about lph tons of ice ica during tho the year but it can be used to hold eggs and butter buffer over the season of abundant production A supply of fresh meat can be kept by such means meansie me ansIn in licali lacall ties wh where ere distributing wagons are not run and even where a local supply la Is available the producer can arran arrange geto to supply his table at wholesale rather than retail prices by killing his own sheep pigs or veal instances are known where an equipment ot of this bott bort has paid for itself tn in a single season through ith the advance secured by holding the egg output for only 60 days dealers purchase and store eggs while they aro am most moat abundant and cheapest and dispose of them during the season of less abundant production at an advanced price A well constructed and well handled refrigerator of bf this kind hind on the farm will i enable the producer produce r to keep this profit at home the construction of an ice chest where a less expensive cooler Is do sired aired an tee ice chest vhal w ill be ba found to serve cerve a useful purpose such a chest can bo be mado from two packing boxes one cue 12 inches longer and wider than the other and 0 inches deeper it if tho inner box is 2 feet wide 2 feet deep and 3 feet long the outer box should be 3 feet wide 4 feet long and 30 inches deep tho the inner box which should be b raade made of at match matched edwhite white pine or cypress should be lined with zinc and provided with a drip pipe in the bottom near one end and a metal grating 12 inches from that end so as to make a cage in which to store a b block lock of ice A layer oi at six inches of cork dust or white pine shavings should be placed in the iho bottom 1 of the larger be box x after it has been 11 lined nod with waterproof building paper place e the smalle I 1 box on the layer of insulation making provision for the drain and I 1 then pack the ariew insulating material tightly in the space between the outer and the tiner luner be box fit a board over the packing ing between tho the box 3 so BO as ta cover the edges of both then hinge a thick well hell insulated cove to the abe outer box which should ht fit tightly and bo be largo large enough to cover the abo entire top of at the chest the joints can be made tight by weather strips and anda felt the cover should bo be provided povl ded with a counter weight and a good feord ica chest hasp to hold it if in place i creamery and farmer aa business associates ih any line of manufacture the production of bf the raw material and the manufacturing of it into a finished product are very closely associated the one would be an impossibility without the other as aa the amount and quality of the raw material furnished ay the producer affects the eco economic domic clency of the manufacturing nent while I 1 tho pro produced produce ducet i of the raw material depends upon the man manu u fac tor for a market tor for hla his product the manufacturer a nn an individual la the more dependent because of oe t tb h 0 fact that the factory must musi hava the ibe I 1 producer of raw material in order to exist the producer produce Is t more at liberty to change hla his line than la Is the r manu fao nc lurer hence while there Is ili a close Inter interdependence depe nolence between the producer and the tha manufacturer the former la ia the fhe more independent and it to la there tore expedient that the manefa manufacturer attempt in every way possible to as elat him in producing the raw material more moro intelligently and economically the above holds tru oi of the rola rela existing between the creamery and the dairy farmer farn ler the cream 1 ery cry Is dependent on the farmer tor for lla its existence tor for the amount of raw material received land and consequently tot for I 1 the economic production of the an phed article per autt unit it necessary that the farmer bo be shown how to produce milk and cream economically else he be hasa tendency to turn to other lines of agriculture while much has been said and abot written about the profits to ha be derived from rom dalry dairy earming tar ming n lev leea s proper cioper methods are employed the me gincomo trop the dairy herd is IB viry very small anything that can be deneto increase the profit from a dairy herd in a community not only increases
