of potatoes large, and some rot reported on 
Long -sland. Cabbage very low, some going 
at 15 cents a barrel.

HANDLING THE COLT. 
Our experience in colt raising has been 
to give the young colt the best of care and 
feed, especially the first year of his life 
Feed the mare liberally with oats, bran, 
grass, clover, etc. Place a box near the 
mare, but out of her reach, and keep a 
few oats in it. The colt will soon learn to 
eat them. Long before the colt is weaned 
he is eating a good ration of grain, and 
when he is finally weaned he scarcely no 
tices it. We like to tame the colt and 
break to halter when quite young. It is 
much easier then, and less dangerous to 
the colt. We wean at four to six months 
old. The colt being broken to stand to 
halter and eating grain freely is tied in 
stall with dam. He scarcely realizes that 
he is being weaned. He is allowed plenty 
of exercise ana an abundance of nourish¬ 
ing food until grass is strong and good 
the next Spring. 
JOHN HITCHCOCK & SON. 
Pecatonica, Ill. 
Improving an Ice House. 
8. L. TP., Harrisburg, Pa .—What is the rea¬ 
son I cannot keep my ice? I put in last 
February 20 tons, making a crib of about nine 
feet square and 12 feet high. I have coal 
cinders and sawdust in bottom, and have nine 
feet six inches sawdust lining and one foot 
inside and cover, with about six inches 
sawdust at top, and my ice is now almost 
gone. 
Ans. —1 he chief trouble with this ice- 
iiouse is that it is too small to keep ice 
successfully in the latitude. The cube of 
ice should be, at least, 12x12x12 feet, to 
provide for loss by melting and to have 
enough left to use besides. I would rec¬ 
ommend him, however, to try his present 
house once more, and make the following 
changes: Place a layer of coarse stones 
on the ground beneath the cinders and 
sawdust to improve the drainage. See 
that there are no holes by which warm 
air can enter the building near the ground. 
If I understand it, he has a six-inch space 
between the two walls, and fills this with 
sawdust and also puts one foot of saw¬ 
dust between the inner wall and the ice. 
I would put nothing in the six-inch space, 
and make the house walls as tight as 
possible by adding a covering of some 
kind of building paper or roofing, put on 
the inside or the outside. Cover the ice 
with 18 inches of sawdust instead of six 
inches. If there is a single thickness of 
roof I would put a # lining in Jo make an 
air space. A roof of one thickness gets 
very hot in the Summer sun, and imparts 
its heat to the air above the ice. Make 
small ventilating holes as high as possible 
on the gables of the house. If 20 tons of 
ice have been put in the house so as to 
form a mass 9x9x12 feet it has been placed 
very loosely. In a small house particular 
pains should be taken to cut the ice true 
and lay as closely as possible, filling up all 
holes with chunks of the ice. G. davis.
