A Barrel Ice Cream Freezer 
More and “oore the farmer’s wife is 
beginning to feel that the good things 
she helps to create on the farm are hers 
to enjoy as well as her city cousin, who 
may have long been familiar with such 
things. Here is a small family size ice¬ 
cream freezer with which the busy woman 
with only a limited time for the work can 
easily prepare delicious frozen dishes for 
the family table. It operates after the 
order of the barrel churn, and both euds 
are open, one end for the ice and salt and 
the other end for the cream preparation, 
thus obviating the likelihood of mixing 
salt with cream in the process of packing. 
(racked ice and salt are first put in 
and the opening sealed afte.r the manner

of the easy seal fruit jar. Then the 
freezer is rotated to other end up and the 
eggs, cream, etc., put iu and sealed, first 
placing the free dasher to agitate the 
mass. Good, smooth texture cream can 
be made iu less than five minutes of crank 
turning. a. h. p. 
Destroying Roaches 
I read recently iu The It. N.-Y. an 
article telling how to get rid of big black 
roaches. I saved the paper, and then 
when I needed it I found it had been mis¬ 
laid. Would you reprint the directions? 
MRS. G. B. 
Sodium fluorid, one part, to one part 
flour, was recently advised for the con¬ 
trol of roaches. It is scattered freely on 
pantry shelves, behind baseboards, in 
cracks in the woodwork, or wherever the 
roaches may run. In cleaning off their 
feelers the insects get enough of the 
material to poison them. Borax, used 
freely and persistently, destroys roaches; 
it should be dusted wherever they run, 
and repeated until they disappear. Borax 
is clean and harmless, but if only a small 
application is made it is not effectual. It 
must be used profusely and persistently. 
a strong, well-fitting halter. Take a bit 
and attach a snap to each ring; open eye 
bolt snaps are best. Snap the bit to the 
halter squares on the cheeks. 11 etc is a 
sketch of the scheme. This rig also 
makes an excellent device for bitting any 
horse. It is so quickly put on and re¬ 
moved that much time can be saved in 
harnessing the farm teams. Just try 
this. a. M.

In regard to the ear-shy filly, page 
747. I have a horse that gave similar 
trouble when purchased about three years 
ago. lie would not allow anyone’s hand 
upon the top of his head, nor would lie 
take the bridle, but would rush instead 
back into the box stall, and cause a lot 
of delay and trouble. I cured him with¬ 
out any difficulty in the following man¬ 
lier : Two or three times a day when pass¬ 
ing his stall, would hand him a small 
ear of corn, and at the same time would 
run my hand over his face and up over 
the top of his head and ears, and then 
pass' on. At first he backed into the 
stall, but later seemed to pay no atten¬ 
tion. and then by taking the bridle in one 
hand and an egr of corn that lie could 
see in the other, would swing the bridle 
on a line with his mouth, and after he 
would lake the bit, would receive the 
small ear of corn, and then quicker than 
it takes to tell it. would slip the bridle 
in place over his head. There was some 
little trouble at first to get him to take 
the hit, but now have him trained per¬ 
fectly. Also in taking him out of the 
stable, and to and from the pasture the 
same method is employed, otherwise lie 
is inclined to bo entirely too frisky and 
wants to come out with a rush, but the 
little ear of corn settles the matter, and 
while busy with the corn, cau be led 
where you will. j. k. R

Disinfecting with Chloride of Lime 
Will you advise me how best to use 
chloride of lime, proportion to a given 
quantity of space of water in a privy 
vault? Can the contcnts*of such a vault, 
after being treated with chloride of lime, 
be used as fertilizer iu a garden? n. k. 
Akron, Ohio. 
Chloride of lime, or, rather, chlorinated 
lime, is a good disinfectant for privy 
vaults in the proportion of one pound to 
two gallons of water, but this substano” 
as ordinarily available is very likely t ■ 
be of doubtful efficacy because* of its Im l; 
of free chlorine gas. It is this gas that 
acts as a disinfectant, the' lime being 
merely a vehicle for it. and commercial 
samples are likely to have lost, enough 
of the gas to render them nearly inert. 
As a deodorant, the commercial “chloride 
of lime” may be sprinkled freely over the 
contents of a vault, using enough to ac¬ 
complish the purpose or the following 
mixture may be used: Sulphate of cop¬ 
per (blue vitriol), oue pound; fresh un- 
slakea lime, one pound; water, 10 gal¬ 
lons. Slake the lime in two gallons of the 
water: dissolve the copper sulphate in the 
remaining eight gallons. To disssolve tbe 
latter readily, suspend it near the sur¬ 
face of the water iu a coarsely woven 
hag. It. will dissolve more quickly in 
this way than if poured into the container 
and allowed to sink to the bottom. Mix 
the slaked lime and copper solution and 
always stir up thoroughly from the bot¬ 
tom before using. This copper-lime mix¬ 
ture should be used in the proportion of 
about one gallon to 30 of the solid or 
semi-solid contents of the vault to be de¬ 
odorized. M. B. D.
