Among Its typical designs for farm icehouses suited to dairymen tlio Unit ed States department of ngriculturo offers the following suggestion for a wooden Icehouse, Insulated with saw dust or mill Bhavings: Framing. All framing used should bo dry, squaro-edged, sawed fair and full to the sizes given, and should not contain any of the following defects: Worm holes, shrikes, heart pith, warped, twisted, or unovenly sawed lumber, rotten or unsound knots. Sizes to bo as shown on drawings. Boards. All boards used should bo thoroughly dry and sound and frco from looao knots, heart centers, shakes, or splits, and should bo dressed and tongucd and grooved. Un seasoned boards should bo carefully avoided. Papers. All paper used should be heavy waterproofed insulating paper, .CVOM OX NOVCkf 5DNU fr'.V VUPC 2.1Gf,CllO Mtfct.

Dou ble thickness of paper should bo used in all cases, each layer lapping bIx Inches over tho preceding ono. Tho layers should extend continuously around all corners, and breaks should ho carefully covered. Insulation. When shavings or saw dust are used they should bo thorough ly dry and freo from dirt, chips, and bark, and well packed into place. When commercial insulation is used and Jnstalled by the manufacturers, it is usually under guaranty that the in sulation will not transmit moro than ATTENTION TO WORK HORSES I Labor Should Not Be Continued for Long Period Without Good Rest and Change of Diet. Horses at work on the farm should be given tho best of care, and tho work should not bo too severe or continued for too long timo without giving tho horso a rest and change of diet. Collars should bo examlnod frequently to see that they conform to changes in tho slzo of tho neck as fat changes to muscles, and' tho names should bo kept perfectly ad justed to tho collar. Tho mane should bo kept from under tho collar and tho shoulders should bo washed at meal times, preferably with a llttlo salt in tho wator. Oats is tho stand ard grain whero available and mixed clover and timothy is ono of tho best hayB. A llttlo hay may bo givon at noon, all tho animals will eat up cleanly ovor night," and none in tho morning. Water should bo givon threo times a day before feeding, and it should bo clean enough for, the owner to drink, Ohio Agricultural College Bulletin. PROFIT IN BREEDING SHEEP Keep Animals Feeling and Looking Good and Flock Will Return the Best They Possess. Tho main point in tho business of sheep breeding is to get tho best lot of breeding ewes you can for tho money you have to invest, then the best ram, and aim to handle them so as to get tho best results in numbers and quality of progeny. This means an observance of caro and feeding that will keep these ani mals alwayB feeling good, looking good, and the flock will return to you tho best they have. Ufl m i.

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS Pasture Rotation, Combined With Drugs, la Practical Method of Suc cessfully Combating Pest. Tho stomach worm is tho worst pest affecting sheep. Lambs aro moro sus ceptible than oldor sheep, probably because tho older sheep aro accus tomed to the presence of tho worm. In tho spring, soon after lambing, tho old sheep should each receive a doso of ono or two ounces of gasoline, fol lowed by a small doso of epsom salts. After a day or two they should bo placed in a worm-frco pasture, if pos sible. In July treat tho whole herd, includ ing tho lambs, with gasolino, and turn them into now pasture, and re peat the process in November. Pas ture rotation, combined with drugs that are injurious to the worms, is n practical method of successfully com bating this worm. GREAT WORK BY SCIENTISTS Results of Research Have Been of Im mense Value to Farmers In Many Different Branches. Scientists have learned much about soils and plants and animals. They have classified tho soils and know about their crop adaptation. Tho ef fects of manures, fertilizers, lime, dralnago and cultivation have been studied. Varieties cf the various grains, grasses, legumes, fruits and vegetables have been compared. Tho production of fruit and vegetables de mands great skill. Science has enabled the orchardlst and market gardoner to combat suc cessfully some of the worst funguses and insect foes. In dairying and poul try husbandry tho results of research have Immense value for practical men. Wrt 5 y Neither the Child Nor Her Parents Discover She Is Better Gradually Led to Walk and Talk By Teacher. Los Angeles. Ono of tho most ro markable cases known In medical his tory and ono fraught with interest both to surgeons nnd to students of psychology, has been called to the at tention or scientists In this city. It is tho case of Cnrlotnu Sauscdo, a flf-toon-ycarold schoolgirl. For threo years Carlotna was con sidered a hopeless paralytic, who would never bo able to speak or walk. Sho had been Injured by n fall an hor head from a swing when sho was twelvo years old. It 1b declared now by doctors and her tcachors that whatever body or brain injuries sho may havo received from that fall have been absolutely outgrown and that sho is pcrfoctly normal physically and mentally, ex copt that hor mind has failed to reg ister tho fact of hor recovery. Doesn't Realize She Is Well. In other words, nccordlng to tho doctors, If the child's mind can bo wakened to tho fact that bIio has re covered from hor fall oho will bo nblo to walk, talk and dovolop as other children do. Whllo three weeks ago Carlotaa could not speak and could not walk alono, today sho speaks with caso, walks without help and can ovon walk up and down tho school stairs alono. Threo years ago tho llttlo girl pitched from a swing to her head. Sho was picked up and stood on hor feet. Instead of standing still sho began to whirl round and round. Sho was entirely unablo to stand still or to sit up. Sho wns put1 to bod and pronounced a hopeless paralytic. Her power of speech was completely stopped. Schoolteacher Finds Her. With tho beginning of tho present school term Miss Ettie Lee, ono of the In Bed for Three Years. grammar school teachers, discovered the child. There wcro Ave other chil dren in tho family, all normal, and Miss Leo inquired into Carlotaa's his tory. Securing medical examination, she learned that, whatever bodily in Jury may have been caused by the fall, it no longer existed. "Wo cannot toll Carlotaa she is not a cripple or sick because her mind has to bo wakened up gradually to that fact," Miss Leo said, "but wo aro teaching her by degrees. Sho is placed In a special class at school and hor teacher inventr Uttlo exercises and lessons for her "She had to bo almost carried to school. Her teacher made a Bmall Band pile in tho playground and many times a day took Carlotaa there and helped her walk over it. Today Carlotaa can walk up and down the school stairs. Tho othor'day sho went alono to tho soup kltchon, got her cup of soup and sipped it unaided. Was In Bed Three Years. "Whon school oponcd she could not talk. Now sho talks to us and knows what wo say. Sho can count in Eng lish and Spanish and can writo her own name. Hor rather tolls mo sho was unusually bright beforo tho fall, and I see no reason to supposo that sho cannot bo restored to her former condition. "Sho has been in bed for tho great er part of tho past threo years, as tho schools at Chlno would not take her in. So, whllo her body healed it self, apparently her mind never re covered from tho shock of tho fall." Llttlo Carlotaa was taken to tho Parent-Teacher clinic for further ex amination to verify the diagnosis or other doctors. If a similar report la mado, her special teachers will con tinue as thoy havo bogun in their novel work of teaching tho child's mind that hor body is neither pax alyzed nor injured in any way.
