet it is to oe eminently succesxfnl. it Is eurner, aiMi infinitely nuperior "to theConconl In nuality. and must suppliint that variety so fast as its meriLs be come known. The Salem, as is well known, is the best of the "Rogers Hybrids." Mr. Rogers thus describe it: "Like other well known kinds, Nos. 4 and 15. thLs is a Hybrid between a native and tho Black flam burg, bunch lanre and compact, berry large as Hiimourg.or a light chestnut or ( utawoa color, thin skinned, perfectly free from hard pulp, very sweet and sprightly, with a most exuutsite aromatic n vor; not equalled by any other out-door grape for wine or table;' as early and hardy -lelawre or Hartford, having never tailed to Mueu its iruit. In the most unfuvomhle seawjn. for the pat six ears. laKing all ns quaiitiot into consioeratiin. earllnes, hardiness, and great vigor of vine, sine and quaiily of fruit, it is pronounced by the bent judge who have tried it, to have' no equal anion all the nu merous varieties now Delore the public: and I can with confidence recommend it as the best of ail my collection." The bulk of the Salem stock pased from Mr. Rotrers into the bands of Mr. T. L. Harris, at Salem ou-Krie. That gentleman ha .K) arres of it in Vine yard, and under date of AugMh, lust, writes : Dkar Sib : I have much pleasure in continuing to report mod favorably of the Salem. They are perfectly hardy in every respect, and a mont vigor ous grower. They have not suffered from the win ter or the trying summer, escaping nuldew where other varieties have been affected .seriously. I am so well satisfied with their promise, that al though I have thirty acres of this one variety, I filled up most of the vacancies in my other vfne vards with them. Yours truly T. L. IIARRIS. Last spring we relieved Mr. Harris from theprop acution of the Salem, by purchasing his entire stock of vines for transplanting, and also the wood from his large vineyard. We are consequently able to olfer to the public the Earnest and best stock of Salem Vines in the Country, at low rates, to large and small planters. If we are to compete with our California friends in Grape growing, we must plant the large and showy varieties those which most nearly approach the choiee foreign kinds In appearance and quality. We offer all leading varieties for sale at VERY LOW RATES. Our circulars contain a cut of the Salem, snd tes timonials. Sent on application. Address 1. 1L BARCOCK & CO.r Salem Grape Xursebtes.
