Wooden Icehouse, Insulated With 8awdust or Mill Shavings.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of AKriculturv.)
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,

not the ordinary building paper. 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

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.

Excavating and Grading. Excavate
for floor and foundations sufficient to

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.

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

the child. There wcro Ave other chil

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

"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
