Its parity Is rapidly becoming a matter of bat slightly lem Importance than that of water. While the chemical composition and the factors which affect the parity of water have received a large amount of attention by the agricultural experiment stations, little study has been made of Ice supplies In station laboratories. From gha I lew Ponds. The consensus of opinion Is that natural Ice formed to a reasonable depth m ? panromy pare aoaer usual clrcu?tancsa. but that It Is very likely to be contaminated if it free see to the full depth of a shallow pond or stream er If It Is flooded, particularly with surface water. The Vermont experiment station found that of a small number of samples of pond ice examined all were unfit for household use. The following extracts from a recent publication of the New York state department of health regarding ice and Ice supplies bear directly upon this question: In general there are a great many conceivable ways that ice and ice supplies may become infected. The danger "from many of these causes or Infection may. however, be so remote or so infrequent as to hardly merit notice. There are, however, a few dangers associated with the formation of natural ice and the harvesting of the Ice supplies as now generally practiced which do merit consideration. Insanitary Conditions. Tho first of those dangers Is the one fine to the harvesting of ice from polluted sources. This lea may bo taken Item ponds or rivers which have been polluted by sewage and may contain me iwiim or typbold (irtr and other Second.?Ice may become coutauilaated daring tho period and operations of harvesting by filth which may bare come from Infected sources. The hands and foot of laborers or the hoofs of horses may be the channels by which Infection may be transmitted to the Ice oven after It has been taken from the water and notwithstanding the parity of the water. Third. ? Ice may become Infected from surface drainage from the adjacent lands daring thaws. The water which has thus flowed over infected holds that may have been fertilized or otherwise Infected may be carried on . ., ? the lee and settle and be (rosea Mft it A Feed Hopper.

Weight ef Lime Per BueKeL la connection with a very thorough study of the quality of various hinds of lime need for agricultural purposes In New Jersey, L A.

Hk ??Hi ittov 1k>t tht ?*l|bt of stohe lime per bushel (httpid m? art) la quite variable and without any constant relation to the analysis of the aamplee. The average weight per boahel of the twelve magneeiaa limes was ninety-seven pounds and that ef the six 'marble' limes waa 101 pounda." The weight per bushel of seven oyster shell limes examined varied from thirty-nine to aeveaty-ffve pounds, averaging fifty-one and a half pounds. The prepared or so called "agricultural" limes examined were still more variable in weight Winter Lessee In the South. * It Is a lamentable fact that more cattle and sheep are lost from the effects of exposure la the south than in the north. The explanation is not hard to dad.
