Immediately of, that comes from the ice
hence put rails down on the ground, there
being no floor, and covered them two feet
with sawdust, which filed up to the top oi
the sills; then / put boards on and covered
them six inches with sawdust, so that the
ice should settle alike, and not make yacu'
ums in my pile, Again, air must not be
admitted at the bottom; If it is, nothing
can keep the ice from melting so put the
scantling forming my inside walls, on which
were nailed inch boards, l2 inches from the
inside of the barn boards, filling the space
with sawdust. Height of wall six feet
The roof of the ice house should not be very
near the ice, hence left all open up to the
roof Of the barn, and took the ice out at the
top. Having an ice house completed, which
two men will make in two days, with team,
if sawdust or spent tan bark is near, pro-
ceeded to procure my ice. Myself and a
man cut the ice in one day, and slid it on
shore, where we let il remain till the water
was all frozen that was dripping from it. l
drew it to my barn and piled it upon the
floor 1t being cold weather, did not pack it
away into the Ice house till fortnight had
passed, during which time it became very
transparent. l put course over the bottom,
and filed the cracks with ice, and then laid
another course, and so on, till my room was
filed. When filed, covered the top course
and 50 on, till M room was filed. When
filed, l covered the top course one foot deep
with swdust, stamped it down, and when
the ice was wanted, removed just enough
sawdust to take out as much ice rs needed.
During summer, when the ice melted on the
sides, filed up with awdust and stamped
Il down closely. We took Ice out every day
and sometimes four or five times in u day,
and have quite quantity on hand now

such gardeners start vegetables in hot beds
under glass thus they obtain potatoes, to-
matoes, cabbages, and cucumbers some two
or three weeks earlier than by open culture,
and the increased price amply rcpays them
for the outlay Of capital and labor.
Strawberries succeed admirably on such
soils, especially if, in addition to high cul-
turc, irrigation is employed. Some of the
strawberry gardens in the vicinity of Balti-
more, consisting Of from ten to one hundred
acres, arc made of worn-out sandy land,
which has been redeemed by cultivation.
One gardiner in the neighborhood of Boston
receives more than three thousand dollars
annually, for the vegetables and fruit grown
upon twenty-six acres of such land. His
proximity to ready market, and to an
abundant supply of manure, arc eircum,
stances which contribute greatly to his sue
cess. But high culture, and a skillful ar
nngement OF successive crops are the essen
tal conditions Of his prosperity. DO not
believe he would make as much money in
proportion to his outlay, in the cultivation
ofa heavy loan, although the coil Is in it.

not be obtained on such soil, and these ART
chief source of profit. Apples would not
succeed as well ON lighter and more sandy
soil. From four porter apple trees on such
a soil, apples have been sold to the amount
Of more than hundred dollars in year
This to be sure is an extraordinary product

On such soil peaches and plums thriv'
better than ON any other, and bear full crop'
