(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The cost of constructing a refrig erator or an ice chest is small in com parison with economic returns and the comfort they offer the farmer. Thoy are even of greater Importance in the country than in the city, although many of our rural population do not avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy the luxury of lco. Tho United States department of ag rlculturo in a farmer's bulletin (No. 475) on "Ice Houses" outlines the manner of construction of a farm re frigerator large enough to meet the requirements of a well-equipped farm for the storage of butter, eggs and fresh meats and for chilling fruit in small quantities. This refrigerator can be constructed In a cellar, in the lean-to of an ice house, or in any other farm building where convenient and suitable protec tion can be provided. If none of these alternatives Is possible the refrigera tor may bo constructed as an inde pendent building. If built as a sepa rate structure the same care in the cholco of a Bite should be exercised as in choosing tho location of an Icehouse. Tho construction is shown in detail in Fig. 1. Tho essential feature is a well-insulated room containing nn ico rack, drip pan and drain. This refrig erator is 8 by 10 feet and has a floor spaco 6 by 8 feet available for tho i storago of produce. Such an arrangement will require I about 10d tons of ico during tho year, but it can bo used to hold eggB and butter over the season of abundant production. A supply of freBh meat can be kept by such means in locali ties whero distributing wagons aro not run, and even where a local sup ply is available the producer can ar range to supply his table at wholesale rather than retail prices by killing his own sheep, plgu or veal. Instances aro known whero an equipment of this sort has paid fpr itself in a single season through tho advance secured by holding tho egg output for only 60 days. Dealers purchase and store eggs whllo they are most abundant and dispose of them during the sea son of less abundant production at an advanced price. A well-constructed and well-handled refrigerator of this kind on tho farm will enable the pro ducer to keep this profit at home. Construction of Ice Chest. Where a less expensive cooler is desired nn ico chest will bo found to servo a useful purpose. Such a chest can bo mado from two boxes, one 12 Inches longer and wider than tho other and 6 Inches deeper. If tho Inner box is 2 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 3 feet long, tho outer box should be 3 feet wldo, 4 feet lpng and 30 inches deep. Tho inner box, which should bo made of matched whlto pino or cypress, should bo lined with zinc and provided with a drip pipe In the bottom near ono end and n metal grat ing 12 Inches from that end, so as to mnko a cage In which to store a block of Ico. A layer of 6 Inches of cork dust or dry whlto pine shavings should be placed in the bottom of the larger box after It has been lined with water proof building paper, Placo tbo smaller box on tho layer of Insulation, making provision for tho drain, and then pack the same Insulating material tightly In the Bpaco between tho outer dnd the Inner box. Fit a board over tho packing between tho boxes so ns to cover tho edgo of both Then hingo a thick, well-lusulated cover to the en tiro top of tho chest. Tho JolntB can bo mado tight by weather strips nnd felt. Tho cover should bo provided with a counter weight and n good Ice chest hasp to hold It in placo. How to Make Ice. Whero thero aro no lco ponds block fee can bo mado easily by allowing wator to freeze In canB of heavy gal vanized iron' provided with a heavy band-iron or wiro re-enforcement around tho top. Any tinsmith can make such cans The cans should be of the dimen I 3t Elivvthn. C Plan J. Strfioy sions of a standard cako of Ice; that is, 22 Inches square at tho top, tht bottom being somewhat smaller so at to make the sides of the can allghtlj flaring, and the depth to be 22 or 3! inches as desired. As soon as settled cold weather comes arrange the cans on a lovel plat of ground or on a level platform near the well or other water supply. Fill tho cans with clear, fresh water, and when a sufficient thickness of ice has formed to permit them to be turned over, even if tho shell of ice Is not more than 16 or 2 inches thick, pour a quart or two of boiling water over each upturned can to loosen it from tho shell of ice. This will give a hollow shell of lco about 2 Inches thick on the bottom, which was for merly tho surface of tho water in the can, 1V6 inches thick on the sides, and with only a thin sholl on the top, which was at tho bottom. of tho can. Remove thlB shell carefully from the can, break the thin Ice over the top and removo all but about 2 Inches of the water in tho cavity. Place the shell of Ico in an exposed but well shaded situation and as rapidly as tho water in tho shell freezes add a few quarts at a tlmo until tho entire cavity is filled and a solid block of Ice is pro duced. In this wuy, with 15 to 25 cans, tho necessary supply for a farm can bo secured at small cost In a few days, tho tlmo depending, of course, upon tho weather conditions and tho number of cans In operation. If tho cans nro carefully handled they uliould last sevoral years. Tho lco ob tained in this way will bo pure freo from vegetable growth, which Borao tlmes damageB pond and river Ico. Bo catiso of its superior quality such ice will justify the construction of a build ing which will permit its being stored without the use of sawdust or shav ings. A building constructed after tho plan suggested Is described in tho United States department of agricul ture's farmer's bullotln (No. 475) on "Ice Houses, which is furnished by the department for tho asking. Tho home lco supply la sometimes obtained by using a combination of natural and artificial means. Whero an elevated water tank Is at one's command a line of plpo can bo carried to perforated pipes placed on tho cell ing of the ico house, and during freez ing weather the pressuro from tho tank can bo used to enrry water through the perforated pipes to bo sprayed iiflo tho storago chamber as long as freezing continues. By care ful use of this plan on cold nights and during freezing days a supply of Ico can be built up In placo. Tbo protec tion of such a supply Is tho samo as that of lco cut and stored in tho usual manner.

