(CoDtrlbutcd by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) A COLD storage is a room or building, dependlns upon the slie, cooled by ice or by some mechanical mean.-?. In short, it is a place for keeping food products cool in the hot weather. Since the farms produce the fooJ and since the cooling ol it should be done quickly and immediately after its production, say milk for exampU-, in order to keep it in good condition as long as possible, would it not seem good busines.s and economy to have the cold storage on the farni?_, This applies to our farms particularly since they produce such very por- ishable products as milk, butter, eggs, fruit and meat. It there was no other advantage In having cold storage on the farm than that it pro- vides a place in which to keep the daily victuals cool and sweet, there would seem to be a good reason for including it in the farm equipment. There are many ways of providing a small cold storage on the farm, but with the exception of very large fruit or dairy farms, the same principle applies to all, namely, that ice is used as the means of cooling. The method of applying the ice to the best advantage constitutes the prot>- lem in each individual case. This is why no one system can be recom- mended for all cases. It is my inten- tion to describe briefly below one type which should give good service in many farm homes. The particular name of this sys- tem is the Bunker system. It con- sists of a small room a few feet square with a bunker or l>oz or rack at one side for holding the cakes of ice. It is sei>arated from the room by a partition which i.s kept a few Inches d the floor and likewise from the ceiling. Ilie bunker has a slat- ted Boor with pan just below to catch water which is disposed nf readily through a drain. This ar- rangement provides a natural means for tbe cold air to drop down to the floor, escape Into the cooling room proper and for the warm air to puss up over the partition to the ice, So long as this bunker is kept supplied with ice there will be a natural flow of cold air through the storage room. It the room be well insulated it should be possible to maintain a tem- perature of about 40 deg. Fahrenheit andafairly dryatmosphere. Those de- siring plans for constructing I he typo Just outlined or any other type may receive them free of charge by com- municating with tbe writer. Inform- ation and assistance will be freely goven to all applicants. Write us. â€" R. U. Grahm, B.S.A., Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph. City Conveniences for Counti-y. The desirability and importance of an ample supply of pure water on every farm can hardly be over empha- sized. Perhaps more than any other food clement it determines the taeallhy and robust development of the body. Inversely, deadly disea.'se germs lurk in the impure waters of contaminated wells which may briiifi death with little warning into the family circle. Without great cxpenso the water supply on the average fai-tii may bo so protected as to prevent contamination and it surely seeius the part of wisdom in every ca.se to ensure an abundant supply of pure water for man and beast. Whore llie household supply must be (Itawn from a well or ti streaui at some diKlance from the dwelling file physical labor involved is gre.ai. It may bo assumed that when no plumbing in installed an allowance of ten gallons per person i)er day lor uil purposes is necessary. With a family of four someone â€" often the hovi;e- wlfo â€" must carry 406 i>ounds of water a day, oi- over one ton a wooli. In the stable luucli the same con- ditions exist. The task of puinpins water by hand for a larpe number of live stock is slow and arduou.'!-- wasteful of time and .trying to iJie temper. And in cold, .stormy weather the stock when driven to an outsidi- tank or an ice-covered stream, wUl rarely drink sufflcient for Dicir host performanco or Uevelopmeui. Water systems in each case pay their way in dollars as well as in (.'unieui- ence, comfort and heallh. The (jueiitlon of cost is Iniportuut. Many liiipiovementfi may be niaUi', however, sucti as safcsuardiiii; tbe well from pollution, install- ing a hydraulic raiu, Heptic tank, gravity sy.stem, etc., which arc not very expensive and when the fanner is able to do a good deal of liie work himself the cost la reduced to a point where thousands can ntfurd iho in- stalatlons. With a practical work- ing knowledge of the principloK of farm water supply, water systems, equipage and sewage disposal few, indeed, who have impure well watei and mo wilhoui household and stable water conveni- ences but can make improvemcnta of a most beneficial nature and ut a cost which they can afford to expend. To give such information is the purpose of a bulletin now presented to the farm public of Ontario by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Prac- tical Information, as complete as pos- ftlble, nod so arranged as to enable each reader to find quickly the par- tleulnr problem lie is most Iniepested In, is given regarding every phase of the water question. To further ns- stbt those wiio may wish to make improvemenlH or inataliationa the authors of the bulletin will gladly Rive personal attention to any quoii- tton or problem which may be sent to thcin. MADE FOR LOYALTY Good E ffect df Cltlzen»'_Battle With the Snow. 0«ve Slacker an Opportunity to 8«« Himself â- â€¢ Other* See Himâ€" - AUo Helped Realization of What War Means. (By GEORGE E. BOWEN. of the VljfU- antei.) It took a lot of backache and blis- ters and frostbite to clear this snow- bound western world of drifted ob- struction, making It safe for travel, secure for the dally affairs of life. Those two great .January storms created n desperate situation â€" one that had to be met and overcome. Everybody suddenly had the same idea â€" a strong shovel, a willing heart and a cheerful disposition. There