MODEL ICEHOUSE.
Daslaaaa With B.l.... i. r..n
l.aea aa Savlas; tfcav
While Ice Is generally spoken of aa a
luxury among farmers It Is rapidly
becoming regarded In another light.
There is not only comfort Iq It for the
farmer and bis family, but economy luj
the keeping of farm producta. besides i
which, with the Increasing demand for j
Ice, come money may be made by sell
:. coavaaiasT icxhoph. ' ;.
Ing It to others, ; The bouse here de
scribed cen be built for a ' moderate
sum, and tbe man who devised' It bad
la view points not always considered.
He la thus quoted Jn Ohio Farmer:, '
t Tbe convenience of the bouse built
for the storing of Ice for a family sup
ply la of as great Importance as It
ability to keep tbe Ice frour melting.
The tune of storing occupies but a day
or two and that at a fame of tbe year
when the farmer is not busy, but dur
1 Ing tbe hot months when Ice la In daily
use the farmer la a bnay man. Tbe
chores ongbt to be few and quickly
done. The filling of the" refrigerator
and .the placing of Ice for the dairy
from tbe average Icehouse Is n daily
task that is laborious. In View of
these facts I put off building an Ice
house until I waa satisfied that I could
build one which I could enter without
closing tbe door; loosen tbe Ice desired
and carry It out, all without having to
. uncover the remaining Ice each time
and still nave It keep well
My bouse Is built as follows: It Is 10
by 20 feet and 8 feet high to the square.
The rafters are 15 feet long, making a
' roof with - a ' very steep , pitch. , The
bouse Is built with three walla, making
two spaces, the Inner one to be filled
Close up st the top of each gable Is a 2

spaces and la nearly airtight, when

TOMATO TESTS..'" W

' . Elaborate testa of many varieties of
tomatoes have -been made during tbe
'past few years by American Garden-
lng. The following Items are- taken
from I ta resume of these; Last year
onr results from aeventy odd varieties
were that a good type of Stone was the
- ; best all round tomato, and after anotb
er season's laborwe have no reason to
modify that opinion. . Another tomato
that has established a good reputation

Trucker's Favorite. ' It Is of good size.
a good shipper and of flue flavor, but
baa a pink skin, which In some nia
kets is a disadvantage. Royal Red
makes a urge, handsome fruit, but In
no way equals Stone aa a cropper.
Earuana simply cropped Itself to deatb.
We were able to gather. some very
ly fruits of good qnaHty, but In mid
season and late , the fruits were not
properly colored and were poor In qunl
ity. The vine sets such an enormous
number of fruits tbat It cannot finish
them. Trophy Is still an acceptable
rruit, not so eany aa Btone.
Early Michigan, grown this season
for tbe first time,- waa well liked. Fruit
medium In size, of high quality and tbe
vine apparently a good yielder.
A newcomer that baa found consid
erable favor purely as an exhibition
variety Is Enormous. .The bablt of the
plant Is miserable. It cannot be train
ed to a stake, and It makes a very poor
busb. The yield of fruit Is exceedingly
light, but tbe few perfect specimens
obtained ara simply magnificent In
weight It averaged from 14 to 10
ounces and when fully ripe la a bril
liant, deep toned red almot.o4 though
artificially polished.
; Quarter Century was disappointing In
both yield and size, but for perfection
and color of what fruits we did bare
we know of nothing to equal It. - Tbe

wblah largely accounts for Its marvel

doubt but tbst tb variety csa be
grown In this country and successfully
shipped to Europe, for If picked st tbe
right stage It will ripen on the voyage.

ara so much alike tbat tbe fruits of tbe
one may be exhibited as tbe older.
We have very little lo soy on tbe

Wa have about come to tbe conclusion
that these comparative distinctions In
tba time of ripening amount to but
very little. In our experience, wltb tbe
exception of Honor Bright and Trophy.

Tbo rules forbid tbe use of coloring,
