Office over C per can! . several years we were supplied with ice with little or no outlay in cash. The old ice house was not very ornamental to the place, and we tore it down and erected a more costly building; but the 1 old building kept 'the ice nearly as _well as the new, and I mention it to: show the small cost for which ioe may 1 1 l1 eput up so that no farmer who has ‘ the time to attend to it need be wih‘- - out ice. Five to ten two-horse loads of: :ica are generally sufficient for both1 .dairy and family use and two or three loads of sawdust will pad; it. If an) ,om- wishes to invest about $50 in an ice house eighlt by twelve feetâ€"whichl holds about twenty tonsâ€"it can be built f as follows: Use two by six studdingl and cut them about ten feet long. 00‘ the outside use good, planed siding and : paint it. The inside of the studdingi can be boarded up with rough. cheap lumber. When boarding up fill in the place between the boards with sawdust well tamped down. On a building of this kind I would shingle the roof and put a ventilator in it. I would also put a good wall under the building, and level the bottom by filling in with small stone. A location should be chosen with good drainage to carry off the water; from the melting ice. for the water should not settle and stand under the building. When filling the house with ice, flax straw is about the best .materi‘ al to put in the bottom. but only a few farmers will have it and most must use other straw or sawdust. Sawdust alone on the bottom does not make a witnplete drainage; so it is a good plan first to put some coarser material on the bottom and, spread a few inches of sawdust over it. Large blocks of ice squarely cut, of uniform size, pack and keep the best, and there will be less waste from melting, if ice can be ob- tained from fifteen to twenty inches thick. After putting in a layer, go ov- er it and fill in the crevices with broken ice, then level the surface with an adz before putting in the next layer. Leave a space of a foot or more around the outside of the ice to be filled in with: sawdust; then cover the top with about :eighteen inches of sawdust. Close the ‘Fdoor and open the ventilator in the _ roof, and there is no reason why that ice [should not keep well. If several farm- iers in a neighborhood will combine in 3 purchasing an ice plow, the cost to each ;would be but small, and with it the ; labor ofd cutting the ice is much: less. i W ilth suitable ice tongs the ice is quick- ; 1y loaded from a chute laid from the ;pond to the loading place. I like to idraw the ice on sleighs, and with a :‘man to help me load and pack the ice; l a day’s work will put in all that: I need, l and then half a day's work puts in the lsawdust. There are many luxuries and ! conveniences possible to the farmer with la supply of ice for family use. During .the hot. weather none can make 1C8 lcream as cheaply as the farmer. for he ‘ has all the materials, if he has ice and .an inexpensive freezer. A refrigerat- ‘or placed in the pantry is a great con- ‘venience for the housekeeper for pre- lservi'ng meat, fruit, etc., m summer. '[Passmfg over many other uses for ye I will BnJy say that one accustomed to having a supply of ice does not want. to do without it.