This lesson consists of two para graphs which constitute what might be termed two commlssIonH or two purtH of tho Great Commission. There nre four distinct accounts of tho final com mands of our Lord to hlu dlBclplcs, ach presenting n different phnsn of the work ho committed to his follow ers. In this lesson wo havo for our consideration two of these aspects which ought not to bo confused. I. The Appearance In Jerusalem, Thomas Relng Absent. Luke 24:36-49. (1) The Resurrected tord, vv. 36-43. Tho EmmauB disciples reported to the disciples, and those gathered with them in Jerusalem, the things they had experienced, especially in the breaking of broad. This occurred late in the evening (see tuko 24:29, 33), While they, and tho others, wore re hearsing the many things that had ta ken placo on that first eventful day, Jesus himself suddenly appears In their midst without tho opening of a door and asks them of their thoughts. Onco before he had thus searched them (Luke 9:46, 47), but now the oc casion Ib qulto different Fear of tho Jews had crowded them Into this room but no closed door except that of tho human heurt can keep out tho risen .Lord. Simon's report (ch. 24:34) and that of tho Emmaus disciples wore not sufficient to allay their fear. Fear at this visible evidence of tho supernat ural is true of us all, but when Jesus truly is present thero is peace no matter what may be tho turmoil with out, or tho fear within. Man of Flesh and Bone. This appearance was a demonstra tion that it was ho himself, and to add proof upon proof ho first showed them his pierced bands and feet, and then called for fish and ate it before, and doubtlcsB with, thorn. Jesus is today a man of flesh and bono as much ae when ho walked Galilee's hills. His blood he poured out upon Calvary. Tho evidence of the literal, phyalaal resurrection of ChrlBt is so overwhelm ing that tho unbeliever docs violence to his reason not to accept It. (2) The Ascended Lord, vv. 44-49. This coming of Jesus and his messnge of peace and assurance; brought also a commission that this great fact bo told to others. Tho ovent recorded in these verses did not occur In Jeru salem but upon Mount Olivet nnd con stitutes tho final appearance of Jesus. As he had done often boforc, bo now he sets his seal upon tho Old Testa ment, expressly speaking of Its books under their accepted three-fold divi sion (v. 44). In these there aro bo tween. throo and four hundred direct, not to speak of the indirect, prophe cies concerning him. What we need is to havo the Holy Spirit that wo may "understand" (v. 45), tho purpose of his llfo and death. Jesus taught his disciples what that purpose Ib (v. 47), viz., the "remission of sins," based on tho euro ground of his finished work. This, and this alone, is the gospel and it is to be preached in his name unto all nations a missionary suggestion but beginning at homo, in Jerusalem. Verse 49 tells us of that other needed preparation to make us effective wit nesses, tho enduemont of the Holy Spirit. Some Disciples Doubteti. II. The Appearance to the Eleven In Galilee, Matt. 28:16-20. This event took place much later than that men tioned in tho first part of the previous section. As wo carefully read this section it suggests that Jesus was somewhat romoved from tho dis ciples, yet their vision was so clear that they worshiped him, though soma doubted. Drawing near to tho dis ciples ha first of all emphasizes his supremo authority, "all powor 1b given unto mo," and on that authority ho commissioned them to their work of dlsclpling "nil nations." Mark's ren dering of this commission (16:15, 16) Ib moro inclusive, "to tho whole crea tion," including all of man's welfare, social as well as spiritual. For Jesus thus to claim authority nnd to send forth his ambassadors and still not bo "the very God of tho very God" Ib to stamp him cither as an impostor or a lunatic. Because all power Is his, thereforo tho obligation and tho ac companying Holy Spirit who will en able ub to tench tho things ho has com manded. There is back of tho com mission "nil power" and accompany ing it a blessed fellowship, "Lo, I am with you nil tho days." Tho sad thing is that after nearly two thousand ycare wo havo carried out so poorly tho great commission. And lastly tho disclplo Is not to go in his own strength or wisdom. Ills parables dcscrlbo fully the ago upon which tho disciples wero entering. As thoy went forward and us wo "follow in their train," to dovoto ourselves to tho enterprises of his kingdom, he de clared that ho would bo with thorn and with us until the tlmo of tho consum mation of tho age.
