How to II till dan Ice-IIousc.
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

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

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.

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.

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

SALEH GRAPE!
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.
