AN HETEROGENEOUS ICE-HOUsE.

There are multitudes of farmers. and me-
by the cost of an ice-house. al
though they can be made of the rudest ma
terials and with home labor. We can extern
porize an ice-house without making tenon
or saving board. Construct pen near
the pond or stream where the ice is to be
gathered, choosing if possible gravel-bank
where there will be good drainage. The
pen may be made of rails twelve feet long,
or of any desired length. The larger the
pen, the better the ice will keep. Lay up
two rails upon each of the four sides. Make
the bottom level, and cover it n foot or
more with straw, sea-weed, or any conven-
lent refuse vegetable matter. Sawdust is
better than straw if it can be had. Spent
tan-bark is u good material for this founda-
ton. Cut the cakes of ice in the usual man.
ner, and pack them closely, filling the inter-
stices with pounded ice, and if the weather
is freezing pour on a little water to make it
solid. Pack the outside with foot of straw +,
sawdust. or other material. and put up the
fence rs the pile of ice rises. The pile can
be conveniently made about eight feet high.
Cover the top with at least eighteen inches
of sawdust, or two feet of straw trodden
down closely. Make a roof of boards or
slabs slanting to the north, sufficiently steep
to shed water, and fasten with few nails.
Such a pile of ice rs this can be secured by
II couple of men and team in II day. A
cheap ice-box made with double sides and
packed with sawdust will be wanted. The
inner chamber should be about 2 feet long
2 feet deep. and ls inches wide. This will
hold single cake of ice weighing hundred
pounds or more, and leave room on top tc
keep milk. fresh meats fruits, and Other
matters. 1t will last from four days to g
week, according to the quantity that Is usee
in the drinking-water. If the extemporan
eous ice-house is not disturbed more than onct
II week, it will probably supply the famil!
through the summer with abundance of ice
We think any farmer who tries this simple
method of supplying his family with ice ont
season will not fail to put up a permanen
building the next, and lay in his stores of ic'
as regularly as his pork and potatoes. /
