(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, voronto.) VERY Ontario farmer who produces Milk,—and most of the farmers do,—should store a quantity of ice each, winter in order to make it easier for him to cool the milk dawn after the evening milking, and to keep it sweet for such short periods,—week-ends for example,—as he may be required to keep it before delivering it at the cheese factory or other point of dis- posal, In order to Preserve the ice satisfactorily seine tin= of ice -house or shelter is necessary. The purpose of this article is to describe in a few words a type of ice -house which will give good satisfaction. The ice -house does not necessarily have to be expensive, but certain con- ditions in regard to it must obtain SATURDAY Officials announced that Toronto's new Union Station will be completed by May 1, Bread has gone up from 11 to 15 cents a small loaf . at Kitchener.

These I shall emphasie first and they are,— protection of lee from sun's rays, this is the wall, good drainage from the bottom of the house, either natural or artificial, free circulation of air through the top, air -tight foundation, plenty of good -quality of dry sawdust on all sides of the mass of ice, and close packing of the iee. If these conditions can be secured in a rough bin built under a sbed, or a lean-to on the shady side of a building, all wet' and good unless one has other. good reasons for building a more ex- pensive structure elsewhere. The matter of convenience is often a de- ciding factor in this case, and the type of ice -house I 'am about to de- scribe is a good illustration of this fact. Only once have I seen it in use, but there is noreason why it could not be used quite generally. , This particular type consists of a lean-to structure of wood at one end of the barn which has the stable underneath. The size would vary with, the amount of tee required, but probably a building 15 feet square and 12 feet high would be large enough for most farriers' needs. In this structure and at the side adja- cent to the barn, or rather the base- ment wall, is built a,Concrete enclo- sure about 6 feet square and 6 or 61k feet high. A door in the basement wall admits one to it. esIealthe side opposite to the doorway there is a row of 3 or 4 -inch tile near the bot- tom for letting in the cbld air from the ice which is packed closely to the concrete storage on all three sides and over the top as well: ; Between the top of the storage and the barn there is a narrow passage -way .or flue- for allowing the foul or- used air to get out, hence good circulation in the i storage is 'provided for. :-ln this par- ticularcase the farmer has his milk - room containing cream separator, etc., adjoining this storage and when- ever he -wishes to cool rrdIh or cream or store it he puts it in this' storage. Other articles, such as- butter, and , meat, are also.:' stored"at times but of course only for a few days atka time. Hence much handl- ing of ice is saved as well as con- siderable time.

NOTHING LEFT TO CHANCE Advance of ,American Divisions at San 'Mihiel Had Been Planned With Elaborate Care: In modern warfare a man's bead fs his chief asset, writes Duke Bolivar. fn Boys' Life. You all know that the St. Mihiel salient, encompassing 152 square miles of territory and 73 vii- !ages, was taken by the Americans. Did you know it was done by bead work? Elaborate plans were made in advance and given out wholesale to the troops. One hundred thousand maps, covering minute details of the country, including natural defenses, and how it was manned by the enemy, were distributed, pins 30,000 photo- graphs, scattered among dicers of the artillery and infantry. Five thousand miles of telephone wire and 6,000 In- struments were employed, and this elaborate system kept up with the ad- vance of the army. By this service flanking troops could telephone their position back to the artillery. The tel- ephone . business of a city of 100,000 could have been handled by this equip- ment- in whose operation 10;000 men were engaged. Thousands of carrier pigeons aided the signal corps. Ex- tensive hospital facilities, 4,800 trucks, miles, of railroad, were provided' for N1tis big military operation, arid -10,000 feet o •movie film were .exposkd; so all the soldiers' had to ikons to'oght. Prepared for the Future; It was at` the doorof a store Which: had advertised exceptional bargains for that day', in the jam, that Mrs. Blank sa sr Mrs, Brown and. rushed to shake bands with her and say: "Oh, Mrs. Brown, are 'you here?" "Yes, I am here, but I did not expect to meet you." "Why, you see, I am going to join the new league and I am $etting ready for it." "Is it the Woman's league .where we pledge ourselves not to buy a .bat or a garment costing more than $102" "Yes, that is the one and I am going to a join it, too. I am gettingready ter it:" And they entered the store together and each bought a dress marked down from $S0- to $43, and $20 hats and coats that cost over $60 each. They went.out feeling that they could stand by their pi edge. "Take One." "Office Window" of the Daily Chron- icle of Loudon was once told a pleas- ing little anecdote of Dame Agnes Weston, the friend of sailors, concern- ing jam tarts, Some lady helper at a sailors' rest had been mistaken enough to hand the sailors tracts while they were having a meal. Miss Weston ad- vised that some better method should be adopted. The tracts were then placer] in a pile on the buffet counter; with a card inscribed, "Please take one:" A sailor with a sense of fun transferred the card to a disk of jam tarts, and, as the rush to the buffet be- gan, the servers Were amazed • to see seiko' after sailor lift a tart and walk away, vehlie the tracts remained in an Undiminished pile.
