eS y correspondent of the New England
Farmer, gives description of very chcan
mode Of erecting an ice house. which he has
found to keep ice the year round without anv
difficulty. The whole cost was three tbor-
sand feet of lumber. q, lbs. of nails and four
or five days work. not cxcccdinc in all about
twenty-five dollars. 1t is built within ano,b-
or house, which he finds to be of crcat ad-
vantage. The following is the dcscripton
OF his mode of building:
In The first place, DIG out the dirt whore

OF two feet. or more. if exposed to frost GREAT

on level with three inch plank. Commence
upon these plank with scan,linr. sawed one
and half. by four inches for YOUR wall I,v-
ing one upon the other and mailing them one
10 the other: inside OF this Law up another
''er' leaving space of about four inches to
be fIIlcd up with sawdust, or tanbark 50 con-
finue TIL You have it as high as vou wish for
zee; then take plank and cover over, bavin,
them come to the outer edge of vour inside
wall ; continue on as before with vo,,r walls
until as high as YOU like and cover all over
with plank two inches double if unlor COW
or no roof will be necessary more than this
Have two doors, one where the ice is. and