was nothing else to do. We had to be free. ^ And we were. Every patriot In the middle west who had a shovel and a backbone got out and u.sed them. Lot lines didn't count, for we were fighting a commo.i enemy. The shoveling spirit thrilled us, en masse â€" no one stopped to be saluted or Introduced â€" no one stopped to theorize â€" no one claimed exemption or superiority. We Just asserted oiir right of way â€" and dug it. 5<o, here Is freedom â€" to go or come. It was a great lesson In united ac- tion, a convincing example of the soli- darity of human Interest, a reassuring experience in loyalty to the cause of common welfare. It was an American demonstration. The slacker was thoroughly tin- slacked when he saw his neighbor shoveling oft his walk. It was a worth-while storm. Men met each olher In these neigh- borhood trenches with a new expres- sion In their eyesâ€" a new feeling In their hearts. Over the white-blocked barricades of snow, head high and miles In length, they were seeing those reddened, sand- bagged walls in Belgium. Seeing loyal l»ayoneti shoveling humanity's way to freedom through storm-crushed Flan- ders. Seeing braver patriots than themselves stmggllDg manfully against Alpine avalanchjps of steel and bllz- Bards of fire, that the home-paths of mankind be not obstructed forever by any brutal drifts of hate or selflshneis. The roar of the Arctic terror these neighbors knew when the. storm broke upon their unpreparedness was as nothing to the scream of shells and the thunder of artillery they are hearing now in those trenches across the sea â€" and in their souls. They have realized In a small, blood- less way the meaning of war â€" war that Is a perpetual offenilve storm. Instead of an occasional one In January. When men meet In these snow trenches of the West, there's only one comment: "We've got to help them win." And they mean It â€" as they meant every shovelful of snow they threw out of their paths of peace and content- ment. Some great blessings come thickly disguised. J«* Big Storm Recalled. .Tust thirty years ago In January, the wor»:t storm In ^the history of the United States weather bureau raged over the central West, taking a toll of more than '200 lives and killing thou- sands of farm aniiuals. "Old-timers" asserted there had been a storm of equal. If not wor«e proportions. In 1880, but there are no definite records on the first storm, and It is known to have bten more locally confined thau the "gwait storm of '88." The storm origi- nated' in Nebra«rka and extended to central Iowa and Wisconsin eastward and to the Montana line on the west. The temperature was about freezing when the storm started, but by the next morning it had dropped to 54 de- grees below zero In South Dakota. Grsud Forks, N. D., reported a tem- pei-ature of R2 degree.«i below, while at Sioux City, lu.. It was '.28 below. Near Mitchell, 8. n., a farmer and his son were unable to reach the house five rods distant before the boy was frozen to death. How They Lived In Early Days. Men and women who are com- plaining that the Increasing co.st of food Ktaples is uiakiug the purchase of s<mie luxuries beyond their means should read the account of the priva- tions which the people of medieval England bad to suffer, notes a corre- spondent. They lived without sugar until the thirteenth century, witliout coal until the fourteenth, without but- ter on their bread until the fifteenth, without tobacco until the alxteenth, and potatoes until the sixteenth, without tea, coffee and soap until the seventeenth,, without umbrellas, lamps and puddings until the eight- eenth, without trains, telegrams, gas, niatehes and chloroform until the nine- teenth. , .^^^ : .T^ Pigeon a War Hero.

Or have deserted. Or absented themselves without leave from our Canadian Expeditionary Force, And it is represented that the very serious and unfortunate situation in which these men find themselves is due in many cases to the fact that, notwithstanding the information and warning contained in Our Proclamation afore- said, they have misunderstood their duty or obligation, or have been misled by the advice of ill-disposed, disloyal or seditious persons. AND WHEREAS we desire, if possible, to avoid the infliction of the heavy penalties which the law imposes for the offences of which these soldiers have thus been guilty, and to afford them an opportunity within a limited time to report and make their services available in Our Canadian Expeditionary Force as is by law their bounden duty, and as is netfessary for the defence of Our Dominion of Canada.

AND WE DO HEREBY STRICTLY WARN AND SOLEMNLY IMPRESS UPON ALL SUCH MEN, and as well those who employ, harbour, conceal or assist them in their disobedience, that, if they persist in their failure to report, absence or desertion until the expiry of the last mentioned day, they will be pursued and punished with all the rigour and severity of the law. SUBJECT TO THE JUDGMENT OF OUR COURTS MARTIAL WHICH WILL BE CON- VENED TO TRY SUCH CASES or other competent tribunals: and also that those who employ, harbour, conceal or assist such men will be held strictly accountable as offenders and subject to the pains, penalties and forfei- tures in that behalf by law provided for their said offence. Provided however that nothing contained in this Our Proclamation is intended to release the men aforesaid from their obligation to report for duty as soon as possible or to grant them immunity from arrest or detention in the meantime for the purpose of compelling them to perform their military duty ; Our intention being merely to forego or remit the penalties heretofore incurred for failure to report, absence without leave or desertion incurred by those men of the description aforesaid who shall be in the proper discharge of their military duties on or before the s-'kid twenty-fourth day of August, 1918.
