If you have plenty of sawdust, y o u need havo no difliculty. Wo havo n e v e r seen ice keep better than in a b o a r d shanty . w ith tingle board walla, b u i l t originally for a sm a ll cheap cow stab le. Tlu; three essential reqiiinilies w e r e observed, nam e ly: 1. Good drain a g e a t the bottom, w ithout adm itting a i r f r o m w ithout; A conuiacc wall o f saw d u s t a foot thick on each side of th o solid cube of ice, built ol solid block*-;!!.

We have y e a r ly lilled ice houses, for the past !!0 y e a r s or more, on this sim p le plan, and n e v e r had tho least trouble. The bot to m w a s loose plank, covered with 10 in c h e s of saw d u st; th e 10 inches or fo o t of saw d u s t on each side was lilled in carefully as fast a s the solid struc tu r e s of ico w ent u p , and tbe wind from w i t h o u t was allowed (o blow freely o v e r tho HI inches or a t'uol of sawdust ou tin; top. If the w o ik is don-> badly o r cjtrlt-ssly, or som e essential omitted, fa il u r e m a y result, but not otherwise. T h o best m ethods of s toring ice und its profitable use was one of the topics to lie discussed, an d a f te r tho nrtiele of M r. Thom a s had been read Mr. Wood ..iruff s tated that ho had seen straw used 'in s t e a d of saw d u st w h e n the latter could n o t be easily procured J . H .

P resident N o jes a sked if old sawdust o r t h a t which had been long in uso on Ice w e re as good as new , and Mr.‘Giles said it ivm tetter, because not so liable to heat. P resident then asked if it was neces s a r y to have an y th in g underneath ex c e p t saw d u st, and A . P . Baker stated th-t In* m ade a layer of old boards, but if he w a s to build anew , ho should di* o u t n s p a re and Mil w ith stones. M r W lmbei’k of Flem ing stated that ho had heard of the theory of using stra w to be as good as saw d u st and hud trie d it, but Knind t h a t in warm weather liis ice Buttled Ilis ice house was built on th e ground w ith singl<* hemlock bo a r d s , aud s u rrounded on all sides and o n t h e bottom with from six to twelve in c h e s of s.iwdust, w ith good drainage, a n d his ice kept until November.

M r. Sviiitbeck asked if H would bo w e ll to line his ico house, as he was to b u ild a new one, and fill in h»twcen tho lin i n g aud outer wall Mr (Jilts said it w o u ld be n j benefit w h a tever.

He keeps piieking the sa w d u s t from tim e to timo as the ico fa ll s tiway. A . D. baker said t h a t Cayuga ico men did n o t c o n tinue the packing \as hollow places below m ight bo left being unseen. \V int. r dairying, is i t profitable '* was th e second tjp i c fo r thu day, and thu discussion was opened by Mr. UilA of S k a n e a toles, who first passed around for in s p e c tion, two nice balls of yellow win te r b u t te r th a t lie had made. M r. Giles spoke at such great length tb a t w a n t of spuce compels a condensed re p o r t of his r e m a rks Ho said take all th o cow s in this s tate m a k ing butter and th o aggregate per cow is $IH.‘10. This f a c t does aw ay w ith the idea of j roiit fo r n o m a n could keep cows a t that poor show ing. The fact show s a lack of caro a n d experience in im p roved methods a n d is not ■' a rranted am o n g enlightened fa r m e r s . W h ero do we differ from tho b e s t w a y , should bo thequestion lo solve. O n e reason m ay bo th a t w e a re not in a g o o d dairying section, t ’ayuga and O n o n d a g a aro not tho best counties for th o dairy. The average in these coun tie s w o u ld probably lie about six cows a n d tho cost of keeping is about $ii0 a cow , so ',hnt instead of a profit, there is a larg o deficit. One cause of this loss is th e uso of old methods. H o w e n t last •sum m e r through a p o r t io n of B o u thern C a y u g a county and a l l along tho w ay ho saw on about ono o u t o f tw o farm s , th e old timo tin pans.

He com p lained, b u t accepted tlio o f fer. I explained to him how I mado b u t t e r and th a t I had sold th a t samo day fo r 25 c ents. Thero is surely a profit in w i n t e r dairying.

In tho rush of charitable entertain m ents t h a t will follow d u r i n g th e next tw o w e eks, it is hoped t h a t th e attrac tions offered by the co n c e r t an d drill given by tho W omen’s E d u c a tio n a l and In d u s tr ial union, will no t be overlooked. The c o n c e rt will be u n d e r th o direction of Miss Charlotte Robinson, assisted by Mr. A d a m s and other a r t i s t s of equal excellence. Thu drill, g i v e n by the Salem Tow n Commande.ry D r ill corps is quite equal in precision of m o v em e n ts to a n y organization in the sta te . The building fund of tho union is in need o f substantial aid. T b e w isdom of in c u r r in g this large indebtedness, has been already dem o n strated, by tlio un- orecedented success in th e ir w o r k , thus far, th is winter. Tlio parlors are open, every d a y , a fter 2 o’clock r . .\t., and aro v i s i te d by an oncouraging numbers of y o u n g girls and w o m e n , overy week, who eag e r ly read the papers and periodicals placed there, for th e ir benefit. The circulating library is also appreciated, a n d every W e d n e sday evening, from 50 t o CO bookB aro d r a w n from it. The ovening classes are also largely attended, and with the b e s t results. There aro still many b r a n c h e s of this w o rk, t h a t have not been undertaken, but w ith timo and proper encourage m ent, all this will bo done. T h e claims therefore of this union a r e based on good w o rk, already done, a n d though the benefit m ay not bo aa a p p a r e n t as in other formii of charitable effort, still this hav e n of good influences and teaching cannot be lost a n d wo feel assured t h a t our appeal fo r assistance will n o t be made, in vain.
