Mr. Thorp then showed his system of making artificial ice by natural cold. He had on exhibition a model of a long The box In which the ice is frozen. box in which he freezes his ice is 14 feet long, 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep. The inside of the box is waxed with. paraftine wax, which makes it asy to remove the ice when it is frozen. The waxing must be done during a warm day, and the wax should be used boiling hot, so the wax will stick to the box. In freezing he puts in only three inches of water at a time and lets that freeze before putting in more. He has been using three of these boxes for the last few years. With three of these boxes you can fill an ice house very quickly. When you loosen the ice from one of these boxes you have a single cake of ice 14x2x1, which is sawed into cakes the size desired. A feed cutter comes very handy en a farm, if it be not in such shape that It has to be set up every time it is to be used. Q. How do you build an ice hous and how do you pack the ice? A. I would build it about as I would any common building, but I would make the walls double, with lath and plaster on the inside, and then I would paint the walls. I pack the Ice with dry snow, and the cracks between the cakes I pack with dry snow also. I do not put the ice against the outh side wall, but leave a space t. which I fill with John W. Decker spoke on The cheese industry Is In better shape than it has been before for many years, due largely to the passage of laws against filled cheese. New York and Wisconsin are the great cheesemaklng states. At the South and in some parts of the North dairying Is not carried on to any great extent So the states that make cheese will have to supply not only them-iel- v but the others. Canada has ary corn ration and wonders why his flock do not thrive and the pullets do not lay. The development cf pullets for laying Is very much like that of heifers for giving milk.
