An agricultural paper published in
Denmark gives a plan for assisting Ma
ture in the manufacture of ice when
the winter is mild. AS it takes intense
cold to make ice more than three or
four inches in thickness, the Danish
journal proposes to make holes in the
ice, and by the use of portable pumps,
flood the already frozen surface with
a shallow layer of water every even
ing, which speedily freezes. In this
way the ice harvest can be forced to al
most any extent.
