DURHAM CHRONICLE Durham. Feb. 23, I905. (By Prof. J. B. Reynolds, of O. A. C.) The season of the year has arrived when the ice house may he filled. There is no reason why most farm houses may not have acontinuous supply of ice throughout the summer. Where a stream or sheet of water is within rest-h, the cost is but trifling. Au ice house can be constructed very cheaply alter the following lashion: Large posts six or eight inches in diameter may be sunk into the ground to support the frame work forming the walls. For a very cheaply lashion: La inches in diet: the ground I work formin; small ice hous three posts c snfiicient.

It is important that the ground below the ice shoulo be kept dry: A building twelve lee: square and eight feet high, afiording Space with- in for ice 1” x 1‘.) x 6 will contain a. bout 1.3 tons of ice, which would un- doubtecly he ample for :11 purposes on the farm.

The ice may then he laid upon this. leaving a space all around between the ice and the wall about one foot wide. As the ice is filled in, his space should be filled with saw- dust or straw, whichever is used. As each layer of ice is completed the crevives between the: blocks should be filled in with ice chips and soft snow, so as to exclude all air from among the ice. After the lull supply of ice is in place the top should he covered a foot deep with straw or sawdust. ‘. i Fox Lin eri gColds Pinol Balsa THE FARMERS ICE HOUSE W. IRWIN.
